Tuesday Night
Central - So with CKP's forfeit win, they're 6-8, 1 game behind XPool...The 4-way tie possibility is still there. Wouldn't it be some kind of finish?
Mountain - BlackSilver visiting the BeerBallers, Kim umping her first of 2 matches this week, reason she's doing so many because apparently some people are curious and unhappy, she's having surgery in a week, so best wishes in advance to her and of course hopefully all goes well, and hopefully now the few people who aren't as happy, they'll shut up or they can go have surgery themself. BlackSilver completely out of the Playoffs but it didn't stop them from most likely dragging down the Beer Ballers with them. It was over in 6 as BS survived an early 8 from spartak, BlackSilver without Victor: 1-0, 4/3. Interesting stat to watch much like MZ's record without king_hustler which is like...0-5, 0/35 ain't it? OK not that bad but it's interesting the effect 1 person could possibly have on a team. BlackSilver, assuming they return, I think need to focus on making an example of Breakers Alley, get a big win, and hopefully come back strong to start off Season 6. By the way BlackSilver is 4-10. As for HotShotz they get into a battle with Break and Run but come out on top 5-2, big win from x_jeramie_x AGAIN this time to clinch it, eliminating Break and Run from the Playoffs and improving to 8-5 with a match against bearskins coming up this week, LuckyPool is now in absolute must-win mode. They've got ChampionsPool Wednesday.
Pacific - As I said BNR is gone, 4-10, they've certainly made some noise this season though, and the play of emerald_eidolon and jerm_is_evil, the only 2 BNR wins from tonight how fitting, will make this team that much more dangerous next season. They've flirted with playoffs early in just about every season and dropped off, this season I think despite their record they've played their best games the past few weeks. They finish out with ChampionsPool, who, if anybody would beat out PL to make Playoffs, it would be these guys. BeerBallers also have a chance, a game and a half behind, a PL win eliminates them however. ChampionsPool in must-win mode, it's even bigger than PFN-PO, ChampionsPool in Bicycle Race visiting LuckyPool. Both teams, must-win, THAT is the fun part of MLP.
Bit of a lacking post, like I said, I'm sick, tired, none of the seeding has changed, but I do have another Playoff Moment, let's stick with Season 2, Round 1 and 2.
After beating CueKeepers in week 12 to give themself the #3 seed in the NL (CKP played the makeup match on the condition it would not affect their record, as they had 12 games played already), Outlaws get a forfeit win over PoolPimps who, after Jon left them, had nobody available to play. Outlaws got CKP in the 2nd round anyways, and made quick work of them in the match that did count. It was CKP's first and only home loss of Season 2, in the 7 they played at home including Playoffs. Interesting to note it's the only match CueKeepers have ever played in their room for the Playoffs. Even more interesting, they flat-out haven't won a Playoff game ever.
