fedor must like his route.. no yapp, filler, kaci, ko, biado in that half.
then you look at the other half, in adding to above names are wojciech, jayson, maciol, lechner, wu kun lin, chang yu lung, capito.. brutal
no filler on the tv table. now i get that kaci v ko is the match for that time slot, but there definitely is a pattern here. the best player in the world has become "back table josh"
shane has looked quite tired, my money would be on big ko. i think both brothers will be in single elim. sky will play on main table again, against hoang
ok. thought you meant other than mosconi. yes could have been a year or two where josh could have been picked, over maybe wolford or reinhold. but those choices could have been merited with cultivating young talent. josh is 40+. and he's not putting himself out there enough in rotation either
how about this, until they figure out shot clock for all:
don't put the well known slow asses on any stream table. they get less exposure, their sponsors get less exposure = they better pick up their pace.
they can use AST, average shot time, if the selection seems too arbitrary
if the whole country isn't being considered, would be interesting to know who you have in mind. names, their fargorates etc.
in our era there are very few hidden monster players, especially in the USA and europe.
viet pool instructor with a high top gear, but not super consistent. played in most of the recent majors and some invitationals. to my knowledge never made QF
there are a couple guys like that. if wu jiaqing or zheng xiaohuai gave WNT a serious go they would likely be in the very top within a few events.
what annoys me with chang yu lung is that he looks the same as 15 years ago, while my hairline in the same time period (and age) has gone full ralf...
