Wk 8: T-Minus 3 Games

Crunch time is here, last week spelled the end of the last undefeated team. MC finally picked up their first loss in a tough match against SS. They only brought 5 players which finally took its toll. SS is now in position to steal the top spot if MC cant finish the season out with W's. The East is finally starting to heat up while the West has been trading spots all season. 3 teams are in position to make a run at 1st in the West and I am very curious how who steals the top spot, my money is on PFN. This upcoming week has one key match up that has significant playoff implications in the West so keep an eye out for the EPC/FR match.


-ONE SIDED-

SP (0-7) vs SS (5-2), Monday@6pm, Room: ADV Lounge 3

I believe the headline says it all, this match is going to be pretty one sided. SP hasn't won a game and though I thought they could pull off a win last week I was wrong. I cant put any faith in SP after their loss last week. This team just doesn't want to win. Bev just needs this season to end so SP can start from scratch for season 4.

SS destroyed MC last week with big names showing to mop them up look to see something similar this week minus the big names for SS. SS doesn't need the likes of Lewisss when they are playing a 0-7 team. This should be a fairly simple 5-1 match for SS and you can take that to the bank.
Outcome: 5-1 SS


-ONE SIDED V 2.0-

BNR (4-3) vs PDZ (0-7), Monday@7pm, Room: Welcome to the Jungle

This is exactly like the match above hence the V 2.0. This match features another 0-7 team in PDZ who saw their captain get boxed for this up coming week. This match should be simple for BNR who is looking to make the season sweep of PDZ with this win. BNR needs this easy win to get some distance between SPS who still has an outside shot at the playoffs.

PDZ will probably not show with a full lineup this week because DJ is boxed, I am curious to see who will show but regardless I do not think this 0-7 team has a glimmer of hope against BNR.
Outcome: 5-1 BNR


-WESTERN SHAKE-UP-

DS (3-4) vs PFN (5-2), Wednesday@6pm, Room: A Face in the Crowd

Wild, DS is still in this ladies and gents after a 0-4 start. They are blowing through their match-ups with ease as of late. Look to see this match stay fairly tight if DS can continue playing like they have during their +3 win streak. I suspect DS could even pull this match out they just need a strong showing from Corey and company.

PFN has been doing what you would expect from a solid upstanding team. They pull out the ease wins and battle hard through the really tough matches. This is a team that on any given day could beat anyone in WSOP. Kerry don't look past DS here, they might have lost to you earlier this season but I think this match will be a lot harder for you.
Outcome: 4-2 PFN


-TIME IS RUNNING OUT-

EPC (5-2) vs FR (4-3), Wednesday@7pm, Room: Banditos

EPC has been doing a great job this season. Look to see things continue as long as Jack keeps up his efforts. He has done well turning around EPC's no show tendencies and soon enough people will forget all about EPC's dark past as long as their future keeps looking brighter. Jack needs to win this game if he wants to separate himself from the pack again. I think he has it in him, Jester is also back so that is another positive for EPC. I think you have a very good shot at beating FR this time around Jack, you just need to be careful Petey is a slippery one.

FR's record pretty much sums up how they have played this season, just a tad above par. This team is still a game ahead of DS and has a firm grasp on their current playoff spot but this isn't the time for Petey to get lackadaisical. FR needs to come to this match with Travis, Petey, and most annoyingly Matt. FR needs those big 3 to battle with Jester, Cam, and Uriel. IF both teams have their strongest this match will go to game 7 easily.
Outcome: 4-3 FR


MC (6-1) vs SPS (3-4), Thursday@7pm, Room: Rack em

MC was crushed last week being short staffed finally took its toll on MC. They need to come back strong this week or face another defeat and a chance at losing first place. Zach, Ben, James, Ant, and Saf need to show and hopefully they scrounge up a 6th. This should be a close match if SPS plays carefully.

SPS needs this game to get closer to BNR who has positioned themselves for a playoff run. The time has come they need to step up or shut up SPS doesn't have any more time to waste. 3 games left sitting 2 games out, I am sure you can do the math here. Things aren't looking good especially playing the team with the best record week 8.
Outcome: 4-2 MC
