Air-hockey showdowns are always fun to watch. However, today’s viral video portrays an intense back-and-forth of epic proportions between two air hockey athletes. With the very onset of the game, things looked extremely competitive between the two. As the crowd looked eagerly at the low-friction tabletop, the discs held by both athletes seemed to be building up a storm. Ultimately, one of the players did manage to break the defense of the other one, much to the ecstasy of the audience. 

The video, reposted by SportsCenter was a short yet intense clip. We witness the scene opening with a duo battling it out in an air hockey game. One of them was wearing a grey and black-colored half-sleeve t-shirt with black pants.
