European Top 16 Cup 2024

[NextLevel]

So the European top 16 Cup is on. Ettu.org for matches and results and live streams on ettu tv.

What made me write this post? Alexis still exerts a psychological dominance on his younger brother lol, winning 4‐2 !against Felix, Felix who gives nightmares to just about every other player in the world.

Dang and Freitas are playing shortly or may even have started. Enjoy!

Both penholders have been eliminated. Amazing. So we should have tomorrow morning Moregardh vs Levrun A and Jorgic vs Freitas.

Quite a turn up…

Man, I thought Truls was choking again for a second there... But his performance in the fifth set was absolutely savage.

Truls is like Harlem Globe Trotters playing TT

Truls is the most fun player to watch since Waldner, absolutely spectacular style of play. Whereas Jorgic is the antithesis of that, literally puts me to sleep.

EDIT: An absolute machine, though.

When can we expect to see the videos from todays matches for those that missed it live? Can't go back on the live stream.

What a ridicilous fifth game LOL! Reckon my cybershape is broken.. those shots never land where supposed to.

Alexis should just default when playing his brother. Seriously.

Is there some accelerant in the venue or on the bats? The ball is getting smacked ridiculously, it sounds like anime special effects for punches and hits. If they can replicate this at most your events, it would help make things more spectacular.

Everything about the production, including the lighting, sound, camera work, and crowd puts the WTT to shame. Watching TT presented this way just makes it feel like a more spectacular and dynamic sport.

WTT should just hire whoever was in charge of this ETTU event. Unfortunately, like their choice of venues, their hiring practices probably have less to abiilty and more to do with favoritism.

Awful tactics from Truls. Darko appears to be reading his mind, meaning the match prep was meticulous.

Darko is a cyborg

Amazing!!! Love Darko's game and what an accomplishment!!! 3 cups in a row...

Most of all I hate what the WTTC has been turned into. I miss the magnificence and the grandeur. I miss this:

The hell happened?

Given how badly he also beat Freitas, I suspect he had seriously prepped for both of them. His kryptonite is Dang but Dang didnt show up obviously... would have been nice to see what would have happened against Felix but I guess the Alexis problem takes precedence for now.

Jorgić - Freitas was surreal, I can't even remember the last time I've seen an elite player this powerless, at this level, in this stage of the competition. Absolutely bonkers.

That said, Moregardh played a fantastic tournament right up until the final where he seemed to have walked into a trap. Obviously, his gimmicky playing style won't work against every type of player, meaning he should learn to fall back to a more conservative, calculated type of game.
