Week 6, Will Pita Power Show Up This Week?

Last week we didnt have many suprises, EC Lost To PFN, who didnt see that coming? LPL beat BnR in a stunning 9 game match SP beat SS, PDZ won again and 8BC got shutout.

8BC (1-4) vs SS (0-5)

Both of these teams have basically already put themselves out of contention for playoffs. And with 8BC not having any real power players with Irfan withdrawing from PRO you have to wonder who is gonna fill in the shoes for 8BC. With Niks being the captain they should be in good hands but they need more than a good captain to be a good team. There team will need to play in coherence with eachother and come together and play as a team if they look to win some matches. SS may have the worst record in PRO but they won't be an easy win for 8BC. With Jon and Pita anchoring a SS team that could win a few and with a good bit of luck could get into the playoff contention. Pita didn't get to try to carry last week seeing as he played last, you have to wonder though, if Pita would have played would it have been a different score? SS might come on strong the middle of the season, you never know. I look for SS to win this won and for 8BC to continue there slide. 5-3 SS

SP (3-2) vs EC (4-1)

SP has come on strong recently. Beating PFN 5-3, SS 5-2 and landing just percentage points of out playoff contention. Wit Brice suprisignly having the most wins for SP and Mike having a 5-0 record SP could be in real contention for the first spot in this division. With Mikey and Timm also switching to SP this past week SP has one of the strongest rosters in PRO this season and will be a force come playoff time if they make it. EC showed last week that they can be beaten and will be beaten. With PFN beating them last week and ending there dream run it opens the doors for the top 4 in the Atlantic Conference to take first this week. EC will need to bring there big guns if they look to keep up with a SP team that is hitting there stride. If Kev, Mike, Timm, Shane and Brice show up for SP look out, this will be another bad week for EC. 5-1 SP

PFN (3-2) vs BnR (3-2)

PFN beat EC last week, the top dogs of the Atlantic Conference Stat Wise. However with PFN beating EC last week, these two Atlantic Conference teams are open to take first. PFN with the likes of Stu, Chris and Brian look to take out a BnR team who lost in 9 games to LPL last week. PFN will need Stu, Chris and Brian all to win there first game if they want to beat this good BnR team. PFN can't rely on just one person to carry against this BnR team. If PFN relies on just Stu or Chris or Brian to carry they will lose this one, because with Jordy carrying last week to the 9th game and with them still having Mina and Jack on there team BnR is a good team. BnR will take PFN to the 9th game no doubt about that, question is who will outplay who? If Mina and Jordy can take out 2 of the 3 best players on PFN then BnR should be able to take this one, but if the top 3 PFN players stay then watch out BnR. This one will go to the 9th game. 5-4 BnR

FR (5-0) vs PDZ (2-3)

FR at 5-0 deserves it. With them shutting out 8BC 5-0 last week and coming off there IPA Championship sweep of PDZ, you gotta wonder if FR are the favorites to win all of PRO. FR with Matt, Trav, Nish, and Petey can beat PDZ if they show up in top form. If they dont show up in top form then look out FR you could lose your first match, although I don't see that happening. With Nish improving his game and with Trav and Matt, and don't forget about Andy all being on there game, I don't see how FR loses this match. But with a Pommy sighting in IPA, will he leave his marbles alone a long enough time to Play this PRO match? If he does watch out cause Pommy could carry against FR if he is on top of his game. I don't think PDZ will have the firepower to beat FR however. 5-2 FR

LPL (3-2) vs SB (1-4)

Not much to say about this match besides good luck to SB. With LPL being on top form and with Daru carrying vs BnR last week LPL is a tough match for anyone. LPL should take out SB easily. Joe will have to have a full team effort to beat LPL. LPL with Kev, and Daru and Tino, will take out SB easily. SB won't have enough talent to take out this LPL team who is as good as any team. Sorry SB but I don't think you have a chance. 5-0 LPL.

