In the world of billiards, there are matches that only happen once in a lifetime – confrontations that are not simply a game, but a collision between two pinnacles of art, strategy and pride. And this time, the world of billiards has been completely shaken when “The Wizard” Efren “Bata” Reyes – a living legend from the Philippines, is about to enter a fierce competition with one of the most formidable warriors of the United States, Jeremy “Double J” Jones. A match that has been awaited for decades, has now become a reality!
Two players, two different styles, two souls with a burning passion for billiards, now stand head to head in a match that can be called “The Battle of the Kings” – where glory, fame and pride will be decided on every line of the cue.
No one in the billiards world does not know the name Efren Reyes. He is not only a legend, but also a symbol of creativity and sophistication. Every time Reyes steps onto the table, the audience prepares for a "magic" performance - shots that seem to only exist in science fiction movies. With more than 70 international titles, and the title "Magician", Reyes does not just play billiards, he tells stories on the green table.
Reyes' playing style is full of tactics, combined with his calmness and extraordinary ability to read the game. His shots can make his opponents dizzy and the audience jump out of their seats. Reyes does not need strength to win - he uses his intelligence and superior billiards sense to make the whole world bow.
But facing Reyes this time is no stranger. Jeremy "Double J" Jones, a former world champion, who was once considered one of the best representatives of the American school. With his powerful, decisive style and remarkable control of the game, Jones is more than just a good player – he is a true warrior.

Known as a “tactician” on the pool table, Jeremy understands every move and can plan the entire game with just the first few shots. He is the type of player who is never intimidated by the reputation of his opponents – and this time, he affirmed, “I will not bow to anyone, not even Reyes.”
The world of billiards has long been waiting for this confrontation. Whenever a legend like Reyes competes, people come not just to see who wins and who loses – they come to witness the art of billiards at the highest level.

From the very beginning, Jeremy Jones showed formidable form. With a precise break and extremely skillful control of the white ball, he immediately won the first point. But Reyes was not shaken. He remained calm, delivering counter-hits that sent the crowd into a frenzy.

The game ended not with a clean sweep, but with mutual respect. Reyes and Jones exchanged a respectful handshake. They didn’t need to prove who was number one – they had already proven that they were both worthy 9-ball kings in the hearts of fans.
