Monday @ 7pm - Money in the Bank [2-1] vs Xtreme 8Ball [1-2]
Pommy & company almost lost, again, to who? The week prior they escaped EPC and this past week were lucky to not force a ninth game with Freedom. What is going on? They have talent, we've all heard them at any table they're at, but why aren't they crushing competition like they should? This match is the one to prove I'm just typing to see my self type and MIB can win, doesn't matter of the score. Players like Conner, Mike, Matt & Pommy will be key to this weeks match. For X8B, its breaking back to even after a tough start. With one of the toughest schedules to start the season, James & Benny know if they can keep up with everyone during the first half of the season, they'll be more then able to coast through the last half and finish high in the standings. They are quite capable of a big win over a what seems to be struggling MIB squad, but will need players like boo, Adam, Corey & the captains to do such.
Prediction - 5-4 X8B
Monday @ 7pm - Freedom [0-3] vs True Champs [0-3]
After losing a frustrating match to MIB in which they had a solid chance to win, Freedom will get to regroup against a struggling TC squad, but need to still take it seriously. Their key players are having a tough time starting this season up but if they get on key quickly, they in my eyes, have a solid chance at reaching the playoffs. TC are still rebuilding but got into MLP so they must be doing something right. TC have a good squad in Mario, Mike & Kassi among many, but just don't have the experience & patience needed to win against the big dogs. Many of their matches are real close, but they don't have that extra push to get to the 8 ball in many games, but as their core develops I seem them doing well in the future.
Prediction - Freedom 5-2
Wednesday @ 7pm - Break n Run [3-0] vs Extreme Pool Competitors [1-2]
Reminiscent of some heated IPA battles, these 2 sides come in on different angles. Dina is leading her squad high & clear. With some of the best talent on her side, and league activity up for now, Dina cant complain with anything. Ideal team with her ideal league clicking away more then most. EPC haven't clicked much lately but have just passed their 1 year anniversary. Many said EPC wouldn't last more then a month, ditto with PRO, but here they are, and a dangerous team as well. While they lost 5-0 to LPL this past week, the score doesn't do them justice as many of the games were close and just a week before they did take MIB to the wire. Dina will need to keep the pedal on the floor to avoid an upset minded EPC squad here.
Prediction - 5-3 BnR
Thursday @ 6pm - Pool Fiction [1-2] vs Simply Pool Souls [0-3]
PFN usually have slow starts and while they'll be 2-2 after this week [oh no! Spoiler!], it doesn't do them justice. A squad containing Miz, Brent & Pita you think would get more wins but apparently not [Sean, you're good at pool too, start playing]. PFN end their season on a tough streak, so they'll need to hop into the play-off picture with some padding soon if they look to avoid missing the playoffs in the past 2 carry seasons. For SPS, they beat TC last week which will instill confidence but its still a long journey ahead for Jason & Heather. The WPC duo certainly have the team that can upset PFN if they're on their game and PFN isn't, but it's a stretch and while Jason is a great player, he cant do it alone.
Prediction - 5-3 PFN
Thursday @ 7pm Latino Pool Legends [3-0] vs Magic Pool [3-0]
For the fourth straight week, the marquee match-up is in the late Thursday slot. LPL are expected to be here but MP? Apart from their week 1 hiccup with EP, they have just dominated both X8B and PFN since. This will be their real test though. Both these sides seem to have players going the distance in the tournaments which should prove for some highly contested play. LPL will be led by none other then Ant [Who I believe is 4-1] and possibly the best supporting cast around, but names on paper don't decide a match. Trey leads a solid squad including Croz & Jordy who will both need to be on their A game if they look to get past a strong LPL squad.
Prediction - 5-4 LPL
