Very nice from Otto wearing red so we can spot him easily in the audience
Ruben Steinmetz what about the beard?
What about his glossy forhead
Ruben Steinmetz I was wondering if the red one was otto, and then I looked at the left corner there was another guy that looked like otto
Why did Otto not play?
ziyao sun if you mean the whole thing, I’m not sure, maybe he’d already have played but he’s not playing because it’s not his game if that’s what you mean?
Otto sitting there like: That's my boy!
Lmao
Ikr!!
@@funofficial2651 I hope never
😂😂😂
Haha
Imagine being Alex, in the lead by 2 sets, about to win. Now imagine being Alex 30 minutes later, where you realize you're up against the main character with plot armor.
😂😂
XD
while watching this i was literally like...holy shit miikka has plot armor
Yeah that didn't age well against benedek tho
@@parthacharya42069 No it does, I don't think I've seen a single sport anime let the main characters win in the finals yet.
Alex win point : 1 clap
Mikka win point : THOUSAND CLAP
True
people like supporting the losing side. it felt like a movie 🙂👍
I think its mikka club . So its normal all guys supported mikka
@@dsalainti it’s not the people, it’s the video cut, do you even have observation ability
@@Ryan-hf4pe simmer down and dont ruin our name with your harsh words
Otto sitting in the crowd, cheering for his friend.
Everyone liked that.
Video switches to Camera 2, so we cannot see Otto.
Nobody liked that.
That was thoughtful/nice
Sensei making his presence known in the audience
Ottoooo
otto right?
Lmfao 😆😆😆
Lmao he’s so big and he’s wearing red
lol
Are we going to ignore the fact that Miikka saved 9 match points?
this was sooo stressfulllllll
Haha, that was stressfull
I watched it after seeing the final highlights soooo....
What a comeback
Yes
The next time I play ping pong and win a point
Me: “CHOI”
Elliot Kuo ‘Choi’, also means vegetable in Cantonese...
Cho (le)
@@mintykookieee Yep
C'mon if you don't say chole after a point, you are not a table player
As a finnish person, I have no idea what he said, but definitely didn't say choi or anything like that, because that's not even a word in the finnish language.
Me sitting in my bed in the dark:
"OI COME ON MIKKA GET THE COMEBACK!"
Haha yeah
Clock is when you comment this 6 do you sleep that time
@@dbdsuomi8254 i'm not in usa
@@gabriel.tcoelho im from finland
@@dbdsuomi8254 oh i'm in brazil
One of the most intense matches I’ve ever seen
Well said.. i could feel it when watching
Not gonna lie, this is so intense
Miikka's grit and determination to save all 9 match points is amazing
What a comeback from Miikka, from 3-1 lossing to 3-4 winning. Congratulations
2 reasons why Mikka won:
1. He is a great player.
2. Halfway through the match he told Alex he trained in a Sumo costume.
Nice one
3. Alex got injured
Anyway was a awesome game and I'm happy for Mikka
Now he has a opportunnity to be focus in the final. Because this game he was very deconcentrated
Bird Dude You’re so right
It also helps when you have a Sensei as a teacher
thanks for the spoiler
Alex: has matchpoint Miikka: Hold my beer 🍺
Yeah. Like Djokovic vs Federer.
Probably because his opponent was hurt but still good effort
@@heitord5539 Idemo Nole! Djoker rules
Otto:hold my beard
It's really sad to see that Alex hold his back in the beginning of the fourth set, that means his back was hurting. My back is hurting too, when I play table tennis, I know this pain. I hope his back problem is better now
I have to agree, it's super difficult to play at your max or fluid with injury. I don't want to disrespect mikka but it was a factor
Yeah after the 4th set he’s basically in pain after each round, really sad too see
I only saw Mikka's plays at first, but it's true, the other guy was in pain man. Terrible scene.
Look at his reaction when he scores 9:45 and look at it when he loses 9:51 I don't doubt that back pain but It kind off seems like an excuse
6:41 Alex hurt his back, u can see he hold his back after every single loop. so Miikka can have a chance to win. Still a insane come back.
Yes a comeBACK
Well yes he hurt his back and that's his fault and Mikka had a great comeback he started playing better anyway so.
Alex started holding his back and grimacing after big moves when he was far ahead in lead. There was no faking.
I also saw that, Miikka played well, but Alex had the better odds before his back started hurtung
Although Miika played well, Alex hurting his back is instrumental to Miika’s comeback. I feel like not enough people talk about this. It’s still a fair game, but it is a shame we couldn’t see both players at their best from start to finish.
Miikka saved what like 9 match points? You're truly amazing man and congrats!!
11
I counted 10, correct me if wrong
@@LivioRousseau it's 9
9 match point saves
Alex got his back tweeked or sth on the 5th game so thats that
Only on the second watch through did I notice Alex was suffering from lower back pain. It made my heart go out to him. Good fight, Alex.
