The WPC WORLD CUP BO3 SERIES Finals

Welcome to the WPC World Cup Finals bo3 Series.

After weeks of tough competition it all comes down to this. Teams like High Timez and Xtreme 8 Ball were awful in the playoffs, well not as much Xtreme 8 Ball but they could have performed better than they did. Straight Shots lost out to LuckyShots who then beat a very good resilliant Dead Strokes team in the conference Finals. Pool Fiction finished the season like they started. They had a dip in form but rode it out and the new Captain Ogges looks to do what Me or Kev couldnt, take them all the way. Pool Fiction Demolished last seasons champs Latino Pool Legends and then beat Sexy Poolerz in the Conference finals.

I will now go into the main players from each team and what to expect.

Lets start with Pool Fiction:

Captain: Ogges

George has led his team well since kev didnt really do much this season. He has bought a strong bunch of players to the table and chipped in with some wins himself. He is a very good al-round player who will always give his all and has Pool fiction's interests at heart. He will need to bring his best 6 to the table this week though. Will he perform well in these matches this week?

Score out of 10: 7

Roger

Roger has been called on in the important situations for Ogges and PFN this season. He has some very big wins this season and will no doubt be needed this week in the big games for ogges again. It depends on who LS plays against Roger to how well he will do, but he will do well I am sure. One of PFN's big players going by this season and when Ogges has called upon him.

Score: 8

Cubby:

Well what can you say? Cubby is most definatly unique! He again has performed well this season with stats of 3-2, he will be there for each of the playoff matches I am sure. If Cubby comes on form he will beat anyone on the Lucky Shots team. If he comes on a off day well even I can beat him! But if PFN want to win this on the third time of asking then they must hope Cubby wins.

Score: 8

Kerry:

Well last season Kerry was one of the better players and actually had a chance of MVP before being pipped to the post by Rick from BNR. This season though hasnt been a stellar season for Kerry she has a record of 2-5. But on her day she is good and can beat most people. This season though I think even Kerry will admit that shes not been on her best.

Score: 6

Lewissss

Lewis has been brilliant this season. Even when at times he looked like he was going to lose he attained a record of 5-1 and is most definatly one of Ogges big hitters for this seasons finale and next season. If it all falls into place then Lewis will no doubt go for a clinch or be there as back up.....Not bad back up to have if you ask me.

Score: 9

zl_stu_lz

I finish the 6 with Stu, yes i could have put andy and jamie in but they did not show right till the end and Stu has a record of 5-0 and well you cant argue with that. He is so important to PFN when he plays. Give him the break and my god he will most probably break run you and you wont know whats hit you, A very important player for PFN.

Score 9.5

Total: 47.5/60

So that is the Pool Fiction 6 that I feel have contributed the most this season. Yes players like Derek and Jamie and Andy have contributed but this is a strong Pool Fiction Squad and one that deserves this WPC World Cup bo3 Series.

Lucky Shots

Captain: Jason

I have not had the best season. Finishing 4-4 at 50%. This has been a interesting season for me, running this interleague and helping bev do this captain job but in getting LS to this finals is a big achievement even though I know this season has not been my best.

Score: 5

Ihatejustin:

A very good player on his day with the only blotch being he can say things out of turn which he knows and try to stop doing it. His game play can be awesome bordering Garbage. The latter not very often at all. If perry turns up and plays well then he can steal a win. If he shows that he is out of form then PFN will pick up a easy win.nly time will tell.

Score: 7

Tonzmaniac:

Chris is Mr. LuckyShots and he is pretty good too! numerous times he has got me out of a rut and with stats of 6-2 you can tell he is in good form. If he shows in that good form then he will pick a win up for LS. I mean afterall he is probably the best this season apart from tam(more on him later). He will be the one telling the players to calm down and take there time.

Score: 9

Simon.Kitto

So we have Simon who can either flatter or flatter to deceive. If he comes wanting to play which I think he will, I mean come on its the Grand Finals then he should very well picka win up but PFN are stronger. If simon is at the top of his game then he should eak out a win to help his LuckyShots team mates.

Score: 8

Tam_s0:

Tam is Lucky Shots star player. He can run, he can snook or as we found out in the playoff match against Ash he can dissapoint his opponent by not touching tap breaks. So what will Lucky Shots expect of Tam this week in the finals? Wins! plan and simple, Tam must win his matches whereever he plays them, weather its 1st, 2nd, or 6th if he does then LS will stand a chance but he is there best player and so important for Luckyshots

Score: 9

Im_just_jeremy:

Again I could ahve put Bev in here or Raymie or Heather but the fact remains that Jeremy is the man that Lucky Shots picked last time out int he conference finals and he did a good job. If he plays you know he will give 120% of effort and will no doubt run whoever he plays close, he is a great player when on form so we will see.

