Manila, Philippines- Efren has his Django, and Mika will have his Dynamite. World 9-Ball & 10-Ball Champion, and twice US Open Champion Darren Appleton of England will be anchoring the powerhouse Team West. The World #2 says the Kings Cup is something that has been long awaited for and he is ready to rumble. European and American champions will go against Asia's champions on November 19th at Resorts World Manila Casino & Hotel in the inaugural Kings Cup! In what surely will become the most epic rivalry in cue sports, the pool world is about to get rocked in a war that fans have been dreaming about for years. Dragon Promotions is pleased to announce the Kings Cup, a first time ever event pitting the men's champions of Europe & USA versus the champions of Asia in a three day contest to declare which side is the strongest, the East or the West. OnNovember 19th-21st 2015, the world, as well as the players themselves, will find out! Four players on each side will be selected to represent their continent. The Kings Cup will be hosted by the award winning Resorts World Manila Casino & Hotel and produced by Dragon Promotions. The event will be played on the beautifully designed Rasson Table using Andy Cloth, Viking Cue, Pool & Billiard Magazine, and Billiards Digest are also co-sponsors.
"Its an honor to be chosen to play in the first ever Kings Cup and I look forward to it. East versus West...its been a long time coming", said Appleton.
"Darren is obviously an amazing player and amazing team player. We get along really great and have a tremendous amount of mutual respect for one another", said an enthused Mika Immonen who will captain Team West. In an interview, Mika had named Appleton to be his first choice if he could pick a player for his side. Wishes do come true.
