You folks see Oscar's safety play last night against Yannick here?

 

[Monti]

i agree.

filler's a freak of nature. he's a lot like earl in some ways (eerily accurate, instinctual, spears the cue ball) but with a heap of tactical skills, banking and two way strategic moves. his winning ball in the 2021 american 14.1 championship semifinal against fortunski is a prime example:

What does spear the cue ball mean?

Im looking for the player winning the most games period.

7-0, 7-0, wins then 6-7, 6-7, 6-7 loss

32 to 21 and lose, what a joke, dumbest shit ever. Just a possible example so calm down

I do agree although playing devils advocate. A tennis match can go 0-6,0-6, 7-6,7-6,6-4. And we would t complain about the winner- we’d just call it a good comeback ?

Fun match. That was a sick shot. Great play from Oscar after being down 13-8.

Filler hits the ball well.

The format is a joke.

Before the last rack, USA A won 14 racks and USA B won 7 racks.

But if USA B won the last rack, the game would have gone to a shoot-out, where anyone can win.

Can you imagine a NFL or NBA game where one team has a lot more points and still ends up losing?

Lucky you're not a baseball fan. In the 1960 World Series the Pirates beat the Yankees by 4 games to 3. The 3 games they lost were by scores of 16-3, 10-0 and 12-0. The 4 games they won were by scores of 6-4, 3-2, 5-2 and 10-9.

I hate the shootout, but the format works for me. I would equate it more to an NFL team gaining more yards than the opponent, but still ending up losing. Happens all the time.

yes but whatever came of the third set? saw gesticulating but no explanating

 

[GideonF]

Same would happen with long set. I see what you're saying though

I’m not saying it’s a better format (indeed as a viewer I prefer one long race), I’m just saying that it isn’t obviously bad. Many people (including me) thought when it was first announced that it would result in more randomness than a longer race, so it wasn’t as good a test of skill. I don’t think that any more.

Hayden Ernst (694) vs Albert Januarta (796) in the semifinals right now. Januarta is 100 fargo points higher than Hayden, so it would be a good win for Hayden if he can pull it off.
