Miami NICE 😎

We knew it could get wild in Florida. But not THIS wild.

Our Week 9 event at Broward Table Tennis Club delivered a rollercoaster of jaw-dropping moments, unexpected upsets, and gravity-defying points like the one below between Bay Area’s Eric Jouti and Florida’s Marc Duran.

Disclaimer: MLTT is not responsible for any blown minds after viewing this highlight.

Here’s another thing Florida delivered: More MLTT sellout crowds. Our advice? Tap the big red button below right now if you want to see America’s first professional table tennis league in Charlotte, NC or Katy, TX — otherwise it might be too late.

There’s plenty to cover in this edition of the MLTT Weekly Roundup powered by Butterfly. Let’s get after it!

Big Broward Battles 🌴

We did the tough work of weeding out Broward’s absolute best moments. And we feel confident enough to say this might be one of MLTT’s most outstanding weeks… OF ALL TIME

The Bay Area Blasters were Broward’s biggest winners, riding another Lily Zhang appearance to a 3-0 weekend record. Take a peek at MLTT’s updated standings with three regular-season events to go. It’s going to be a mad dash.
