Honestly not trying to be contrary, but I much prefer gritty safety play to breakbuilding. Don't get me wrong, I love some #naughtysnooker, and I appreciate great pots, but when players are just in the zone and ruthlessly clearing the table without ever really losing position (basically optimal snooker that all players are trying to achieve) I find it incredibly boring.

Obviously there's a difference between great safety play and frames getting bogged down cus people keep missing stuff, but I love it either way.

Yev, you're obviously right that lack of centuries is a clear indicator of a lower standard, but I don't really care about that anyway. Give me unfancied randos somehow ending up at the business end of the tournament over Judd and Ronnie and co just smashing everyone.