Yeah 6:48
@@Ganthium Also 7:36, 9:14, 9:53, 10:04, 10:23 and many other spots. At times he hits his back with his hands, tries to shake out his legs, and other things that make it clear something popped out of place and he's in pain and trying unsuccessfully to get it properly aligned again. This sort of thing has happened to me before while playing sports and it can be excruciating. Coupled with the fact that he was “trapped” in the crucial match while experiencing that... I can imagine how he must have felt. I was of course cheering for Miikka the whole way, it was so intense and an amazing comeback. Way to go Miikka! But only on closer inspection did I realize what an amazing warrior Alex is.
@@danielvideos575 Yeah! And then having to play a 16:18 set? A 3:4 Match? What an amazing performance!
That Alex guy was legit too
Alex was a great player and a true warrior
11:27 look how heads on public moving :D
nice catch
No shit, they were looking at the ball
Alex: I’m going to the final, I only have to win this point
Mikka: ArE YoU SuRe AbOuT ThAt?
Camera: switches to number 2 Everyone: ah nuts now we can’t see Otto anymore
also the second camera wasn't as good quality
Yep
i can still see him xd
paper2222 Otto is out of frame when they changed Camera.
Alex: *win 3 games
Mikka: *activate killer mod
Dude got injured
Ти лох
Я люблю МАЙНКРАФТ
He won 3 games AND had match point
Wishful Thinking Really?
Somebody has to say it: 9 MATCH POINTS SAVED
9-NINE MATCH POINTS SAVED
Fantastic mental strength, spirits, everything. Really deserved the luck he had on last shot.
Truly inspiring.
this has got to be the most aggressive clapping i've ever heard
Everyone: I can see Otto
Μπραβο
just saw him too
Me: I cannot
Adam Kawaler he sat in the audiences and he is in a red jacket
@@Nick-xx2xz I meant I didn't realise before reading comments, but thanks :)
Otto just sitting in the crowd
I love his beard
Dave Franta yeah I noticed him too
He really do be Vibing doe 😳
@@funofficial2651 shit tf up
What an incredible game. Unreal focus and determination from Miikka there, especially in the 6th set to stay in the game. Congratulations!
9:27 the best point of the match
He caught the ball too
2:15
No
Alex is really a good player hats off to him 👏🏻👏🏻
Yeah, world ranked inside the top 300. This was a big win for Mikka, he was the underdog.
Oh, no doubt Alex's is a MUCH better player... he tore a muscle in his back after he was demolishing Mikka 6:49 7:04
Poor Alex.... Seems like the audience really favored you over him.
I belive the tournament was held at their home gym, at least its the same tables, the same floor and the same audience gallerys so its pretty clear why miikka was favoured.
Omg I didn't even notice the first time I watched!!! I went back to see what you were talking about....just wow I feel so bad for him too. Literally dead pan silence when he wins a point
I noticed silence on both sides for a long time... but yeah poor Alex :(
That's true, the was match was played at our home hall
OMG 😱 pongfinity
I wish there were more of these on the channel. It's really fun to watch you guys play tournament matches.
I don't know why, but the point at 9:27 was so epic to me. Crazy rally, ended with Miikka very casually catching the ball and fist pumping all while looking away already. Epic
The moment, when miika makes the 19th point. Legendary
Alex gets point: 👏👏👏
Miikka gets point: JAJAJAJAJAJAHAHAHAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJA🤲👏🤲👏🤲👏
2:51 Alex bit his racket!!!!
Om nom nom
He also threw it onto the table twice. New rubbers required at the end I think
A true nailbiter! It really went all the way. I watched this with 2 years of delay and still I held my breath at the end.
9:32 that catch! It seems miikka has finally achieved ultra instinct
In fact, the ball is not very fast guy... all casual player can catch this ball without problem 😂👍
let him make a joke, holy shit...
@@WasareSquare09 im sure you cant take that ball either
@@harithje8181 not every time yes 😉 i see u want to be arrogant but im not blessing because u seems like jealous
@@WasareSquare09 he was trying to make a joke ok?

underrated !
2:15 The best point in the match,well done guys,amazing game
2:51
Alex: *loses a point
*also alex "Time to eat my ping pong bat"

Nobody:
Camera 1: aight imma head out
Everyone talking about Otto and miika, don't forget to mention Alex he played an incredible match!
TechNik Idk abt that man, one thing is for sure tho, he is a certified choker and a professional loser🤷♂️
@@raiderlevie1791 he clearly had back pain
Raider Levie you say that but I’m sure that he’d destroy you if you were playing against him. So think and then talk.
JerT 54 : Le BG He can be better than me all he wants, the fact of the matter is that he puts time and money into this which leads to him choking and losing in which in my book, I call a professional loser, kinda like yourself. Except you are a lot softer😂😂😂
He is trying unlike you sitting there and calling him a loser
Looks like Alex tweaked his back early in game 5 and wasn't the same after. Great win by Miikka though for sure!
What an actual best, great jooob Mikkaaaa, during your match I felt like I was there and played with you haha, incredible and congrats
2:28 : rage (x0,25)
Hahaaha
The loud clapping coming from the other semi-final is driving me insane.
