Jang and Cho take MD, came back from down 6-8 in the 5th
First title for JWJ in over 2 years? On his WTT profile page, the most recent that I saw prior to this was MD at the 2023 WTT Contender Lagos.
Truls moved ahead of Tomo at #4, I think from expired points. LYJ is now #9, and JWJ is now #14.
On the women’s side, CXT is now #3, followed by Kuai Man and ZYL. Han Ying moved up 4 spots to #18

Texas had the lead entering the GG in each match this weekend but lost them all, including an ultimate golden point vs...
It looks like Hugo will hold on to the #3 spot due to Tomo's points from last year's Star Contender Doha expiring, and LYJ will move to #9 just behind Sora. Are those correct?

LA RPB has some nice videos about MLTT, with...
behind the scenes video. I know Matt (we play on a league team together and lost badly last weekend lol) and many of the players from the New York City area. Matt also did some videos about playing in China
