Week 6: Eastern Shakedown

What a wild bunch of game 7's last week. 4 Matches went to tiebreaker which was a record in WSOP. I am very surprised we had so many close games but the competition is high. I am not going to toot my own horn too much but WSOP in its 2nd season has surpassed quite a few other inter leagues. Look to see the close matches continue this season and carryover into the next. Recapping week 5 LPL hammered PFN, James pulled out game 7 vs FR, Sean carried his team with 2 wins vs SS, Jason pulled out SPS' 1st win of the season, and Cam squeaked out game 7 vs Jordy putting DS temporarily in the last playoff spot. On with week 6, no more league switching so hopefully everyone likes the teams they are currently on.

EASTERN MATCHES
----

FR vs DS, Monday @6pm, Room: Beetle Spot

Well this should be an interesting match winner of this takes sole possession of second place in the East. Aside from Cam and Corey can Chuck or someone else on DS step-up and help them against the very powerful FR team that has been slipping as of late. Freedom lost a heart breaker to BP with Trav getting ran broke he will be out for revenge in this match add Petey, Matt, and Ben beside him this should be a good one. FR will need to show they can shake off the last two weeks and get their ducks in a row. I don't think they will get out of their rut this week with a DS team that keeps chugging along.
Outcome: 4-3 DS


8BC vs BP, Monday @6pm, Room: Forward Somersault

8BC has some talent Sean has a perfect 5-0 record for 8BC and Reese at 4-0 is also very impressive. The only team that could stop 8BC at this rate is LPL. Sean has been doing wonders as a player and captain. His team is tearing up the East and if you just look at the records there is no way BP holds up. Sadly records aren't everything you have to factor in yahoo and some luck to boot. 8BC surely has the advantage though this week. BP pulled out a huge win last week against FR it has turned their season around. They now have hope and they are carrying that with them into this match. their heart should push this close but will it end well for BP?
Outcome: 4-3 8BC

CROSS-DIVISIONAL MATCH
----

SP vs BNR, Monday @6pm, Room: Adv Lounge 3

This match should be intense. Looking back on last week both teams lost game 7 tiebreakers. This week will not be so close. BNR has just acquired 3 new players to their team and those players will increase BNR's depth at just the right time to make a run at the playoffs. We are over the season hump and SP is still hasn't won a match. I cant see Pete winning this match either. Chip will captain BNR in this match and his leadership will be key here, they win this and odds are they separate themselves from the gutter aka BP. Look to see this match end close but not close enough for a decider.
Outcome: 4-2 BNR

EASTERN MATCH
----

SS vs PFN, Thursday @7pm, Room: All Mixed Up

SS has done just enough to keep their playoff spot in hand. They are lucky to have teams like SPS and SP in their division. Pita would love this win against rival PFN. SS hasn't been all that great when their big 3 step up they seem to win though. Nick, Tonz, and Pascal need to step their game up if they want a shot at winning this week. Andy and company are deadly they have hiccuped in recent weeks but this could be the time they shake off the rust.

Andy can you pull your team together? Chris out last week hurt PFN badly but don't worry about that now. Hopefully for PFN Jamie, Chris, and Andy can all make this match. Players like AJ and Kerry need to pickup a win as well if they want to slobber SS. I truly believe PFN has the advantage here. IF Jon shows for SS this match will definitely end in a game 7 decider.
Outcome: 4-2 PFN