Same XD
YES
I'll be honest with you, That Alex guy is the better player, you can see it in his strokes. But man Miikka was clutch in that 6th game!! Great job, I want to see who played you in the finals.
What an incredibly exciting match! Very strong and patient that you defended nine match balls for Alex💪
Bro amazing and my congratulations for de channel friends!!
Half of the viewers concentrated more on Otto than on Miikka.😂
Though, Amazing match Miikka! You are an inspiration to many😍
11:47 - *Battery on camera 1 dies*
Me: See's the new camera
Also me: Now this is a real ITTF match!
Bob Jones This was still in better quality
@@paruh5901 I agree
Why can't you just type out a simple sentence without it being lame meme culture garbage... It comes off so incredibly cringe... "Battery on camera 1 dies
. See's the new camera... Now THIS is a real ITTF match!" there, fixed it for the non 12 year olds...
@@obZen327 get a life
@@obZen327 that... doesn't make sense anymore? thanks for "fixing" it lol
Sensational stuff miikka. Playing at ur best when with back against the wall. Saving about two hundred match points. Great fight, great stamina. You deserved that one. Congratulations!
Very nice match saving there man! I really like the video like this👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow! Well played! That is the most focused I have ever seen Miikka. It was a very intense match! He made a spectacular comeback and saved 9 match points, and then won. Well played Both of you, keep up the great work!
Miikka ping pong stereotype: the barrier-knocking guy 🤣😂 11:33
🤣🤣🤣
Such an intense match! Very enthralling.. excellent comeback!!
It's amazing to see them play so serious 👏🙀
That was INCREDIBLE Miikka! The 6th set was amazing, coming back from 10-6 the opponent had 4 match points, just an incredible performance. Well done.
Otto:
11:03 This is too stressful. I'ma go grab a beer.
11:23 Ight, I'm back.
Why did I read that with Otto's voice and accent? lol
You realize that’s not Otto right
@@skytrexz3714 yes it is.
100 subs with 1 playlist? No Otto has a beard
Sky TrexZ are you blind he has a beard lol
Congrats on the game!
What a great return
12:42 best reaction of mikka
legendarischh
Haah!😩
9:28 ACCURACY
Shashank Narayan skill
Shashank Narayan it was the edge
Great match, Alex is very fast and impulsive player, some of his shots are very risky but it has been paying off until the very end where he seemed exhausted to me. Great will to win Miikka !
incredible match and congratulations for the 2M!!!!!!!!!
9:31, just the casual catch into the celebration just smooth
12:40 Mikka: Haahh😂
I thought no one noticed lol
amazing resilience... *NEVER GIVE UP!*
Captivating match. Amazing!
Easily the most intense and entertaining table tennis match I have watched! 19-17 set was such an amazing comeback.
Amazing match. Great comeback from Miikka.
It seems as if Alex hurt his back somewhere around the 4th set. Hope he’s fine.
This was a great match to watch! Great performance by both players! Great save by Miikka.
Grandissima partita, incredibile, sono senza parole
9:50 imagine the pressure on miikka
Yeees. Amazing. The comeback from 6 - 10 behind was insane.
Great come back!
What’ a great comeback! Really thought he had you there, one of the most intense matches I’ve ever seen
Alexx was stronger but failed to finish.
goku looked like he was suffering from lower back pain at some point
@@abhinavkrothapalli3224 not sure about that. he didn't seem handicapped.
Abhinav K well, we can’t be sure about it, he didn’t put his hands on the back when he scored, it could be very well a habit when you lose a close point. Anyway, get injured in a crucial match can happen to anyone, I know how it is...
Very interesting match. Miikka and Alex are basically mirror images of each other! Both are very athletic, vocal, fast-paced players. Just one is lefty and one is righty!
Spoilers.
Never underestimate how much the crowd can work on a player. That 6th set was the big turning point. Alex had been working well being the only encouragement for himself up until then. You'll notice that in the 7th set, he no longer is celebrating his points. The 6th set really pulled the wind out of his sails with that prolonged deuce battle, and he never recovered. He stopped going for shots that he was reaching for only 2 sets ago. The crowd, especially the guy tending the first camera (was it Emil?), really didn't help. It's like they realized the power they had over the match and got louder and louder as it went. The difference between the massive applause when Miikka scored and the silence when Alex scored was palpable.
Anyway, very interesting. Looking forward to the finals match.
Unreal comeback and such a dramatic finish in set 5! Congrats Miikka!
The comeback in the sixth set was insane, Mikka played with a lot of intensity
Who was stressed like me in the 6th even though I knew he'd win ? I was like c'mon Miikka
I did not know he would win, so i was really stressed :D
Freaking amazing! With difference, the best table tennis match I've seen in my life. Can't wait to the final!!!!!
Miikka's sooooo good! I love his style of play. That's whyy he's my favourite TT player ❤️🏓
Great Match! Congrats!
Amazing match Miikka! Also lucky at the end. Well done
One of the best to watch matches ive ever seen - What a mental strength... Insane!!!
11:00 thats a pongfinity comeback

Could have been because of back pain.
