Pool Fiction [1st in Atlantic, 9-4 overall] vs Latin Pool Legends [2nd in Pacific, 7-6 overall]
Last week we saw Pool Fiction dispose of Break and Run while Latin Pool Legends squeak by 8 Ball Crushers then pound Freedom with a 4 man roster. In their only match up during the season, Pool Fiction were able to pull out a game 9 victory. Looking at the probable rosters, from top to bottom Pool Fiction certainly gets the nod as they will actually have a full roster. Brent will be there without question and will certainly be able to provide Pool Fiction a bit of a boost, and if Chris and Stu are able to help him out than LPL will be in deep trouble. Latin Pool Legends have two of the top three players in this match in Daru and MJ. Both of whom could very well take down Pool Fiction themselves. The added help of Tino, a veteran player who is no push over as well as Uriel, a veteran with a few camtasia comp. titles to his name give their top 2 players support down the roster. For Pool Fiction to succeed, they will need to target Daru and MJ. If Brent or Chris or Stu are able to get break against Daru and MJ in their second game, a break run is certainly capable and will swing the advantage heavily in their favor. Pool Fiction will need to play their game, and not LPL's because if you allow Daru and MJ to play their way, not only will you fall asleep, but you'll wake up with a loss. All four LPL players are quite reliable, so a no show or lack of players isn't that probable but is still something to look out for. In any other interleague it would be easy to give Pool Fiction the advantage, but here it's hard to bet against Latin Pool Legends.
Prediction -
Match 1: Latin Pool Legends win 5-3
Match 2: Latin Pool Legends win 5-4.
