Playoff Week 2 Predictions (Brandi Rocks)

Ok, well 4 dandy matches comin your way this week. The first see's #1 seeded Pool Outlaws against Lava Pool Lounge. On Tuesday we get the big surprise 8th seed from the NL, Pool Legends, against the #5 seeded Pool Masters. Wednesday see's us flip back to the AL, where the #2 seed Quez host the #6 Dreampool. The week caps off w/ a BEAUTY of a match between the #2 ranked Regul8ors and the #3 Absolute Finest. Gunna be a fun week thats all I gotta say, its the cream of the crop and its headin' your way!

Monday - 7pm - (#4) LavaPoolLounge @ (#1) Pool Outlaws - Rebel's Loft
Regular Season Score: 4-3 PO
LPL 4-Way Threat : xx_romper_xx, PistDude, xlx_zxc_xlx & Ultimate_Doom
PO 4-Way Threat: revolutionizingthegame, _Poth, ANACONDA_PYTHON & XxXxAustinxXxX
Who's Gunna Win?: Hmm.....I thought a good few mins on this, and came to the conclusion that if LPL brings its best...It'll.....Win. 1 Key Player missing (namely any of the people in the 4-ways) could spell disaster for either team. I watched PO's match last week and only 2 PO players looked anywhere close to sharp; Dan and Andy. If the rest of the team doesnt step up PO will be watchin the rest of the playoffs from the bench. So what's LPL gotta do to win this? GET AN EARLY LEAD. Jump all over them like BP did. Heck, that match could went 4-0 BP. But it didnt and thats all that matters really. What's PO gotta do to win this? Keep things simple and stick to their own game. They're the most skilled team in MLP and if they do their thing they'll take this.

FINAL SCORE: 4-2 LPL

Tuesday - 7pm - (#8) Pool Legends @ (#5) Pool Masters - Anything Goes
Regular Season Score: 6-1 PM
PL 4-Way Threat:
LuckyDog71 , ll_fink_ll, b_l_u_e_83 & chaasers
PM 4-Way Threat:
ehkohz, i_havethep0wer, CRAZY_QUE & mrsr_pool_perfection
Who's Gunna Win?: Actually PM vs PM #2 (PL). This may be more of an important match to PM then is already obvious. Many of it's players jumped ship and hopped over to PL mid-way through the season and it's scary to think of how strong a team PM would have right now if this woulda never had happened. So who's gunna win this affair? The ACTUAL PM team. Sure, PL has momentum after knocking off the #1 seeded Hustlers but outta all the teams left in the NL, PL most likely didnt wanna see PM the week after the PH match. But, in my opinion, the team w/ the best chemisty has to be PM. So what's PL gotta do to win this match? Throw all you got at PM right outta the gate and take out their guns like Missy. This'll force Matt and Crazy to play earlier then normal. Whats PM gotta do to win this? Stay patient. Let PL make the first mistake each game and then capitalize on their errors.

FINAL SCORE: 4-2 PM

Wednesday - 7pm - (#6) Dreampool @ (#2) Quez - Bad Apples
Regular Season Score: 6-1 Qz
DP 4-Way Threat _Pascal_ , ll_efc_ll , Super_Mario_64_ & 010--010
Qz 4-Way Threat: IcemanGG, c_i_c_a_t_r_i_x, Kyle_Z_45 & C_o_w_b_o_y_y
Who's Gunna Win?: I don't see an upset happening for DP this week like they pulled off vs PFN last week (mind you PFN only had 4 peeps to start with). Qz is just too strong of a team and I KNOW they want PO to win their match so they can have a rumble in the AL Championship match. But, of course, there's always a chance for an upset; so whats DP gotta do to win this? Crash a few Qz players computers because thats the only way I can see them pulling this match out. On the other end of the spectrum, Qz needs to use their motive to fire themselves up. Their motive - playing a rematch w/ PO next week...possibly.

Thursday - 7pm - (#3) Absolute Finest @ (#2) Regul8ors - Bent Cue
Regular Season Score: 4-3 AF
AF 4-Way Threat: fire_wolf87, RvDBLADE, zl_stu_lz & derekgnr
REG 4-Way Threat: Master_Asia, _james15_, flip_is_krunk & jerfighter
Who's Gunna Win?: Coin-Flip. Regs - Heads, AF - Tails ... Well look at that...Landed on its side, what are the chances? This one will be tight, I'll even go as far as to call it the match of the week. The winner of this will go into the NL Championship match as a heavy favorite over either PM or PL. It's my Job to make a pick on who's gunna win this and my choice is Regs. One reason for this is that AF only has 9 players eligible for playoffs. That only leaves them w/ room to have 2 people missing. Any more then that and we may see a timer win if it goes as far as game 7. Ewwww. So what's AF gotta do to prove me wrong? fire_wolf87: " Win 4 games." On the flip-side the Regs NEED to get their match-ups. James and fire_wolf and Pita and RvDBLADE. If these 2 matches happen that'd more then likely give Regs an advantage.
