Conference Finals

So Round 1 of the playoffs completed and all went to plan with the exception of one game! Welcome to Sports Scene! So both matches in the Eastern Division were on Tuesday lets see how they went.

Pool Fiction Vs Latino Pool Legends

The rematch of last seasons finals where LPL won. However this was a different story with the PFN captain Oggie determained to lead PFN to a WPC World Cup so they have something to defend next season. PFN not doing too well in the likes of MLP and PLC. UIC they lost out to LPL so this was big. Pool Fiction won it 4-1 with the only loss coming from Kerry in game 1. Pool Fiction were fantastic here but also LPL just wasnt there hard hitting, competetive selves. True Champs very nearly got in but LPL just pipped them and really did not perform on monday night allowing PFN to stroll to victory. Roger, Lewis, Cubby and Andy picked up the wins for PFN. Poolz defeated Kerry. Player Dude, David, Punisher and Tino lost for LPL. GL next season guys

Sexy Poolerz Vs Xtreme8Ball

So to the SP vs X8B match that Dan WAS meant to show up for, for X8B and we all know the Cubby MLP rant by now dont we? This was a interesting match up where The Magician Kicked off for X8B against Im2Smart. So the two captains kicked the proceedings off and X8B took the advantage. So X8B 1-0 up and Pete has to think whos gonna level it up? Ste is as good as anyone and was put up against James the All starer for X8B, by the way Dan was livid that James got Allstar and he didnt. James won and X8B looked very well placed here. Sirbangsalot though ruduced the deposit and beat u got no skillz. Adam then Stepped up and played very well in giving X8B two chances to clinch by beating Snooky. Then the fun started. SP called Pascal and then Ben the X8B captain called Dan who was missing. Wasnt at the table and after 7 minutes he had timed out. Now X8B is a massive league, has lots of tournies, yet X8B did not have a 6th player. So again SP won a time out match. 3-3 and a decider. James played Pascal, It was a good match but Pascal saw SP through to play PFN in the Conference finals.

HT vs DS

This was the shock of the season. High Timez came intot his match fully undefeated, Ok they have had a lot of draws and stuff but they had not lost a match and would have just thought they would have too much for Dead Strokes. NOT SO! Every player that was called for DS over performed except Rick who lost his match (I had to get that in :P) Ash played his match, It wasnt the first match, It was the second match and made THE biggest shot in the whole match on the 8. He had fucked himself but made a incredable bank to win the game and ultimately it turned DS intot he only possable winners. Judge(Roy) performed magnificently and DS ran away with a 4-1 Victory.

LS vs SS

Well lets start by saying both teams Sucked! They did. LS and SS both had a timeout a peice. I messed up my game to lose. Simon lost his match. LS was saved by a timeout in the last game when SS was winning 3-2 and SS timed out. Now earlier int he match Tonzmaniac(Chris) was in sparkling form and beat Its.Dustin in the Decider to make it a LS vs DS conference finals. 4-3 LS was the Score

So lets look at the Conference Finals

Eastern Finals

Room: Bad Times

Ref:

Previous Match for PFN: PFN 4 LPL 1 Semi finals of Eastern Playoff
Previous Match for SP: SP 4 X8B 3 Semi finals of Eastern Playoff

Playoff Form Players:

PFN: Cubby and Pool_Warrior
SP: Sirbangsalot and P.ascal

The conference finals are here and winning this gets you into the WPC World Cup bo3 series. Pool Fiction no strangers to WPC conference finals after getting to the WPC World Cup Series in both the previous WPC Seasons will be looking to win this match against a strong Sexy Poolerz team. If PFN win it they will have got to every World Cup but are yet to win the WPC Title. Pool Fiction will need to bring Andy, Cubby and Jamie here as SP are better than the LPL team they thrashed. SP without captain Pete are under the stewardship of Ste on Monday. The way PFN are performing here in WPC compared to everywhere else is puzzling, they are world class at online pool, Sexy Poolerz will need to bring 6 players that are eligable. If they do then this will be entertaining. Who will win? Pool Fiction have a strong teama nd a hungry Captain. Sexy Poolerz if they bring 6 can at times flatter to decieve but at other times can thrash teams. This will be close.

Odds

PFN - 3-1F
SP - 4-1

Prediction:

Well I have gone back and forth about this and i have come to the decision that PFN have the better team and without Pete there for SP it will be interesting to see how Ste handles captain. 4-2 PFN

Western Division

Lucky Shots VS Dead Strokes

Date and Time: Wednesday 1st April @ 6-30

Room: Sweet Dreams

Ref: Lisa

Previous Match for LS: LS 4 SS 3 Semi Finals of Western Division
Previous Match for DS: DS 4 HT 1 Semi Finals of Western Division

Playoff form Players:

LS: Tonzmaniac
DS: Judge.0000 and Exquisite.ashie

So can DS do what they did in UIC in WPC? As Number 4 seed can they progress to the WPC World Cup final series. Dead Strokes totally blasted through High Timez last week and to be honest they looked very very impressive. Roy, Ash and Drunken.bastard must perform this week and Rick must find some form to compete with LS, because when LS bring players like Tam, Chris, Simon and Justin they look dangerous. Lucky Shots were very lucky against SS there name living up to the slogan on the LS site Areyou Feeling Lucky? Yes they were and the luck came to them. If this is a close long drawn out match then I will plump for DS to win here. If Players like Tam and Chris play to form then LS will win this. Either way we have two very competetive teams and the winners of this will be who can hold there nerve.

Odds:

LS - 2-1F
DS - 3-1

Prediction:

This is going to be close, Dead Strokes will need to draw on Roys experiance and Ricks good captaincy skills to show LS how its done. Lucky Shots will need to perform better than they did against SS, which I think they will and will take this but dont be surprised if the tiebreaker is Ash or chuck vs Tam or Chris. 4-3 LS

Theres the penultimate post for this season cya for the WPC World Cup bo3 Series
