World Grand Prix 2020

[Jimmi]

How's your luck?

Not really that bad.
Because one of the bellends will be turfed out straight away.
Likely to be Wattimena

[Jimmi]

Yeah when you want Huybrechts to win 2 games, that's pretty desperate

Didn't even see his name there.
I'll be rooting for Dolan to get to the 1/4 finals then.

The favourite tournament of the History Maker.

Nae Shitlock? Is the qualifying based on the Pro Tour rankings?

16 from main rankings + 16 from Pro Tour

Shitlock is 17th in the oom and was 20th in the pro tour qualifiers. Good riddance imo.

Dunno why I might get a like from Emuls but Dolan Beating Lice would be very funny to me

16 from main rankings + 16 from Pro Tour

Shitlock is 17th in the oom and was 20th in the pro tour qualifiers. Good riddance imo.

First time missing after 10 straight years.

He's in for a big drop on the Main OOM when the 2018 Euro Champs money comes off, but I hope he can hang around the Top 32 for a few more years.

Ok, cheers. Just surprised Dirk Van Divingboard finished above him.

Price looks the value bet

Don't fancy his odds

Gerwyn Price is an easy bet for me. Not that I bet.
MvG is way overpriced. Same with Jeffrey.
Michael Smith should be nowhere near that high. Even if he was 14/1 on reaching the final I wouldn't bet on that in a million years. Same for Cross and a bunch of others.

[Dick]

I’ve had a quid on van Duijvenbode to win the title.

[Randall]

When is this?
I've forgotten
Or never knew

It starts next week Tuesday.

[Randall]

Odd day to start but a sign of the times I guess.

I’ve had a quid on van Duijvenbode to win the title.

If you want a wild shot you may want to consider betting Danny Noppert. He's very good on his doubles and he's very in form, and his draw isn't all too bad. Should be able to reach the semi-finals yet only Searle and van Duijvenbode are higher odds than him.

Odd day to start but a sign of the times I guess.

Odd day to start but a sign of the times I guess.

It was originally 4-10 October I think so I assume it’s to do with the availability of the Ricoh maybe.
