Major League Table Tennis (MLTT)

And with Satoshi Aida + de Saintilan, that makes 4 defenders in the MLTT now. It's gonna be quite a show.

I'll try to tune in then - always enjoyed attacker vs. defender matchups.

Angela Guan: Ahem, you mean 5.

Two steals of the draft: Benedek Olah at #15 and Edward Ly at #28.

I guess Tyrese Knight is gone?

Yeah, he used to be with the Portland Paddlers, but I don't see him anywhere on the board.

Pitchford planning to play on Friday tells you what he really thinks about his chances in Macao. But if he beats Truls by some miracle, good luck with that...

Carolina will be the team to beat with a core of Angles, Eugene, Aida and a very strong 4th option in Ly/S. Naresh/Lorentz/Kai.

Seattle should be expected to enter the playoff conversation this season with Kou Lei and Pistej in the picture.

Bay Area and Texas Smash should return as well but no guarantees. Kim Taehyun and Pereira can be up and down for the Blasters but strong when they're on their game. Teams will regret passing on Hodaei.

Less convinced on the Crocs and Revolution... outside of Pitchford, Florida's roster strength on paper is a little questionable. Big question marks in Yuanyu Wu and Seunghwan Lee, and Kaden Xu had been retired for years prior to this. Ekholm seems a bit washed.

A lot will need to go right for Portland and Chicago to be in the playoff picture but I expect them to finish at or towards the bottom. If a lot doesn't go right, Portland's draft could end up looking like an abomination.

Only one doubles match so far, but the pick of Yuanyu Wu over Thiago Monteiro, Wang Wei, Edward Ly, Eric Jouti and even Sid Naresh might prove to be interesting. Maybe a desperate lefty pick for doubles.

Ekholm looking much more aggressive and sharp already compared to last season. Looks like she's been practicing.

But still likely to be a liability for Florida since she can't be hidden in doubles anymore...

Even as the underdog, I've always seen Jinxin hold his own even in defeats. Never seen him get dismantled the way Pitchford is doing right now...backhand clinic

He still got a game.

Bay Area has none of Jinbao/Lily/Cruz/Pereira present for the first match and pays for it... wonder if their roster will often not be at full strength this season given those players other commitments

What are their other commitments?

 

[pongfugrasshopper]

Don't know about the others, but Lily is playing UTT in India.

 

[ThePongCommenter]

What are their other commitments?

Jinbao - training in China, WTT
Lily - UTT, WTT, living in Australia
Cruz - doing whatever 888 ownership makes her do
Pereira- not sure

Didn't say they are worthy commitments but commitments nonetheless... just wondering how availability factored in to the team drafts

UTT was over already, there were UTT players in Macao since their final is already over. Pitchford might also have been in UTT, as was Quadri. Or maybe I misunderstood and there is something else still going on.
