Cho Myung-woo lost 35-50 to Dick Jaspers (world No. 1, Netherlands) in 27 innings in the final of the 2024 Porto World Cup 3 Cushion in Porto, Portugal on the 14th (Korea Standard Time). As a result, Cho Myung-woo attempted to win twice in total following the 2022 World Cup of Sharm el-Sheikh World Cup of Cushion in Egypt, but unfortunately, he was postponed to the next opportunity.
It was not easy from the beginning of the game. Cho Myung-woo and the Jaspers started the first inning with three runs and two runs, respectively, but Cho Myung-woo only hit two or three innings and scored one run in four innings, while the Jaspers scored 12 points, making a big difference from the beginning. Until the break time, the game was the same. The Jaspers scored 27 points in nine innings and Cho Myung-woo only scored one from five to eight innings, breaking time by 5-27, 22.
Cho Myung-woo, who needed a mid- and second-half turnaround in the game, had difficulty accumulating points due to the Jaspers' seasoned game management. In the second half of the game, Cho Myung-woo had an opportunity with 26-45 situations in 25 innings. He scored a whopping nine high runs and trailed 35-45. However, the ball towards the 10th point of the High Run was a waste, and no more opportunities came, and the game ended in a victory for the Jaspers, with the Jaspers winning the remaining five points in 27 innings. Final Everidge is Cho Myung-woo 1.346 and Jaspers 1.851.

In the group qualifying round, Everidge was 1.777, but he showed off his explosive attack with a high run of 20 points and a three-point Everidge in the quarterfinals and an Everidge 2.941 against Turkiye in the semi-finals. Everidge recorded 2.048 in the tournament.
With many international competitions scheduled in the second half of this year, attention is being paid to whether Cho Myung-woo, the world's No. 1, will be able to restore his self-esteem by showing his previous performance.
