Week 2

Week brought some suprises, the defending champs to PFN, FR beat 5-1 just trouncing them. EC Trounced on SS as well 5-2. The other matches all went to 8 games. This week I look for things to get back on track for alot of teams.

FR vs SS

Last week FR beat SP 5-1. But not without the help of SP. If Andy and Eddie would have finished there runs this match could have turned out differently with ease and SP would have been up 3-2. But they didn't and good job on not letting them get a 2nd chance FR. SS Got trounced on by EC and it looks like SS is going down the same path they are going down in UIC. A bad one. But unlike UIC, SS has time here seeing as this is only the second week. But they cant afford to fall behind early too fast because if SS does SS will not be able to catch up to some of the powerhouses in PRO this season. If Matt, Nish, and Andy all show up for FR this will be an easy win for FR. I don't see FR having any problems with SS this week, although it won't be a shutout, it won't be close either. FR wins 5-1

8BC vs SP

8BC lost to SB by the score of 5-3 last week. 8BC is not the same team as they have been the past month in UIC. They have alot of holes in there team now and that could cost them dearly against a SP team that is stacked to the core. They may not have showin it last week but SP will be a threat. Will talent like Cam, Kev, Missy, Ryan, Andy, and Brice at there grasps SP has a real shot this year. Many people will doubt SP cause of last week. But look for SP to make a solid run and make playoffs. This week should be a easy rebound week for them if they bring there good players. Brice always has a team around and is usually a good team. SP should win this one and get themselves back on track. 5-3 SP

SB vs PFN

Joe "says" he's making a MVP run this season, im sure all the other players are saying to themselves "We'll see about that" With People like Tino, Daru, Kev, and all the other great players in PRO, its hard to say Joe will be MVP. But SB will definately need some luck if they look to take out PFN who beat BnR last week. PFN is probably one of 2 teams that you can say we'll see you in finals. Someone will have to pull an amazing upset to take PFN out. SB won't do that this week however. PFN is just too good and SB has way too many holes still. Although I would like SB to win, it won't happen. 5-2 PFN

PDZ vs BNR
 PDZ lost to a LPL team last week that only had 3 members. That either shows you how strong LPL is with only 3 players which they are. But it also shows you how PDZ cant capitalize on a team that only has 3 players. BnR however lost to PFN who is strong this season and is a favorite to make Finals if not Win it all. If PDZ is week again they dont stand a chance against this BnR team. BnR has strong players, may not have shown all the way last week, but it will this week. I don't see PDZ beating BnR if BnR is at full strength. Sorry Drew but unless you, hani and pommy are all playing your best and can carry the load. I dont see you winning. BnR 5-2

LPL vs EC

LPL is the other team that you can say will be in finals. LPL won 5-3 with only Tino, Kev, and Daru last week. If they get another 2 solid players, I think LPL could win this season undefeated. All 3 of them can carry LPL week in and week out. LPL is a true force this season and shouldn't be underestimated. LPL will be in playoffs no doubt. However EC on the other hand has a good team. But as Mister Predictor said, with no true Superstar they have to have a team effort if they look to take out LPL. I think they can pull together a team effort but not a win against LPL. They will do decent and show people they are a good team, but not good enough to take out LPL. Sorry EC. LPL wins 5-3

Week 1 and things are already heating up

It's only week 1 and we already have some stellar matchups that look to give us the outlook of this season. We have defending champions BnR vs PFN. We got a good SP team vs a good FR team, and LPL vs defending runner ups PDZ. These 3 matches should tell us what we are in-store for this season.
And with the Dropping of MC this season it shows the re-emergence of LPL in PRO which makes you wonder, if the Dropping of MC will affect LPL in anyway?
SS vs EC

SS has suprisingly been dissapointing in UIC this season but have done decent in IPA. So going off these 2 interleagues you don't know what to expect out of SS for this season in PRO. If they have picked up some good players that can consistently win matches for them then I think they have a chance of hanging with the teams with the better players on them. But this week they face a EC team who is captained by Maria. Now whether they will succeed or not depends on whether she actually has picked up good players. Word is she has picked up Stephen but will tha tbe enough? I don't see EC keeping up with SS though, or any league in PRO for that matter. I just don't think Maria will have been able to pick up the team that she needed to keep up with the better teams in PRO. But we shall see. But this match will go past the 5 matches and go to 7 I believe with SS coming out victorious. Gl both teams. SS wins 5-2.

BnR vs PFN

This match is going to be a great match-up. BNR is the defending champions and always have a great PRO team. PFN is a great team as well and also always has a great PRO team so this one will no doubtedly go the distance. The question is, who will come out on top? BnR is going to be riding the momentum of there PRO Championship last season and they have a big bullseye on there back. Jordy will pick up wins for BnR this match as normal and if Jack plays for BnR he will pick up a win or 2 as well I believe. But with Brian and Kerry for PFN, it's going to be hard for Jordy and Jack to be the only ones to carry BnR which is why I think Ross and a few others will be on there A game like they were last season. In the end I see it going down to the wire with every game being a back and forth game. PFN will be able to keep up with BnR but I don't see PFN being able to take out BnR coming off there Championship. BnR will continue rolling and win this one 5-4.

SP vs FR

This is going to be another great match-up. Petey is a great captain and will surely play his players right but hes going up against another good captain in Brice. Yes that's right, Brice has taken over the reigns in PRO as sp's captain. SP will bring a good team as they have in UIC each week and if Missy and Brice both show on there A games along with Andy and there solid core of role players then this SP team will be a mess to deal with in the regular season and come playoff time. FR looks to have a good team though with Travis, Ebs, Dan and Petey all leading the way for this FR team they are no slouch. FR will pose a threat to these top tier teams this season as they always have. This match-up is going to go down to the 9th game easily. It will be a match of back and forths but I just think SP will have more determination seeing as they didn't do as well as they hoped last season. SP wins this one in the last match 5-4. Gl both teams.

8BC vs SB

This match on paper looks like it will be a wash out and that 8BC will just walk all over SB. But with the adding of bmx Dave to SB's roster they have strengthened that core. And with Joe captaining he might just lead them past 8BC. However, 8BC is a good team and are showing that in UIC this season. With Niks leading the way for 8BC they aren't that bad of a team and will make a strong push for the playoffs. 8BC is going to be a good team this year it seems like and will give any of these teams a run for there money and I think they will have enough to take SB out. SB has Dave and Joe and a few unknowns but Dave cant be the only one that carrys SB to a win. I think this match will go to 7 games but 8BC will just prove too much for SB in the end and 8BC will end up taking this one 5-2. Gl to both teams.

LPL vs PDZ
LPL will probably come with a strong team as normal. With Tino leading the way but who all is gonna play for them is the question? And will the leaving of MC show any affects on the LPL players? We will see in this match-up. Will PDZ bring Pommy, Hani, Dj, and Drew like normal? Or will they bring some new players, if they bring the team that they used on there amazing run to the finals they should be good here. But they aren't showing all too good in UIC which worries me and which should worry PDZ. They need to be on there best if they look to repeat there cinderella run of last year. However, I don't see them starting off good, I think LPL will show up in top tier form and take out PDZ. I don't think PDZ can get it together fast enough from there mediocre UIC season to keep up with LPL. This match will be good in the beginning but I think in the end LPL will take over and win this one 5-3. Gl to both teams.

My Pre-Season outlook for PRO regular season was hard to choose but it will be close at the end.
