Week 1...Kickoff of PRO Season 15

DS (0-0) vs FTW (0-0) Monday 6 PM

The first high profile matchup of the season, also the first cross divisional match, and the first match of the season? What is more exciting to kick off the PRO season? We got 2 high profile teams with DS and FTW, Craig comes in captaining DS, will his team follow him? Craig will need to calm down on his attitude he has alot and focus on captaining. If Pommy shows, along with Ogges, TJ, and Omar then if Craig plays himself they might have a shot. But you can't forget that FTW is loaded on there side as well. If FTW can show up with Tyler, Dante, Si, Ant and Stephen they could take control of this match in the early going and could really make Craig and company prove there worth. FTW is the more experienced team here though, and DS may have gone to finals last season, but there captain most of the season was Rees, and with him seemingly disappearing every other week he isn't around to help. I think DS might have some growing pains this first match which is why I'm taking FTW 5-2.

5-2 FTW

HH (0-0) vs FR (0-0) Tuesday 6 PM

HH comes into this match being new to PRO. While people may not think they have good players, they actually have some experience and decent talent in Josh, Brice, Steve and Frank. The others are fairly new to interleagues, but can win games. HH and FR have played twice in these interleague seasons with them tying in WPC and FR beating them 4-0 in 4orce. While I don't think HH will let that happen again and might be able to put up a fight FR will bring some good talent. With Petey getting better now, Ashley is a decent player, if Scotty amazingly shows up and doesn't party as much he could be a threat, but that's not likely. However Ebs and Timmmy will show up and that will help them. Petey is the more experienced captain here, Brice has won a PRO title with SP but hasn't really done anything since. Both are looking to have better seasons than they had last season in PRO this one could come down to the 9th game.

5-4 HH

8BC (0-0) vs SS (0-0) Tuesday 7 PM

8BC is back for another season and while they may not have the star players they've had in seasons past they could still do decent. It will definitely be a tough task though, they have a uphill climb if they want to grab the 3rd spot. If Andrew wants to win this match he needs to give his team a big pep talk if there is such of something on the internet. Either way he needs to get his team in a zone to where they all can win games because they will need to with the depth SS is gaining. The aforementioned SS and the depth of them are back in PRO. And while I don't think Pita is going to be playing for them, if Kenny and/or Dustin can play the role of Pita and get a carry mode going and be what Jordy has been to BnR in past seasons, SS will be a threat. But, also with them having depth, that could make it to where those 2 won't have to carry as much. Either way I think SS is in for a decent season. And with that being said, SS wins this one.

5-2 SS

PHP (0-0) vs RDU (0-0)

PHP has lost experience in the captaining end with Bev not captaining. With Damo, someone I'm familiar with, captaining, it could be a long season for PHP. And with them not having Candi in PHP and the loss of Sean, PHP will need to figure something out quick. They also have a few questions to find out, will Irfan ever  play? Can Andy be counted on to show every week? If PHP can answer those questions and if Andy and Mikey can carry each week unless some of the old players show up then PHP looks to have a tough season ahead of them. RDU doesn't have the "star" players but they have been consistent in all the inters they are in which makes me think that they could do decent this season in PRO. Thomas will need to be able to captain his team good though. And with the people he has signed up they should be able to hold there own with the teams as long as they are playing well. I look for RDU to win this one.

5-1 RDU

PDZ (0-0) vs BnR (0-0)

Joe and company have a tough task in this one if BnR shows with all of the talent they are capable of showing with. Joe is back as captain for PDZ in all inters which really doesn't surprise me. Besides Charles and Ash Joe is the most experienced with inters on the PDZ Roster. If Joe can bring Charles, Ash, Rob, and the rest of his normal squad they might be able to win some games here, but vs Ross and BnR it's going to be super tough for PDZ here. If Gus and Jordy can show along with Paul, Ross and Croz. This one could possibly be over in 5 games. Now I'm not going to write off PDZ and say they are going to get shutout. But there team has been together the longest as far as the players being comfortable with eachother which is a plus for them. They have the talent to make the finals this season and win it, they may not be the favorites, but they definitely have that kind of talent. I look for BnR to take care of this one on there home turf. 

5-2 BnR
