International Challenge Of Champions $50,000 Starts Today
- Thread starter cuetable
- Start date
It will sure be exciting!!! 50 000 $ to the winner.
Interesting to think about:
50 000 $ = 2 300 000 Philippine Pesos. Monthly average salary in Philippines, maybe 10 000 Pesos. So 230 montly salaries if Corteza wins.
50 000 $ = 36 000 €. Monthly average salary in Holland, maybe 2 750 €. 13 monthly salaries for Feijen if he wins.
Who will be most nervous? Who is the victory most important for?
I guess I would never rush on a shot if I could win 230 monthly salaries for a poolmatch (1 100 000 million $)............... The voice in my head would repeat Check position, aim, relax, follow through all the time

I bet that Corteza wins both sets. 
Who do you think will win?
I like both players. But there will only be one winner. My sentimental favourite is Lee Van Corteza but it could go either way. Who do you think will win and why?

Feijen is more experienced both on winning tournaments, playing finals and play on tv-table. He is the player with the best average finish on the eurotour the last year, and he is my favourit to win in almost any tournament he enters.
But, I have seen Van Van do 10 Break & Run against Orcullo earlier this year, from 18 - 11 behind to turn the match around and win 23 - 19. The most impressive play I have seen in my life, I think.
But I think Feijen will bring it home to Europe, just as he did with Derby City Classic 9-ball earlier this year.
corteza feijen set 1
corteza wins the lag almost freezing the ball to the foot rail and proceeds to break and run, still in dead stroke.
feijen breaks but ends up scratching on the 3 (that damned 3!) and corteza runs out from ball in hand
then another beeak and run for corteza to bring it to 3-0.
feijen breaks and runs for 3-1
corteza breaks and runs for 4-1
feijen breaks and makes a ball but has no pocket for the one and plays safe, corteza plays a great 2 rail kick safe back and then feijen fails to contact the one giving ball in hand to corteza for the run out to win the game and match 5-1

corteza feijen set 2
feijen breaks and has a thin cut on the one but makes it and should be out, but mises the 8, corteza, amazingly misses a 2 foot straight in shot on the eight and hands it back to feijen for 1-0 feijen
corteza breaks and runs to the 4 has to play 4 6 combo and unfortunately makes both leaving a hard shot on the 5. instead of a possible safe he tries a long thin cut and misses again handing it to feijen
feijen breaks and makes the 1 but has to push, he leaves a tempting choice for corteza and he misses a difficult combo leaving the table open for feijen to bring the match to 3-0
corteza breaks and comes up dry, but with nothing but a possible jump shot to the one, feijen elects to push to a bettr jump position. corteza immediately tells feijen to take the shot and he clips the 2 giving corteza ball in hand, from which he runs out to 3-1 feijen
feijen breaks and runs for 4-1 feijen
corteza break and run for 4-2 feijen
battery getting very low hopefully ill be able to finish this....

Battery died *immediately* after posting the final post, lucky I guess!
Sorry for the crappy grammer and short posts, but typing on a phone while also trying to watch - not so easy.
First time I made the trek to uncasville for this thing...managed to come back exactly $1 up - anytime you don't lose you win right?
No more updates- it is all here. A great series of updates too, I'd add!APA7 said:Does N E 1 have updates?
