Congrats to the winners last season, and with more condensed talent this season, this season should be really fun week to week. Despite how the Atlantic Conference may have the three best rosters in PRO, the fact there is a 'rivalry week' like many actual sporting seasons is hilarious, and smart. I might make an effort to watch those games and do a bit of an in-depth review of them all as they should be quite entertaining. As per the fish filet... wtf.
Atlantic Conference
1st - Freedom
Why not? A combined 22-1 regular season record the past two seasons, combined with Petey being at the top of the MVP standings the past 3-4 seasons, Andy coming aboard and helping last season, and now Scotty this season. Maybe in 2 more seasons of adding star players, Freedom can actually have a playoff team that shows up.
Best case record: 10-0
Probably record: 9-1
Oh-no-look-at-that-collapse record: 7-3
Key players: Petey, Andy, Scotty.
2nd - Dead Strokes
Surprise pick? Why not. They've shown their power in 4orce thus far and the addition of Luis to their roster, Dead Strokes can finally emerge as a power in PRO, and doing so over SP and SS is oh-so sweet.
Best case record: 8-2
Probable record: 6-4
Oh-no-look-at-that-collapse record: 4-6
Key players: Eddie, Jose, Luis.
3rd - Sexy Poolerz
Returning champions missing the playoffs? Why not. That other predictor seems to have known what happened at the finals, and if they only won because of Scotty and he's gone, that can't be good can it? This season will be an interesting season for Sexy Poolerz after last seasons cheating escapades. Will Lewis & co. be able to help Brice get into the playoffs? Maybe if they were in the other conference.
Best case record: 7-3
Probably record: 5-5
Oh-no-look-at-that-collapse record: 4-6
Key players: Lewis, Roy, Carlos.
4th - Straight Shots
To keep up with earlier statements, why not? With New Era spinning off and splitting the roster, Shelle & Pita have a new sheet to work with, lucky for them Straight Shots always spins off new players. They're doing better in 4orce than WPC, so if that could be a good sign. Pita will have to up his game compared to prior seasons as he finally becomes the face of Straight Shots, and he might need to ask Jordy for some weekend workout techniques to strengthen those shoulders.
Best case record: 5-5
Probable record: 3-7
Oh-no-look-at-that-collapse record: 0-10
Key players: Pita, Shelle, Brad.
Pacific Conference
1st - For The Win
Weak name, but strong team. They'll have a ton of talent and should be able to cruise through this conference with ease, the cross conference matches will give a good test of how they'll fair against the likes of Freedom, Dead Strokes and Sexy Poolerz. A lot of people are questioning if this league will last, but chances are it will. Danielle handled the 8bc break-up quite well, and quite frankly, as long as Ants around, there isn't much to worry about.
Best case record: 9-1
Probable record: 8-2
Oh-no-look-at-that-collapse record: 6-4
Key players: Ant.. not sure who else is playing for them in PRO.
2nd - Break and Run
Teams like FTW make their name for what they do, but Break and Run was around long before Jordy came about, so the fit looks nice. Break and Run have struggled as of late, but this is Jordys playground, and this conference is weaker than last season so Break and Run should be able to bounce back for Ross.
Best case record: 7-3
Probable record: 6-4
Oh-no-look-at-that-collapse record: 4-6
Key players: Jordy, Ross, Mina
3rd - New Era
On paper this team is really good, but New Era really reminds me of ICA and MC of past seasons, where they rely heavily on the captain to get them there, and without him there's no team. Jon has the big guns at his disposal to probably win the conference if they showed every week, but chances are he'll have to dig into the depth charts for some matches. The season for New Era will probably hinge on their success in the cross conference matches
Best case record: 8-2
Probable record: 5-5
Oh-no-look-at-that-collapse record: 2-8
Key players: Jon, Mike, Dan
4th - Pool Hall Pros
The fact I think PHP is the 8th best league here says something, because as I am looking at their probable players, they could probably beat any team in PRO, but what might set them back is inconsistency. They have a solid team, it'll just be whether or not players can step up when needed. The fight for the second playoff spot will be a close one here and I wouldn't be surprised if PHP takes it.
Best case record: 6-4
Probable record: 4-6
Oh-no-look-at-that-collapse record: 2-8
Key players: Sean, Dan, handkrash
