Francisco Sanchez-Ruiz vs Fedor Gorst ▸ 2022 Predator World 8-Ball Championship

[@whipy9203]

It's such a breath of fresh air to finally hear 2 commentators who are also players! The way they analyze the layout after the break and share ideas with each other is very instructive for amateur players like myself, and very entertaining to listen to. A million times better than the Phil Yates type of commentators who have nothing valuable to contribute to the conversation.

[@physicsguybrian]

Except too much talking. They don't need to be perpetually speaking. Always trying to call the shots is more ego stroking than useful. We have eyes, so let us watch what the players do then add some commentary when its most needed. Else everything they say becomes noise.

[@fedup7416]

Oh well, different strokes for different folks.

[@thelastowitch]

@@physicsguybrian yeah, god, how much they're talking, it's so annoying

[@ezekiel763]

Nah- Yates and Jeremy Jones the best.

[@elmerwilliamson1970]

Stop trying to guess what every next shot is! So annoying!!

[@shannonmcstormy5021]

I love the Announcer with the Spanish accent. Really nice voice, explains everything. You can tell he is a teacher.

[@VIProfessor]

That's Tony Robles, and he is a great teacher and player! Can personally attest.

[@santocarbone1130]

So many commercials spoil continuous watching. Makes people go to the finish early.

[@ianmastrangelo2427]

Definitely gained a lot of respect for FSR's talent watching this 8 ball tournament. Some rotation players struggle a bit with 8 ball but he shows some amazing strategy throughout this tournament in addition to just raw firepower. Well done amigo!! Fedor had no love on the breaks, his 8 ball game is super solid but if you don't get to shoot, you can't win.

[@AlexZander688]

Are the Balls being racked a little bit higher than the head spot? Looks like the head ball is about 1/2 a ball higher than the middle diamond.

[@samilsa9809]

Read your second sentence and think about it.

[@PokeDex10]

It blows my mind when the cue is rolling sometimes it looks like it's flying and just stops perfect on the next ball

[@omgahandlelol]

when ever i watch these tournaments, it takes my brain a second to reorient to the ball color scheme

[@faggianogeuiseppi5135]

What cue is fsr using

[@animulovers3881]

Commentator always guesiing😅 FSR is tye best congrats to him

[@nickp4872]

One more match that proves that pool is also a game of chances at this level. You get lucky on the break or not.

[@jaseyarm]

Too many adverts!!!!

[@frederiquerijsdijk]

Where can I find the 8-and-out from Fedor? Edit: found it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q2TVpoSCh9Jopdk

[@suewoo5]

Thank u

[@II_RAUL_II]

Me sabe decir alguien el modelo de la mesa?

[@faggianogeuiseppi5135]

That Roy Jones Jr fight was fire

[@gtrmusic69]

That commentator with the accent talks too much and always interrupts, speaks highly of himself, almost never lets the other person finish. Best to turn off the audio.

[@Arthur-nr5ci]

Don't agree at all. Tony does the lion's share of the talking, he asks Tim often for his opinion before Tim responds, they have a good dynamic.

[@SpaceboyBilliards]

@@Arthur-nr5ci Tim has a habit of never making or laughing at a joke in many commentaries

[@faggianogeuiseppi5135]

It’s the volunteer commentary

[@irkhammaulana5015]

too much talk the comentator. who you are lol

[@yes2crypto]

Good commentating

[@lynnwhal6190]

Ruiz! good fake out on the 10 ball (22:40)min., since u prob. not get out going 12 ball 1st & open up 4-5 for Gorst! REALLY no one else thot this? Gorst did, & expressed it with next shot; but ended with a scratch... he would never hit a simple break out shot that hard... But still a ballsy move to give up the table to let FG break'em out. :), FS-Ruiz pulled a Tom Cruise but won!

[@homerogarcia9373]

Para que narra y escribe. Si con oir y ver el juego ya es suficiente. Graciss.

[@ezekiel763]

I heard he’s a nice guy- but fsr kind of gets on my nerves to watch. Great player- just.... seems cocky.

[@keyvangoodarzi7629]

Vorst could win if hé had good breaks

[@shannonmcstormy5021]

It's truly amazing what (relatively speaking) minor changes to the table makes. I break better than these guys; more consistently pot balls on the break in 8-Ball on 9' tables. But the designed-to-be-tough tables these guys are playing on mean that even though (obviously) these guys are orders of magnitude better than me in every way, because of the tables, the results are different. I would hate to play on these tables.

