Congrats To Mika

His play in the Final reminded me of the beatdown he received from Jason Shaw in 20 minutes last summer only this time he was giving the beatdown to someone else. Nearly flawless in the final, made it look easy.
 
GJ Mika!

I don't wanna be harsh, but where were the SVB, Appleton, etc?


SVB was in China for a big Chinese 8 ball event. John Morra as well.

Daz is taking some time off.

I want to watch the final again, it happened so fast I missed a TON and I was there. Also Hunter Lombardo was in the booth on commentary and I'm interested in his take on it all.

Congratulations to Mika, it seems he has been steadily in on Sundays in the last few turning stones, and was able to take this down. Well done.
 
Gratz for Mika!!

Ps. I'm really pleased to see Mika focused to game. I see he's been doing some work with his game lately. I expect him to get results soon![/QUOTE]

I kept thinking the exact same thing. The only difference really is, Jayson really had the pool gods on his side throughout the match. For Mika yesterday, it's as though the pool gods got out of his way. I mean, I would too. He was running like a freight train.
 
Yeah, a 5-pack and a 3-pack in the finals…only one other person had a 3-pack in the whole tournament according to AtLarge stats….Amazing performance! Edit: AtLarge corrected me that these stats were based only on the streamed matches...

My info relates to only the 23 streamed matches, not all of the matches in the tournament.
 
New cue? Still MEZZ?

Mika was playing with a Mezz Exceed cue, as was Oscar. Mika has a new custom cue coming from Mezz, so this is his temporary cue for now.

Mika said he was playing with the WX900 shaft until he lost to Erik and went to the B side, then switched to the WX700 and went through the field to win.

Yeah, I was interested in hearing what Hunter had to say, too. He was trying to describe what Mika was doing differently, but our good friend Eddy Culhane kept interrupting him and he finally gave up. :mad:

Thanks, would love to hear his opinion on ExPro shaft...

Hunter was saying that Mika now kept his chalk in his pocket (right front) instead of the table as part of his new routine. The rest was muted by Eddy.

Then don't be...this was simply a thread congratulating Mika, not speculating as to why so and so was or wasn't there. Are you implying that it wasn't as quality of a win?
