Princeton has the clearest identity of all four Championship Weekend teams. That identity starts at the top.

They have the #1 Power ranked player in MLTT.

Lineup

Coach Mathias Habesohn
Cho Seungmin (MLTT #1)
Benedek Olah (#20)
Jinxin Wang (#50)
Hsien Tzu Cheng (#40)
Jiangshan Guo (#61)
Koyo Kanamitsu (#44)

The Numbers

  • Portland beat Princeton 4-17 (Week 4) 
  • Portland beat Princeton 14-7 (Week 15)

Identity

The Revolution are a very top-heavy team. Everything starts with Cho Seungmin, who ranks as MLTT’s #1 player, but Benedek Olah also shows up when it matters. It doesn’t hurt to have two of MLTT’s best players, especially in an environment where one player can make a difference.

With that in mind, the Revolution are also structured and disciplined. Every player has a role that they excel at. Cho and Olah can take Singles 1 and 4. Koyo Kanamitsu and Jinxin Wang will likely handle Doubles duties, and one of them will be responsible for Singles 3. Hsien Tzu Cheng and Jiangshan Guo will alternate in Singles 2.

Why They Can Win

Cho can control any match, no matter where you put him. Singles? He wins 69.4% of his Singles games. Doubles? He’s got a league-leading 66.7% percentage in Doubles games. The Golden Game? He wins 62% of his points in the highest-pressure situation in any match.

Speaking of high-pressure situations, Olah delivers in those moments. He’s often tasked with Singles 4 responsibilities for a reason, and he routinely defeats the league’s best players. Few players are more reliable than Olah when it comes to tense moments.

The Challenge

Depth. If Cho and Olah do not deliver, matches open up. Those two players anchor the Revolution, and it will be much tougher for their supporting cast to pick up any mess they could make.

That’s the challenge with being a top-heavy team: so much depends on just a few players. For that reason, the Revolution will be tested more than ever before.

What to Watch

  • Cho’s dominance in singles
  • Olah in closing situations
  • Performance from positions 3-5

Princeton’s path to a Championship is clear:

  • Win the top matches
  • Stay even in the middle
  • Control the structure

And if they do so, the MLTT Cup could be theirs to lift.
