Second-tier among the Filipinos.
America has one first tier player in Shane, and MAYBE one guy who can compete with the Filipino second tier, in Bergman?
What's your point. You can act like a little girl all you want about me calling Alcano an arguably second rate Filipino in his current form, but the fact remains.. He IS second rate in the Philippines right Now, and Filler couldn't beat him, despite being gifted a good solid 4-5 games due to Ronnie' s misses.
There are literally prolly 10 Filipinos right now that would swim a river of shite to play Filler in any game where he has to think.
He may improve, but Filler is not elite class yet, despite the nut huggers.

Maybe... 1. He has to start playing better patterns, and start getting closer to his work. 2. He needs to study three cushion to play more safes that go three rails and get behind balls, rather than go three rails and just leave distance. Other players can shoot too, you know. 3. He needs to stop with the YES BABY! grandstanding.. Doing this spikes your adrenaline, which has a negative effect on your game.

Alcano has 2 seconds in the US Open 9-Ball Championship (to SVB and Immonen) but no wins.
I love reading everyone’s speculations about top and second tier...But seriously all these guys play so well, the breaks and the safes/decision making are what sets them apart. Anyone one of them can beat eachoher depending on the other’s mental state. And for those reasons I think SVB and Dennis are the only players I’d confidently bet on. They rarely make a wrong decision/often execute the right one.
SVB seems to never shoot the wrong shot. :thumbup:
Dennis shoots the wrong shot, and makes it.

Why are you pushing so hard on this issue? We all know the tier 1 list for USA is 1 line long.
Absolutely wasn't anything against the Americans that's the only ones I like to gamble with I don't trust any others... I was just giving him a chance to make a score off of me based on his opinion
Mighty nice of you!

Ko Pin Yi was down 14-4 against Dennis Orcollo in the finals of one of those Asian 9-ball tournaments filled to the brim with some of the best players from the Philippines, Taiwan, etc. and Dennis scratched. Yi ran out that game then ran a 10 pack and out to win the tournament 15-14.
Not to take anything away from Wu, he was and still is a monster. I just haven't seen a tournament finish that's matched Ko Pin Yi's win over Orcollo in such an impressive fashion. It was ~10 years ago, I think it was a Guiness or San Miguel event, something like that. Video was on YT in segments but I can't find it anymore.
We got some One Pocket Action now

Now the question is, does Ronnie have a cue he likes and has he been playing with that cue the entire day?
I heard the last match he had a mystery cue and still won

He was downstairs with a few cues earlier playing straight pool, then had a one pocket match at 11. Dude never looks uncomfortable with a cue in his hand.
