Wednesday @ 6pm - Break and Run @ Pool Fiction
Season Series: Week 1 & 6 - PFN win 5-3.
Number of eligible players: BNR - 6, PFN - 6.
Break and Run were able to cruise past Extreme Cues Monday night and will need the same kind of effort tonight if they look to get past Pool Fiction. The bright spot for Break and Run is that both Mina and Jim are back so Jordy wont be looked upon to carry the entire load like usual. Looking at Pool Fictions eligible roster, it may look like just a credit list for a free win during the season. It's lacking the 'PFN talent' we've grown used to over the years. Sure they have Brent, but Chris is rarely around, Trey hasn't played since the Chicago Cubs won the world series and what on earth happened to Brian? Luckily for Brent, they are the home team so as long as they use it to their advantage they will be able to pull through. It'll be interesting to see how Mina performs against his old team as this match may very well come down to which team gives more support to Jordy and Brent. If Chris is able to show up then it'd be a bit easier to give the edge to Pool Fiction, but without him this will be a nail biter that will hopefully come down to Jordy and Brent in game 9.
Prediction - Break and Run win 5-4.

Round One
Monday @ 6pm - Extreme Cues @ Break and Run
This, surprisingly, will be a great match-up. Both sides were almost identical all season long with the tie break coming down to their overall win/loss, which was almost identical as well. Extreme Cues come into this match with arguably their top 6 players all eligible, while Break and Run also come into this match with 6 eligible. But with only 6 eligible, it'll be slim pickings to find a full roster and for Break and Run, one of those 6 is Mina who hasn't been around all that much in recent weeks but in reality, they have Jordy and that's all they need. Extreme Cues will need to target Jordy and be consistent from top to bottom as they have no stand out stars but as a team are better then Break and Run, but betting against Jordy is too tough, especially for an Extreme Cues that are hit or miss.
Prediction - Break and Run win 5-3.
Result - Break and Run win 5-1.
Tuesday @ 6pm - 8Ball Crushers @ Latin Pool Legends.
While I was wrong about last nights match being exciting, this one has to be better so it will be more exciting! LPL ended the season on quite a slump, while 8BC finished the season on fire, too bad that means all so little in the playoffs. After 8bc won their week 9 match against LPL, they caught fire while LPL figured they can coast the rest of the season and stay in second, including what I will assume is a toss to 8bc in their final match up. LPL are always a team that show with few but manage to win due to sheer talent, but now they face a serious issue. With only 4 players eligible for playoffs, they need at least 3 of them to show and getting a 75% showing rate from an LPL roster is hard enough during the season. Luckily you have the ever dependable Daru, Tino and Uriel who should be able to show, and if MJ completes the 4 then LPL are rolling. On the flip side you have an 8BC squad who have 7 very active members eligible, question then becomes can Niks bring 5 who can run with LPL? Players like Kron, JJ and Indian will be instrumental if 8bc look for the upset here. Daru should be able to bring a team that's eligible as long as he remembers to run tournaments for his players, and if Daru can get on a roll, bring on Freedom.
Prediction - Latin Pool Legends win 5-3.
