Just recently found your channel so happy I did. Great job showing the great Efren’s talent. You also make me laugh with the edited clips of great facial expressions that just crack me up. This channel is equivalent to what we call a “Homer” a local Baseball announcer, always behind the home team. If you’re a fan of Efren you are in the right place.
I had the honor and luck to play Efren 1 time. I couldn't get a single ball in. Once he took his turn he kept running out the racks. I wasn't even mad, I was astounded by his shots. Truly a magician.
I know exactly how Mika Felt. Efren came to Connecticut during his Farewell Tour and played against a bunch of us here. I got to break first. Made a ball and then made two balls after that. Missed a shot barely and it was all over from there. Never got off my chair for the rest of our match until it was time to shake the mans hand.
@@junmayrina1517 I'm sure there's a pic somewhere. There was a crowd just taking pics the whole time. I was just so excited to even be in the same room. I did take pics though, just wish I thought of handing someone my phone to record the match.
Nowadays, the man is just chilling near the Airforce base in Pampanga. He's retired but still plays pick up games with fellow locals. From what I heard, he's teaching kids how to play. Man's a legend.
10:35 Pocketing the 3-ball on the side pocket was the lucky part, but the kick itself isn't. This is why some people call luck a skill. Sure, you needed luck to pocket that ball, but you needed the skill to kick that ball to even get a chance to pocket it in the first place. As the announcers said, Efren earned that luck.
Heck man i love the way you put that. Best way to explain people, athletes, gamblers, anybody. The skill to put yourself ahead in the lucky pool drastically boosts your probability of being lucky and lowers the bad luck. In that way, being lucky might not be a skill, but making the odds tip so much that its likely you will be definitely is. Very cool.
"Between his sweet smiles and humble gestures, Efren Reyes is ruthless and unforgiving when he plays seriously at the table" Best quote, you nail his character exactly
Khit kylan ND nging atleta c Pacquiaosa purong sugal lng xa sa boxing nktutok at ND naglaro bilamg atleta NG bansa. Di Efren Reyes khit matanda na sumali prin at pra mkpgbigay NG krangalan sa bansa. C pacquiao khit bronze WLA xang naibigay. Yan Ang realidad.
I would make the case that some of his best shots came from imperfect situations - the Z kick is the classic example of a critical error, but his imagination created such memorable escapes. Nobody thinks of ways out the way Efren does.
Self Respect to not get lost in the glory of international fame and insist on "Bata" to remain humble to previous Champion Efren Reyes of the same name, this is the definition of pure greatness.
I finally got my pool table setup and have been watching your videos all week. I'm no pro but watching these allowed me to think of shots I normally wouldn't in sticky situations and to my and my wifes surprise I made some decent shots.
Can't believe after taking up the sport/hobbie today and getting on here, I'd just herd of this guy??? Wow... natural talent that no about of practice can produce.
Hindi ako fan about jaan sa POOL na Yan. Pero nakakatuwa Lang isipin na natapos kong panoorin yung ganitong Laban..and I truly amazed with him, hopefully he teach, train for the younger generation gamers of POOL, it's so cool, amazing, I proud as a 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Earl Strikland understand that when you play against Reyes the best thing to do is to enjoy the show and do your best when he gives you a chance to get up from your chair. That is why Strikland is my second favorite pool player. Ronnie O'Sullivan is the best at snooker game
Most of these people are Filipino. They idolize him. Pretty much that's all they have. Although Efren was a great player I've watched plenty of his matches where he lost. He would screw up easy shots and make a lot of slop shots. He would get himself in bad shots situations and pull himself out with good kicks or safeties. Definitely top 5 players but perfect or best? Not really.
@@mlucas7837 hey im Filipino too. He is the GOAT as agreed by even the top best players in the world. All I'm saying was that how Mika was portrayed her was a bit dirty. I mean its all fun but really cmon. He aint a bad player, efren was just really good. He got 0-7 cuz it was a bad day for him and efren was playing perfectly this match.
@@ipo7596 what you see on TH-cam does not reflect what you see at the pool halls. He shoots a lot of slop shots (fluke) more than probably any other top pro. And while I'm not denying that he is one of the greatest I and many people would disagree that he is the greatest. I've watched him live many times and even played with him once in an exhibition match.
Good commentary so far, you must have more than adequate knowledge of the pool; Efren "Bata" low key and "smiling" demeanor hides a ruthless skill in every game. I feel for Mika, but that is life. Efren was not lucky (as Pearl Strickland would gloat) he played his game above par, almost always all the time.
Fantastic! Since i have seen lot's of your game i never stopped watching . Your really are a legend Pinoy pride. Watching from Cebu City Philippines❤❤❤
That "On Top Of The World." winner dance of Efren's in a compilation of his glee, I'd like to see too. Nice vid, nice channel to the Statue Worthy Cue Artist Efren Reyes, TY
I haven't seen it said much here... Credit to Mika for taking in on the chin, and then credit especially for being 28... Playing an absolute legend... And even the guy in the finals won a single game... Probably made him feel A BIT better...
Please check this very significant point on the last game. Efren pinpointed exactly where the ball is going to stop forcing Mika into a foul shot ending up 7 -0. Not sure if it was captured here but I saw it in the complete vid. After playing Efren before he told me how he watched ‘lucky shots’ and thru his pictographic memory recalls and practice to make them look lucky 🤣🤣🤣. It wasn’t captured on 15:50 it wasn’t added though.
First shot is that Missed and went to some other pocket is What Earned Efren the Magician instead of Lucky. He has other games that when missed, the ball would still find another pocket and he'll win the match. Lucky ... And Blessed !
A real treat would be to see ER attempting shots that HE put others in when he kicked for a safety or otherwise snookered his opposition. now THAT would have been a clinic of the ages to see.
Two days ago I didn’t know who Effren Reyes was, it’s been two days since i haven’t watched anything else on TH-cam except Effren “The god” “The magician” Reyes! What a genius😮😲😱

Going up againts the GOAT is is an achievement itself,,.. might as well took a lot of picture as souvenier

What year was this?
Just the like the other guy said, going up against Efren is already a damn achievement.
How you feel when shaking efren's hand?
Nowadays, the man is just chilling near the Airforce base in Pampanga.
He's retired but still plays pick up games with fellow locals. From what I heard, he's teaching kids how to play.
Man's a legend.
He has a super human ability. His skills are extra ordinary
that is an amazing observation!

