I for one applauded Corey's decision to broaden his billiard playing horizons and compete in the United States National Snooker Championship as it was great for snooker in the United States.
He deserves a lot of praise for also taking the decision to play in the IBSF World Snooker Championships whatever his achievement in the event is.
The match schedule has been released and I believe has been very kind to Corey:

He will play who would be considered the weakest two players in his group for his first two matches, and if you judge his performance by what he did in the National Championship, this will help him grow into his game.
The player from Israel maybe of a similar standard to Corey, but he will probably struggle against Welshman Lee Walker and China's Zhao Xintong, but as four qualify from the group I expect Corey to go through - any wins he may have from then on in the knockout stage will be a bonus.
Ahmed Aly has a tough opening group match as he is playing the defending champion from Pakistan, Muhammad Asif, but he too certainly has a good opportunity to advance out of the group.
