Well, time to explain who got what and why. Draft_redneck plowed his way through the Big League Tour this past week and then came back and won game 1 of CZ's match against Blazing Cues (doesn't say much but... he's the only real standout.) As for Luckydog... I'm only going to spend a moment on this and move on.
Sova allowed jadakiss to come back to MLP and play for him, and he had non-pool friends from both San Francisco and New Jersey sign him up for interleagues. Sova said it would "really fuck em up." He is going to be banned, if I or Pom have any say in the matter, at least until Season 10 provided there is a Season 10 and provided he cares enough to be unbanned. Either way the ban would probably be lifted anyways just for the sake of unbanning him. But that's all to be decided tonight. Jada went to Sova asking for help on his PRO banishment, which I'll say was pretty unfair. But lol PRO etc. Sova said he would no longer keep sticking up for him, because he had 3 IP requests (and boy did I really get on Sova that night) in the past 24 hours and he told Jada it was becoming way too obvious. So while one redeeming quality is now he's apologizing and was ratted on for wanting out... He still blatantly lied multiple times and well... That's why he beats out lr1sh of 8BR (and the below-mentioned losers in the lobby that night) for thinking typing in Spanish when it's not meant to annoy anyone is such a crime. By the way guys, if you start typing in a foreign language I know you're bullshitting and I WILL tell you to stop. I have common sense unlike you and if you think it's unfair, that's just too damn bad.
Onto the matches...
Mostly every match this week ha sthe potential to be extremely close, except for HS-CZ and DP-BP. DP sucks, HS are good but not good enough for CZ.
PoolFiction and Malditos should be very close. MLD are coming off a total ass-raping of 8Ball Runners in which they even made a few 8BRs cry home to their lobby (lil agent kicks so much ass for that btw) and where Jamie finally got back on the winning track in PFN's blowout W, it'll be interesting to see how PoolFiction plays this week.
CueKeepers wouldn't have a chance at beating EZ8 the way they've played, if EZ8 had more than 3 level heads on the entire team. They needed a forfeit win in game 7 to avoid losing to LUCKY SHOTS. CKP are right on par with 8BR in terms of accomplishments compared to talent.
Pool Masters and Lucky Shots... Like I said about LS, they have a chance. They've played very well the past couple weeks, by their standards. l3ig_t seems to have maybe hit a groove, and craig continues to silently play good. Pool Masters... I keep getting on them for being underachievers. They are on upset watch.
Do Pool Loverz actually have a chance at beating 8BR? Not a good one but it should be close so there's always a chance. 8BR have sucked the past 2 weeks in comparison to what they should be doing. It's hard to say that with a convincing (to say the least) win over PFN 2 weeks ago, but how many times could they go with those 7 and get wins? Pool Loverz are good now but not great, but they are making a desparation push for the Playoffs and to get #5 all they have to do is do better than Hot Shotz. It could happen. Pool Legends are on upset watch. They no longer have jada, or Sova, or it seems Pabby has also left the league so no Pabs either. UNY are settled into MLP now, and they knocked off BP in a match where finally heavymetalisbest was given his first MLP loss. It came in game 6 as wlfcherokee, UNY's last player, clinched the match for UNY 4-2 (4-3 on the forfeit.) Legends have a little bit of a disadvantage to overcome this week, but they also have until Thursday to manage it.
2 teams already eliminated from winning the NL (no surprises here) but still played maybe for a last gasp push into 5th place. It's unlikely yes, but stranger things have happened (Black&Silver a few seasons ago, anyone? Pool Legends when they came in and had to win out just to make the Playoffs because they took over a shitty record?) Cues basically must win out the rest of the season and even though they won't, it'd be nice to see them pick up a 2nd win this week. They've been reliable for the most part all season with members. If anybody should end up with the worst record it's oh-so-unreliable DP. But "should" doesn't really exist in any kind of competition. There's only what is and what was.
I'll only be here for Thursday. Monday night I need to sleep REALLY early and REALLY long because from 8AM to 3PM Tuesday I have classes, and then from 6PM-1AM I am helping cover the state elections for the campus radio station. Hey free pizza and all I have to do is stay up until 1AM. Beat that! And of course Wednesday my usual 6-9 Copywriting class ;/
Good luck, and goodnight. Er... Morning. Wait when are you reading this? WHY are you reading this? ...*plays Star Fox 64* I'm cooler than you for playing this game!
