FIIIIIIIIIIVE MLP WEEEEEEEEKS

4 weeks gone by
3 winless teams
2 teams with 20 wins
and one lonely undefeated team.

Howdy howdy it's Christmas in March, make that April by the end of this weekend... That means Wrestlemania is around the corner, the Final Four is finishing up... And most importantly... UMAINE IN THE FROZEN FOUR! lol mlp

Alright, let's get right to the Weekly Top Five. Where does #1 go after getting upset by BNR 4-3 in our week's nightcap?

#1: Pool Legends

#2: Malditos - 7-0 sweep of Lucky Shots. Yeah, it's only LS, but a sweep is a sweep, and they are really playing well overall in these first 4 weeks.

#3: Pool Pimps - Forfeit win, neutral movement.

#4: 8Ball Runners - Shouldn't have even been in a game 7 with BNR anyways, but they were, and while vampyre got booted halfway through the match because her Kotex was jammed too far up between her legs, BNR pulled off a massive upset, beating the best league in MLP. Does that mean BNR should be ahead of them, though? No, use a little common sense. 8BR still dominates the Tour, but they didn't win THAT this past week either. Ruh-roh!

#5: PoolFiction - "But BritPool beat them!" So? BP's #6 believe me. PFN an impressive 6-1 W over Pool Masters, again it's only PM, not like they beat a good league, but it's still a very good one. Look at 8BR, they didn't beat a good league, nor did they get beat by one. So it's not guaranteed :s BP also suffers from losing sal_bianca because he is an admitted aimer, and is either going to be banned or forced to play every second of MLP for the rest of his life on cam. *shrug*

MATCH OF THE WEEK

Boy last week's between BritPool and Pool Pals really delivered. It also produced our Player of the Week. This time around... Poolfiction @ Pool Pals. Two great leagues here, Pals still kinda under the radar, I'm sure most people know by now what kind of punch they're packing, but they're not really discussed a lot. This is a Playoff lock, just about, albeit probably a Wildcard Play-in Game participant. I won't even bother picking this one, because I very rarely pick PFN matches well, so I'll just shut up :-s

UPSET SPECIAL

Cheap Shotz will beat Pool Legends. PL is a 3-1 team by all rights, that's how I'm going to refer to them as long as I feel like, until they can prove to me they can beat a good league handily again. Cheap Shotz have played pretty well as of late, they WILL suffer because of losing Jeff (not my fault he was stupid enough to accuse), but they did squeak by UNY and I think they'll be even more prepared this week. It'll be a close one, but no tape DQ here - CZ wins in a 4-3 thriller.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK

Week 1: 8BR_xlx_under_dog_xlx
Week 2: PZ_ll_goodwooter_ll
Week 3: 8BR_o00_mwxzk_00o
Week 4: BP_heavymetalisbest - He did it AGAIN! ANOTHER 3-3 Game 7 win for heavymetal, this time against Pool Pals in last week's Match of the Week. You can't say enough about this guy. He is possibly the most reliable game 7 player in MLP at this point. Every time, he has answered the call. Player of the Week, early repeat MVP candidate and it isn't even close.

PS: Cam was introduced to make sure games were played clean, and without cheating. How a 30-minute deadline when there's already a timer to START sending a tape helps... I have no clue. How ANYONE, Admins included, can stand behind this and back the screwing of PZ, is beyond me. Something is changing this weekend. Guaranteed.
