Wednesday Picks
ElitePool @ LPL at 8:00 in Rack 'Em, and EP has declined considerably. They couldn't keep their team on the same page for any more than 3 weeks at a time in Season 4, it was only predictable, long-time Elites headed to IndianPool apparently while I was gone, and the toilet water goes round and round until it reaches the sewers. LPL I think is the better team, they'll show it by winning tonight, then making the playoffs, and maybe, just maybe, finding a way into the 2nd round. Romper and ogges will be the frontrunners of the LPL attack, throw in Jas who went deep into the Reg Tourney. This team is certainly a formidable opponent as long as they hold it all together this season. ElitePool on the other hand will struggle like Rusty Wallace at the Daytona. GOOD LUCK RUSTY I'M ROOTING FOR YA =D
LuckyPool @ Pool Hustlers, match of the night, at 8 in the 2nd Intermediate Lounge. LuckyPool will have a legitimate threat team this season. I said that before, I know, twice, this time if they can keep everyone, avoid the infighting, they've got a great chance at winning this match...But I can't go against the Hustlers. When you put Krunal and Adnan on a team there's gonna be controversy, and it will get into the heads of the opponents, already the psychological edge goes to to PH in the whole NL. Then you have the actual playing, you gotta wonder if Krunal and Adnan will play, then Ace Jim, then will TRen show up? Is alex what he used to be? A lot of questions, but this PH team is scary. They may easily get a big-time 5-0 start, because noone will know what to expect. Middle and end of the season will be their toughest challenges, when teams finally get an idea of what they're bringing, and how to control themselves. I give this match to PH 5-2.
Then at 9, StraightShots and UnitedPool, it's in back Somersault, that's all UP has going for them right? Wrong. But I also think GodsAccess asking for players in the shoutbox is stupid. -_-UP did give the Regs a fight last season, showing games aren't played on paper, they're played WITH paper right Jammy and Marty? :D Shots should win this, but early in the season they may have trouble getting back into the feel, and that's when a team like UnitedPool, who would get pimpslapped if it were week 10 or so, should take advantage and play their hardest to pick up the win. Ya know? I'm gonna take the upset here. I'll give UnitedPool a 4-3 win. They're deeper, they do have some good shooters, StraightShots have to be ready for them.
