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 Panther contracted player Liu Shasha climbed to the top of 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 fellow disciple Fu Xiaofang 9-5 to reach the summit of the world. Following Tieling and Zhangjiagang, she successfully claimed her third title of the season.

This is the third season since Liu Shasha's comeback, and also her most thrilling one. 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 the double-hill decisive victory over Wang Xiaotong in the quarterfinals, the 9-3 crushing win over Philippine star Rubilen Amit in the semifinals, or the 9-5 victory over Fu Xiaofang in the final, Liu Shasha relied on her red-hot touch and calm mindset to win one key battle after another. While you were still reminiscing about her peak at age 16, she has used three titles to tell everyone: she can still return to the top today.

It must be said that this championship in Pudong not only put a perfect period on her domestic campaign, but also built up ample confidence for her subsequent push into the international arena. Among them, the 2026 Poison Saigon Women's 9-Ball Open, held from September 21 to 25 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, stands first in line. And on this journey toward the international battlefield, there is one name accompanying her all the way: "Little Monster."

The 2026 Poison Saigon Women's 9-Ball Open is one stop in the Panther Professional Billiards Series system. It is particularly worth mentioning that the domestic brand Little Monster is one of the sponsors of this event, which 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 has deeply integrated into the Panther Professional 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 will welcome 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 of which are proudly 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, where Little Monster will continue to lend strong support.

It is particularly worth mentioning that from November 23 to 28, San Antonio, USA, will 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 consolidates its overseas influence.

In mid-to-late December, in Jacksonville, USA — the headquarters of the Panther 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 of the world's top players.

Liu Shasha will participate in all the above women's events. 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 action, 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, walking side by side.
