Event Preview
First of all, the Champions League is considered a somewhat pointless event, very long, with a £40,000 prize for the champion. Many top players have withdrawn, such as recent Masters winner Kyren Wilson. Another issue is that this event requires paid access to watch the live stream, unlike the Masters which offers free live streaming.
The fifth group has been playing since yesterday through early this morning. Currently, Zhao Xintong has four consecutive wins, Wu Yize has one win and two losses, and Xiao Guodong has one win and three losses.
Today, Zhao Xintong plays two matches, guaranteed to win at least one, with a chance to beat Selby and achieve a six-match winning streak.
Wu Yize has three matches today and could win two. If he beats Neil Robertson, he would have three wins and is very likely to qualify for the semifinals.
Xiao Guodong will play two matches today and might secure one win, but winning both will be difficult. He is unlikely to finish in the top four of the group and may be eliminated. What do you think?
