Two weeks, two titles, Liu Shasha returns as queen! Next stop Vietnam, 'Little Monster' fights alongside her!

Two weeks, two championship trophies, two arenas, one kind of dominance.

On the last day of August, Jingdian Predator-contracted player Liu Shasha reached the top at the CBSA China Pool 9-Ball Tour in Zhangjiagang. Thirteen days later, in the final of the 2026 15th WPA Pudong Tangzhen Pool 9-Ball China Open, she defeated her senior fellow disciple Fu Xiaofang 9-5 and stood atop the world. Following Tieling and Zhangjiagang, she successfully claimed her 'third title' of the season.

This is Liu Shasha's third season since her comeback, and also her most thrilling season. She once revealed that the secret to maintaining her best competitive form is 'more practice + a good mindset,' and this secret was perfectly proven in Pudong Tangzhen.

Whether it was defeating Wang Xiaotong on the deciding point in the quarterfinals, crushing Filipino star Rubilen Amit 9-3 in the semifinals, or overcoming Fu Xiaofang 9-5 in the final, Liu Shasha relied on her hot touch and calm mindset to win key battles one after another. When you are still reminiscing about her peak at age 16, she uses three titles to tell everyone: she can still return to the top today.

It must be said that this title in Pudong not only put a perfect period at the end of her domestic campaign, but also gave her ample confidence for her subsequent forays onto the international stage. Among them, the 2026 Poison Saigon Women's 9-Ball Open, held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, from September 21 to 25, is first on the agenda, and on this journey toward the international battlefield, one name travels with her all the way: 'Little Monster.'

The 2026 Poison Saigon Women's 9-Ball Open is one stop in the Predator Pro Billiards Series. In particular, the domestic brand Little Monster is one of the sponsors of this event, and this is also an important part of Little Monster's 'going global' plan.

Little Monster, which has been deeply rooted in the billiards industry for eight years, has frequently appeared on overseas battlefields this year and deeply integrated into the Predator Pro Billiards Series system, becoming a long-term partner of the series. After successfully sponsoring the WPA Women's 10-Ball World Championship in Rome, Italy, in August, Little Monster now moves to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam—from September 19 to 26, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, will host the 2026 Ivan Simonis WPA Men's 10-Ball World Championship, the Poison Saigon Women's 9-Ball Open, and the Mixed Doubles Open, all three events generously sponsored by the Little Monster brand.

Little Monster's overseas layout goes far beyond this. From September 28 to October 5, Bali will host the 2026 Kamui WPA Women's 9-Ball World Championship, the Aramith Men's Open, and the 2026 ISAK BILLIARD WPA Men's Doubles 10-Ball World Championship, and Little Monster will continue to provide strong support.

In particular, from November 23 to 28, San Antonio, USA, will also welcome the 'Little Monster San Antonio Men's Open and Women's Open' exclusively title-sponsored by Little Monster. For Little Monster, this is not only a new breakthrough, but also further solidifies its overseas influence.

In mid-to-late December, in Jacksonville, USA—the headquarters of Predator Group—Little Monster will also sponsor the Men's (Women's) All-Star Game and the Men's (Women's) Doubles All-Star Game, witnessing the peak showdowns among the world's top players.

For the above women's events, Liu Shasha will participate in all of them. At the same time, Little Monster will also accompany her all the way and witness more of her glorious moments.

If the Liu Shasha of today is writing her own 'legend' through actions, then Little Monster is also carving the name of a Chinese brand onto the world billiards map with firm steps.

Next stop, Vietnam. Liu Shasha and Little Monster, side by side.
