Why would it be embarrassing? Not only is Team CSI not soft.....they are actually a very deep and talented team. Each one is very accomplished with tournament success. They will also have good chemistry as Oscar & Vilmos are great friends and all of the players are well liked.
Corey posted on FB that he was invited but it was during his birthday. He declined.
Is pool your main source of income? Then you're a professional pool player. Skill is irrelevant.
I agree.
Not a single person on the planet, would be embarrassed if Alex or anyone of his skill level defeated them at pool. After all, Alex is an extremely dangerous player to go up against.

Teams are leagues, leagues are amateurs.
I don't know of any touring pros that ever played a full season of leagues other than John Abruzzo IL.
Putnam played a season in a local league several years ago. I remember at one point his record was like 42-3 playing nine ball.
I don't know what you would consider Jason Kirkwood but he was active in NAPA for quite awhile.
Yeah. **** flyover country.:boring:
Many European pros play in leagues.
Souquet, Albin, He and Alcaide even play on the same team.
Filler, Nils, Bijsterbosch, Max Lechner and several others play leagues. That is how they stay sharp.
In the US there are no leagues for top players. The US leagues are mostly for beginning players and are not separated into ability levels. From what I have heard, European leagues are very, very different and emphasize the chance to improve.
Yeah that sounds like a decent team but they’d probably struggle against “Ridin the 9” or “Miss Cues”
Because you said, you don't know any pro, who plays in a league.
Now you know pros, who play in leagues.
The pool leagues in Europe are still considered amateur leagues and most players, even on the top level, are amateurs.
But the pros participate, because some of them get paid and they have more matches against high level players.
Practice is one thing, but only competition can give you experience and harden you for tournaments.
What I'd like too see, is a semi pro event (bar table)....where Each state of the Union creates their Best team (no pros allowed).
