I am very excited about this upcoming week. I suspect you have seen, but, if you haven't PFN is back in WSOP. PFN took XPL's spot after XPL died. Has that really changed the field? Not one bit, in inter leagues XPL has pretty much all the players PFN uses so I suspect Kerry will field the exact same team she ran with XPL. I just don't understand why she went to XPL in the first place all the players spent the time and energy to get eligible only to hop back to PFN, will that cause some tension in their ranks? We will find out this week. There are some interesting divisional matches Wk 4, PFN vs FR and SPS vs SS stand out the most to me. These teams are holding playoff spots 1/3rd of the way through the season and these outcomes could be crucial for the bottom dwellers.
-ONE SIDED-
MC (3-0) vs PDZ (0-3), Monday@7pm, Room: Rack'em
MC has been amazing so far this season. Ben and James have done a swell job captaining so far this season. The players they have just keep winning. I don't envy PDZ, this week they have big shoes to fill. This match will be fairly simple, MC starts off with a early lead and they win the match early. I just don't think PDZ has the firepower here. This is like the USA vs Jamaica, a bunch of stoners that will be punked around the whole match.
PDZ has put up a fight all season I will give them that much. they just haven't had things go their way yet. Could they win this week against MC? Yes, sure anyone can get lucky but will it happen? No, lets be practical here this is a 0-3 team going against an undefeated team with arguably one of the most clutch players in ypool currently. I would put my money on MC all night long.
Outcome: 5-1 MC
-CRUNCH TIME-
BNR (1-2) vs DS (0-3), Mon@7pm, Room: Welcome to the Jungle
BNR finally picked up a win last week. They are back on their horses running off to another playoff appearance, or are they? it's really to soon to tell where BNR will end up. I think if Dina can win this week she has a good shot at retaking a top 3 spot. I suspect a reshuffling after this week in the East. This cross-divisional clash has a lot of implications BNR needs Joe, Croz, and Jordy to play lights out.
DS has just been digging a deeper grave each week. They lost some key players last season and are feeling it now. IF DS cant get Corey involved more they likely will be having a lame duck season 3. Not one player on DS' lineup has a winning record besides Ash who hasn't been seen since week 1. DS needs someone to step-up, take control, and carry this team. This is crunch time, can you turn this season around?
Outcome: 4-2 BNR
-Under Achievers vs Over Achievers-
SP (0-3) vs EPC (2-1), Tuesday@6pm, Room: Adv Lounge 3
SP has been far from amazing and are currently on a -13 streak if you add up last season and this. Any sane man would not predict them to win this match. They haven't been horrible this season they just cant get a W. This isn't a surprise though because as stated before they seem to be really good at losing here in WSOP and not much else.
EPC shouldn't have a problem tonight. Jack should rock SP's socks off here. Cam, Uriel and company will handle SP. The only thing EPC needs to worry about is if they can or cant bring a full team. Jack will show with enough to handle SP. Lay the hammer down Jack, prove that your team is worth consideration in the playoffs.
Outcome: 4-2 EPC
-Eastern Showdown-
SPS (2-1) vs SS (2-1), Tuesday@7pm, Room: Sweet Jane
SPS ran by Heather has been superb all of this season. I think this clash will be close and there will be plenty of tension between the teams. Heather wants this game and I think she will have her team playing very carefully. This match will run down to the wire, I just don't know if SPS can hold up against SS' strength.
Shelle has Jon and company. This team is solid the only hiccup was against MC who turns out to be the same to SPS hiccuped against. This match will be an interesting indicator as to who is surely going to make the playoffs and who still might or might not miss out. SS has the upper hand at the moment. The records show a tie between these teams but I just think that the edge goes to SS.
Outcome: 4-2 SS
-Western Showdown-
PFN (2-1) vs FR (3-0), Wednesday@6pm, Room: Bad Times
Kerry might have been XPL at one point but she has always been PFN through and through. This team is scary, I wouldn't expect anything less than greatness when associating any team with PFN. They have made the playoffs every season since WSOP was established. I suspect she will have her normal XPL crew plus Brent possibly more. I am curious to see who Kerry decides to play against their Western Division foe. This will be 2 tough matches in a row for PFN. Could the loss to SS effect Kerry's strategies here? There are so many questions and not enough time for answers. Let's see how this match pans out I suspect it could go either way.
Petey took control of FR solely this season and look at the start he has. FR is sitting at the top looking down with a undefeated 3-0 record. The players Petey can call are limited but most are very good. Travis is a very solid shooter, Matt is good as well (it would be nice to see some kind of humbleness out of Matt), and you cant forget about Petey the captain who will not want to lose to PFN. There is a lot of history between these two teams and I am intrigued to see how Petey calls his players. I think home field for PFN will be the X-factor.
Outcome:4-3 XPL errr PFN
