Welcome to WPC Season 6, hopefully this is the best season yet and you all enjoy it. I'll start my first blog off with my view of the playoffs and where I think each team will land. Note: I don't care if you don't like what I have to say, just my opinions, and yeah I don't know all the other teams as well as say, Jason or Mr. Know It All but I'll try my best to do what I can :D.

1st Place: Pool Fiction
Cubby is a great captain and I think week in and week out he will get further from all the other teams points wise and blow the remaining 9 teams out of the water. With players like himself, Miz? not sure if Cubby is planning on bringing him as he isn't signed up in wpc yet(at least not for pfn!) but he's definately a great asset to the pfn team!, Kerry, Jeremy and Stu. That's just to name 5. PFN will take 1st place by miles.

2nd Place: Xtreme 8 Ball
I'm taking a huge risk here with this. Can James bring 6 solid players each week to finish the regular season in 2nd place? I think he can! X8B is one of the few and far between leagues that is actively going strong today. If James can bring players like himself, Ben, bang.fail, Boo, and Seanmannn then I think he will just barely sneak into 2nd place, taking it away from possibly a much better squad! vgl X8B!

3rd Place: Money In The Bank
With Pommy as captain and the players he has already signed up in WPC I think this is going to be the team X8B steal 2nd place from. Although Pommy has a nicely stacked team with the likes of Stephen(the only MIB player registered in the EXPO Kick Off and made it to finals!) Indiana Elite, overachieving, Conor B, ta.lent, and the Pomster himself I think they will get unlucky and just barely miss finishing 2nd place. Prove me wrong Pommy!!

4th Place: Straight Shots
Straightshots with no surprise are already leading the EXPO standings by a good 10+ points, but the real question is how well can they do in the regular season? Shelle is no doubt a really great captain but I don't think she has what it takes to beat these unbelievable teams in the regular season in WPC 6!! There are only a few that Shelle has signed up that stand out to me as good, or even decent players like Jon(leafed_leafs) and cue.ballz, Nick, pascal, and Chrisx2. Can Shelle bring her strongest 6 players week in and week out to take up on this 4th place finish? Possibly. Best of luck to you SS.

5th Place: Sexy Poolerz
They may have won the regular season in WPC Season 5 but I don't think Pete has what it takes to keep hold of the WPC title in Season 6. This is a team that I think will either completely prove me wrong and make their way back up to the top of the ladder or possibly find themselves completely missing playoffs by a long shot! I give them the benefit of the doubt and say they will finish 5th, but I doubt that will even be the case.

6th Place: Simply Pool Souls
Most of you may say I am being only placing SPS 6th because I play for them but I really have faith that SPS will just barely make their way into the playoffs. We have a stacked team ready to go and Monte is fired up and waiting as patiently as he can for WPC Season 6 to start! A lot of our SPS players are old PFN members and I remember Jason doing well with PFN in interleagues before they all parted their own ways, and now some of them old PFN members that you seen in past seasons are back in SPS! With the likes of Jason, Mike, Kat, TJ, Derek and possibly myself(to pull off a few wins) SPS have what it takes to squeeze their way into the playoffs, or just miss it. However, never have doubts! SPS will really make a name for themselves here in this 6th season of WPC. So, watch out WPC!

7th Place: Freedom
Freedom is that team that I think will either give SPS that playoff spot, or take it away. With very few members signed up(compared to the other teams) I think Petey and his FR team will just miss the playoffs. Can Petey bring his best 6 each week and pull off win by win? Doubtful.

8th Place: Magic Pool
Not much I can really say about Magic Pool, they got lucky last season and literally squeezed their way into the playoffs by merely 1 win, can they do it this season? No chance. They will take some bad beats and will fall 2 places short of the playoffs and possibly even have a few blow outs and completely shock us. Their team just isn't strong enough to make it past Freedom and Simply Pool Souls for that 6th spot for the playoffs. Unlucky MP!

9th: Dead Strokes
This is interesting. Dead Strokes are back!?! I don't think Chele has what it takes to climb her way up the standings and make it well known that dead strokes are back although it will be close, they will have a few unlucky losses and a few very lucky wins. No one already signed up in WPC for DS stand out to me, very well known players but I don't think these players have what it takes. They will do better in the EXPO then they will in the regular season. Only time will tell, welcome back to WPC deadstrokes!

10th Place: Extreme Pool Competitors
With only 6 players signed up for WPC at the moment, this is the one league that should do well, but most likely won't. They will surely live up to their name, but it won't be good enough. Will their cam tapes be good? Probably. Will they be able to bring 6 players each week? Probably not. Can't really think of what else to say about EPC. VGL this season.


--Now Onto Week 1 Predictions Very Good Luck All!--

Money In The Bank vs. Freedom
Monday, February 22nd

This match will be very close! Petey and his Freedom squad will be looking to start the season out 1-0 but facing a very defensive and tough Money In The Bank team with Pomster as captain and MIB being the home team, I just don't know if Freedom can do it. Do they really have what it takes? Can who I think will finish the regular season in 7th place defeat who I think will finish 3rd? We will find out tomorrow.

Toughie: 4-2 MIB

Key Man:
MIB - Stephen, Indiana Elite, Conor B
FR - Petey, Ash, s.trategic, dope.skill

Simply Pool Souls vs Dead Strokes
Tuesday, February 23rd

Simply Pool Souls are the home team and have that advantage. They are fired up and ready to go. Chele can bring her strongest 6 players, and I think they will just barely fall short of stealing this match away and taking it back home with them.


5-1 SPS

Key Man:
SPS - Jason, Mike, Kat
DS - Chele, Roy, Chuck

Xtreme 8 Ball vs Magic Pool
Wednesday, February 24th

Here we have the mighty X8B taking on our reigning WPC Champs MP. X8B have the home advantage here and will do their best to really use it to their advantage. Can James bring his strongest 6 players here and defeat our WPC champs? I think so. Although it will be close, X8B will pull off a win.

4-2 X8B

Key Man:
X8B - James, Boo, bang.fail
MP - Anil, Croz, Jordy

Straightshots vs Extreme Pool Competitors
Wednesday, February 24th

Straightshots have taken this game home already! EPC will give SS a run for their money and try their best to give SS there 0-1 starting record but I don't think Jack has the stacked team to bring up against SS who have an even bigger team!

4-2 SS

Key Man:
SS - Jon, eddie.wins, Pascal, Nick
EPC - Timm, Big Skittles, Jack

**

Pool Fiction vs. Sexy Poolerz
Thursday, February 25th

This is going to be one of those very close games. Neck and neck all the way to the finish I think. SP will be up for anything and ready to try to bring PFN down, but with Cubby and his amazing team I think SP will just fall short and miss out on bringing this one home. No doubt about it this is PFN's game!

4-2 PFN

Key Man:
PFN - Jeremy, Miz, Stu
SP - Hornyscots, Ketan, Pete

**

There you go. Enjoy and be good!
