It'll hold. He's not human.

I certainly hope so (that it'll hold, I mean, I actually still suspect ML to have human qualities and flaws somewhere).

 

[allencorn]

Just a quick question - what is the prize money for the events? Not sure I ever see that mentioned anywhere.

 

[yoass]

I think every city in the world should raise a statue of Ma Long.

Right next to the Stellan Bengtsson statue?

 

[Atas Newton]

He only won 4 more points. But also 3 more games

He's gonna face the ultimate pressure in the final, first to win it for the country, then for himself, then against an underdog who's got nothing to lose.

Knew it.... 'nuf said! ML will three..peat

 

[ggGOAT]

Hope An wins.. Falck is scary.

 

[Atas Newton]

Scenes when An Jaehyun wins it all.

ma long will clinch the title again...classic ma long with a very solid performance but damn its boring when someone dominates like that. LJK figured out how to play him in the 2nd set and then totally jinxed himself. when he adjusted to ML's fakes and redirections ML simply change the tactic and just took the initiative, after that LJK seemed disappointed that he got trolled so much getting dominated with what appeared to be predictable shots. He woke up too late, nevertheless a great game

Jesus Christ. Ma Long is non-human. I still can’t believe the game I just saw wasn’t sped up or something. One of the best matches I’ve seen recently.

Prestige. Prize money for World Cup only.

 

[FruitLoop]

The match was definitely closer than 4-1 suggests.

Really??

ITTF is absurd.

Likes An's style

Same for Badminton. Other than a handful, namely football, golf, tennis, cricket, and darts, other sports have little prize money. https://www.bbc.com/sport/40300519

Zeio, thanks for the link. I had no idea. I figured with all the sponsorships and ads and such, some of that income would trickle down to the players.

And thanks for all your efforts. They are much appreciated.

Really? Since when should we be taking all that sportsing seriously once it gets to be about money? If you start to go that way, you're pretty sure to end up with something like pro wrestling.

I truly have no idea what you're saying.

I'm asking for them to pay these men, what are you?

 

[yoass]

I really don't think the final will be as imbalanced and ending as predictably as many seem to be so sure of. Massive high level in the other SF by both.

And what a story would that be, if AN makes it to the final, and then?
