Well some popular Asians finally hope they do well and they make their country proud would be good to see how they perform, pokerstars are getting more and more people from all around the world and the emerging markets like Brazil and the Asian countries for poker players and they seem to be doing a good job as they keep making a lot of money, so good luck guys have fun and make some good money cheers peace out!

Nice to see that ps is taking new ps pro players Jaime staples will be there in bigining of next year, he is now sponsored by pokerstars because he doesnt have supernova status, and you got to have supernova to become ps team pro... he will get supernova till the end of year, so he will for sure be next team pro player... Ps have like 20 maybe more team pro players... thats a lot!!! Hope one day I would become ps pro too

well it's kinda clear what the intent was with these newly cooked team pro's... stars would love to expand their business in asia and what better way to do this than with the help of local forces... next they should sigh kim jong un in order to capture 99.99% of north korea's poker market.

No surprise they went with some Asian players and it looks like they will have to go for more South/Central American pros as well,poker in those regions is booming right now,especially Brazil.

I am not even sure Asia wants anything to do with Amaya. They seems to be fine without them.
