I just read that there are going to be 2 more sessions and at the end of today, there will only be 4 teams left. This means that there is going to be a re-draw and the final 16 matches will start soon.
Unknown monsters strike again (see red highlighted text).
Gariando was the same guy who eliminated SVB in the singles tournament. Together with Alinsub, they demolished the Hohmann/Morra team 9-3 on an alternate break format.

:thumbup: Mapandi/Feliciano has just defeated Morris/Immonen with a score of 9-6. If you have time, watch how they dismantled the more famour pair. They are now in the final 4:
They just announced they will not have live streaming on the semi-final round, only the finals starting at 1 pm over there or 12 midnight over here in the US east coast.
However, they will provide live scoring on their facebook page for the semi-finals which started already:
OK Winner of 1st MP cup few mths ago knocked out by unknowns SILVANO/LEGASPI
Taiwan duo Cheng/Hsu defeated giant killers Feliciano /Mapandi
Semifinal results
SILVANO/LEGASPI - 9 vs. DE LUNA/IGNACIO - 7
FELICIANO/MAPANDI - 7 vs. HSU KAI LUN/CHENG YU HSUAN - 9
So Final will be SILVANO/LEGASPI v HSU KAI LUN/CHENG YU HSUAN starting minutes from now
Of the 4 , the only known guy is Cheng Yu Hsuan aka Kevin Cheng who took down White Diamonds earlier this year and was in CSI invitationals few months ago
Convincing lead 3-0 for the taiwaneses with 2 break and runout.
hsu kai lun lost on the hill vs wu jia quing in the last-16 of the last w9bc. That was hell of a match. I think the match is available on youtube if someone wanna see how well the guy can play under pressure vs a world champion.
Sorry I haven't been back to give more info. It's 10-9 now in favor of Hsu/Cheng. This has been quite a frustrating match to try to watch. Silvano/Legaspi to break next.
The stream is choppy, fuzzy, and sometimes out entirely.
The pace of play is very slow -- too much conferring.
