Week Two

Week 1 Results:

Extreme Cues def. Straight Shots 5-2 - We all knew EC would be good this season, but dayum Straight Shots, better hope Gary starts playing.


Pool Fiction def. Break and Run 5-3 - Based off the rosters, it really could have gone either way, the rematch will be a tasty one.


Freedom def. Sexy Poolerz 5-1 - While everyone may be thinking Brice is a fool, Freedom simply came out firing in this one. Once he gets his team together, SP will be one to look out for.

Streak Breakerz def. 8Ball Crushers 5-3 - Got this one wrong, fire me please!

Latin Pool Legends def. Pool Dragonz 5-3 - Can't bring 3 players to every match, not sure how you can only bring 3 when it takes 4 to run a swiss only hours earlier.


Monday @ 6pm - Freedom [1-0] vs Straight Shots [0-1]
Freedom had the biggest win in week 1, and may very well once again in week 2. With players like Andy and Mike yet to play for Petey, he certainly has a rotation to thump teams every week, should they actually show. Straight Shots on the other hand, not much of a rotation, yet anyways. Hopefully Gary, Shelle, Pita or whoever is running that show, have some tricks up their sleeves because their week 1 effort wasn't that great, and while it's only one week, they better make sure it doesn't continue. Freedom always have great starts to interleagues, while Straight Shots seem to always start slow, so based off that very meaningful observation, Freedom should win, unless Pita continues his hot form to this season. 3/3 in tournaments so far? DAYUM PITA YOU DA MAN!

Prediction - Freedom 5-3, Pita 3-1.


Tuesday @ 6pm - 8Ball Crushers [0-1] vs Sexy Poolerz [0-1]
These two teams lost last week, and sadly, one will do so again, stunning observation amirite? The crushers, who were once my dark horses of IPA once upon a time, have the talent to come back and win without a doubt, but so does SP if Brice gets all his boys to the yard cause damn right, his milkshake is better then yours. Kev can carry against just about any team, so getting him is almost as necessary as internet these days. For 8bc, the same lineup can very well take out SP. They have a solid 5 players that can win 2-3 on any night as long as luck is on their side.

Prediction - Sexy Poolerz 5-3


Tuesday @ 7pm - Streak Breakers [1-0] vs Pool Fiction [1-0]
These two undefeated sides square off in a match that isn't match of the week. THRILLING! Streak Breakers were able to get past 8bc last week in thanks to Matt and Joe, who apparently is going to win MVP, look out Chris. Pool Fiction is a bit tougher then 8bc some might say, and Joe will need help if he looks to lead his side, past a side of his past. Pool Fiction has rebuilt since some poor season on their behalf, and rebuilt they have. After being the reigning champions, you could put forth an early but useless argument that the championship will come down to either PFN or LPL. Valid, but useless. Pool Fiction have a small but consistent line-up, and that shouldn't be an issue at all this week.

Prediction - Pool Fiction 5-2

Wednesday @ 7pm - Pool Dragonz [0-1] vs Break and Run [0-1]
After reaching the finals last season, both teams haven't got off to a start to put them back on track, but a win here could. Pool Dragonz failed pretty hard last week, unable to take advantage of a 3-man LPL squad last week, while Break and Run just didn't have the fire power to play with Pool Fiction. Pool Dragonz will need Pom and his marbles to show up for the match if they look to do what they did in Match 1 of the finals last season. For Break and Run, they're missing their playoff MVP who helped beat Pool Dragonz so they'll be looking a tad different this season, but should still have the upper hand if they're able to bring their top 5.

Prediction - Break and Run 5-3

Thursday @ 7pm - Latin Pool Legends [1-0] vs Extreme Cues [1-0]
In the final match of the week we see two teams who won with ease last week. LPL were able to win with only 3 players, while EC made quick work of SS. Daru & co. will need to bring more then 3 if they want to win this week though. Extreme Cues is certainly a team that, with a bit of luck, can make a run to the title match this season. They have a solid core that can each pick up 2 wins a night, but at the same time, with no "superstar" on the team, every night will need to be a team effort, so falling behind early against LPL may be lights out. For LPL, they'd be able to snatch a top 2 spot in the conference playing all season with only Tino, Kev and Daru, but it's certainly not the safe way to do so. There's no question Daru & co. will be able to pick up a few more players, which is pretty bad news for everyone else.

Prediction - Latin Pool Legends 5-3
