After a very wild week 8 we have the teams set in the West. LPL has locked in their round 1 playoff bye, PFN's home field is at stake though. SS doesn't have the tiebreak against PFN but w/l is also a contributing factor. PFN could lose home field round 1 but there is still plenty of factors in that. Basically LPL, PFN, and SS have locked in their tickets to the playoffs. On the Eastern side it's a whole different beast. The playoffs could be decided in the final week.
The games to look for this week are BNR vs 8BC and SS vs FR. These two games will be huge, DS just got a easy win because BP withdrew from WSOP. BP would have been a huge factor in the East but withdrew because 2 players were boxed in the last minutes before week 8 started. That put their lineup short of 6 and was enough to justify backing out of WSOP. Their departure is saddening to WSOP but I am sure James, Andy, Ben, Chuck, and the beautiful Dina will continue on. We have the playoffs just around the corner people!! The East is still very much wide open so keep an eye out for DS, BNR, FR, and 8BC. 8BC has pretty much locked in the playoffs but what spot they finish in is all up to this weeks match. there is a lot to look forward to so lets get on with the predictions.
BNR needs to keep doing what they are doing. Sure, last week was a freebie win vs BP but this week is far from that for BNR. 8BC is sitting on top of the East, it might not be a large margin, but it's enough to turn some heads. BNR needs to show up to this game with all guns blazing. Jordy needs to be on form here. The other players BNR added will also be big factors here. I think that BNR is riding a winning wave that wont stop this week. It's the wave that never ends, it goes on and on my friend....
8BC is coming off a crucial loss to FR. Sean needs to turn the winning ways back on. This team is still in the best seat to make the playoffs but with BNR and LPL to play, could they miss out on the playoffs? It's a possibility at the rate 8BC is currently going. Sean and company need to step up HUGE here. 8BC doesn't have the depth BNR has and I think that will be their downfall.
Outcome: 4-2 BNR
