I commented about that last night. Theres a lot of skidding going on over there.
They are more sliding than skidding to me.
Li He Wen has been around in China for a long time. He lost to Alcano in the semis of the WC a few years ago when Alcano beat Souquet in the final to win. Li and Fu Jian Bo won the World Cup of Pool team title in Europe twice in the past few years. Very strong player who has a lot of action in China.

Nick just lost 11-8.
It's just a matter of time before the male Chinese pool players dominates, their female counterparts are almost there already...

the commentator is a friend of mine, which I will speak to soon about this personally, they aren't allowed to speak in English due to the television airs in the arab region as it was intended to, I watch it on my TV, not on the stream, and thats why in our area its meant for the arab audience, but believe me I will encourage that they make an english commentary specially for the online stream if it is at all possible, but here's the thing I understand the commentary and believe me you don't want to hear it, with their commentary they are reaching or speaking to the very low/new level of audience to pool, most of the time they are talking about rules, why is he shooting the 2 ball, and not the 3 ball, and that he's shooting the 2 because its a rotation game going from 1 to 9 and if he shot the 3 its a foul, then explain what is a foul and what a player can do with a foul = ball in hand, then what is ball in hand. and that about why did he push out, or what is push out, or why is it a foul and not a legal shot, basically the rules, they aren't speaking about the situation at all whatsoever, they aren't giving the options of a player in a certain delimma and what he can and can't do, and if he does option A he'd be better for the ball, or the shot will be harder and what can happen if he shoot this shot or go 2 rail instead of 3 rails, you get my point, basicaly its nothing like accu-stats commentary, or billy incardona or grady mathews RIP.
as I said its boring for a good player who wants to learn more, they reaching out for people who know nothing about pool is what I'm trying to say, even tho I understand it, sometimes I just mute it, honestly, just so you guys don't feel bad about not understanding the commentary because even if you do, you'd mute it
have fun.
Thanx for that insight, sir.
...bumping it to remind everybody....watching is good enough for me.
When I play it at the pool hall.......
...you wouldn't want to hear THAT commentary either....
