Last week, the defending champion proved that 2022 wasn't the result of a weak field as he handily defeated Ivory Upchurch in a 4 game sweep. This week, 2 former allies and friends find themselves in a showdown for a spot on the main stage as the #2 and #3 seed battle. Kevin Steinfeld tries to prove his legitimacy in this league while trying to cool Michael Scarlett's hot hand. The Boys of Summer are back! 7 Players square off in a high stakes Table Tennis tournament, the second annual Chaotically Intolerant Classic as they all try to take the trophy back from defending Champion Armen Boyajian. Commissioner Alex Boyajian, reeling from his loss in the 2022 Championship, is learning to balance his duties as Commissioner while keeping his game sharp for his own title run. This season features 4 rookies, including Michael Scarlett, who enters the playoffs on a 21 game win streak which includes sweeps of Armen Boyajian and Alex Boyajian.

ER he can put some weird spin on the
0:55
ball which can definitely
0:56
throw you off if you're not patient and
1:00
anticipating it
1:01
you know these guys play against each
1:03
other all the time so it's not like
1:05
they're unfamiliar with their game I
1:08
feel like Kevin was the person that had
1:11
to take down Michael Kevin is just so
1:13
good at returning it sometimes a decent
1:15
sized highlight reel could be made out
1:17
of those games they were pretty crazy
1:19
how much the ball was going back and
1:21
forth fourth and how fast it was going
1:23
and stuff like that

make a little bit of adjustment to
4:51
at least provide a relatively somewhat
4:54
competitive game you know he just he's
4:57
putting out of his mind but Michael I
4:59
think Michael was playing well even for
5:02
him I think he was playing
5:04
better than than like his average day I
5:06
think he was really kicking ass

Michael to win in the first place
6:13
however like I said previously Kevin is
6:15
just so good at returning it sometimes
6:18
and um
6:21
there was just some crazy volleys yeah I
6:24
couldn't believe it was that much I hate
6:26
to say a blowout
6:28
you know 2114 isn't isn't bad but the
6:32
21-8 you know that's that's a tough one
6:34
and
6:37
that I think that just truly shows how
6:39
good Michael is
6:41
with with how insane of a player that
6:44
that Kevin himself is Kevin was getting
6:48
a bit frustrated by the wind it seemed
6:50
and he wasn't adapting accordingly in
6:54
the beginning
6:55
um and I I don't know I felt I was
6:58
pretty comfortable playing with windy
7:01
conditions and I I was able to hit some
7:04
pretty dominating shots on him and threw
7:09
him off a bit no no I didn't have any
7:11
comments no no not avoiding the series I
7:13
you know I was hoping for a game I was
7:15
hoping you know that was my my only my
7:18
realistic motivation there was to be the
7:21
only one to take the game off him you
7:23
know in the regular season I I almost I
7:26
was I had Match Point against him and
7:28
then lost uh you know 23 to 21 so I I
7:33
was like I was kind of holding it onto
7:35
that in my mind and it's like something
7:36
like okay yeah maybe I can you know it
7:39
was hit one game that would be a feel
7:41
like a victory but uh that you know the
7:44
way the way he was playing in
7:46
was uh
7:48
tapping into his competitive mindset
7:50
there's he wasn't going to lose
