Pongfinity Otto in Finnish Championships 2024 | Quarter Final

[@lordoftherabbit]

Love seeing the competition videos, win or lose! It’s great to see the pongfinity cast play in competitive matches

[@tarangdata]

Otto’s footwork has improved❤❤

Mika is looking old in this video

His “don’t give me there” shot didn’t work so well in that match…

[@thad1296]

Mika used to play for my old club (in Germany) back in the 2010's. So funny to see him here

[@RGP_Maths]

Mika used to be in Star Trek. I recognised the Starfleet uniform.

That was a pretty average shot to be honest

Yeah

[@jayfresh3159]

Love you guys, all the way from Nigeria❤

[@lukabosnjak3829]

4:43 great point! Also Mika has a great backhand...

[@FierceTable]

It's incredible how high of a level people can achieve without noticing what is and isn't working. During the first two games I'm not sure Mika knew Otto was left handed...maybe 3 points played to the backhand during those two games combined?! I love seeing these matches. Keep playing and keep posting. Good luck!

[@dingyibvs]

Wow, Otto looks like he's moving a lot better! He was beaten in the service/receive game though, Mika got to open up almost every time and in the end it was just too much to overcome for Otto.

[@nw2148]

i wonder if benedek won in the background

[@cronosvix9974]

He won

[@aseq2]

@@cronosvix9974 lol, ofc he won

[@jukkafilen5541]

Yes he did. He won the whole competition. He lost only one set in the competition,in men single final with Alex Naumi.

[@dragonluxart7752]

1:30 professor Otto

[@HamzaSaleem-ro8fj]

The background game finished quick. Seems like a 4-0 for benedek👀. Absolute legend!

[@cwolf208]

Is there a bracket online for this?

[@batcaver]

Otto you need to improve your backhand block, this will be the game changer when you're under pressure 😉

[@victoralcorta]

Nice match Otto, quick question, which rubbers are you using?

[@mydonkie1]

Pressured Otto’s backhand. And quite ruthless about it too. Took like 5-6 points in a row in the second or third game.

[@mydonkie1]

But well played Otto! It was wonderful watching your technique. Great game

[@Luca33600]

Does the real Miikka play the Championships as well?

[@jaff77]

otto makes the game look easy

[@lukabosnjak3829]

Look at Mika here... So calm and simply showing the experience and ball prediction

[@Jay-to-the-K]

No way Otto dud this at 1:29 !! 😮 Incredible ❤

[@wernerandreeloerts]

both players, well played!

[@olfiru2336]

Otto was nervous, tough way to go out.

[@aseq2]

Oh wow, i wasn't even paying attention in the 3rd game anymore, I thought he had it in the bag

[@andrebento2309]

What equipment Otto uses?

[@Dysproz96]

We see Otto , we see Mikka but why dont we see Emil

[@Baiko]

Emil hasn't played competitively in a decade, since he got injured. But because of that, we have Pongfinity.

[@funnylpl]

​@@Baikowhats his injury and how did he get injured

[@floorwolff3630]

Otto, you're such a good player. Such great technique and reading of the ball. You can force your own game game upon your opponent. I love to watch you play. But unfortunately, your mindset has much room for improvement. Don't you have a mental coach? Would be worth it. Small tricks like telling yourself (and believing) that it's 0:0 in this set, no matter what the real score is... You could also have a teammate analyse your opponent and your winning/losing points more during the match in order to give you hints on a working strategy. I think with just very little improvements, you will win against this (great playing) opponent anytime. As I said: Love to see you all play! Greetings from Austria

[@Theburritoboys]

Otto you can do this!!

[@cikif]

7:50 when you give him there

[@adlan1823]

Otto, what blade and rubbers are you using?

[@gamerbae5613]

1:18-1:19: around the net!!

[@Sakaki95]

am i the one hearing "f*ck" everytime Mika miss a point? and good match love to see this content!

[@tarunmathew2801]

Otto moves in slow motion

[@zhangatan]

Great match Otto, just need to work on that endurance. You're level of play decreases as your stamina runs out quickly

[@H.ros666]

I like Otto style, I use left hand to.

[@timharders]

Otto's serves seem super illegal, no?

[@rubberduck8096]

The way he tosses the ball diagonally, you mean? I was wondering that too.

[@jplanglais]

Your perception is skewed mainly because of the bad camera angle

[@timharders]

@@jplanglais but even when otto is on the other side (where we should technically be able to see more from that angle than the opponent) the ball is clearly covered

[@davidmitchell7645]

YES! Even at this 'high' level they get away with it. We have no chance of it being called at club level. It's not just poor officiating, the authorities couldn't give a money's. Clearly illegal.

[@einfallsloserhund7671]

Why are u complaining and not the enemies

[@HotDealsHunter]

great work otto

[@alk672]

Fun fact: since only 8 people play table tennis in Finland, the Finnish Championships starts directly with Quarter Final, and all you need to qualify is to show the passport and a paddle. Also, I believe there's this one dude who's an actual table tennis player, so he doesn't participate and just gets the gold medal 20 years in a row.

[@Mark_GL]

The hell you talking about? Benedek is playing behind them afaik.

[@alk672]

@@Mark_GL ah yeah I didn't even notice. That was a joke of course. But there's a lot of truth in that joke.

[@JonniP1]

Black and round, Pirelli.

[@Franky_1974]

Nice match, but not the best angle to watch .... 😞

Is anyone else watching Benedek play instead of otto

Che tipo di gomme usa Otto?

[@marcobalducci4143]

Did Miikka join this tournament?

[@kitwong8955]

Great serve from Mika

[@teachmesensei9146]

I dont want to be mean but i feel like you'r hiding a lot your serve. I know the camera is a bit on the left side of the table but a guy standing on the same side would have the same feeling no ?

[@IlikeBrawlhalla]

I'm competing in a tournament next month. Wish me luck!
