Mika V De Luna Controversy....

maybe de luna is the shark that fedor was talking about with joe rogan? I watched the match live and personally did not see or hear mika call it. The announcers were talking as mika was planning the shot, so that may have drowned it out. There is obviously more to the story. De luna was very fidgety in the chair while mika was shooting throughout the match. He would be cleaning shaft, working on his tip etc while mika was down on a shot and facing his direction, which i find disrespectful. Even in my small insignificant league, when someone is shooting and i am in their line of sight, I freeze and hold still until they are finished. No hand shake at the end either. Even some old earl matches that had fights involved ended in hand shakes. The whole thing wasnt a good look for professional pool.
yes, it has already been confirmed that de luna is the shark fedor was referring to
 
Tyler Styer, Oscar Dominguez, Donny Mills, and BJ Ussery have all chimed in on FB supporting Mika and calling De Luna a shark.

cuz they all know deluna is a stroke pulling punk.

and he was sharking earlier in the match, didn't wanna sit down and stuff. that mika showed poor class and overreacted goes without saying. high pressure, high temperament moment though
 
This thread has some of the dumbest arguments I have seen and reason I don't waste too much time on social media. De Lunas past has nothing to do with what transpired today. No need for Mika to shout at him. And for those who say the combination was obvious so need to call I would say stick with APA pool 😁

While it was obvious he was playing the combination... if you are playing call shot then that shit NEEDS to be called. Combos and banks, regardless of how obvious or clear they may seem NEED to be called as there is a greater question of a possible safety being played.
 
I watched it live and Mika was in the right in my opinion. It's also not the first time either has been in the middle of controversy but I hear DeLuna name come up way more often in that area.
 
I don't really blame DeLuna for getting up and being ready to take the shot after the ref called a foul. It's a weird situation to imagine being in DeLuna's shoes if he clearly heard Mika call it and let the ref make it a foul anyway. But I don't know what DeLuna heard or not. I'm pretty sure I'd stick up for Mika in that situation even knowing it would be taking the L, but my livelihood doesn't depend upon pool, and being inclined to give it to Mika is probably a good indication it never should.

That said, DeLuna is known for sharking, and although I'm not sure how intentional his behavior during the match was, it bothered Mika.

Yeah Mika didn't handle the situation with grace. It would be better interpersonally if he did. That said, I've played Mika before and watched him a lot. He's what I would call a "person". He's normally a good person, a great competitor, passionate, and fair. But he also has emotions, and they can get the better of him. That's how most of us are.
 
theres a controversy involving mika???

Even the commentators were talking about the 5-9 combo.
 
there was something earlier in the match as well, de luna was being sharky while mika was shooting. iirc the ref told him off. might have been a second thing too. mika is a crybaby but de luna is a punk, and it's well known too

Both people are very well known for their attitudes and “moves” (aka being a piece of shit human) , them playing each other is just a recipe for this basically every time.
