WPC SEASON 7: Let the Countdown Begin

WPC Season 7 is now just 6 days from Kickoff with the EXPO being the traditional opener for the season. Last season was mostly successful there was a few things that happened in some people got done for cheating, the playoffs were very, very close. Pool Fiction bought the curtain down on a glorious WPC career by playing another retiring team MP in the Grand Finals. MP had a great playoff run, defeating SPS and X8B 4-0. Pool Fiction had a bit tougher in the conference finals beat a SS team who were inspired 4-3. PFN beat MP over the best of 3 match 2-0 on matches, 4-2 and 4-3 respectively to make MP the most successful team in WPC with PFN very close behind.

This season however is a hanging of the guard as we welcome some new teams and a former WPC champ team in LPL back. In 6 season's PFN got to every World Cup finals except one, but LPL were a team who beat them back in season 2. They are captained by Steve with Missy his Co Capt and this team has all the regulars of LPL still in. Tino, Chex, Duro and Uriel to name four. Add Steve, Missy and Cam into the equation and this LPL team has a great chance of reaching the top 4 for the playoffs. If Steve can carry through being Captain for the whole season and show with 6 each week then they have a mega chance at the title and the World Cup Trophy.

8 Ball Crushers are back and Bryan is the Captain, Nigel is the IL Co ordinator for them and these could potentially be a very dangerous team. I don't know who they have but I knwo Bryan is a very good player, Sean can be good on his day and who knows if Nigel plays or even we might see bev. I cant say much more on these as I don't knwo that much so more will become clear when I see them in week one.

Freedom, under Petey are getting better and better. He has some very able players in Corey, Himself and Ash if he plays. Freedom used to be the whipping boys of WPC because they performed well in weekend IL's but not anywhere else. Thsi will change this season I beleive and I think they might challenge for the 4th and final playoff spot but then again if they get off to a rocket start they might be up there challenging the big boys for number one only time will tell. Petey needs his A team most weeks and needs to be able to turn up with 6 every week.

Dead Strokes performed brilliantly last season to take a playoff spot and finish in the top 5! Chele can make playoffs again this season but players like Ashton if he can play, James, Roy and Chunk need to really step up to the plate because there is no easy game in WPC this season its so tight. If DS can have a good season start then they will beleive and the results will get so much stronger. Roy is Australian he doesnt like to lose so this will be a big defining season for the guys and gals from DS

ICA are a interesting one, theres a few problems going on at the moment I beleive but they still can put runs together in interlegaues. Take WSOP for example they went 10-2 this season and should win it if they play to there potential. They have a chance to really dominate WPC this season but in WPC anything happens. Trey and Nish are running the show for ICA in WPC this season so this will be a good indication to see who plays for them this season but i expect a playoff spot for ICA they have quality of Nish, Shan, Trey and Nick.

MIB are facing a big struggle this season but they have the ability to beat the big teams and if my mate stevie is gonna captain them then they have got every chance this season. MIB will either show up and dominate, show up and be crap or not show with the right amount of players and lose matches they think they should have won. When on form they can beat anyone. They beat BNR in WSOP to clinch a unlikely playoff spot. Watch out for Kris, Rich and Emmitt to have good solid seasons.

Now for the team they narrowly knocked out of the WSOP and my team SPS. SPS are a interesting team because they are improving dramatically but this group of team should just keep them out of a playoff place. I would put them on par with Freedom at the moment and players like Heather, Kat, Monte along with a few newbies, like nooboligy and im.alix are the upcoming players to watch for this season. If Monte picks his teams right and plays the right players they will have a great season.

SS are my favourites they have loads of top quality players, liek tonz, pas and pita to name three. Jon is also a great player. If Shelle can get enough eligable this season they will finish top i have no doubt about it. It will be disastrous if SS are not in the playoffs come the end of 14 weeks. But shelle you need to get your players playoff eligable.

My table

1 SS
2 ICA
3 FR
4 LPL
5 DS
6 SPS
7 8BC
8 MIB
