those two have quite a history matching up and beating each other in finals. I expect that will be a good match. Shaw should be good at 8-ball given his past but Dechaine will likely outbreak him.

has shaw or dechaine won anything 8b related?

Shaw has a lot of English 8 ball titles under his belt.

we could hardly hear ken, but let a commercial come up, it is on full blast.

they really need to lower the volume on the commercials. it is very annoying.

Shaw won English 8ball (or blackball) World few years ago.

IMHO Shaw is by far the better potter and shotmaker while Dechaine is probably better in break. Shaw should win this :grin:

Both are most noted as being shot makers though so it is a battle of the shot makers. Should be an interesting match. I think Shaw is ahead in their recent match ups but I could be mistaken.

It's a very good match. I never thought it wouldn't be just trying to see what it was gonna be. Wish they would give us a couple updates on the Ko Kiamco match.

gxman · Jul 23, 2014

dechaine 4-1 and shaw scratched on the break...

shaws in big big trouble here.

Don't like to compare and complain but those who followed the recent World 9b will be disappointed. The World 9b had regular scoring updates, brackets, streams on all 10+ tables . From qualification stage also. Almost 2 weeks .And all free Quality was awesome courtesy of Kozoom :thumbup:

gxman · Jul 23, 2014

shaw soft breaks.

Bit of strategy by Shaw I think and Dechaine is ruffled and rhythm affected

Yeah. You can't compare anything to that stream ever. It was the stone cold nuts. If you expect anything close to that every stream you're gonna be real disappointed.

Kozoom was the service provider. Qatar paid the bills for the stream.
