Back at it (at least for one tournament) 🔥😅
You guys are great!!
stay for more tournaments Emil. Its great to see u there.
Never give up Emil :'D
Wow, pongfinity! You were hearted bu pongfinity plus!
Nice Job Emil, there is a good sigh of relief after winning a match after nearly my whole lifetime
Petter Expectations: “This’ll be a good warmup match”
Petter Reality:
No
He: He is weak , he’s not going to win
The matchpoint reality too LOL
@@tamelnv7048 yes.
Emil has just a different play style than the other pongfinity guys and most other tournament players
Petter: “Who is this guy”
Petter : He’s weak, he’s not going to win
Petter in his head after the match : F*ck.
Petter as the game is progressing: PANIC MODE - - - PANIC MODE - - - PANIC MODE
Petter: wins game 1 and 2
(HAHA EMIL IS SO WEAK)
Emil: Proceeds to win game 3
Petter: oh shit Time to play seriously
*Emil wins game 4
Petter: Ok NOW I will play seriously and beat this weak man
*Emil wins game 5
Petter: ............. Shit
Well done Emil!
I think that "he's weak" was a joke because they are friends and played men's doubles together in the tournament
@@SomeOne-dr4lc, Either way, it created C O N T E N T, so it's good . . . for us, that is!
Wouldn't have wanted Petter to lose so badly if he hadn't said this :D
After 2 sets behind, Emil wins it by a decider! What a way for him to win his first comeback match! 🔥🔥🔥
Saving 4 match points to boot!
"He's not going to win"
Emil:
Hard core mode activated'
Considering this was his first tournament in 8 years , he did incredible. He can be proud!!
Why didn't he play? Did he get injured, or just stopped?

“And I took that personally” -Emil
Emil looks stronger than ever with his finishes. He must have put real hardwork! All the best man!
Everyone here is saying that Emil wasn't playing "defensive enough" for a defender, but I disagree.
In the first few matches the guy wouldn't loop his chops... he'd just push and then loop Emil's push, not giving Emil a chance to throw in any super spinny or deceptive dead chops, which is really a defenders game. Emil then switched to more aggressive offence and came back from 0-2. I'm a defender and when my opponent is playing more passive than *me*, I'm switching to full offense and taking control of the match.
Being a successful defender doesn't mean always chopping no matter what. It's about having more tools in your belt than the opponent and knowing how to use them accordingly.
A lot of defenders struggle against players that are more passive then them. Whenever someone uses long pips, I just keep doing long pushes because they won't attack anyway. And of course whenever the oppurtunity is there I smash the ball
This is very true, defenders really have to adapt to the opponent's playing style. In this match, after loosing the first two games, I was thinking that I'm giving too easy balls with my LP and he didn't have any difficulties with the chops, so I decided not to use my LP almost at all during the rest of the match and went for more offensive style with the forehand. That felt like the only possibility to get back to the match.
@@PongfinityPlus why did you decide to change from offence to defense?
@@PongfinityPlus If your beat chance to win was to ditch the pips, then why use pips? Your game would be even stronger with offensive rubber on the BH.
@@PongfinityPlus your forehand is awesome. the pips eould have made you lose.the other seems like a good player.he didnt make much mistakes
Whenever Emil misses a shot and looks at his bat all i can think is "the rubbers are too old"
The common reason why choppers always lose the first few sets and then making a comeback is because choppers need to get use to the opponent’s spin. This is why Joo sae Hyuk is an outstanding chopper because he can get use to the spins a lot quicker than other choppers.
Yeah but Emil wasn't playing like a chopper really.
Not true. Emil himself said they he stopped using his pips in order to win.
Emil rocking the classic Henry jersey! (Let’s go France 🇫🇷)
Allez!
Allen means: Go on!
Allez
Allez Emil !!! My favorite defender.
@@2ksubs248NAHHH, ALLEZ MEANS COMME ON!!
nice one Emil! always wanted a more serious channel like this one, and the Henry shirt definitely does the trick for me ♥
It makes me laugh that your opponent said before starting the game: "he's weak, he's not going to win!" In these cases in Italy we say: "The Last Famous Words". We all know how it ended: 3 sets you and 2 sets the opponent. Congratulations Emil. Greetings from Palermo (Sicily, Italy)
Italy also know what it's like to play against Thierry Henry 😛 Greetings from Paris, France
concordo pienamente. Greetings Emil from Palermo
@@vsantet42 France also know what it's like to play against Italy 🏆🌍06 😉
Barletta, Italy
We have the same saying in the UK too, it's "famous last words!"
@@Wally-H I think we say that everywhere, in France too we say famous last words for example
Nice! Hope you do more tournaments Emil keep believing in yourself!💯💪
this is exactly the content i wanna watch! cheers guys
I'm so glad you guys started this channel.
Well played Emil 👏🏻WHAT A COMEBACK 😍💪🏻
Congratulations Emil on your winning return 👏 🙌. Good Comeback and great to see you playing matches again. Hope to see you play many more tournaments in the future 👍
I did not no you had more then one channel.I love watching your videos you really got me better!
Last game, I'm feel very excited to see how score is going up one by one and feel proud about Emil never give up until the end. Congratz Emil!
Emil lost faith in the long pips as the match went on and kept blocking aggressively with the black side instead. I know the feeling when you feel that a part of your play is inconsistent so you avoid it haha keep on grinding Emil. Ping pong for life!!
Well you can still see that twidling confused the opponent a few times even though Emil is mainly using the inverted side.
Totally! Did everything to avoid the LP after loosing the first two games 😂 Need to practice a longer and more aggressive push with the LP to make it work better in the future!
