Week one

Monday @ 6pm - 8Ball Crushers @ Break and Run
On one side we have a team that usually finishes in the middle of the table despite having the potential to be at the top, while on the other we have one side that used to be at the top but now find themselves slowly falling down the ladder. This season, led by JJ, 8Ball Crushers will look to build upon recent success and have one, strong season and what better stage to show your best than PRO. In a season where no win is easy and every loss puts you in a hole that's tough to get out of,the likes of JJ, Jay, Raj & co. will need to realize if they want to succeed, they better lead by example. For Break and Run to succeed, the familiar equation is if Jordy = Lots of wins and minimal losses, than team = two thumbs up. Break and Run have a supporting cast around Jordy to be lethal if they play to their potential, but they have been slacking that department. When clicking Break and Run are deadly, otherwise it's all on Jordy. This opening match will be a great one that Jordy and Gus should be able to carry out.

Prediction - 5-3 Break and Run


Tuesday @ 7pm - Sexy Poolerz @ Simply Pool Souls
A lot of S's, almost as many P's, but only one W to be given out this night. Sexy Poolerz come in reborn to say the least, with a lot of added talent, Brice and co. are certainly a force this season, but with the reputation that came from PFN, opponents will be placing a target on their back so every match gets that much harder for them, though it may not matter with their talent level. For SPS, this season will be an experience. Their first carry format with a few players not familiar, but if those little birds are right they'll have experience right up their alley. They are a team that can take 3 of the first 5 games quickly, but holding onto a lead is what will hold them back. Will be interesting to see how they do, but a win might not be their thing this week.

Prediction - 5-2 Sexy Poolerz

Wednesday @ 7pm - Freedom @ Straight Shots
Fresh season for both squads who look to do a bit of redemption. Freedom were hot all season while Straight Shots for the umpteenth time started off slowly but finished quite strong. The big story here is who will be available for Straight Shots, known for slow starts, the turmoil does not help one bit. They'll have a few big names, but the 4-5 support will be the issue. Freedom I'm sure will continue their season streak with all their big names, so expect a win for Freedom.

Prediction - 5-3 Freedom

Thursday @ 7pm - Dead Strokes @ Latin Pool Legends
In the final match of the opening week, Dead Strokes looks to see what kind of damage they can do to the reigning champs. LPL won it last season in typical LPL fashion, with only 4 eligible players all playoffs, they won it, with 4, and nothing suggests that'll change this season. LPL will commonly show with 3-4 players, but they'll win more often than not that way. Dead Strokes will need to have the hammer down all match if they want to pull out an upset to start the season, but I don't think DS has the fire power to do so, it'll be interesting to see who their line up contains though.

Prediction - 5-2 Latin Pool Legends
