[octaviosd]

we are not that much foosball players anymore that is a sad fact so if you really love foosball love your foosball brothers stop complaining train hard and welcome new players in the end as more players more competition more fun more money its gonna be harder to become world champ but its gonna taste waaaayy better so see you in the next big tournament hope to get a lot of matches specially real matches with any of you guys incluiding you zeke LOL

[octaviosd]

hopefully one day ill play this guys jhughes and fooswizzard im gonna train to beat them but if i loose im not gonna cry like a little baby im just gonna train more untill i beat them but dont worry guys even now that i know youre way better than me im not just gonna let you take 2 seconds more im gonna let you take half hour if you want cause i know that if im really better than the other foosball player in front of me i should beat him anyways

[octaviosd]

thats why the sport is going down today :( foosball is not just about winning is about playing and having fun its sad you think that way im only been playing like 1 and a half year on this kind of tables becasue the ones i learned are really diferent and have no partners near to play but on the last tournamnet i went i beat a lot of the people that mistreat me and thats cause they are so Obsessed to win that theyre not enjoying the game so stop complaying train and have fun

[octaviosd]

what a bad loosers zeke is a really nice guy!! i think the nicest i have met on the tour specially the first time i went to a tournamnet i was like oh i love foosball i want to play a lot and then in ran into a bunch of people who only cares about winning he was the onlyone with a friendly attitude and willing to help and gave me some tips about the foosball world even when he had to play big matches and i was really a beginner

[jimmystale]

where in St. Louis was this tournament held?

[BIGJHUGHESTN]

Any way good playing I will c u in Vegas.Oh by the way I came through the losers bracket not u!!!! LOL

[zekefooser]

I think you misread. I said in the "Pro-am" final that i played at worlds, which is a video i also posted, i came through the losers side and double dipped, but i only showed the last set.

[fooswizzard]

If I was Jamie I would of called a ref that time issue to me was a big factor for zeke for the win. I would like a shot playing you zeke I think the turnout would be much diffent as in if I knew you had a time issue there would of been a ref from the get go. Jamie is a world champ as well so he had just as much chance as anyone.

[zekefooser]

Of course Jamie had as much chance as anyone, he's a bad ass fooser, no one said anything about him not having a shot. Someone made a comment saying they didnt think i had what it took. Also, where are you getting this whole time issue from? I went over on one shot. It's not like every shot i was going over. Final was competitive and fun.

[BIGJHUGHESTN]

ZEKE show the whole video not the part u win but the first set when I win not when u started to lose then cheat me? Your trying to make u look good and me bad show the whole video when I WIN ?And don't say your sorry for cheating me any way it was my fault for not calling a ref ?But every one said u was a good guy now I wonder!!!!!!!!

[zekefooser]

If this is really Jamie then to answer your questions. I usually just post the final set. That's some strong words saying i cheated you. Going over 2 seconds on the time limit on one shot isnt cheating you, it's part of the game when no ref is present. This was the 5th game we were playing if it had been a problem you would have called a ref way before that.

[BIGJHUGHESTN]

Sorry to u to put it that way but I was in the game. And on top of that show the whole video so it don't look so one sided. But couple people said something to me about the video so. So had to let people know u didn't beat me just like i wasn't on the table,and if I offended U. Sorry but we should have called a ref .That's one problem i have. It was for every thing so we should have but oh well I will next time

[zekefooser]

The second set was only 2 games which is what i showed. I mentioned on the description of the video that you won the first set. That went 3 games. On the pro am final video i posted, i came through the losers bracket, but i still only showed just the last set. Takes too long to edit all the videos and so i just do the last set.

[H4M15H]

not too much of a game..

looks a bit like statistics to me.

[andysbrother1]

Well done Zeke,,i did not think you had what it took to beat Jamie,,i play him alot,,good player,,we have learned lots from each other,over time. later Worley

[zekefooser]

Lol. I was the defending world semi singles champ so it's funny that you say you didnt think i had what it took to beat Jamie.

-zeke

[philmacroch]

good match!

i like the 5r duke out between 3:50 and 4:50 and good time to use a time out.

but ur final shot was more then 17s

[zekefooser]

Yea, i forgot whether i had a timeout left or not, so i ended up taking like 17-18 seconds. Sorry Jamie :)

[08nessh]

well done zeke i really love your 5 bar and your snake i just cant decide on what my shot is gonna be

[zekefooser]

It's not making a decision. It's about trying out different shots and seeing which one gives you a better chance of winning. Also, things change one you play in a 3-4 day tournament. The pull shot will strain your arm way more. Best thing to do is to play some tournaments, try shooting different shots, and see which one you like better.

[r7stuart]

Any tips on avoiding strain from the pull shot? I like shooting it a lot, but even after the local tourneys I feel stiff along the top of my forearm.

[yousillybadger]

Nice one! I wish I could try and mimic your 5 bar but its a lot harder to tic-tac like that on garlando, backpinning and brushing is easier. Anyway, good work! :)

[jagiar]

Agreed. ALOT harder to tic-tac tge 5-bar on Garlando.

[pokeryfoosy]

quality diminished

[zekefooser]

You got to it too quickly :) Quality looks better now. It had just uploaded and the quality looked bad, but after a few minutes it looks better. It's a youtube thing.
