Both of them needing to qualify is absurd. Great to see Wu back for us fans, alot of pros are probably not so happy.
Thanks for the info. Do you have a website for the tournament by chance?

Thanks for the info!
Can we blame him?
Wu had been banned for 2 years and as he said, "I know I will not be forgiven by many, but I have to take care of tomorrow's lunch."
Anyway I think this will be a win-win for Wu and China.
Wu will get more support and the Chinese team will be much stronger.
The sport as a whole will benefit too.
I heard that Wu's been coaching Chen Siming, the Philippine open champion. If that's true, he's a heck of a coach too!

Damn! I wish that was my nickname.
recognized Thomas Engert, Ralf Souquet and Thorsten Hohmann here
Bastar Mandy who is another champion from the Philippines along with Efren Reyes must be Bustamante. Took me a while to guess. I almost started to believe in some new shortstop name :grin-square:I've revised the translation of the last paragraph a bit. Hope you guys understand better.
The draw ceremony was star-studded. The two world champions from the Philippines, Reyes and Bustamente, along with Korea’s beauty player Yu Ram Cha, sat quietly in the last row. Making his first trip to mainland China, American veteran, "Scorpion" Johnny Archer was all smiles in the front row. Stevie Moore, missing on the list first published, qualified unexpectedly and also came to Beijing. Germany’s top player, Masters champion, Thomas Engert, joined fellow countrymen Ralf Souquet and Thorsten Hohmann at the Beijing competition. Known as a ‘family man’, Nick Van den Berg was ‘forced’ to make the trip with fellow Dutch players Feijen and Huidji because he's the European Champion. At the women’s side, Allison Fisher, Ga-Young Kim and Kelly Fisher were all there. The newly-crowned World 10-Ball Champion Jasmine Ouschan was represented by her coach for the draw, as she had just arrived in Beijing an hour earlier. Let’s hope these top player would bring us their best performances in the next 4 days.
