@BestOfAudits Hilarious considering you said he was "the worst". What data do you have to back that up? As I thought - nothing. You were exaggerating too. If he was "the worst" as you put it, he certainly wouldn't be reffing world snooker finals and the likes would he. What you meant was "I don't like him because he gets involved in things that aren't his business", whilst ironically getting involved in a comment area you didn't need to. Now, stop throwing your toys out of your pram for strangers on the internet

She was being so sweet. She went to hug him like I’ve watched you all my life and it was a pleasure playing you. Him saying don’t touch me was rude and unprofessional. I’ve lost respect for him for that. He could have done something different. “I’m sorry I’m not in the mood for a hug”. We all know Earl can have an attitude when losing but that was over the top. She beat him hands down on his mistakes.

A spellbinding performance from Seo! In the beginning it seemed as if she didn't really know what she was doing. But then suddenly, as if from nowhere, she began coming up with deadly shots. Once I grew accustomed to her style, I could tell she was extremely measured, calm and graceful. An amazing player! Of course she defeated a legend who was nowhere near his prime - but that takes away nothing from her brilliance.

Seo was by no means wrong for what she did, but running over to hug your opponent after beating them is by no means professional either. People need to stop trying to burn Earl at the stake simply because he didn't want to hug someone that just mopped the floor with him.

okay but let’s be fair here, that is a huge factor at this level. yeah playing position and snookering your opponents/leaving them difficult shots is apart of the game, but that doesn’t mean not getting good shots to take isn’t a good argument for losing. this is why i have always said their is a massive difference between winning a match and beating your opponent. if your opponent didn’t get to go to the table to take their turn very much, and when they did get to go to the table they were snookered practically every time, and you end up winning; you won, but you didn’t beat them. to beat someone means to best them. but running racks until you come to an impossible shot and then you snooker them and say “okay here you go you can have your turn now” knowing fully well they have no way to rebuttal and you will get your turn right back, that isn’t beating them. at that point your opponent is a mere spectator. at this level winning the lag is actually extremely crucial. just simply getting to break for the first rack can LITERALLY determine the entire match. it doesn’t always, but i have seen it happen many times with Filler vs Shaw etc etc. that’s why i personally like alternate break rules. winner breaks is good sometimes, absolutely i like that style as well. but winner breaks doesn’t keep things very fair

But not giving the girl a hug was being a jerk, she ran over to him to get a hug, and he refused, grabbed his case and cues, without even breaking them down, and ran away. While she stood there almost begging him to give her a hug. I actually felt sorry for the girl, because Earl was such a jerk to her. Even if I lost 0-11 to her, I would give her a hug if she wanted one. I know Earl was mad about losing, I have been there myself, many times, but he should have still gave her a hug. He is an older man, just like me, I am 63 years old, and I have a feeling he really hates losing to a woman.

I'm not defending Earl's attitude, but this is nine ball flukes are a huge part of this game. but the fluke was off of a safty that was very hard to hit safe plus he actually hit the que ball to make that fluke, seems like you didn't notice that. it's called a hit and hope and it works as much as it doesn't. Really Seo played amazing defense. But Earl was really unlucky had some really good breaks, Dry yes but good that allowed Seo to run out. and the Carrom off the 7 into the 8 really unlucky for that not to drop. The safty he played in the bottom left hand corner that should have snookered Soe on the 1 ball. stopped in the only place where she could have hit it. yes she scratched but still made it and that's fustrating. I wouldn't say Soe annihilated him, he didn't really miss anything she just had amazing Safety's and put the balls down when she got a chance. I guarantee the score would have been alot different had balls dropped on the break for Earl. but this is the game of Nine ball and the one person who Know's the importance of the break better than anyone is Earl. I just don't like people who say the only reason you won is because _________. which is what you're saying.

Seo played flawlessly!!! She is outstanding!!!! Earl has not lost his skill. Simply put, he was given no opportunity to play. What he has lost (or never had) is the good sense to recognize a warm gesture and respond in kind. Serious fail there Earl. I guess an Earl scorn is a roseless thorn. Sad.

Which is his right, regardless of how anyone feels. The issue is, he is known for b.s. so we all assume the worst. He has also earned that.

She’s amazing to watch. If you want to copy someone’s style, hers is perfect. Would be interesting to see her play snooker with a cue action like that.
1. seo goes to shake his hand, where earl compliments her saying "you play better than me" (you can hear it, turn up the volume). 2. as a result, seo goes from a handshake into a hug for the COMPLIMENT earl just gave her. 3. as the camera pans out, you can hear him joke "you don't want to touch me, i'm bad luck, i got covid too many times". 4. you can see the ref give out a chuckle and look around. then tells her "you played well, don't take it personally" people upset really searching for stuff to be upset.

