Hello
I have heard of Babica ok
I mean this Babica has been around for looongg time probably since Reagan era lol just kidding. He is only Polish player that most people outside Poland know
Still congrats good job by Poland.. they had 2 in last 6 of a superb strong field
They are in money ..i think few thousands at least
Looking at the final 8, I would have to say that Johann Chua is the dark horse. The list of players he has beaten to be in the quarter finals is very impressive (Ralf Souquet, Wang Can and Lee Van Corteza) if you compare it to the rest of the final 8. I would not be surprised if he snaps this off.
Warren Kiamco cannot be over looked too. He is on a roll and has been playing great since his win at the DCC. He can certainly give the Ko brothers a run for their money in the upper bracket.
The games will resume starting at 9:30 PM US EST tonight, Friday.

I was just teasing you :thumbup:
Yes, Babica was around like, "almost forever"started playing around 1995
The other Polish guy, Mieszko Fortunski is one of the younger generation of Polish players but not the youngest anymore by our standards.
He seems to be on the rise with his form;
2014 9-ball & 10-ball Polish Champion,
2014 Polish Ranking Winner and still on the top of the Ranking.
Have a look here:

I am rooting for Yang as it is long overdue. Warren is a sentimental favorite also and he is on a roll this year. We like to see the "old guys" open some eyes by snapping this from the younger guys. The younger guys have time on their side but not Yang and Warren
Ko Pin Yi would be one to beat and this may be his year. He has best break and when it is working he is hard to beat. Heck even when his break is not working v Mika and Kazakis, he is hard to fade. Yesterday, he raced to 8-0 v Ruben and 4-0 v Nasution. With alt break, it is very tough for his opponent to come back from such big leads. On the last day, it comes down to form and how badly each of them wants to win it

LOL was pulling your leg also. Fortuneski is the one I never heard of but now I know thanks for your info.
Sometime ago there was chatter here about some guy coming to take down some big US tourney. A Hungarian was mentioned then Vilmos and Babica was mentioned also
Good to see the less known countries of Europe doing well.![]()