Week 5 Preds

Last week was a decent week to watch some PRO Matches. SS took BnR to the 9th Game, SP beat PFN in a stunner, and a match full of more Drama EC continued there hot streak, PDZ lost to 8BC and FR downed LPL.

SP (2-2) vs SS (0-4)

SexyPoolerz proved last week that they don't need Kev and Cam to down a good team. PFN's 3 best players were downed in the first 3 games. Brice beat Chris, Shane beat Stu, and Ste beat Brian. Brice and Shane won the last 2 games for SP, but not without some drama. With the Kalpz tape being bad and texhnically not having to be sent cause of a dq, and then shane not recording the 7th game, the 7th game was a double dq therefore giving SP the win in a drama filled match, but there was skill involved, first 3 games were shockers but SP definately earned it. SS took BnR to the 9th game in a good match. But with them losing Craig to SP, that will cause them to search for more talent and it bolsters an already stacked SP team. But this match shouldn't be a blowover for SP. With people like Pita and Jon still on SS's team they have the talent to beat SP. So this match will go to the 8th or 9th game, but if SP brings the core they had last week with the addition of Craig, SP should win this one. 5-3 SP

EC (4-0) vs PFN (2-2)

EC has suprised alot of people with Saf still being undefeated and Maria leading EC to a perfect season so far, you wonder, can anyone beat EC? They will get a big challenge this week. They will need more than Saf and Lewis to beat PFN's stacked Roster. Maria will have to take out the whip and bring the big dogs if she looks to take down a great PFN team. But with Stu, Chris and Brian there starting 3 players and under there new captains Brent and Trey, PFN should take out EC and get back on the winning track. If Stu, Chris, and Brian all get back to form this week then they can roll over EC easily. But you have to watch out for saf, seeing as he is undefeated he could carry that momentum into this week. But I don't see it happening. PFN 5-2

8BC (1-3) vs FR (4-0)

8BC who hasn't been able to catch there UIC form is slowly falling out of the race to make playoffs. Niks will need to bring his big guns just like Maria if he looks to win this week. They will need to make this a team effort and string together a few good wins if they wanna actually hang in with FR. Niks always has a team, but its not always a good team, but he will need to make this one a good team if he looks to hand FR there first loss and get back on the winning track. However, FR is a great team,with Trav, Matt, Andy and Nish all on there team they are a strong team, and on paper can hang with any of the top teams easily. FR, captained by Petey, will win this one with ease if he plays his players right. 8BC just doesn't have the talent with the lacking of Irfan to hang with FR. If the 4 before mentioned FR players play and then a solid 5th player plays, this could be a possible 5-0 shutout, I don't think Niks will allow that however and I think they will get 1 or 2 wins. 5-2 FR


LPL (2-2) vs BnR (3-1)

LPL has a strong team and with Daru, Tino, and Kevin all on there team this is going to be a good match vs BnR. Daru and Kevin can both carry a team on any given night and Tino can always pick you up 2 or 3 solid wins. If Daru and Kev both show up and are on form this match will easily go to the 9th game. They will definately need a solid 5 here though, and if Marco and Uriel play with Kevin, Tino and Daru then BnR will have to play very well to match them. If Mina, Croz, Jordy, Jack and Ross all play for BnR then they have a strong chance at winning this. But if all 5 of them dont show then they will need at least 3 of those 5. Jordy can't do it alone and they can't count on him to do it alone. I think Dina will muster a good team together but I don't know if it will be good enough to beat LPL, but I've been proven wrong many times. But I just don't think BnR can pull it off this week. 5-4 LPL


SB (1-3) vs PDZ (1-3)

