The European Intersport Supercup is live here

Players that will play in this tournament are:

In Group A:
Dimitrij Ovtcharov
Bastian Steger
Michael Maze
Kirill Skachkov

In Group B:
Vladimir Samsonov
Patrick Baum
Alexey Smirnov
Kalinikos Kreanga

Timo Boll had to withdraw because he has bronchitis. Skachkov is replacing him. I just read this on Tabletennista.com.
Because of this 'Dima' Ovtcharov is the clear favorite at this tournament. However he has tempered the expectations by pointing out that his teammates from Orenburg, Samsonov and Smirnov, shouldn't be underestimated. He also mentioned Michael Maze as an outsider. Maze is coming back in good form lately, his victory over Samsonov and his performance in the ECL being the proof.Maybe Maze or Skachkov can cause upsets! The tournament is held in Ekaterinenburg, where Michael Maze plays his home matches for UMMC.

Come to the ITTF chat lounge, just pause the ITTF stream and watch laola1

This is going to be a big tournament so lets get started and start discussing the seeds. We can use this thread as a means to display all the latest results, videos and news from this spectacular event!

Nice job, Maze ruined my bet.. crap :D

U should more often bet on the upsets haha. They always get u :p Maybe it was because Dima didn't have a coach. I'm sure a coach would've told him to serve better in the last game :) U noticed? From 4-4 to 8-8, they made points on the opponents serve only. Then Maze made 2 points on his own serve and got matchpoints :D

And Smirnov beats Samsonov.. not a surprise at all :)

Wow great win for Samsonov... Samsonov has really dropped his form over the last few months

Yop, since now Skachkov beat Steger 3:1
Maze beat Ovtcharov 3:2
and Kreanga beat Baum 3:1 :)

And Maze will face Skachkov

So now Ovtcharov vs. Steger - first german player to win, lol :D

So many surprise victories so far! Maybe the German team are not to interested in this event?

Sooo!
My bet, Kreanga for winner was not that bad at all!
He just beat Smirnov 3:2.. he was 0:2 down!
9:11, 7:11 .. but he fights back and wins next three sets 11:7, 11:7 and 11:9!
Amazing!

And Samsonov woke up a little and beat Baum 3:0 :)
It was not that one sided as this looks.. sets were 11:6, 14:12, 11:9

Seems like all the matches are pretty open. This is a cool event :D Baum should be out now though, just like Steger and Skachkov most likely.
