Top 5 Reasons Why This World Series Is Unique

#1: The lack of a #1 seed - Season 2: It was PFN and SS, the 2 #1 seeds in their respective conferences. In 3, Pool Outlaws smoked the entire NL and went back for seconds on a few teams as they rolled to an undefeated season, and won the World Series in 3, they were the NL #1 seed. Season 4: Those wascawwy wabbits from PoolFiction go again, and they were the #1 seed in the AL. A #1 seed was the eventual winner of the World Series, not happening this time.

#2: Where's the Reg. Season Champs? - StraightShots won it in Season 2, and the World Series. Season 3, PO, you know the story. Season 4, PFN, you know the story. Season 5, PO, you... Don't see them anywhere. Quez were #2 in the AL, PL was... Well they weren't #1.

#3: How did the low seed get here? - This is the first time anyone lower than a 3 seed (PFN in Season 3) has made the World Series.Is there ANY stopping PL? Well...*looks at Quez* probably.

#4: Huh? Who are these new guys?!?!? - Pool Legends REPLACED a League, and came in 1-5? Uh... E, nuff, said. And also, neither Quez or Pool Legends were in MLP last season, at least the actual leagues weren't. So this is the first World Series not involving 2nd-season or more Leagues.

#5: Hey you idiots the Tour counts! - Neither League has a Big League Tour victory. Sure Luckydog won one for Regs during the 3 minutes he was with them (which doubles the time spent with his girlfriend on MLP nights) ;) but for PL? Not so much. Quez? ...No.

So basically, those are 5 reasons you may not know what to expect out of this World Series because...never been anything like it! Mental advantage to PL though, they were expected to go out rd. 1, 2 at best. Well, what do they have to lose? Talent advantage: QZ. QZ is expected to smoke the Legends, but who knows? Luckydog may have that slingshot loaded and aimed high, they do say the bigger they are the harder they fall, this WILL be a 3-match World Series.
