GJ Mika!
I don't wanna be harsh, but where were the SVB, Appleton, etc?
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.
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!
New cue? Still MEZZ?
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.
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.![]()
