Tonight... Absolutely no contest. A bad break here and there, but only one game was truly changed because of it, and a win there would only have delayed the inevitable crushing. This was a poolfiction team firing on all cylinders, and the CZ team we saw in the regular season last night.

CZ_bang.king - PFN_derekgnr - Derek appeared to want an early run, but thought better of it after a couple shots. After a safety, he would try again. Tried to get english to take off the top rail to get a shot on the 9... No go. Jim gets a chance. That is UNTIL derek comes off the top rail and sneaks the 9 through the 5 and 6 balls and nails it bottom middle. 14 goes bottom right, 8 follows, 1-0 PFN in match 1. Derek does it in game 1 as he has done the past 2 seasons for PFN. They've NEVER had a problem with early-game players.

CZ_OoOo_BoOo_oOoO - PFN_shad0w_0f_decepti0n - Boo ens up with 4 solids down first, which played more to Jamie's advantage. If he could have unblocked his 6 he'd have had an easy run, but it WAS blocked, so no run. Boo would try to make the 6ball-rail-2ball combo top-left... Not enough power, and Jamie has 7 stripes on a wide open table. I'd build a little suspense but we all know Jamie's back. It's 2-0 'Fiction.

CZ_scottish.king - PFN_dr_blastt - Ste played a couple nice safeties, played well out of blastt's, and the doctor had NO chance... Until Ste got stuck with absolutely no shot on the 8 via a spin glitch. He would try to go off the right rail, through the 2 and the 6, and off the bottom to hit the 8 up to the top middle... Yeah no. blastt gets another chance. He would run his last 5 solids, and the 8, effortlessly. CZ is now down 3-0 in PRO and in MLP at the same time. Boo did win game 4 in PRO though.

CZ_emotional.death - PFN_xlx_cjp_xlx - Another safety battle... As the pattern of this match has dictated so far... CJP would get the upper hand. Unfortunately with his last ball he couldn't get position on the 8. So here's the attempt... Bottom rail, top rail, bottom middle pocket... MONEY! Poolfiction sweeps Cheap Shotz 4-0 in match 1 of the Season 9 World Series!

It couldn't have ended on a stronger note for Poolfiction. The double on the 8, THAT was probably the straw that broke CZ's back for this entire series. I predicted 3 matches, but after tonight, I don't even think the 2nd will be close. Everyone plays in their spot, you've got a starter in derek, a closer in CJP, Jamie has returned to form at just the right moment and he's just a wildcard you can play anywhere, Josh came out of nowhere, there is WAY too much for CZ to contend with. They're overmatched and it isn't even close. 5 or 6-game win for PFN tonight, they'll come out gunning with their backs up against it, and will probably win game 3 where PFN can throw anyone and hope for a win to bridge the gap to CJP. I expect kerry will just go with the same lineup, except maybe throwing in jammy if it's 2-1 after 3. A lead already up a match makes your lineup so much more flexible.
