Team Asia were crowned Reyes Cup champions for the second year in a row, completing a dominant title defence over Team Rest of the World in front of a roaring Manila crowd.

Team Asia moved within touching distance of defending their crown on Day Three, with standout performances from Carlo Biado, Aloysius Yapp, and Duong Quoc Hoang pushing the defending champions to a near-unassailable 9–1 lead over Team Rest of the World.

Team Asia continued their reign of dominance, securing a second consecutive whitewash to take a commanding 7–0 lead over Team Rest of the World. At the heart of the action was 18-year-old AJ ‘Starboy’ Manas, who potted all three winning nine-balls to fire Asia closer to retaining their crown in Manila.

Team Asia made a statement on opening day, storming to a commanding 4–0 lead over the newly formed Team Rest of the World, as debutant AJ “Starboy” Manas delivered a standout performance under the bright lights of the Ninoy Aquino Stadium in Manila.

The stage is officially set for the 2025 LiveSB.io Reyes Cup, following today’s pre-tournament press conference held at Cignal TV Headquarters in Metro Manila — just one day before Team Asia begins their title defence against the newly formed Team Rest of the World.

The LiveSB.io Reyes Cup returns for its second edition at the Ninoy Aquino National Stadium, presented in partnership with Puyat Sports Inc. Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, the world’s finest cueists will once again take to the table in a thrilling four-day showdown.
