Portland is stacked so strong! And not even Kang Dongsoo was there… Let’s hope they hold their nerve in playoffs

Was at the Portland MLTT Saturday match this weekend and it was basically sold out, seats full! I have gone to every Portland weekend since the start of the league and while Portland has always had some of the biggest crowds, this weekend was a new record. What other reason other than this movie...

As someone who’s tried really hard to get a Japanese T league subscription and who also watched German league.. I think making the platform a worldwide league streaming platform is great, kinda just tacks MLTT onto it in a way… they need more leagues tho before it’s worth it…

I didn’t watch the Portland vs Carolina match but I’m wondering how would Carolina lose so bad are they missing top players? Someone mentioned Portland had issues with top players missing last year I don’t think that’s gonna be a problem this year - they just won 3 games this weekend without...

Was at the Portland vs LA game and Portland vs Chicago game this weekend in Portland and mannnn MLTT skill level literally jumps up a tier every season! Great play, unbelievable rallies! Kotomi Omoda is Portland’s superstar sweetheart lol I see she also joined the French Pro A league this year...

I mean it’s fine if they’re still dominant. Just a 60-80% dominance is much more fun and interesting than a 95% dominance. People love a good upset.

Seems there is a mental barrier being broken. Like when someone sets a new sports record previously deemed impossible then multiple people get it soon after. There’s a name for the phenomena but I can’t remember.

Portland was packed last season which is why they made it the season opener this time and while it wasn’t as packed it was still a good turn out, even if it didn’t look as impressive as the first season, but it was a bigger venue nah pretty sure they’re working on making them available online...

I’m sure it’s both, I’m sure he knows they are good and probably feels like there would be good what’s the word, synchrony? To be fair I don’t think anyone knows about Omoda but he wasn’t wrong in his calculated gamble with that one

I’ll admit Lillieroos hasn’t been the greatest at GG lineups but he can probably claim the best draft between Nordberg, Lundqvist, and Omoda, they’ve all delivered superbly. Haochen Wang could also be a beast I think he just need to get used to the format.

Anyone got any insight on why there was absolutely no crowd in Chicago this weekend? Wth? Isn’t Chicago a huge TT city? Like did the league really drop the ball on advertising or was there some other event that weekend or what? Can’t wrap my head around there only being like 2 dozen spectators...

To be fair she’s only played twice against women, her loss against Cazzacu doesn’t count for her record imo, give her some time to warm up. Wengshen Wei didn’t do too well the first weekend and she did great this weekend! Honestly they should force a women vs women singles for every match..

Random but I like the new season 2 team jersey except Texas Smash, the sleeves are horrible the stripes remind me of the circus lmao Also I noticed Florida Crocs have the most unique jerseys, and I think season 1 they also had the most unique jersey, is that a coincidence or what lol

Good report out, I was definitely pleasantly surprised with Portland’s fortitude now with the 2 Swedes and Nikhil Kumar. Also Haocheng Wang is a beast waiting to be unleashed.

Princeton Revolution vs Portland Paddlers - MLTT Side ball gets challenged at 32:55 between Jens Lundqvist and Jishan Liang. I believe I saw a let serve be challenged in one match, and the table being moved during a point as well in another! Just thought that this is super interesting and...
