In the world of billiards, there are not only beautiful shots or tense matches but also dramatic stories and heated debates. One of the recent events that attracted attention was the war of words between a Syrian billiard player and the legend Efren Reyes, known by the nickname "Wizard".
This event not only attracted the attention of billiards fans but also made many people reflect on the spirit of sportsmanship and how athletes behave in tense situations.
The story begins when the Syrian billiard player, a promising young talent, participated in an international tournament. In a decisive match, he encountered some unlucky situations that he believed were unfairly handled by the referee.
His anger reached its peak when he felt that the referee's decisions directly affected the outcome of the match. In extreme frustration, he criticized not only the referee but also influential people in the billiards world, including Efren Reyes.
Efren Reyes, one of the greatest billiards players of all time, could not stay out of this controversy. With his vast experience and the respect he received from the billiards community, Reyes decided to speak up.

He emphasized that in sports, accepting defeat and respecting the referee's decisions are very important. Reyes also shared that he had experienced similar situations in his career, but instead of letting anger control him, he chose to learn and grow from those failures.
The war of words attracted the attention of many fans and the media. Many sided with the Syrian player, arguing that he had the right to express his dissatisfaction.
They believe that fairness should be the top priority in sports, and that if anything unfair happens, athletes should have the right to speak up. On the other hand, Reyes' supporters emphasize the importance of maintaining respect in sports, arguing that anger and criticism are not the way to solve problems.
The incident has opened up a big debate in the billiards community about how athletes should behave. Many people believe that expressing emotions is completely normal, but how athletes express those emotions is very important. They need to learn to control their emotions and find positive ways to solve problems instead of letting anger drive their actions.
While the debate continues, many people have also begun to reconsider the role of referees in billiards matches. Referees are not just the ones who run the game, they are also the ones who have to make difficult decisions in stressful situations. They are human beings, and like everyone else, they make mistakes. Respecting the referees and understanding that they are also trying to do their job is essential in any sport.
In the midst of the controversy, several other famous billiard players also spoke up. They emphasized that respect and friendship in sports are essential to building a strong community. They called on young athletes to learn from their predecessors like Efren Reyes, not only about billiard skills but also about how to behave in difficult situations.
Ultimately, this incident is not just a war of words between two players but also a valuable lesson for all who love sports. It reminds us that in sports, as in life, controlling emotions and maintaining respect is very important. Failures and mistakes are inevitable, but how we respond to those challenges defines who we are.
Billiards is not just a game, it is an art, and like any art, it requires respect, patience, and love. The Syrian player’s spat with Efren Reyes has opened up an important conversation about the value of the sport, and hopefully from such spats we can build a stronger billiards community where respect and sportsmanship are paramount.
