Predictions - Monday
Seeing as MZ wants to prove themself after losing to 8BR, this match will be important to them.
Prediction: 6-1 MZ
PH @ AF
With recent troubles at the AF league, I'm not sure how solid the team will be. My guess is PH and the regulars will win 5-2.
Prediction: 5-2 PH
SS @ EP
SS has been losing players like flies. This won't be too hard for EP.
Prediction: 4-3 EP
PLP @ BS
I'm not sure what is going on with BS, but I think today is the day they fix it.
Prediction: 5-2 BS

Monday Picks
MLP Day 1 without Kayla :( Starts off with BritPool @ MadSkillz - This shouldn't be close. This should be a blowout. BP should get hammered. ...We all said that when they played PF last season. Unfortunately for BP, they're playing MadSkillz after a loss and uh...They're not happy. BritPool does have some shooters though, and the biggest of which: BP8Ball. There's one problem though...he hasn't played in BP for 30 days. So then you have to rely on the regulars like Jan, Slavko, Jai, Kathy, who are all respectable players but they're up against much more consistent players like Pete, Champ Chris, King Hustler, Gaz, and the list could go on but I only have 52 minutes to post this. On paper MZ is clearly better, and I don't think much will change. 'Skillz 5-2.
PoolHustlers @ Absolute Finest - Well AF truly will be one of the big stories of the season, because it could easily be the only time these people ever play together. With that, even on the Internet, there comes a certain amount of comraderie and mental aspect when you're playing with close friends. It is in AF's room, but I don't think any undesirables will get involved in the match, and hopefully they'll let this match go smoothly. AF 6-0 with this team they have, PH starting to pick it up though a little with this team of regulars they've been using. There was quite a bit of friction this past week or so with Theike and Sophie, it seems like for the most part it's been ironed out, but only time can tell. AF has everything to play for here, and with players like RvDBLADE, Smoke, Austen, Tazz, insert normal team member here, and Derek as captain, it's hard to go against them in a match, and I simply can't do it. I think AF has it in 'em to go at least 13-2, and a 5-2 tonight would be one of those 13.
StraightShots @ ElitePool - Oh you talk about a team that's desperate now. StraightShots couldn't even buy a win on their Saturday matches and here's why: Saturday is interleague day, and that's when every league has their best players. And when every league's best players are simply better than most any 7 SS can provide, it's gonna get ugly. So now they finally play a weeknight match, and it's about time they woke up. ElitePool also know that they need a win, so they can keep up with the trio of 3-3 teams in their Division. Also, the biggest thing above all else: This is an intradivision matchup. Head to head looms large if SS can manage a win. WDon't be surprised to see Maniac captain this team to a win, but also don't be surprised if Kansas, Scott, and UltimateHack lead ElitePool to their 3rd win. I think EP wins it 4-3.
PoolPimps @ BlackSilver - Pimps didn't show last week. It's really pathetic but that's been the Pimps every season. Getting a team of 7, and getting them to a match, overall has been a huge problem. BlackSilver has struggled immensely, and they are obviously the most underachieving team in MLP. Guess what? BS are gonna be 2-5 after this. PoolPimps just aren't consistent enough to get anything done in MLP. They squeaked into Playoffs once, season 2, at 6-6 and didn't have any eligible players show. That of course due in large part to Jon leaving in the final week, but even then there were Tour events noone played in, they couldn't get anything done in matches to help, and they haven't changed it much. They've got 2 wins by some miracle of God that I can't even explain, but they're facing a hungry BlackSilver team and Eddie, Monkey, Hero, they're done carrying a 1-win team. huge breakout week for BS I'm gonna go as far as to say 6-1 BS here. Like I've said all through this pick, Pimps need to be a lot better prepared. Every week does count and you know what? They still have a respectable chance of making the Playoffs, but the more they screw off and bring 6, 5, or even 0 players to a match, the more they will get burned.
