Predator Challenge of Champions. Fedor vs Filler vs Biado

Shoot outs are pretty silly .... reminds me of Russian Kenny's quasi hustle shooting spot shots with the cueball in the jaws of the pocket.

My buddy Ryan crushed Kenny shooting spot shots behind the back.
 
I've always had in my head if i had my own tournament. I would do something like this with multi games and have one winner. I would probably throw on 3 cushion and Snooker too. Maybe 14.1 too
 
I’ve just read the rules. The 9 ball will be first to 4 but winner breaks!. They alternate who breaks first in each set. Lag will be hugely significant
 
Did anyone watch this? I tuned in a minute or two and lost interest. All I was seeing was Filler thinking to himself "I gave up the big crowds at Hanoi for this empty ballroom".
 
i watched. high quality play, fedor won. took like 10 games for either of them to miss a ball. the 9b and 10b may be more interesting.

I had trouble watching it for long, couple with the audio problems on the stream. Likewise I think the 9 and 10 ball will be great.
 
sounds like the commentators are in a closet. weird audio. bunch of total wack-jobs in the chat as usual.
I love the event itself, but in my opinion, the commentary has been uniformly terrible, with a lot of inaccurate analysis of the play and very few nuanced observations about angle management and tactical decision making.

Matchroom seems to have all the good commentators these days.

i don't often mute but yes this is terrible. i can understand predator wanting to cut costs but then at least they could send them proper audio equipment.
 
matchroom commentators are better
when they don’t force the british terms
on the game of pool such as

draw level
three- nil
pot the ball
cannon the brown seven
third frame
on the trot
total clearance
break off shot
with pace
into baulk
the rest
mid session interval
it went scrappy
force a decider

etc, screw, fluke, in-off

not that i don’t fancy
flawless sessions of snooker
with cracking pots and massive clearances,
delicate little nudges and telling safeties

i will admit that check side
is more precise
than inside english
especially if you are english
 
Britllish dun bother me except when they state the score as __Leading by__ #games to #games. Mikaela Tabb would always announce the score in those terms. Drives me crazy.

I think at least one of the commentators was remote. That can't help.
