Tour Champions

Congratulations goes out to Pool Masters who for the first time, have ensured the PoolFighters don't win ANOTHER Championship, as they had a 40-point lead over 2nd place PoolFiction coming into this weke's events. I haven't counted points yet because Sophie's being nice and letting me do 'em tomorrow (she always does) :D but it doesn't matter much except for 2nd and down. So, I guess it's time to look back at PM's run through the Tour.

Once Luckydog left quite a few people expected PM to falter, being that Lucky had a huge beginning to the Tour season. That was before someone named damn_balls_r_killn me stepped up and set a strictly-1vs1 Streak record of 16, winning back to back tours, dynmite_que broke out for a few weeks, a period which saw PM's 3rd Tour win. Then, with PoolFiction closing in on the lead, Ehkohz, became, a monster. Back to back Cam jump wins, and that was all PM needed. Consistently getting 7 and 8 playes in every week really does pay off.

PoolMasters' week by week domination of the Tour, with a low of 17 (hit 3 times), speaks for itself. Now the only thing left is what PoolFighters have come 3 wins short of doing multiple times (Conference Final, and 2 of 3 in the WS for those who don't get it): Win the World Series.

By the way Ehkohz and que will both be on the NL Mountain All-Star team. Would it surprise anyone to see either become All-Star MVP? Wouldn't me. Less than 24 hours to the initial 9v9 events, Missy and Henry (better be his name, I've seen it mentioned) =s will both be in action against the NL Pacific team.

P.S.: Advantage Mountain, and advantage NL.


Interview with HS Captain Arusluv

Yes, interview week hath begun, and being that I suck at interviews I was lucky to get a first-timer! Maybe I'm just really good at interviews and I have an eye for stuff like this like a hidden talent ;)

Q: Well Aaron, been a long season but you finally know that you guys are in the Playoffs, do you guys feel like you can finally rest easier now during week 15?
A: No, we need to keep it going , we want to beat AF. they are a good team and if we could pull out a win over them it would be great motivation for the playoffs!

Q: Now, you guys could be as high as a #6 seed, is there any one opponent you guys really want in the Playoffs?
A: Well , to get to the top u have to beat the best , and the teams in our bracket are all pretty good. We will just try our best against whoever we get.

Q: So you guys are pretty confident if you stayed the #7 seed and Regs had #2 that you could really take it to them and even beat them?
A: i think it would be a good rematch and yes , i think we could come out on top, but i dun want to jinx us

Q: 5-8 last season, you weren't there the whole time this season but when you came back, what worked with the team?
A: Well first of all , i left {problems in lg} so i went to bs and Cowboy74107 took over as Capt. , and he had a nice start to the season , then when i came back we lost a few , i thought it was me bringing badluck, but everyone stood behind me , and i have known most of these ppl like 3 or 4 years so we got our stuff together and came to play

Q: So you're in the World Series. It's 1-1 in the series, and the decider is tied 3-3. Somehow by some divine intereference you've used 6 complete rookies who just barely got 3 games in, and you've managed this. Of your usual team, who gets the call for game 7?
A: EZ answer x_Jeramie_x

Q: Why, just for the folks who have no clue what he's done. I know, but they don't ;)
A: since i been back as Capt , he has not lost - he plays very smart and he is here for the team every week , if i needed to sit him , he would , no bitches , but y would i do that :P

Q: If you could've done 1 thing differently this season, what would it be?
A: never left HS

Q: And how I usually end these silly things: Any closing comments?
A: I Just want to say how proud i am of this team , we have been through alot this season some pretty wins , some ugly losses , some lucky wins and some unlucky losses but no matter what this team has stuck together and here we are in playoffs.Oh, and all the lg stuff we went through with scrollers, booters, and just all around buttholes , this team stayed strong!!! I Lovem All!!!! GL in Playoffs HS

Alrighty, thanks a lot Aaron, see you and HotShotz in June, and hopefully you guys will give me a nice little World Series run to type about ;)

So, there's the first interview victim :D Pita! I'm coming for you!
