It’s a measure of the gap between SVB and the rest of the Americans that no one bats an eye when he makes the final 16 of an event like this, while other players get hearty congratulations. SVB is just expected to make it.
US supporters/fans would be counting their lucky stars to be fortunate enough to have a fluke world champion. And that person would be deserving of a Mosconi Cup slot even if they played like shit the rest of the year.
I thought the same thing about the artwork. AI gone wild and sketchy from a rights perspective. This is small enough potatoes that they'll probably be fine.
