More changes, etc.

MLP Season 5 just around the corner already, and the league changing has commenced over the weekend.

PoolFiction: hi44844 left PF to play with PoolFiction. Though PFN will find it very hard to head to the World Series an unearthly 4th consecutive time, they will still continue to make noise in the season.

BeerBallers: They'll lose partslady to WA, and of course I'm not too familiar with them, but DreamPool is also going to be in MLP. Bad news potentially for everyone else in MLP, being that the DreamPool team is not full of pushovers. BeerBallers so far have lost Pascal over to them. That's gonna be one rather tough void to fill.

Regul8ors: They've picked up Cobain_17 over the weekend. Nice, huh? While he may not be considered a marquee player everywhere, last I knew he's quite a formidable opponent. The regs may be a little off this season, but who knows?

PoolHustlers: In addition to losing Cobain, they also lose e_f_c. He's going to the Outlaws. As long as the Outlaws can find a capable captain to take Kevin's place, the Outlaws will continue to be a heavy force in MLP next season.

Pool Outlaws: BooXXXX left to join Kevin over in QZ. But hey...does that matter too much? Not when the Outlaws ALSO get Ray, and that's xlx_mvp_xlx Ray. Can a cubby get a "yikes!"?

BritPool: They pick up river_blake from CueKeepers after losing skips_97_civic to PP. Frankly they're not getting the better end of the stick here. BritPool is really gonna struggle again this upcoming season.

8BallRunners: Trouble4some... Remember him? All-Star MVP? One of PF's big weapons? Forget it, he's gone. He's gonna play, it seems, for 8ballrunners. With him, coupled with the respectable team they already have, they're sure to make some noise this season. They also pick up HappyPool's copenhagen8us, who is quite capable of picking up possibly about a 40-60 winning percentage.

LPL: Gets...Rufferman. Last season, first week for LPL, they had one uh-uh-uh-u-gly match, and ruffer wasn't too happy with his performance either. He comes from BlackSilver, a team personally I believe he played better with. Ruff will have a much better season I believe, and by better I'm thinking maybe 10 or so wins, and possibly a Tour victory.

ElitePool: Finally, scotter's a free agent apparently. Anyone who gets him, I would guess it's between PO, DP, and BBM, is gonna be pretty darn good. But, hey, I don't get to hang around 24/7 on the internet until this week or next. So, he may be against joining either of those leagues. But of those 3, PO needs him the least obviously.

So far, I would take the Outlaws to win the World Series for Season 5. The only problem they could potentially face this far in, is getting a good captain. Something they shouldn't really have any problem with.

Until some other time, cya.
