World 10-ball

The way this commentator pronounces Francisco is bugging me. “Fran-see-sco”

FSR just played perfect in the last half of his match against Alex.

 

[skogstokig]

FSR can do the triple for sure. it's sick!

Fedor vs Hoang on another channel. Commentary in Vietnamese. I'm watching this one!

Fedor just won

Interestingly the commentators were complaining that they didn’t have a female co-commentator!

I wonder if they were there in person commentating, or remotely from their home country using the stream. I kind of think remotely, as I couldn't hear the sounds of the game.

Well, I believe George is a Latin Spanish speaker, so it’s close. Sanchez Ruiz speaks Castilian Spanish, so his name is closer to :

frän THĒ skō

With a very super subtle soft ‘th’ sound. The ‘z ‘ at the end of Sanchez and Ruiz are also that same soft ‘th.’

Last 16 as of now.

Wow, I just realized you can resize pictures when placing them in a post, by dragging their corners.

This is shaping up to be an epic final 16, with SVB, FSR, Little Ko, Filler, JL Chang, and Gorst all in the hunt.

 

[Atorontopoolplayer]

yep probably poolitics with JJ. he used to commentate CSI events before they partnered with predator. the best commentator imo

I wonder if the matchroom commentators are exclusive now with so many tournaments? Tough to get from this Vegas 10 ball to the premier league pool etc

As of now:

I doubt it. I bet it was just logistics and availably. Not any sort of exclusivity agreement. I kind of think all the promoters have a hard time getting people to be commentators. Pool players are the most individual people I know. Once you tell a pool player "you have to be with me only" they will tell you to go pound sand. IMO

Fascinating match so far between Chang and FSR. FSR came out on fire and went up 5-2, but Chang has methodically clawed his way back to tie it at 5-5. It will be interesting to see if either player can wrest control of the match from here.

Interesting that you left out former World 10-ball Champion Kaci.

And he may be playing Shane in the next round, so I hope I didn't annoy the pool gods with my omission.

 

[PoolBum]

Chang is faltering down the stretch, 9-7 FSR.

Yeah, Chang making some very uncharacteristic errors.

 

[PoolBum]

Chang still alive, 9-8.

 

[Thecoats]

I think the Ref has been studying Joe Tuckers Racking Secrets videos. LOL

 

[PoolBum]

On the way to hill-hill, Chang gets out of line and gets hooked behind the 10 after shooting the 6. He jumps but misses the 7, leaves a shot. FSR runs out to take it 10-8. Chang had his chances but couldn't capitalize.
