    2025 Reyes Cup, Oct 16-19, Manilla. Team Asia vs Team World

    Chua was worst performer on Team Asia last year. Only managed 0.4 points (won 2 Team matches but lost all other matches (1 singles and 2 doubles matches). Seem to choke underperform and cannot handle domestic pressure. (Yes I know he has won WCOP etc etc but this on home soil different story) To...

    WNT Hanoi Open 2025, Vietnam, Oct 7-12

    He was just more visible on social media hanging with Roy's Basement, playing money games one time playing long set with JF .