One of these teams will get there 2nd win of the season and the other will continue there slide. With PDZ's horrible loss to 8BC after beating SP in a 9 game marathon you have to wonder what team for them will show up each week. And with SB losing last week to EC on a night where neither the captain or co captain was there for SB you have to wonder if SB is for real? SB if they can get all there people at the table could beat PDZ, but it will have to be a team effort. Seeing as DJ is boxed till next week PDZ will be weakened, and seeing as I don't see Pommy returning anytime soon PDZ will have to pick up the first couple wins. They have to have Drew, Tim and Hani to win to take this one I think. If only 2 of them win then it will be alot harder. But PDZ is a up and down team just like SB. So it's very hard to predict this one, I think SB will take PDZ to the 9th game I just don't know if they have enough to beat them though. But like I said before, I've been proven wrong. 5-4 PDZ

Week 4

Last week PFN got into it with FR, a bitter rivalry there. Can't wait for the rematch there. DJ got boxed for 2 weeks for "unsportsmanlike behavior" basically for calling Kerry names. This week doesnt look to be as heated as last week for any teams though.
SS (0-3) vs BnR (2-1)

SS looks to be on the same path they are in UIC, a bad one. SS just doesn't have the roster they need to compete with PFN, SP, EC, and BnR. SS doesn't have it any easier this week with a BnR team that looks to be heading in the right direction if I say so myself. BnR will just have too much talent for this SS team that is struggling. Pita can't always carry the load, and with Craig so called "retiring" I don't see anyway this team comes back and makes playoffs. BnR will take advantage of a weak SS team and go to 3-1. If Mina, Ross, and Jordy all play this week could easily be a 5-0 week for BnR. But watch out for Pita, cause he could Carry them this week, you never know. BnR will definately win this one but the score? Who knows. 5-3 BnR

PFN (2-1) vs SP (1-2)

PFN lost for the first time last season, but brought Stu which strengthens them. But this week won't be any pushover, even with Cam retiring, SP still has a strong roster, even if Kev doesnt show, they still have Ryan, who hasn't played, Ste, and they have Mike and Missy still and don't forget Kev. PFN though has Brian, Stu, Trey and Brent, all four of those can carry a team on any given night. PFN will need to rebound off there loss and off they heated exchange they had with FR to beat SP. SP lost to PDZ last week, but, you can bring a positive out of this. SP doesnt have to have Mike there to have someone Carry. Andy and Brice carried them to the 9th game last week, where Christy won it for PDZ. So with Brice showing he does have talent to carry a team, can SP put it all together in one night? If so, watch out for them I think this could go to the 9th game. If it does watch out anything can happen. 5-4 PFN.

PDZ (1-2) vs 8BC (0-3)

PDZ won last week, I wouldn't say luckily, but they can't rely on Christy to carry every week. And with Pom still playing with his marbles as the other Predictor says I don't see him coming back any time soon. Also with DJ being boxed for 2 weeks if they look to get back on track they will need to channel there inner Pommy within all of them and win. 8BC are 0-3, and they look like they are in the same boat as SS are in. Not going to be able to make playoffs. And with a team like FR, and a team like PDZ in there conference it's going to be hard for 8BC to make playoffs. If Drew can conjur up a good team this week then PDZ can take this one with little resistent from the crushers who seemingly are being crushed. 5-2 PDZ

EC (3-0) vs SB (1-2)

EC the Dark Horses of this years PRO Season are showing that they are no joke. At 3-0 and topping teams like PFN, BnR and SP. EC looks like they are true contenders this season. If Saf doesn't switch leagues like he did in WPA, then this could be a good team. But if he does then EC may have to rely Lewiss he decides to play every week for them. EC can obvisouly win if its a team effort, and SB should be a easy week for them. SB just hasn't shown much talent and that will continue this week I'm afraid, with the self proclaimed MVP not doing so hot, I don't think SB really has a chance against EC. 5-2 EC

FR (3-0) vs LPL (2-1)

FR vs LPL, a stunning matchup this week which is exactly why it's my Match of the Week. FR is undefeated and have a great roster with the likes of Trav, Matt, Jay, Nish, and Andy. If that 5 were to play every week FR could easily win the PRO Title. Unfortunately I don't think they can get that same team to the table each week. But if they get at least 2 or 3 of them to the table each week then FR will definately be in contention for the Title. LPL has a great roster as well with Daru, Tino, and Kev. If those 3 show every week then it could easily take the title as well. LPL will need to put it together though and get 5 to the table each week if they really look to win the title. This match will definately go to the 9th game and it really depends on which 2 players are playing the 9th game to decide this outcome. I think FR wins in the end though. 5-4 FR.