Petter’s weakness from the get go is his return of serve. So many long serves for an attacking player like him to get in and his first thought is to chop every time
@@PongfinityPlus tell Emil to try Juic Neo Anti on BH and he ll love it!! Trust me..
@@PongfinityPlus have you considered switching to short pips which are better for blocking and flicking?
This is my most anticipated one of those!
You did great Emil! Glad to see you back
Great match Emil! Very enjoyable to watch.
Good job on showing your best! Awesome how close you were in skill
Petter: Je is weak
Emil after the game: that was a great warm up
I was moved by the way they fought so hard and their fighting spirit when they scored. Good job!
The chops are looking good emil, keep doing great job
what a comeback!! WOW!! great match Emil
Great match and great comeback. Not bad for so long since last tournament - well done.
Wish you Good Luck on your new channel
Эмиль - красава! Играть почаще и будешь на уровне Микки с Отто
Way to go Emil.. You deserved the win the way you went for your forehand shots all the way to the end. Well Done
I love that every other match had finished and the main event continued
Fun to see!
Tight game!
Emil, the game was great, you showed him that you are not weak, I was rooting for you. Keep up the good work👍👍👍👍
What a match!!! congrats Emil!
4 match points saved. Emil, way to show your mental toughness after your long hiatus from tournament play.
what a crazy reverse sweep! you couldn't ask for a more epic first match.
I feel like Emil need to play more defensively and definitely reduce some unnecessary twiddles. But this is nice
Definitely! Having played offensively always before, it feels very hard to set your mind into just going defensive, but that's exactly what it would require with long pips. And yeah, way too much unnecessary twiddles there! Simply need more training and matches to learn and get used to it all 🤔
@@PongfinityPlus I really like you all. You guys critique yourselves and you accept some feedbacks as well!
@@PongfinityPlus So why you switch to the long pips? you offensive style is very nice and successful?!
Footwork is another thing to focus on. Good to see you back though!
@@PongfinityPlus
Clearly his first opponent has almost no trouble with lp whatsoever, and that is a very bad omen for continuing any further them at all. Emil would do better to use short pips bh instead and play a block & drive style of game.
Dealt nicely with the heavy spin shots - well done.
Watching this is making me realize how hard it must be to switch to Long Pips after being an attacker. Emil is a better player than I will ever be, but even after training Long pips for over a year, it still looked awkward for him in this match. Lots of respect to Emil for all the effort he's putting in, and I'm looking forward to seeing him improve more.
OMG, what a thriller!!! Excellent match!!
Pongfinity is the best... i love it. Good, entertain match
Great Job Emil. You did a great job punishing his forehand loops off of your push shots, which were noticeably weaker than his backhand openers. Thanks for sharing and love watching this content.
Wow, that was tense. Some brave play by Emil at the end to get over the line. Too tense in the first couple of sets, too many unforced errors but better once he got into it. I can imagine Petter at the end trying to grab the camera to delete the first minute or so of footage ;)
Congrats Emil, great game.
You DID IT DUDEE! I'm so happy for you, best wishes from Ukraine :)
The king is back
Emil WHAT A COMEBACK!!!!👏
Is it just me or that Petter looks like Mikka
Way to go Emil!
Out there doing business.
What a win!
oh man, one of the greatest comebacks ive ever seen
I love the T-shirt
He literally made a huge comback
good job 👍
Great mental toughness from the chopping champion! Nice work Emil!
Congrats boss !!
That was a helluva match nice EMIL
What a match!!
Well done dude 🙌🏻
Holy crap how good are your nerves Emil?😅 Coming back after 4 Matchpoints in total with a really active way of playing deserves huge respect💪💪
What a great game finally Emil is in the rank list
This is why you should never underestimate your opponent and act toxic. Insane comeback and fair punishment
Well played man
We need more Emil matches
Close match! Ican feel those nerves well done 👏 👏 👏
Congratulations Emil !!
Peter: he’s not gonna win
Emil: are you sure about that?
All professional matches should be filmed with this angle 😍
Great comeback match!
Damm saved match points in all the last 3 games !
Well played, Emil. What a match
What a match, congrats to Emil
Wonderful match😍

Great match! He got stronger as it went on.
Thiery Henry kit, awesome!
From 0-2 to 3-2!
Never give up!
Congratulations Emil nice game
What a match!
OMG man, those games were colose, GJ Emil
I like how all other players are gone, only Emil's still there 😅😅
What a fight! Great mentality coming back from 0:2, saving match points, playing risky and strong shots in crucial moments. Well done Emil! Some things to improve on in my opinion (some things have already been said in the comments tho):
- unnecessary twiddling. You don't seem go play killshots or anything with the backhand anyway - it looks like you just try to get the ball on the table with the grippy sponge. You're neither gonna improve your pimple play that way, nor do you really force your opponent into mistakes. If anything, it gives the opponent the opportunity to play a confident winner.
- footwork! Plenty of forehand errors because you didn't move to the ball well/quickly enough (specifically when the opponent plays into your FH side)
- similar, but not the same: positioning. You get caught on your elbow too often, which forces you into playing an awkward shot. Either commit to playing pimples and position yourself a little further to the right, or try to play forehand 60-70% of the table - then you need to be further left
Oh the suspense...
Congrats
Great Match, Emil!
The most satisfying moment is emil defeating peter
And before match started he said “He is too weak, He cant win” tht win was savage reply by emil
I pray tht u pongfinity guys keep playing tournaments and win medals
BTW, I m Manav from India
Huge fan of u guys
I have been following u guys from past 2 yrs
Great Emil!
Man this match was a killer
Let’s go Emil 🥳
Remontada !Gg Emil!🔥💯
I like that they don't shout, even though this was a challenging match that can get you nervous, they don't scream to get the opponent in bad mood, just table tennis baby.
What a comeback emil 👏👏
