My guess is that Yapp is going to end up regretting making such a public accusation (regardless if it's true or not)...if Yapp hasn't regretted it already. It's a lose-lose situation airing this out in public. If you think something nefarious is going on, talk to MR and the tournament director privately. Don't post the accusation publicly on FB.

The filipinos were absolutely sucking in this new format and it's no secret that they are quite often angle shooters. I have no direct knowledge of anything but I wouldn't doubt it.

not really. few of them travelled during the pandemic, and when it opened up it was a slow trickle of asian players coming, and sometime there MR changed break rules. add to that visa problems and relatively low prize funds until last year. that the most pool playing nation on earth was gonna practice like hell and get results when MR threw a 1000000 prize fund world championship is hardly surprising

List of pro players who stick to wood as their playing shaft

Call me a dinosaur, but I equate old-skool cues and shafts to classic muscle cars. Those cars don't handle as well, aren't as fast, aren't as efficient, aren't as safe, and aren't as reliable. But, I still love them and will be paying a premium over the technologically superior Tesla. My money bets there will always be people like me that feel the same. It's a big world with lots of buyers for custom collectibles that few others own. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :)

Old school pool cues, like high end automatic watches, can get uber fancy but requires artisans to work on them when maintenance is required. I love both as well and will need serious time trying to make any switch to CF.

My coworkers used to make fun of my Breitling and Omega watches while sporting GSHOCKS. Fast forward a few months, and I find them shopping for Rolex, IWC's, and even Panerai. Go figure... :D
