Well last week turned out like I had thought, not nearly as interesting as previous weeks. One match reached game 7 and the victor has setup a very intriguing week 6. I of course am talking about FR defeating T8B. T8B had their chances with a not-so-stacked FR team to deal with, T8B stretched the match all the way to game 7 and with a couple breaks here and there they could have actually won. In the end Petey clinched the match and proved why FR are a force to be reckoned with. I also wanted to note how disappointing SPS was this week after I hyped up their BNR match only to find them losing 5-1 to what could be called BNR's 2nd string. I am sure Jason will rebound this week. He needs this upcoming match if he wants a sure-shot at making the playoffs this season. As I have noted above with FR's timely win we have ICA and FR, Western heavy-weights going pound for pound; winner takes all, well, bragging rights at the least ha ha.

FR vs ICA, Monday @6pm, Room: Beetle Spot
Here we have it. The very first KEY match-up for these two teams. ICA are currently smashing the record books with an amazing 5-0 record sitting atop the high powered Western Division. It's truly remarkable how well they are preforming. Nish has done wonders, bringing in such a strong team. So far ICA has had smooth sailing besides their very challenging match-up with PFN, look for another outcome similar to that match this week. I am positive Nish will do well calling his players at just the right time, he clearly knows what playing order suits the situation.
I hope Corey shows for this match. Last week he didn't and it almost cost FR. Some how Ebs pulled off the duties in his place. Petey cant be left out of this, he carried quite nicely when his team disparately needed him. Look to see FR bring their big boys for this match, with any luck home-field plays a factor but I highly doubt it. ICA have such a strong lineup from top to bottom and haven't shown a crack in their armor yet. FR have only lost one match though against a very strong LPL team. This match will go down to the wire and will prove to everyone why the Western Division is just a tad bit stronger than their Eastern counter-parts.
Outcome: 4-3 ICA
DS vs LPL, Thursday @7pm, Room: A Face in the Crowd
Chele it seems like every week you fall short. You have had a very rough season thus far. It pains me to say it but, if you guys don't win now it is almost certain you will be stuck in the murky abyss till next season rolls around. Of course there is still a lot of fun games left for you guys, but the playoffs are almost out of reach. If you guys are lucky LPL might show without a full lineup.
Ant has kept his team afloat here in WSOP. LPL doesn't have the luxury of toting around their MLP lineup but LPL has still done a sufficient job securing a strong grasp on the last playoff spot. After you get outside of the top 3 there really isn't much left of the Western Division. Do not under-estimate them like you did MIB and SPS. This match has the potential of being close but with sheer will Ant will prevail.
Outcome: 4-2 LPL

SPS vs MIB, Wednesday @6pm, Room: Sweet Jane
This match will prove why SPS deserves the new-found respect I have been giving them. Sure Jason under-performed when it was key for him to step-up. He has another chance this week to prove that SPS aren't just hot air. The players he can bring to the table need to preform, MIB will not blow you away but they have a tendency to finish a run or two and keep the match close. Jason needs to use home-field to his advantage this week, if they do not win this match it's almost certain they will not get another chance like this. Play this game very carefully Jason SPS is treading water, I am certain this situation wouldn't be so dire-sum if you weren't stuck with SP's 0-3 record.
Rich you lost Eddie who was playing so well for MIB. Losing Eddie will be the reason you are going into this match as the underdog. It isn't always bad to come into the match as the underdog, everyone roots for you, the only problem is.... you no longer have the depth to contend here. When you matched up with LPL you had a number of up-and-coming players, now that you have lost at least one it isn't looking good. You're going to fall short this week, SPS rebounds after a rough BNR loss.
Outcome: 4-2 SPS
DPP vs BNR, Monday @6pm, Room: I'm Gonna Crawl
DPP is just way out of their comfort-zone in this inter-league. They haven't been able to show with even 4 players thus far, heck... This might be the week they show with a full team but don't get too hopeful. Dina and Ross get a couple credits to various players and close the book on this match game 1.
Outcome: 6-0 BNR

PFN vs T8B, Thursday @6pm, Room: Bad Times
Andy has done a great job in WSOP, sure they started off a bit rocky but they have also had some rough goings. PFN has had one of thee toughest schedules in WSOP and have come out of thus far holding onto 2nd seed. This match will be no trouble for Andy, he will bring 3 subs and get as many players eligible for the playoffs as possible. Andy does a great job setting up for the playoffs and this will be a good time to do so.
Jordy, you keep getting rough breaks here in WSOP. With a couple lucky breaks your team could easily be in playoff contention. The depth is lacking though and it shows when you continuously lose close matches. This will be another close loss, not nearly as close as last week but you will show that T8B aren't pushovers.
Outcome: 4-2 PFN
