MANILA---The Filipino trio of Rubilen Amit, Carlo Biado and Johann Chua became the 2022 Predator World Teams 10-ball Champions as they hammered Team Great Britain, 3-0, in the final in Klagenfurt, Austria, Sunday, Sept. 11.
Meeting the same team that they defeated through a shootout, 3-2, in the winner’s qualification, the Filipinos made quick work of the British trio of Kelly Fisher, Jayson Shaw, and Darren Appleton to bag the gold medal and the lion’s share of the 40,000 Euros.
Amit gave the Philippines a 1-0 lead after a 4-3 win over Kelly Fisher in the women’s singles set.
A long shot of Biado in the nine ball routed Jayson Shaw, 4-3, in the men’s single set as Team Philippines take a 2-0 commanding lead in the race-to-three series.
The pair of Amit and Chua connived for a 4-1 victory of Fisher and Darren Appleton in the mixed doubles to put on the finishing touches to the Philippine’s unbeaten run in the tournament.
Both Biado and Amit were part of the silver-medal winning team of 2014, when they lost to China in the final.
On the road to the finals, Team Philippines needed to beat Team Poland, 3-1, in the quarter-finals and shootout wins against Team Germany, 3-2, in the semi-finals.
“It feels amazing to be champions,” said Amit. “We’re, we’re very, very happy, and very and relieved. Finally, no more matches, we can rest and just enjoy it and enjoy Austria and Klagenfurt!
“Last time we placed 2nd and now we are finally the champions. I am very happy that I have Johann and Carlo as my teammates because they are awesome, they are very good players.”
Biado added: “Finally we made it. My job was to win in this event and with my team, and I want to thank them because we all played well. We have to celebrate now!”
As per world-renowned blogger Leslie "AnitoKid" Mapugay.
"We did it. Our Team PH wins the very prestigious 2022 Predator World 10-Ball Teams Championships."
"Inner strength, fortitude, and passion. That will to win and take it all. To dish out the agony of defeat and realize the thrill of victory. Shut Out, Truth be told, it does not get any bigger than this. All your sacrifices - blood, sweat, and tears - have paid off. Heart of a champion Carlo Biado, Johann Gonzales Chua, and Rubilen Amit, indeed," said by Mapugay, who is a co-founder of the Makati Pool Players Association - MAPPA, and is currently one of its Board of Directors, serving as its Public Relations Officer under the able leadership of MAPPA President Arvin Arceo.-Marlon Bernardino-
