BNR vs DS, Wednesday @ 7pm, Room: Welcome to the Jungle
BNR pulled out a massive turn around from where they were earlier this season. After their rough defeat at the hands of BP they brought in some key players and that carried them to their 2nd Eastern title. I wouldn't expect nothing less from Dina and Chip. They have gone through a lot together. I suspect that BNR with players like Jordy, Croz, Chip, and company can handle almost anyone on the Eastern side. I am worried though, Chip has some tough decisions to make. Who will he match against DS' greats. IF Chip can carry his team like he did week 10 he might not need to worry much about this match. Will the pressure of the playoffs effect BNR? I suppose we will soon find out.
Chele, your DS team took down a solid 8BC team that decided to stop showing up for games week 7. How fitting is it to have Chuck put the last knife in 8BC. Will that happen with BNR? I am not too positive. Chele has a far more challenging lineup Rd2 than she did Monday in Rd 1. Roy needs to play carefully like he did earlier this week if they expect to win. Every man on DS is key here, looking back DS barely won in a game 7 against BNR before BNR added some depth. DS lost last week in a game 6 that decided who would be top dog in the East. Chele tastes revenge could she pull off the upset here?
Outcome: 4-3 BNR

LPL vs SS, Thursday @7pm, Room: Under Pressure
LPL needs to show tonight and next week. IF they can show with the full quality and depth of their lineup there is no doubt in my mind they take WSOP. This all depends on how much this team wants to win. Ant and Kevin you can pretty much count on for tonight but what about next week? Looking back on LPL's past week-day playoff history most recently in MLP they fell short on players that cost them a game 3. There has been more than one week this season LPL has shown with less than 6. Who shows Tino? I say they cant scrounge up 6 but still win with 5.
Jon that crazy canuck is doing his fair share for this SS team. Pita and company steamrolled PFN like they were nothing. Players like Mina, Jamie, and James. That kind of lineup was put to shame by SS. I think they could very well make a run and keep this match-up close. Jon needs to play like he did in the All-star match. Nick needs to keep up doing what he is doing. Home field will affect SS though. Without the advantage of arranging match-ups will tip the scale in LPL's favor.
Outcome: 4-3 LPL, the match goes to game 7 because LPL fails to show with 6.
