Well, I am back thank you Ben for doing a great week of predictions even if you got them all wrong, ha ha ha, jk. What a time to come back to the prediction table. This week has THEE epic match of the season. We have two heavy weights clashing for top dog bragging rights. ICA and BNR both were on a roll going undefeated until last week. When both teams losing last week it setup a very interesting scenario. If BNR does not beat ICA they could be in position to lose top seed going into the playoffs. This is a critical match for Dina, I hope she shows with her best because I am sure ICA will. One other match was close last week. PFN took many risks playing their subs against FR and luckily still walked away with the win in a match that could have easily gone either way.

Dina has a great team and a fluke loss like last week versus a strong LPL team should have her questioning her strategy going into this key match. This match could end up repeating itself in the playoffs. I am sure Dina will have a few jokers up her sleeve for this match. I would even go as far as expecting Stu to show up. She has a superb team and I think it is time for their luck to turn. After recent losses in WSOP and most importantly MLP playoffs I feel BNR has veered off the winning path, Dina will try her best to use home-field to guide BNR back into their winning ways.
ICA has been riding a string of wins that was unprecedented. They have gone blow for blow with everyone they faced and prevailed till last week. Their loss to MIB was either a fluke or it showed a glaring weakness in ICA. They have faced much harder competition and handily won so what went wrong last week? I am positive ICA will go into this key match with some tweaks in their plans to turn their first losing streak around. I truly hope Nish, Trey, Shan, or whoever is captaining this week plays to their advantage. ICA needs to come at BNR, start off strong and with any hope they might just pull off an upset here. This match will be very close and like I have said above, this quite possibly could end up replaying itself in WSOP's finale. This match has much more significance for BNR than ICA because BNR is barely holding onto their first place position while ICA has a commanding 2 game lead in the West.
Outcome: 4-3 BNR
MIB vs FR, Wednesday @6pm, Room: Back to School
Rich is coming off a KEY win vs ICA. They were spiraling out of control going into week 7 but MIB straightened up reeling off 2 wins that have pushed them into fine position going into the home stretch. I thought SPS would catch Rich especially after the win Jason had against MIB but Rich wouldn't have it. He is setting the bar high for his team, I foresee the playoffs for this team. After a outstanding win vs ICA don't expect Rich to under-estimate FR, Corey has a strong and deep team. He will bring 2 to 3 strong players to this match and definitely can not be looked past.
Corey, your team needs to get its self together. You have lost 3 weeks in a row, if you let this continue DS will sneak right up and pass you by. It is important to get multiple players eligible for the playoffs but if you keep playing your weaker players it wont even make a difference. I am surprised you have under-achieved. FR contains half the MLP champions roster and hasn't tore up the competition in WSOP. Maybe Corey isn't calling the right people, maybe it could be luck just hasn't shined on FR, or maybe FR is just lacking the will to win. With any luck, FR pulls this match out and can finally hold their heads up high after a long string of losing weeks.
Outcome: 4-2 FR
PFN vs DS, Thursday @6pm, Room: Bad Times
PFN has done well this season, coming into week 9 2nd in the East. Andy wants the win this week badly. If BNR loses this week and PFN wins they could finally hold at least a part of 1st place. I highly doubt DS will be a significant challenge to PFN but looks can be deceiving. I suspect Andy brings a few subs this week to increase their eligibility list but still plays some pro's. Players like Trav, Andy, and Jamie all are a force to reckon with. Those guys can easily topple DS.
Chele picked up her first win in awhile last week. This turns around a disastrous season for DS. If Chele can win again this week O-M-G people, the western division could suddenly heat up. G_Reaper has been on fire this season, he is one of the key members Chele will have to play this week if she wants a win. Ashton graced WSOP with his first appearance last week and he is also another very important player for DS. Chele has a good team but the question is can she show with her all-stars. Up until last week she hasn't, things could be looking up for DS though if they can win again this week FR is in a heap of trouble.
Outcome: 4-2 PFN
SPS and LPL both have byes this week, don't forget to message Ben or Shan with your credits. Good luck all of you.
