He was watching what the rest of the dudes were. A very attractive Kristina giving Mika fits! It was glorious to watch. That scratch on the 9 hurt my feelings for her... She was about to pull it off!
 
I wish they would use FF or F instead of 0 when it is a forfeit, so we could distinguish between a forfeit and a match played with a zero score.
Matchroom partner PRP probably still tweaking their scoring software. MR was using cuescore before and the digitalpool then stopped. Should have stuck with cuescore. They are the best in this microniche

Mika looked as if he was gonna explode the whole match. Zlateva should've dodged his hug. 😑
 
Her match yesterday with Styer (also often slow) took a bit over 2 ¼ hours for the 16 games.

that's just not ok on a TV table. i respect that there are different playing styles but as long as there's no shot clock, slow players should be on the outside tables
 
Mika almost lost to another low level lady pro.
Guy was talking to himself in the 3rd rack.

Some of these male pros aren't that good anymore....and should just step aside. There's easier ways to make a living.

Been a few upsets.
The Aranas match was just painful to watch.

Not going to get any new fans putting that sort of match on.....not to mention a 4am start time in the good old USA

Mika is still capable of playing very well. Didn't he reach the finals of a big tournament not long ago?
 
Really - he played in the senior division? That seems quite unfair!
I'm not talking about the bar table eight ball events at Super Billiards Expo but the senior event on the nine footers. As was the case when Mizerak had his senior tour, a senior means over 50. Mika is, indeed, a senior.
 
Is Kaci's little brother slow? I didn't watch. I wonder if that runs in the family:)
One of his matches is in today's YouTube stream/post from Matchroom Multi Sport. Didn't seem as slow as Eklent used to be. The tables are making a lot of players look like 5s. Soufi looked really bad for much of his 9-5 loss to Kaci the Younger. About 2 hours into this:

 
klenti is slower. but there's no doubt about them being brothers, they have the same gait, lumbering around the table
Are you reading me on Facebook? Those are my words exactly, dag nab it. :cool:

Kledio does have the exact same tableside demeanor as his older brother, Eklent. It was interesting to hear in an interview after their matches, which both occurred at the exact same time, that his teenager brother is in school for music. He plays the piano and some instrument that Eklent did not know the English word for, though Eklent speaks fluent English to my hear, with almost no accent. He did all the talking in the interview, which made me think his younger brother may not speak English as well as Eklent, but they sure do play pool alike.

When Eklent first came on the pool scene at 18 years old, he rose to the top, coming in the semifinals in the 2017 World Pool 9-ball Championship won by Carlo Biado, if memory serves me right. He was the talk of the pool world. Everybody bitched and moaned about how slow he played, which he does not play that slow anymore. He's 24 now and is looking to be the new sheriff in town when it comes to pool. Interesting that he's donning the Predator logo on his shirt competing in this event by Matchroom who is now partners with Cuetec.
