There are some videos on youtube where he breaks 147 at age 14 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgPuJhXnRHY).
He allso played legends like parrot and stevens in some feature matches at the belgian championships.
He is from the same city as I am. Ran into him at the snooker hall a few times. a nice guy. Very mature for his age is what I noticed. When I first saw him play he was 13, but he was able to make conversation asif he was 16. Most 13year olds reply only in yes or no when talking to a stranger, this guy talked to me like I'd known him for years.
I hope to see him go to the top in the coming years.

That young man is amazing! Looks like a machine. Shot making is near perfect and ball control is spectacular for any age.

Brecel Honoured In Home Town - World Snooker
A special festival was staged in Maasmechelen in Belgium on Sunday to celebrate Luca Brecel’s achievement in winning the Cazoo World Championship for the first time. Over 500 people came to the festival to see local hero Brecel, who beat Mark Selby in the final at the Crucible earlier this...
Sadly, the OP has not been with us for over six years. I wonder what happened to him.

Yep.
I just searched for a thread for the player, this one popped up.
Saved me making a Luca thread.

The Belgian Perspective - World Snooker
Luca Brecel’s landmark Crucible victory saw him become Belgium and Continental Europe’s first ever snooker World Champion. It was a result which sent shockwaves throughout the sporting landscape of his home country. Since Eurosport began covering snooker, the European market has been a huge one...
Nice write up.
I’ve also been a big fan of him since before he qualified for the tour. It’s been a lot of ups and downs but I’m pretty excited to see him get a world championship. While I don’t see him as heir to the Ronnie/Stephen/Steve or anything lofty like that, I can see him being the next major crowd favourite in same vein as Jimmy White. He’s an exciting player to watch, has a attractive style and just generally seems like a nice kid. It’s hard not to root for him.