This is a professional event, not a family outing. Nobody is obligated to hug anyone. I personally would have no issues giving someone a hug, specially if they were a big fan like she obviously is. Seo was by no means wrong for what she did, but running over to hug your opponent after beating them is by no means professional either. People need to stop trying to burn Earl at the stake simply because he didn't want to hug someone that just mopped the floor with him.
That was so disrespectful for Strickland to rebuff her in that way. I can't help to think that his ego was deflated. She is a great pool player and an equally great human being.

This match is already on one of the livestreams. I think he was sincere when he said she is a great player and better than him (currently anyways). She played near perfect in the match against him. Earl probably isn't the touchy/feely kind of guy, and he does seem concerned about COVID still. It would be interesting for someone to set up a match where they play an exhibition against each other, and as teammates. And hopefully Seo Seoa gets her hug.

okay but let’s be fair here, that is a huge factor at this level. yeah playing position and snookering your opponents/leaving them difficult shots is apart of the game, but that doesn’t mean not getting good shots to take isn’t a good argument for losing. this is why i have always said their is a massive difference between winning a match and beating your opponent. if your opponent didn’t get to go to the table to take their turn very much, and when they did get to go to the table they were snookered practically every time, and you end up winning; you won, but you didn’t beat them. to beat someone means to best them. but running racks until you come to an impossible shot and then you snooker them and say “okay here you go you can have your turn now” knowing fully well they have no way to rebuttal and you will get your turn right back, that isn’t beating them. at that point your opponent is a mere spectator. at this level winning the lag is actually extremely crucial. just simply getting to break for the first rack can LITERALLY determine the entire match. it doesn’t always, but i have seen it happen many times with Filler vs Shaw etc etc. that’s why i personally like alternate break rules. winner breaks is good sometimes, absolutely i like that style as well. but winner breaks doesn’t keep things very fair
great play by Seo... earl has always been like this "bad sportsmanship" & it hasn't been really called out. legends don't do that
Lol the way he acted. He was probably sour that she dominated him. I'd still give her a long big hug even if I lost 0-20 to her
I am happy for Seo and a little embarrassed for Earl. She had a few favorable rolls but overall, played well. She took advantage of every opportunity she was given. Earl hasn’t changed much and could have shown a little class. Damn, the young lady was just trying to be nice about beating you. I’ve always enjoyed watching Earl but he didn’t need to do that. I think even Jason was embarrassed for him.

I have played pool for 35 years, and I love Earl, I play my game based on his style, and it has won me a lot of tournaments, I even have him as a friend on my facebook page. But not giving the girl a hug was being a jerk, she ran over to him to get a hug, and he refused, grabbed his case and cues, without even breaking them down, and ran away. While she stood there almost begging him to give her a hug. I actually felt sorry for the girl, because Earl was such a jerk to her. Even if I lost 0-11 to her, I would give her a hug if she wanted one. I know Earl was mad about losing, I have been there myself, many times, but he should have still gave her a hug. He is an older man, just like me, I am 63 years old, and I have a feeling he really hates losing to a woman.

I'm not defending Earl's attitude, but this is nine ball flukes are a huge part of this game. but the fluke was off of a safty that was very hard to hit safe plus he actually hit the que ball to make that fluke, seems like you didn't notice that. it's called a hit and hope and it works as much as it doesn't. Really Seo played amazing defense. But Earl was really unlucky had some really good breaks, Dry yes but good that allowed Seo to run out. and the Carrom off the 7 into the 8 really unlucky for that not to drop. The safty he played in the bottom left hand corner that should have snookered Soe on the 1 ball. stopped in the only place where she could have hit it. yes she scratched but still made it and that's fustrating. I wouldn't say Soe annihilated him, he didn't really miss anything she just had amazing Safety's and put the balls down when she got a chance. I guarantee the score would have been alot different had balls dropped on the break for Earl. but this is the game of Nine ball and the one person who Know's the importance of the break better than anyone is Earl. I just don't like people who say the only reason you won is because _________. which is what you're saying.
I'm pretty sure Strickland was so confident that he would win this match, that's why he was so devastated he lost, not only lost it was a massacre.(5-1)!
The sub-atomic particle level shooter, Seo Seoa!
She really shoots good. Anyone who doesn't miss, is hard to beat.
If Earl had even an average competitive mind with his physical talent, he would've been the greatest pool player in history. He never grew and, consequently, maintains the emotional stability of an 8-year-old. He let his ego handcuff his unbelievable talent.
People on the internet say that Earl is a sore looser, and looks like he just confirmed internet talks. 😂
I've never heard of or seen Seo Seoa but I will say she is a very strong shooter, steady and smooth. A pleasure to watch her.
She plays so beautifully, precise and calculated. I think she's a robot :-)
