1st for Ding
Anime.
This is obviously related.
alri, a TOAST to the absolutely epic last few days.
;^)
Exceptional post.
>1st for
>actually 1st
Do the doubters need any more evidence of whose year it is?
While we had our little competition for a Choc Ice and Freddos, it looks like the pro comms people had a little competition to see who could predict the qualifiers. You'll never guess who won

If even anime couldn't beat him, Ding's first WC title is but a formality.
it just HAD to be Prestigious Phil, King of all Sports.
Was he doing a Al Pacino in Heat impression in this photograph?
PHIL FUCKING YATES
As this is a coumfy not-an-actual-match thread then I feel it's quite appropriate for you to post nawty tunes if you feel like doing so

Just when you think Big Hoss can't get any more based
>'Sometimes he’s [Ronnie O'Sullivan] disrespectful, he’s not good for the game.
>‘I think he should retire, to be honest with you. He should retire and then the younger generation make the game bigger.’

>"okay, it’s time to tell him: ‘Retire, man. Retire.’ "
Also, Riggs calling Ronnie a "disgrace."
This is the feud I didn’t know I needed. Big Hoss winning his first world title by beating a seething rpdmey would be excellent.
>qualify for your first Crucible
>immediately call for the perennial crowd favourite to retire
It's a bold strategy from Are Persian Prince
>‘I don’t see any improvement, he’s been 20 years on top of this sport and what has he done for us?’ Vafaei asked. ‘This is my biggest question: What has he done for us?
>‘I am the younger generation, I want to see what he’s done for our sport. Where are the big companies?
>‘In my opinion he should have his own private jet, but he’s coming and complaining about 10 or 15 grand. You’ve been in the situation to make the game bigger, why haven’t you done it? How many contacts you’ve had to bring car companies or Rolex to our sport to make the game bigger?’
Incendiary stuff from The Big Hoss Man!
Holy based. GWAN HOSS
who needs Rolex when you have the prestigious ROKiT
He's got Ronald dead to rights there, Can't wait for the inevitable Hoss vs Rpmmie first round match
I have a feeling our guests that start flooding in on the first day of the WC aren't going to like are Hoss all that much.
The gwanners on twitter are already foaming at the mouth. Nice to see Ronnie getting a taste of his own medicine.
It takes 3 million years for a diamond to shine,
Hoss did it in just 27 x
I really hope Hoss doesn't get Selby, don't think /147/ could cope losing one of them on day 1. Personally praying that the only amateur Michael White gets Shorn so he can steal plenty of food off Shorn's table.
That would be based
Highly disrespectful.
Dreaming of Binging
Big up!
kek. For me, it's gotta be this classic: youtube.com
Mr Rob definitely put this one on while staying at Yan's place.

>this classic
Dubplate killa. Also just clocked the “pot rate” graph on the chart. All round top work by user.
That pics so accurate lel
Pre-draw the bracket is so lopsided, the bottom half of the draw is so much harder. World number 1 Ronnie, best player atm Neil, perennial finalist Riggins, two of the form players of the year in Xintong and Luca.
Good for Our Mark. (and Judd).
20 bings til the draw.
Cracking the kettle...
JOHN FUCKING PARROT

Can't wait to hear him try and pronounce the names of players he's never even heard of before.
He just says the numbers dont he, rob does the names.
