📍🔥 Eklent Kaçi is on a warpath again! 🔥
"Line them up. 5 to 10 of your best Filipino players. I’ll take them ALL on. $50,000 each. 5 challenge matches. 9-ball or 10-ball—your call."

That’s Kaçi throwing down a massive gauntlet on social media. 💰💣
The Albanian powerhouse isn’t holding back, and clearly, he’s not done stirring the pot after his last set of online tirades. Call it confidence… or cockiness?

🎱 But here's the real question—who do you think should answer this challenge?
Pagulayan? Biado? Chua? Centeno? Gomez? Or is it time for young blood to step up?

One thing’s for sure: Kaçi just turned up the heat on the global pool scene. 🔥

📍 CANCEL FLORIDA OPEN ❌ AJ MANAS

Rising Filipino cue artist AJ Manas has confirmed he won’t be heading to the Florida Open or US Open this August.

> “Visa interview? Step 1—✔️. Step 2? Fully booked. Classic plot twist. 😂” – AJ Manas

But don’t count him out — he’s doubling down on local tournaments in Indonesia and locking in on practice like a man possessed. 🔥

> “No stage is too small when the mission stays big. I'm trusting the timing, not just the plan.”

With a calm mindset, a sharp cue, and the full backing of his sponsors, AJ is keeping his eyes on the long game. He may be off the global stage for now, but the fire is burning brighter than ever. 💯

📍Indonesia Tourneys: On Deck
🎯Focus Mode: Fully Activated
🧠Sanity: Holding (barely) 😅

Let’s show this warrior some love — the best stories are the ones that detour before they conquer.
