Just start without a ball and have your intake ready to grab the ball as soon as the match starts. 1678 has to drop their ball first, so it would be relatively straightforward to beat them to the center ball.

There are more complicated 2-ball autos that could avoid being blocked, but considering we went through week 1 without any 2-balls at all, we probably won't see hardly any two ball routines more advanced than 1678's.
