Anime.

This is me when there's a >new thread and I need to post anime, so it's obviously /sp/ related.

>>151764784 (OP)
>Ding, Hawk, and Gnelf all on at the same time
What do?

>>151764800
'irlA

Ronnie barely managed to crawl into the next round with a pathetic 6-5, while Selby absolutely destroyed his opponent 6-5.

As seen in the OP, Bai made the highest break in a ranking ever (f).

Finish the sentence: It's Ding's ____. (Four letters.)

>>151765697
It's Ding's cock?

There's a rooster in Chinese zodiac, but we're talking about the dragon. You're not that far, try again.

Ding?

weren't the morningposters supposed to prevent this?

Cold.

>>151765825
It's Sunday. And there was a post in the early morning. Something must've happened on /sp/, because the thread was dead just a couple of hours after that post.

Very thoughtful.

Nice (re)rack!

>>151766121
Alas, he didn't make it. Typical Barry blorked it in the last second. (And is IN.)

>>151764906
Kewl, but can he do this?

>>151765697
Dong.

And speaking of Ding, did he ever recover from this?

>>151766334
>Kewl, but can he do this?
It's not as easy as it looks, even from a shorter distance and without other balls.

>Dong.
Cold.

>>151766344
Yes. Since then he became the World Champion*.

*Six-red

The Boy ____ __. (Two words, four letters and two letters.)
Hint: the four-letter word is not the same as in the Ding sentence.

Oliver Lines and David Lilley, those top-tier A-listers, will save us. And the ever-popular household name of Kyren Wilson, of course, who I vaguely remember did win something once but I can't remember what.

Nothing at all...

>>151789918
The humidity of Chinese arenas, and its influence on the surface and pockets of the snooker tables, has never fixed a frame or match.

Young Chinese Amateur Wang taking four frames off Shorn lmao he must be seething

>>151788838
Xiao is on a streak

Nah it's weird, there have been four events in China and each one has been a century/maxi fest. They very clearly are trying to "grow the sport" by widening the pockets in foreign events with "untapped markets" to make it attractive to casuals.
