Week 13 Spotlight Matches
Monday: Pool Legends @ Absolute Finest - Wins needed big-time for both teams. Legends are playing 2nd fiddle to ChampionsPool while AF is barely holding on to their Mountain Division lead. The big criticism of AF has been that they can't beat tough teams. The fact that PF didn't really have much of a team at all doesn't help AF's case any but you can't change that they are 10-2, they've got a player who can potentially break the win streak record in fire_wolf87 if he doesn't try tonight, and again who cares that Luis tossed a game for Nick's 16th straight? A win is a win, as long as the game was played. So again best wishes to fire_wolf87 as he goes to put his name among the great win streaks in MLP. Of course...ph-alex from MadSkillz going for the Skill Rating, and PH's pomking could break BOTH of those Sunday night, with a bonkers 3RD Cam Jump in a row. Wild week in store!
Tuesday: BeerBall Masters @ Hot Shotz - Both teams coming off losses last week, BBM needs to start winning again to keep pace with ChampionsPool and Pool Legends, while HotShotz needs wins to fend off a LuckyPool team who will be guaranteed their most wins in their 3-season MLP Career, still hungry for a Playoff spot. BBM headline dof course by pretty much the only player who has played all season with the team, Ivey, and Hot Shotz has a guy, you may have heard of him, Glenno who has shown up lately and shown up well. He's a clutch shooter, HS' best bet for a 3-3 situation, and they may very well need him here. What a match it figures to be.
Wednesday: ChampionsPool @ Pool Hustlers - Because I'm umping. Actually it's because PH nearly got rocked by Break and Run last week, and it was directly because they got arrogant. BNR had PH dead to rights in game 7 after Cory blew it, but the Hustlers ended up stealing the win. ChampionsPool 2 weeks ago got out with a win over Pool Legends, and then they had a confidence-builder against Pool Pimps where they got a 6-1 win, 2-3 of the games went on timer. I still think l3lazer's getting screwed by PLP's brilliant (rolls eyes) admins, but that's another story for another time. You cannot fall asleep on CHP or players like mjaust will make you pay. Look for another dogfight for PH.
Thursday: PoolFighters @ Pool Masters - PF needs to get a team this week. They've clinched a Playoff spot, yes they probably won't win the Division over the Regs, but they have not clinched a solid seed yet. Until they do, they need to keep showing up with a good team and need to keep trying to win matches. Last week was a pathetic example of that. I'm surprised Jeff didn't have to play. Pool Masters are looking to catch Absolute Finest and...Who would've thought PoolMasters would be cheering for Pool Legends? Heh...Stranger things have happened. dynamite_que vs. Luis, wouldn't that be quite the matchup? Luis could very well be PF's All-Star, he hasn't been at every match but I would say he's the nicest good player on the team. That's yet to be decided though.
And so, 4 great matches, and a bunch more that will be just as good. Don't forget tonight in the Tour fire_wolf, pomking, and ph-alex will all have chances to get to the top of a list, and of course pomking could break BOTH records tonight. It'll certainly be something to see.
