It all comes down to this, will there be a repeat champion or a new king will rise?

0:22

God bless

0:25

and gentlemen

0:50

you're kidding dude get that cheeky

0:53

stuff out of here

0:54

oh my God you're not Armin you know me

0:58

that's a good game

1:09

that made me feel better uh 21-10 thank

1:12

you Michael okay

1:13

yes yes backs against the wall right

1:21

he was just playing really well at that

1:23

point in time

1:30

it was very exciting

1:41

well Kevin does really well with is he

1:44

doesn't give up on the play

1:50

he's a better player

1:55

it's a little bit of a gust of wind

2:00

Just Clips it off that table

2:25

thank you

3:46

you know at this point I'm I'm kind of

3:49

freaking out as a commissioner because

3:51

besides me and Kevin every round was a

3:55

sweep I'm like okay

3:57

who's gonna avoid the sweep against

3:59

Michael is it gonna be Kevin

4:03

or is it gonna be my father

4:14

I was just like there's just no way that

4:17

he can you know overtake Armin

4:26

last season he destroyed the competition

4:33

I know most the guys behind the scenes

4:36

were betting on Michael

4:45

but he played even better

4:48

and who left no doubt

5:10

I wasn't feeling as

5:13

confident and comfortable as I was last

5:15

time I played Armin

5:39

his serve is pretty wild and erratic

5:48

thank you

6:05

but yeah basically I just kept the

6:07

mindset to stay calm and collected and

6:10

just trust and uh trust in my abilities

6:59

game one yeah I had a pretty substantial

7:03

lead and then it comes sucker serve and

7:05

that's where that's where Armin really

7:07

excels this is a sucker serve because he

7:10

he has just the most wild surf in the in

7:13

the tournament so and he he really took

7:16

advantage of the five serves rule maybe

7:19

run for a couple balls to pick him up

7:21

throw it back over to him but you know

7:23

that's all right he maybe would get a

7:25

couple points off that but uh in the end

7:28

I secured game one

7:31

it's just better

7:34

but he is beatable because I obviously

7:37

did better than my first outing with him

7:39

and I'm learning some weaknesses about

7:42

him that I shall not share

8:13

thank you

8:51

thank you

9:26

in 2004

9:42

Aaron Boone home run and game seven of

9:51

and my dad lost 21 to eight in game

9:54

three going down 0-3 getting his ass

9:58

kicked I think my dad scoring the eight

10:00

13:25

game four was was a lot I I actually

13:29

went into game four thinking that

13:31

it would be similar to game three which

13:34

would be kind of a pretty decisive win

13:37

um but he he surprised me and uh maybe

13:42

everyone else but he he looked More

13:43

Alive than ever ready to ready to come

13:46

back and win the whole thing so you know

13:49

it was a real competition I was trying

13:51

trying my hardest out there and uh I

13:55

believe so was he I was like wow I

13:57

really just won the whole thing and I

13:59

just didn't drop a game

14:01

um so it was more of a shock feeling but

14:04

what shocked me even more was was the

14:07

water that was poured all over me I just

14:09

didn't expect that to happen

14:11

it was pretty funny so I just got soaked

14:14

after the game after I just won so a lot

14:17

of a lot of shock value in there that's

14:19

that's how it felt after this is uh I

14:22

hate Michael this is good he's a good

14:24

kid

14:25

they're all good kids after game three

14:28

you lost 21-8 there are some comparisons

14:30

being made to the 2004 Red Sox losing

14:34

game three

14:37

going down 3-0 and losing game three

14:40

getting crushed and then you were coming

14:44

back late in game four so yeah

14:48

so what do you have to say about that

14:50

that the pressure get to you at the end

14:52

of game four no it's just a better

14:54

quarter at that time

14:56

that was all there was to it my brand

15:00

he's a better player he deserved to win

15:03

that's for sure the whole thing and he's

15:07

good good

15:11

thank you

15:27

I need a commissioner to help me make an

15:30

unbiased decision

15:49

we gotta talk about the retirement

15:51

rumors

15:52

what rumors

15:54

I still might retire because I'm still

15:56

demoralized it takes a while to get over

15:58

that so you cannot commit

16:01

I love either
