championship 5 million, the first year of professionalization! On July 23, the 2022 Qiao's Cup Chinese Billiards Masters Super Stop Tournament (Hebei Shijiazhuang Station) entered a new round of competition. Chen Zhe of Qiao's Billiards Dream Team performed his courage. After defeating "King of Chu" Chu Bingjie yesterday, he defeated "The King of Heaven" Dai Yong 13:3 this afternoon and advanced to the top 16 strongly.
Because he participated in the Class A competition before, Chen Zhe adapted to the field environment before his opponent, which had the effect of training in advance, which was of great benefit to defeating the two powerful players. "I played well in these two games, and I have performed well. I feel that Brother Yong is in a bad state in this game and makes many mistakes..." When he was competing for the quarterfinals of 8 in the first grade, Chen Zhe lost to Liu Yan, who also belongs to the snooker transformation, and the latter became the biggest dark horse of this site. "The living environment of Chinese billiards is very good now. Snooker-turning Chinese style is a trend, because of the skills of snooker, and I am very adaptable after the transformation. I hope that all players who have transformed from 9 goals and snooker can use their previous strengths and practice Chinese billiards to the extreme."
Because of the experience of both Class A and Super League, what Chen Zhe felt most deeply about this site is the intensity of the two major events. "Simply put, it is difficult to play. The A-level match is as difficult as the Super League. Especially when the A-level enters the later stage, the players' strength is actually not inferior to the signed players of the Masters. Basically, the win or loss depends on actual performance."
Last season, Chen Zhe ranked 28th in the year-end standings. This season, Chen Zhe's progress can be seen from the naked eye. He is currently ranked third in the first-class scoreboard and has also entered the Super League main competition many times. "In the first-class competition, whoever wins the championship is basically the top one. I will strive to maintain the top spot in the first place in the first-class points and compete for the qualification to sign a player next year by the end of the year."
2022 season, the Qiao's Cup Chinese Billiards Masters was fully professionalized, with a total season bonus of 22.8 million yuan, and the Masters' Global Finals Championships and the winning prize jumped to 5 million yuan, surpassing the Snooker World Championship to become the billiards event with the highest prize in the world. At the same time, improve the tiered event system, fully open up players' participation channels, and open a new era of professionalization of Chinese billiards.
For every snooker player, the status of the Snooker World Championships is very noble. After transforming into Chinese billiards, the championship prize in the Masters finals surpassed that of snooker, which means they have the opportunity to obtain a higher bonus income than the World Championships champion.
"The impact of the championship of 5 million is very strong, which makes the influence of Chinese billiards comparable to snooker. In fact, these two sports are of the same level, but belong to different fields. No matter which game, the players have only one purpose, that is, the prize money, and their value is the same in this regard."
