Wow, Neils has *really* acquired a strong understanding of what it takes to win at the highest level quite quickly! His match with Efren was the best I saw. He had chances to win against Alex in the finals. His cue ball control and grinding/patience stood out.
Shaw's semifinal game effort against Neils was one of the dumbest, laziest performances I've seen in late round action. One game he sold out three times with three extremely ill-advised, overaggressive shots. He seemed to have a lackadaisacal attitude and I can see others' point that he needs to mature a bit. Perhaps he was happy just getting deep as he will definitely be in contention with Alex for the All-Around.
