Liu Xibo

Walnut Creek, CA

Liu Xibo duly took the top prize of the tournament. However, more I see him the more I get get frustrated. While on one hand, his shot making is clearly unmatched by any player at least in the Bay Area, but his inconsistency is very-very annoying. When he connects well, even an avid blocker like Jiaqi does not quite stand a chance but he is also prone to missing 60% to 70% of his shots for an elongated period of time - exactly what he did against Jiaqi after leading 3 games to 1 and 6-1 in the 5th game. He ended up losing the match 3 games to 4. Most of the games Xibo loses are because of his unforced errors rather than his opponents winning them. All these make him very unpredictable and at times frustrating to watch.
