2026 Reyes Cup - October 15-18


AJ Manas back to back reyes cup MVP?

Carlo was actually undefeated outside the Team events. But no one on Team Asia had a better overall record than the worst ROW player :)

These stats are through 14 matches, not the actual 15. So they are wrong for FSR, SVB, Capito, and Duong.

and with FSR apparently on another high. funny kind of player. streaky.

but it's not as easy as to say team asia had their hands tied with the wildcard picks. they would need the heyball defectors to be really competitive;

lil ko
biado
chua
wu jiaqing
yapp or big ko

that would be a close match.
Totally different team, with only Biado a holdover.
 
This event went pretty much how I expected with ROW as stacked as they were. I also thought Aleksa played very well for team ROW which shows how much depth Europe has.
 
wojciech, albin, niels, mario, there's a bunch of players i'd pick before pecelj.. but this was his first event of this sort, so there's room for improvement

I’d take Aleksa over everyone on that list except Woj. Considering this was his first go at it and he won over 70% of his matches I’d say he played pretty well.
 
A couple folks on Facebook mentioned they did not care for the name "Team Rest of the World" (ROW).

Upon thinking about it, why not Team East v. Team West instead of Team Asia v. Team Rest of the World?

I'm not knocking MR or WNT. Just thinking about the pros and cons of the names. I enjoyed Captain Souquet and is Row, Row, Row celebration chant with Team ROW.

Thoughts?

I like Team ROW. If the Asian based players think they are the best, let's see it! East vs. West implies 50/50 geography. I respect your opinion of this though! I'm a child of the toughness of the 1980's, where the attitude was "if you think you got it, step up, but be ready to get hit in the mouth" (to say it nicely). In line with this, I have personally never taken a spot in pool in my many years of competing.
