Europe Smash Sweden August 14-24 2025

[Dr Evil]

Pretty good for the worst world number 1.

 

[Walalang]

What a win by Lin Shidong. Saw some changes in his game against gauzy, he played more mature and learned to slow down the game and just let simon do continuous errors.

 

[zeio]

Can't believe Simon blew the 9-6 lead in the sixth.

Lin Shidong is the single worst world number one I've seen in my life.

In a live stream, ZJK actually praised LSD for doing very well for his age.

He's the youngest-ever WR1. ML was losing left and right at his age under the protection of WLQ, MLin and WH. LSD has practically none.

Is Gauzy the player with the most losses in the decider? It's such a shame to see him lose these close matches.

 

[CallMeZaddy]

Time for Gauzy to retire and come play MLTT. 🙃

imagine if he was reunited with Enzo Angles on the Gold Rush

 

[Nakira]

Simon Gauzy played... Simon Gauzy. So closed to the exploit. So closed. Anyway, Simon, thank you for the show. That's how we love you.

You're right. LSD never looks confident and hasn't looked like a worthy successor to the throne yet. I can't explain why, but he doesn't look like the champions of old. Nothing like ZJK or FZD

The old gang was so formidable. Ma Long was a bloody superhero, ZJK was an enfant terrible superstar like John McEnroe, Xu Xin had that bad-ass super-villain vibe, and FZD was/is a frickin' robot.

Let's be honest, the actual world #1 is still FZD and it's not even close.

But god damn, I miss Zhang Jike.

It happened against LJK as well. Gauzy should have really won in game 6 against LSD. He blew such a good lead and chance to make it to the final.

LSD vs Ma Long in China Smash last year and now Europe Smash vs Gauzy. Both these matches he came back hard

Maybe Lin Gaoyuan has the most losses in the decider. Someone need to check that.

Imagine if XX and ZJK went the Macao route lol

 

[zeio]

Crazy choke by Gauzy

He didn't choke but rather LSD fended off his onslaught. Gauzy never had match point.

 

[TensorBackhand]

Honestly I love it. It brings a whole new exciting dimension to TT. XX go play for Macao, ZJK play for Hong Kong.

 

[RefereeNumber2]

Really impressive and clutch play from LSD. It must feel strange on his side to be losing out in the speedy backhand exchanges. But he figured out just in time he needed to slow the game and not give Gauzy as much pace to work with.

 

[M51]

ZJK actually praised LSD for doing very well for his age.

He's 20.

FZD was a monster at 16.

Harimoto won his fist professional match at age 12.

ZJK was being supportive, as expected. What did Xu Xin say? I remember him saying he wasn't impressed with Felix, lmao.

Wang Hao can sleep peacefully tonight. Job still secured 😂

 

[BlopChock]

Gah, so disappointed for Gauzy after the 3-1 lead. Thanks to both players for an entertaining match, though.

I thought it was supposed to be easy to win 50 matches in a row against lower rated players.

 

[Dr Evil]

Whatever ball they're using for this tournament should be the new standard. So many great points.

 

[Dan]

Fantastic match!!🔥

I think the three silver medals haunt him every night. He never looks satisfied.
