Why is Shane not playing?

Did he not get an invite?

I am boycotting the event if this is the case.

Qatar have disrespected USA by not inviting SVB.

Oi vs Sanjin on now...

 

[SA96]

Anyone know why Shane is not playing?

 

[benjaminwah]

Alnar vs Filler, two of the best players out there, playing right now. Audience is barely there and sitting bored on their phones

But some people say this is a "Major" and Phillipines Open was not a "Major".

Laughable.

The payouts for this are probably way higher than the Philippines Open.

arabic commentary? this outfit has been doing their utmost to minimize viewership since 2010.

at least last year they had the english silver break guy in comms and a promo video of ralf dressed as a sheikh

Why is the Qatar Open 2026 mascot a crab? I had to find out.

I get them wanting Arabic commentary given that they are putting all the money. But it can’t be hard to have two streams - one for the Arabic viewers and one for English.

It's better than listening to people constantly trying to predict what the player is going to do next( why is this still a thing?)

I totally snoozed this event. Just took my first look at the brackets. The field looks very strong. Qatar is one of the most prestigious titles. Not looking for a Cinderella story here.

May the best man win!