[@doom9863]

Other then having your hand on the rail, I don’t see the benefit from breaking from the side in 8/10 ball. But hey these guys have the credentials and I don’t so the definitely know something I don’t.

[@Admin-vo9nh]

Расстроил Федор

[@WayysWorld]

Tony the Talker eh? My God I'm only 3 racks in and already on mute ffs

[@mikea5205]

@Too Whom Much Is Given Much Is Required - That makes 3 of us. Rambling Robles is absolutely awful. 10 seconds in and it was on mute.

[@thelastowitch]

Same here, really can't stand thier continues talking. Calling EVERY. SINGLE. SHOT. that's really annoying

[@yes2crypto]

I love the commentating and color they bring

[@goranwesterdahl1657]

Absolute garbage commentators

[@Jack-rg6xf]

Worst commentators ever! They think they have to talk all the time. Had to watch on mute, and finally just left.

[@richyb3365]

One of the commentators is one of the best pool players on this planet currently cmon guys lol

[@TSGOrgan]

The commentary is dreadful. It’s like they only exist to challenge each other and Tony never shuts up. Just chill a bit man. Don’t need 49752792948733 words per minute: second by second second guessing. Gets old very fast.

[@TSGOrgan]

Anybody actually watching this content knows pool outs and doesn’t need the constant barrage of incorrect information. We don’t really care how you’d go out, Tony. Just let us watch the matches and provide tournament updates or interesting tidbits. Too much babble about outs.

[@WayysWorld]

@@richyb3365 He should stick to playing instead of commentating. I don't care what he would do every shot, I'm trying to watch these guys play not hear his plan.

[@organizedchaosmark]

@@richyb3365 You can’t be referring to Tony Robles? He is not one of the best pool players currently… maybe 15+ years ago, but definitely not today.

[@antoniohysell8077]

They are commentators lol that’s what they do! Talk lol

[@thang8617]

Where's his flag?

[@ruskyhrahsel7723]

Russia is banned to use their flag in any international tournament in any sports because of doping. They are represented as ROA (Russian Olympic Association).

[@jdcanada2604]

In the place where Gorst's flag would normally be, it is white.. Being from Russia, I wonder at who"s insistance that was.

[@TSGOrgan]

I thought the same thing…

[@Krushard]

Being from Russia, by this time you should probably know why everybody wants to take a shit on your flag. И не примазывайся к Федору, ложить он на тебя и на твою рашу хотел, иначе не уехал бы в Америку.

[@justinmontemayor310]

It’s the tournaments. They are making all Russian and Belarus players play as Independents

[@cosmicraysshotsintothelight]

The announcer should go look at some of my shots talking about shooting hard and still stopping the cue ball. Click my nym. I shoot bank shots.

[@cosmicraysshotsintothelight]

That 'drag the cue ball against the rail' is the most stupid thing I have ever seen ANY pool player do. It does NOT "clean the ball" and the rules state that you are not allowed to do so. So here is why it does NOT clean the ball. The ball sits on a SPOT called the tangency point. Dragging it on the rail will only "clean" a single linear stripe and a very thin one at that. And I think it is not even legal for a player to clean the cue ball, and he must ask the referee to do it, even in ball in hand situations.

[@suewoo5]

Another moronic comment from captain burger boi. Most times ppl do this they are SPOT cleaning. Meaning they see a smudge of dirt or chalk and wipe it off with the rail. You def a bit slow

[@EdMrEasy]

lmao

[@cosmicraysshotsintothelight]

He (Gorst) lifts his leg up in the air when he breaks. WTF is that. And it looks funny... gay even. Did he learn from De Luna? Also, that can't be very consistent. And I just watched De Luna do 4 dry breaks in a row.

[@suewoo5]

Its gay? How does lifting your leg make you gay? Do you know what the word gay means? You a little bit stupid? Just trolling? Burger

[@lynnwhal6190]

momentum and balance

[@cosmicraysshotsintothelight]

@@lynnwhal6190 Bullshit and horseshit.

[@organizedchaosmark]

Why don’t you call up Fedor and see if you can give him some lessons in breaking? I’m sure that you know way more than he does…

[@cosmicraysshotsintothelight]

@@organizedchaosmark Lessons? All I did was describe what it looks like. Apparently, you wouldn't know what organized chaos was if it bit you in the ass, much less inertial physics. Organize your brain, child. Looks like entropy is setting in early for you.