Luck is when skill and opportunity come together
@@flyingby3703 i agree with this.. there's no luck without skill, knowledge and opportunity..
As the great Gary Player once said - "the more I practice the luckier I get".
I watched this match, and Efren did not miss one shot. GOAT.
Missed one at 15:40

Say what you want. With this kinda talent, you can't deny the guy the title. THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST OF ALL TIME!

A genuine champion in every definition of the word. Real easy to like this guy.
Everybody gangsta until Efren steps in.
Efren be like- Imma end this man's whole career! 🤣
He didn't cry after all that?
You got my respect 👊👊.
Dude I'm pretty sure he was... Inside
😢

Bruh he could be 98 years old and i could see him kick ass in tournaments like this
This dude is truly the magician.
Yuh he is!
Mika at only 28 is already playing the goat. Much respect to him

EFREN BATA REYES ..
Ok
He is not holding a cue stick, he is holding a wand.
Hahaha..very true bro
When you give Efren control the table, he does not give you a lot of chances to comeback.
The iceman made a huge mistakes 😂
The Iceman melted here.
I like that fact he mentioned breaking is not about power but fundamentals and, all this time I was relying on power to break. Good lesson
I would love to get lessons from him I’m a beginner and do it for the love of the game
You need power too...
People would argue that Bustamante is better at breaking simply because of his overwhelming power to break.
Truly the greatest of all time😲
Love to watch Efren Reyes, he really hit the balls. Good job.
This is the level of honest and serious player
Can't believe after taking up the sport/hobbie today and getting on here, I'd just herd of this guy??? Wow... natural talent that no about of practice can produce.

Why the music gone sad when the camera shoting mika
Haha
Hhb
Why? Have you looked at his face? Cause he always looks sad.
That shit is hilarious😂
Do any of you guys know what's the song?😂
Do any of you guys know what's the song?😂
Speaking only for myself. I'd be proud as can be just to be seen as good enough to play in the same building with Efren Reyes.
I can't be a pool player I'm easy to get nervous and I'm gonna suffer hearth attack😅
I took a shot everytime you said "Efren Reyes" and now I'm dead of alcohol poisoning.
The wifi in heaven must be really good.
Thats why they make alternate break cuz efren will make you cry 😂😂😂
I was a pretty good pool player in my days but when it comes to the best there's ever been it's obviously Efren Reyes
Playing against Efren, be sure to have a comfortable chair because most of the time you will sit on it.
Hahaha
Lol

He laughed like a child, to make people also laigh at him 🤣🤣
Hye uncle Efren im your fan from Malaysia..ure a great pool player..sad for mika..
Efren is just humble...humble to the ground...
Earl Strikland understand that when you play against Reyes the best thing to do is to enjoy the show and do your best when he gives you a chance to get up from your chair. That is why Strikland is my second favorite pool player. Ronnie O'Sullivan is the best at snooker game

until know he was sitting infront of his poolpocket thinking how efren to make a badshot 🤣

Mika : Display 😂

Efren The Legend 😊👍
Magician my AZZ- Man don't do No Tricks!
He's the OG Pool Wizard! Just straight Up Raw on the Billiard Table
Mika is a lucky guy, a lot of tales to tell to his grandchildren ... not many players lose 0 x 7 .
And those are the best in pool, just sitting and watching the goat.
I had played pool before and honestly it needs total focus and good strategies. Probably too easy to look at but super hard to play with.
It's sad these professionals with all the awards and accolades and the magician still can beat them!
never paid attention to pool. This guy Efren is entertaining to watch. His humble demeanor makes me continually routing for Him
Erfan Is The Best One We Love Him From Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Thats why hes called iceman, because his just being 'chill' sitting and waiting on the chair
you are right...the true meaning of iceman.lol..

The event commentators and this You tube narrator are giving me vibes lol...I love this game from start to finish.
It's really not natural how incredible this guy can play a game of pool. My respects 🙏🏽
It is supernatural.
Mika was clearly demoralized as he was sitting helpless on the chair while Efren was putting on a billiards clinic.
Did i heard it right, he won this Derby Classics 14 times? Wow!!!
Salute Efren "BATA" Reyes!💞🇵🇭
Fantastic! Since i have seen lot's of your game i never stopped watching . Your really are a legend Pinoy pride. Watching from Cebu City Philippines❤❤❤
I envy Mika, he has the best seat to watch Efren play😁😁😁
Atleast he learned a lot while waiting for his turn. Right? Thanks for watching.
Amaizing Efren Reyes...real Legend 👍👍👍
the sad background music makes me laugh
Me too Hahahaha can't stop laughing everytime I see the disappointment in his face, also seeing his video crying😂
Facts lmao
That feeling Is like someone taken your girl and you can't do shit about it.

What the name music guys ?
Efren "Bata" Reyes is the greatest pool players in the world. He has good angles calculation of the table...So, master the table! God bless, Efren@
The funniest thing is the man with the grey shirt behind him sitting with the gap 12:08
