On April 11, the third round of the 2022 Snooker World Championship qualification round was completed, and 15 members of the Chinese legion played, and only 5 people successfully broke through and entered the decisive round of the fourth round. A brother Ding Junhui led the game, leading Zhou Yuelong, Lu Haotian, Yuan Sijun, Lei Peifan and others to attack the qualification for this year's World Championships. In the day's competition, the Chinese legion was out of the game, including Xiao Guodong, Cao Yupeng, Pang Junxu, Gao Yang and other new and old players.
As the most important ranking tournament at the end of the season, only 32 players can participate in the Snooker World Championship main tournament, of which the top 16 players in the world ranking will be directly seeded, and the remaining 16 regular seats will be determined through the qualifiers, and a total of 128 players can pass at least two qualifiers to determine the place. Among them, the first three rounds of the qualifiers will use an 11-inning 6-win system, and the final fourth round, which is known as the "Trial Day" tiebreaker round in the industry, will use the 19-in-10 win system of the traditional long-term format of the World Championships.
At this World Championship, Zhao Xintong and Yan Bingtao of the Chinese Legion ranked 7th and 16th in the world rankings, so they directly entered as two seeds, while the other 25 people, including Ding Junhui, started from the qualifiers. At the beginning of the third round, a total of 15 people played, the scale is quite large, but unfortunately, at the end of the third round, only 5 people were left to enter the fourth round of the decisive round, including Xiao Guodong, Fan Zhengyi, Cao Yupeng, Lu Ning, Li Xing, Zhang Anda, Zhang Jiankang, Tian Pengfei, Gao Yang, Pang Junxu and other 10 people lost in the civil and foreign wars, bid farewell to the World Championships, and ended the season competition ahead of schedule. Especially in the last matchday, the Chinese legion played with 6 players, only Yuan Sijun and Lei Peifan won, Xiao Guodong lost to Grace 4-6, Cao Yupeng lost to Milkins 3-6, Gao Yang lost to Carter 4-6, and Pang Junxu lost 1-6 to Dort.
In the final "Judgment Day", the 5-member matchup of the Chinese Legion is as follows: Ding Junhui is against England amateur David Lili, Zhou Yuelong is against Scottish star Maguire, Lu Haotian is against Welsh star Dominic Dale, Yuan Sijun is against England's Hayfield, and young player Lei Peifan is against Iran's Hussein Wafi. In terms of the strength and status of the opponent and the past record of the opponent, the five games will be hard battles, not particularly easy, but the long-term system of 10 wins in 19 innings may bring more opportunities.
In other competitions, there have also been a number of high-ranking celebrities who have been upset out of the game, including the top seed in the qualifiers, Walton, who is ranked 17th in the world; Joe Perry, the champion of the New Welsh Open this season, and Fan Zhengyi, the champion of the New York European Masters; and the "Glasses Man" Gould and Ryan Day, all of whom fell in the third round of the qualifiers and did not qualify for the final decisive round. In addition, in the final decider round, there are 4 players who start from the first round and advance from three consecutive rounds, they are Ray Peifan, Patch and amateur Michael White and David Leary, who will impact the miracle of winning 4 consecutive games and entering the main game.