Week 3

With PRO 2 weeks underway and new people showing up for each team, you wonder who will be in contention for finals and who won't be, this week should tell it all.

SB (1-1) vs BnR (1-1)

This week when SB takes on BnR it should be a easy win for BnR. But if SB shows up with Joe and Dave, and a few other decent players I don't think it will be a pushover for BnR. If Joe and Dave both win then its possible they could carry for SB, but it would have to be a team effort. BnR have a great team and look to get there 2nd win of the season. If BnR can bring the team they did last week then they should be able to take out SB with no problem. The thing is can BnR bring there cards to the table?Good Luck to both teams and Dina dont forget your cards. 5-2 BnR

LPL (1-1) vs SS (0-2)

Okay LPL, how does this work? You win with 3 players but lose with 4? You're one player away from a full team. Better get that full team there or it'll be a long season unless you plan on winning with only 3 or 4 people. In a conference that has Freedom and Pool Dragonz in it, you can't afford to just have 3 and 4 people though you need that full team. If SS can show with Craig, Pita and Gary and if Jon can show for them then SS could make a run and get right back into this. But they will need a Craig that will stay there for the whole match and wont go idle and time out as he did in there last match. SS can be a good team if they play good and bring there players. Good Luck to you SS, you better win this week or you could be out of it for good. 5-4 SS

8BC (0-2) vs EC (2-0)

I'm sure 8BC is telling themselves they should have won last week vs SP and maybe they should have. Then again with Mike and Missy carrying for SP it was a hard task for anyteam let alone a 8BC team who besides Irfan and sometimes Matt is the only consistent one that can carry. 8BC despite EC's record should be able to take out EC this week. With Safdar having a MVP type season atm for EC at 5-0, it looks like he may be there only hope, but with a strong middle half of the season still to come for EC Safdar can't carry the whole load all of the time. And with Maria starting to lose some of her players for some odd reason she will have to make sure she has a full team against a 8BC team that can suprise people. Good Luck to you both, but I think 8BC gets there first win. 5-3 8BC.

PDZ (0-2) vs SP (1-1)

PDZ lost again last week and you're wondering what has happened to this team? This team needs Pommy, DJ, Drew and Hani all to show up to be a contender in a tough PRO season. If those 4 don't show up this week against SP it could be a long night for them. PDZ will need to step it up a level if they look to beat SP and start to get there wheels a turning. SP has a great roster with Missy, Kev, and Mike there top three. They also have Cam who hasn't even played a game for them in PRO yet. IF they can get those 4 to show up consistently then they will be a team to contend with come playoff time. Kev can Carry a team on any given night, as can Mike and Missy. Mike and Missy carried SP last week and against PDZ this week look for those two to be a threat to carry again with possiby the help of Cam if he shows. Good Luck to you both. SP wins 5-3.

FR (2-0) vs PFN (2-0)

The two top dogs of each Division going at it this week so this has got to be my Match of the Week. FR has a stunning cast of players especially if Matt, Andy and Trav show up every week. FR showed there force in week 1 vs SP and last week. FR is looking to kick ass and take names this season but to stay undefeated they are going to have to go up against a just as good PFN team. With Brian on PFN's team it isn't a walk in the Park. Brian can carry a team along with Kerry so look for those 2 to be a threat week in and week out. But you can't forget about Chris and Trey either. Both of those players can carry a team as well and are having MVP type seasons. This match will be a dog fight no doubt, if the roleplayers for FR like Nish and Jay show up then FR could take this one, but don't count PFN out cause PFN is still PFN. FR wins 5-4.
