Biado beat Vann Vann but looked very unhappy with how the table plays
Kaci battled back, melly couldn't put him away
Melling is always a pleasure to watch as a pool player. One of the most intelligent and creative over there. And Kaci is a former major winner, lat year's runnner-up. So the streamer's choice is pretty much natural and approvedyea, agree, hope they show raga v soufi. yesterday they didn't show 16:00 matches?
i was questioning putting melling v kaci on the tv table. melling is not really a contender imo. but it's been good so far, melling is actually breaking well for once and he is leading..
Reasonable points, Bob, but you are too kind. You can’t charge $100 a year for a product and give customers what we have (haven’t?) been seeing.They are dealing with a new production company (I'm pretty sure). Matchroom does not have the staff to do their own productions. I believe even the director -- who chooses the cameras during play -- is a temp. The stream company has been with them for a while, but this is probably a production interface that's new to them. They have fixed things like no names or scores on the silent streams, so there is someone actually doing useful things. There's more to be fixed, and with luck most of it will be done by the knock out phase (last 64).
I suspect that the WNTTV streams have a relatively low priority because commercial broadcast contracts are much more lucrative. Also, I imagine that Matchroom has very little, if any, monitoring of how the WNTTV streams appear in the respective customer countries. When I say, "relatively low priority," I mean in relation to all the other things that have to be fixed, repaired, patched up, and worked around in a production this size. They have to deal with 128 pool players, after all.
melling is playing great
Probly should block us all."knowing", "acquainted", and "friendly" are fairly separate interpersonal dynamics. Incessantly pestering a middling player with unwarranted advice, even going so far as to secretly videotape them seems like a pretty clear boundary issue for the latter two, and a flagrant violation for the former. Nevertheless, I'm really not interested in furthering a conversation with those so socially maladjusted that they just can't fathom why a guy at a pool hall would have a problem with that. Blocked.
Ruiz needs a personality implant.
