2016 World 9-Ball Championship
- Thread starter arps
- Start date
Supposed to go on 1045 qatar time per schedule
Is there any chance SVB v Omar isn't on the stream table? If they stay consistant it should be American top gun v hometown underdog I mean wouldn't it be the win of the guys career. I'm not a SVB hater by any means but I gotta say I'm pulling for him
I'm guessing that will be the first streamed match. I think the best round of 16 matchup is Biado versus Ko the Younger though.

Quite an eclectic group. It's funny to hear Alex talking about how the "young guys" play so well these days. I can't believe Alex is 38 now, and Shane just turned 33.

one minor thing about the Ko brothers, Ko Pin Chung was beaten by Shane, not his older brother in the Semis.
That's true, Shane beat Ko the Younger 11-1 in last year's semifinals, while Ko the Elder beat Wu in a great hill-hill match in the other semifinal.

Really hope they show this match cos it is the match of the round
It could also decide the eventual champ
anybody missing the translate drop down?
Shaw already down 0-3 to the Ukrainian Koshovoj...
Biado changed his mind on the combo while down on the shot....kiss of death.
Wow...1 ball in side every break...call a plumber...tables leaking
