I would like to welcome everyone back to WSOP. The 2nd season of WSOP will see a few changes. We have quite a few new admins this season and some new teams as well. Lets welcome Dina, Sharon, and Chuck to the WSOP admin team. I would also like to welcome 8BC, EC, and BP to WSOP. They will provide us with a bit more competition this season and hopefully one or more of these teams can take a playoff spot in their inaugural season. The rules this season haven't changed much, we added one thing to the site which is very important for all captains. Please look over the boxed player list on the main page of WSOP, this page will show all the players boxed each week. I hope everyone has a great season and lets all be respectful and have LOTS of fun.
Preseason Predictions:
#1-PFN-they take first with a solid team that is lead by 2 admins from WSOP.
#2-LPL-players like Ant, Daru, Tino, and much more... They would be first if they showed consistently.
#3-BNR-Dina has given her power to Chip, Chip will do a good job but will their lack of a big name (besides Kalpz) hurt their chances of success?
#4-FR-Petey and Ebs have lost a few players this season but gained some as well. Trav, Ben, Petey, and more could surely hold their own with any of the big boys listed above. FR's potential is high but can they make it to the finals again? I wouldn't count them out.
#5-BP-BritPool might be new to WSOP but they sure aren't new to inters. Brandi will captain this team well and are surely a lock to make the playoffs with players like James, Trey, and Pommy.
#6-DS-Chele had a rough WSOP season 1. This season should be much better they now have Corey. Look to see this team play well but fall short in a strong division.
#7-SPS-Jason experienced a rough loss in the last week of WSOP that cost them the playoffs. I think they will break through this season in a division that only has 2 teams that are stronger than SPS.
#8-8BC-Sean, I just don't know if you have what it takes in this league Bro. I am worried you will step-down before the season is even over. I suppose we will just have to see if you are worthy of my respect.
#9-EC-EC who? I didn't think you guys played inters anymore? You guys run a lot more tournies than your roommates but the talent level is lacking on your team. I hope you guys do well but I am not expecting it.
#10-MIB-MIB plugs along you guys made the playoffs last season but I don't think you will be able to contend with this level of competition.

Petey vs Jason what a EPIC match. Petey has the upper hand here with a solid team that are coming into this season with high expectations. Solid players like Travis, Adam, Petey, and Ben have very good talent. The only problem is how well will they play? Sometimes they show firing on all cylinders and other days they are just pushovers. Petey wont be pushed over by Jason in this match though.
Jason is still licking his wound from last season. Hopefully that wound is a reminder that he cant get lackadaisical against anyone in WSOP. Jason will bring a strong team but one that is missing the big names that are key under pressure. Sure he has solid players but none that scare anyone. Petey will use his home field advantage against Jason and will take the lead early and will not lose it.
Outcome: 4-2 FR

Dina has immense trust in Chip she hasn't given up her captain role since she started roughly 8 years ago. Will she take it back if Chip starts off rocky? Maybe IF that were to happen, something I think to be impossible. Chip has players like Kalpz, Ross, and himself all of which can get him a win this week. I say they have the same outcome FR will have...
Outcome: 4-2 BNR
DS vs BP, Tuesday @6pm, Room: A Face in the Crowd
Chele had a rough season 1. She made some key mistakes that cost her some timer losses. I think she has learned from this and season 2 is her time to shine. DS will show where they stand in this match. If they can beat BP then they can go farther than I predicted them to go this season. Chele has Corey who can draw in some bigger names, he was apart of FR's run into the playoffs and now he determined to do it with DS. Look to see Chele call her players well and this match will end very close.
Brandi is a really good captain. She mostly sticks to weekend inters but she gets a chance to prove she isn't just a weekender. She is captaining in a tough inter league and she will relish the opportunity to prove why BP are going to make the playoffs. Brandi has Pommy, Drew, and James. These players can get Brandi 3 wins alone. Look to see Brandi start off slow but end this match neck and neck.
Outcome: 4-3 BP

EC aren't very well known, they have been around for some time but aren't known for playing Inters. Will these introverts throw some punches at the strongest lineup in WSOP? negative.
LPL are going to be a threat to reckon with. They have a team that can beat anyone hands down. The only problem LPL have is running tournies to get players eligible. That laziness will cost them the first place seed but it will not cost them in this match. They will win this in 4 games and only show with 5 players.
Outcome: 5-1 LPL
PFN vs MIB, Thursday @6pm, Room: Bad Times
Andy will have no trouble this week. MIB who? that's what Andy is thinking. He will be able to throw in some subs week one. Players like Chris, Mina, and Andy should have this in the bag. I hope this match ends up close but I really cant see it happening.
I know Rich is no longer admin in MIB and that will effect their team. I am wonder if it will end up being a positive or negative. Rich pissed off a few players last season, namely Eddie. I am curious to see if Kris can bring in some players to actually make MIB a threat. I cant see it happening especially not week one.
Outcome: 5-1 PFN
