SBA’s Titans & Kings Season 2 kicks off

The Sharks Billiards Association (SBA) is gearing up for another thrilling season as it launches Season 2 on Nov. 10, 2025, featuring not one but two new powerhouse teams, the Makati Titans and Paranaque Kings.

This expansion marks a major milestone in SBA's mission to professionalize billiards and showcase the best Filipino cue artists on a national stage. With six teams now in the league, expect fierce rivalries , fresh faces, and the same world-class level of play that has made SBA the gold standard of Philippine Cue Sports.

"Season 2 is all about evolution for both the league and the athletes playing," said Hadley Mariano, SBA Founder. "We're proud to welcome new cities into the fold as we continue giving Filipino cue artists a professional platform to grow, compete, and inspire the next generation."

Making his professional debut with the Paranaque Kings is Dart Bonode, a 19-year-old student from De La Salle University.

"Playing for SBA means more than competition. It's an opportunity to learn from the best and prove that young players like us can stand with veterans," Bonode shared. " I'm proud to represent Paranaque and be part of this growing community."

The addition of Makati Titans and Paranaque Kings follow SBA's nationwide scouting tours launched earlier this year, aimed at Discovering emerging talents and expanding the league's reach across the country. These tours underscore SBA's commitment to building a professional ecosystem for Philippine cue Sports.

The upcoming season will now feature six teams: the Taguig Stallions (Season 1 Champions), Manila MSW Mavericks, Quezon City Dragons, Negros Occidental Pillars, and the two new contenders, the Makati Titans and Paranaque Kings.

SBA Founder Hadley Mariano and Games and Amusement Board (GAB) Chairman Atty. Francisco Rivera led the media launching Thursday at the Sharks Arena and Sports Bar in Tomas Morato, Quezon City.
