NO but if Chen had lost, at least a few would have said her Fargo was overrated. No one said that about Alcaide.

Here's my take on Siming.
She plays perfect, just about as often as any player her speed is supposed to play perfect. The main difference is that she doesn't seem to be affected in those rare occurrences she makes a mistake.
Take the 2 big mistakes against Ellerman.
1. Miscue on the 8 in one rack.
2. Bad shape on the 9 in another, which caused her to miss a very thin cut down the rail.
She didn't seem to be rattled by either and was just business as usual at her next opportunity. Now image if most other players made those mistakes. Pretty sure most would go to their chair and slouch and look miserable. I just don't see that in her, and that's why I think she has a good chance to make a run.

Agree. The stream has been awesome. I'm glad one of my kids let me use their Facebook account. Matchroom has done a great job here...except for that trophy. It is UGLY as hell.
I agree with everything except I like the single elimination final 64 I think it's a tougher road in the end ,, , they have done a good job I'd like to see viewership in the final 16 because as of now it's nothing impressive, Roys Basement gets what we have seen so far

they say it'll be in a different arena. i'm guessing to allow more spectators? it'll be interesting to see how many are in attendance
Not back to back to back like this. But I get what you're saying. The next couple or rounds will be fun .
The more Asian and Fillapino in the end the better for the stream numbers,, no one else really cares that much ,

Great interview by Mitch after the Alcaide match, I believe he may have gained a few new fans after that.

A Taiwanese or Chinese to win this one.
Sweet 16..
This event definitely has the feel of a world nine ball championship. The elite internationals have shown up in a big way and it has brought this event to a level once unimaginable.
So far, so good, but there's a lot of pool left to be played. The last sixteen standing are sure to consist of a who's who of pool.
It is hard to choose among the matches -- too many good ones simultaneously.
My main viewing complaint is that the seats are not elevated except for the seats around the streaming table. It's really hard to see positions when your head is almost even with the bed of the table.