Score: 8

Total: 46/60

So Luckyshots have got a chance in this but Pool Fiction will need to have a couple of off days and I feel that PFN are just getting back into it now. They won the conference finals against Sexy Poolerz I thought very comfortably in the end. Luckyshots was ran closer by DS and should havelost. If they go to 3 games which i think they will PFN will win as they have the home advantage.

PFN 4-1
LS 4-3
PFN 4-2

Thats my final post till my closing post for this season, andits been fun ty for all teams who took part.

Jason

The Eastern Final Report

So the Eastern Conference finals are up and away. SP have a strong team at the table but who will be needed, no doubt Pas, Snooky and Ste. Whereas PFN have Andy, Jamie, Cubby and there captain Ogges. Pool Fiction look the stronger but lets find out

pfn_pool_warrior kicked this finals off against sp_sir.bangsalot and Andy owned Sir, who was not given a chance here! Andy finished it off with a big bank! 1-0 pfn. Great bank into the top right

So next up is Roger for PFN, hes had a reletivly good WPC season up against Baddassplaya and again this looks close on paper. And yet again Roger tap breaks this will be a long match. Roger gets stripes and leaves badass with a possable run. Badass pots the pink and the Yellow stripe in the bottom right and top left, leaving a snooker to get out off and he did but roger is left with a bank shot here which is missed. Badass sinks the rest he has the blue and red left and he leaves roger no pot so roger plays safe. Badass goes for the difficult bank misses and roger clears up for a quickfire 2-0 to PFN and SP have there work cut out now.

So match 3 sees the queen of bank Kerry take on the devil in newb.on_loose and this is a very winnable game for PFN's Kerry here. Newbie is going for the smash break but fails to pot but leaves the balls bunched up. Kerry sinks the green solid into the bottom right then misses the easier orange into the top left. Leaves Newb to have a go and he sinks blue stripe into bottom right then screws himself for the next so will safety. He went for the worse bank ever and kerry has a serious chance here but wont do it this visit, she will have to come back and finish it as the balls are far too bunched and newb starts to play dirty now as SP need this win. After a while kerry hands a bang chance to newb who takes it and SP are back in the game! 2-1 but wait its not that as a severe yahoo gives kerry a chance to be ruthless here.... blue pink then black to go, it was a shitty yahoo to get on the 8 but kerry doesnt do finish it and although the right winner won, SP get back into it 2-1 and we have a match!

So big match here in Cubby taking on Snooky and Cubbys break I expect a break run attempt. And its set up pretty well for the try. Pink Solid goes into the bottom right along with the purple stripe. Solids look best here, and he has gone for solids. Orange goes bottom middle and then starts a snook fest here. They are trading very impressive snookers but snooky is first to go for it and it will end in disaster here and he gives cubby ball in hand and it should be game over. Red goes top left freeing the yellow but screwing hiself cubby will have to think of something here. Snooky is left a difficult cut on the green into the bottom right and makes a snooker instead but didnt put enough onto it and cubby misses the difficult cut ont he yellow and snooky runs the rest of the table and we have it back at 2-2 good comeback from Sexy Poolerz.

Match 5 sees the BPK back in playoff action against a very tough Ste. Ste has the break goes for the bang and dont pot anything but neither did jamie. so ste bangs in 2 and has a choice picks solids and now we get the snookfest, so ste now has a run chance, sinks the pink solid to top right, yellow top middle and now he should clear it from here setting pas up with a clinch chance against Lewis i am sure. This was a superb run by Ste but he came short on the penultimate shot which gifts jamie a chance to run it out. But he strats the snookers as he is 5 balls up on Ste now, but run it out he does and its 3-2 to PFN with a clinch chance for Lewis against Pas. Jamie was VERY VERY VERY lucky to win it tho

Lewis breaks against Pas and he has a ran break chance, he pots the pink into top middle and then follows it up with the blue solid into the same pocket, and the run break is well and truly on! Orange went top right and it is now looking like a runbreak clinch for PFN. Just the Yellow, Green and red in that order followed by the easy bl;ack and it is lewis's and PFN's WPC World Cup bo3 Series spot. This has been exhibition stuff tonight PFN take it 4-2 and progress. A very good clean match and some great clearances. Lucky Shots and Dead Strokes have a lot to live up to. Thats at 6 30 on wednesday take care all.
