love Kaci, no rude, no impolite, no Yelling, and so humble..... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@AngrierGorilla]

thought the same, no hysterical celebration, no cringe shouting.. just pure class and elegance. Not to mention his perfect technique and top-notch safety play. Honestly my favourite player under various aspects.

[@cakins1986]

So humble he got "Perfection" tattooed on his neck 🤣

[@letusdebatenow]

​@@cakins1986 that doesn't necessarily mean that he's saying anything about himself. Could mean that he's saying perfection is something to strive for 💁 But go ahead and talk your little shit

[@Crazeyfor67]

@@cakins1986 I think his tattoo means that’s what he’s shooting for in his pool game.

[@seniorrider9337]

Must be something to being polite, calm, and humble. Remind anyone of a past champion that acted that way. Yep, The Magician, Efren Reyes! So cool, calm, and humble! Be looking for KaCi to repeat in the future.

[@joggeko]

Kaci is a old soul in pool. Come and humble guy. Big respect. Congrats From Norway :)

[@reynaldoydio8408]

Eklent Kaci really deserves to be a champion! You can’t hate this man, he’s so cool and I think he’s the most humble pool player in today’s generation. I would dub him as the “Silent Killer” in world pool. Congrats champion! 🙌

[@SneakyThew]

agreed… calm, cool & humble!

[@steveclapper5424]

His use of the jump stick is among the best I've seen.

[@AznJsn82091]

That’s the way to celebrate! No obnoxious yelling, no jumping onto the table. Just a simple handshake to the opponent and bows to the audience!

[@Crazeyfor67]

Well said. I think he showed class not climbing on the table and rubbing it in. Real class. But honestly I didn't think he would ruin all the hope and talk about FSR winning all 3 titles of 8 ball, 9 ball and 10 ball. He had most of the pool world against him because people love history making stories. He showed so much heart coming back from 5 to 1 down. Congratulations to Eclent Kaci!

[@manuelmartinez7988]

First time I watched a game of Kaçi. What a great player he is. Has a tremendous defensive game, which led him to the 🏆.

[@stvcolwill]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for airing this so that we can watch this tournament!!

Eklent "Stone Cold" Kaçi. Congratulations! You teach us to stay focused, play smart, & never give up!

Eklect kaci you were so strong mentally so damn strong...trailing 5 - 1... fsr missed the 3 ball n still got the roll..you were hooked..i couldnt imagine wat was going through your head but you showed positive energy and re safed him..this took some doing..congrats bro ..i knew from there you were going to win tbh.enjoy your sweet victory..well deserved

[@kevincarrier9977]

Favorite moment of the match.......when Kristina said, "Tittie"!!!!! and then giggled immediately after. She is sooo adorable and was cute to see her in such a candid moment and laugh it off. Also, great skillards by 2 world class players and the humilty of a true gerntleman in a winning moment was great to see. Congrats Kaci

[@emmanuelgalon6056]

Congrats Eklent, you have a heart of a champion. Stay as humble as you are, you'll be winning more major tournaments in the near future.

[@audiosounddoctor5834]

Great my brother...big thnx from Kosova!

[@Krushard]

I like how Kaci didn't care about all the breaking from the side theories, smashed it full in the face and it paid off.

[@AznJsn82091]

That’s my style of play

[@cakins1986]

He's got a monster 10 ball break, probably best in the world right now.

[@donkeydiehard879]

One day it will work out, one day you'll have to push out 9 out of 10 times. Today was definitely his day

[@frankmars5904]

[@StevenPG72]

Hell yeah, so glad KaÇi won. I can't believe his composure and patience under that pressure. I'm glad the better player won. KaÇi is definitely kryptonite for the arrogant Filler.

[@GedEmJ]

I like how KaCi plays ... he takes chances and he's really good at playing safety ... but the fact that he takes chances hitting angles that even FSR sometimes fears playing ... even SVB ... makes KaCi quite a formidable player 🔥

[@smallsixth]

Klenti, thank you very much for not allowing any of your two last opponents to show their arrogance and celebrate by jumping on that innocent table, if they would have won it. Your last one already wanted to step on your 1st place during the ceremony, which I found at least a bad joke. It was beautiful to see, the way you did show your happiness after winning the title. Well done Champ.

I am becoming a fan of KaCt I call him THE GORILLA -- he is a cueist I admire -- someone to cheer for. I will check out his other games may even bet on his winning at times, yeah he is an adept cueist alright. he reminds me of a Gorilla so that will be my nickname for him. It suits him he looks quite strong, big too, fine looking head of hair a tad short though. I REALLY DIG HIS GAME PLAY & he can pot balls as good as anyone these days.
