World 10-ball

[Cuedup]

Sorry if I misinterpreted you. My bad.

Yeah, it's the puzzle we must solve. If we could make it clearer to spectators what players are attempting without making the game harder to follow and without slowing it down, great, but to this point in our game, we haven't found a way.

APA figured out call shots.

Pocket markers.

Zero discrepancies about what the intended shot is. Direct and visual.

I just watched a fantastic match with Yo Ping Yi/Atencia. Atencia was down 6-1 and won the next 5 to go 6-6 then then they went hill/hill with Atencia getting the win. That was some strong composure that Atencia had not getting down on himself

He's obviously very knowledgeable, but he drives me nuts! I guess that's why Baskin Robbins offers 32 flavors...

My favorite was Bentivegna. Long gone now. He had a way with words and of course his knowledge was way up there.

Nick Varner is good on commentary as well. Knowledgeable and witty

I'm enjoying listening to the women commentate. One, it's different. Two, I actually like when they are commentating on their partner's matches. You hear some personal insights that frankly makes the commentating more interesting. The whole pool world is a big family. I have zero problem if a commentator is rooting for one player over another.

One thing I believe is missing from this CSI event compared to the MR events, is post match wrap-up. Interviews with the players, how the rest of the tournament is progressing, etc. Right now, it's just match is over, and a few seconds later the stream is turned off. I think adding a bit after the match would make the production more polished.

Couldn't agree more. Margaret's and Kritstina have exceeded my expectations. I love the accents and the subtle different wordings they use. I hope they continue to let them do it. It's a treat.

I agree with this. We aren’t looking for play by play breakdown from our commentators just some knowledge and random interesting bits. I think it’s great having someone who has skin in the game commentating.
Also regarding JJ - I think he is great and my guess is he isn’t commentating because of cutec commitments and this is a Predator event?

Plus they seem to be pretty knowledgeable as well. Being in relationships with Tyler and Fedor , they live, breathe and sleep pool. I’d like a mixed scotch doubles between these two!

 

[iusedtoberich]

Fedor vs Hoang on another channel. Commentary in Vietnamese. I'm watching this one!

My favorite Jim Wych-ism: “And he knows it.”
Example: “He missed that ball, and he knows it.”

SVB Looking like he wants it!

Damnit... I jinxed him! Im shuttin up now ha

The best ever American commentator is Billy Incardona. The best ever European commentator is Alex Lely.

 

[Cornerman]

Just wondering if Sanchez is going to hold every world championship title at the same time including the World Cup.

 

[iusedtoberich]

Russia is killing Vietnam 7-0. Also 13k people are watching that match. I just tuned into Shane's match and 5k people are watching him. I guess Vietnam likes pool more than USA. ha ha.

yep probably poolitics with JJ. he used to commentate CSI events before they partnered with predator. the best commentator imo

Is the top guy still boycotting? I forgot his name. I think he won the McCreary.

OOPS! I thought you were talking about the concurrent 3C World Cup!

i like jj but he'd be a LOT better if he'd cut his word-count in half. everyone watching plays pool and they don't need/want EVERY single shot analyzed. let the game speak for itself and interject as needed.
