Diamond / Emerald Division Pre-Season Predictions

Diamond Division

#1 position - BNR

My decision to predicting bnr as the best lg in the division will shock some people im sure, also knowing that Mr.predictor put them 6th position. But I'll warn every league in this division from now(do NOT underestimate bnr)! I know that this league has a lot of potential, they have some good players and wont be expecting too many losses during the season..I also can see this league battling to make it to the division playoffs. I heard Bryan (patsfan) will captain the team, I know he will bring 5 players to the table each week, will know when to play each player, and will pull off easy wins.

#2 position - PFN

Pool Fiction, hmmmmm.. I can say this league is good, they have good players, good captains in every interlg, they been around for a few years. Even though I don't very well get along with Cubby, that won't stop me to admitting the greatness of this league. Few days ago, the head admin of the league changed which caused some members to withdraw and pfn lost a bit of their activity. I keep observing pfn since that day and I see the new h/a Roger is doing a preety good job, putting the effort into getting pfn back together, getting the trnys rolling once again & most importantly doing his best to prevent this league from falling into pieces like several other leagues are lately...I think PFN won't struggle much and will make it to the playoffs easily.

#3 position - LPL

After a good season 9 in UIC, some may wonder why i didn't predict lpl as #1 or #2. To explain briefly why i put them #3, well it's mainly because lpl been having a lot of no shows in a few interlgs lately and that don't look good for them. The league was made just tocompete in interlgs and own other lgs, they dont really run trnys except to get ppl eligible. Now let's put those thoughts away and get back to business. LPL won't be able to show up with a full team each week, maybe even not show up at all some weeks. In the end, they shall make it to be playoffs with the help of Javier, Tino, and the rest.

#4 position - SP

Well I have been in Sexypoolers league a few months back, but I withdraw cause I NEVER got along with Pete(the guy in charge of interlgsd for SP)..well I still dont like the guy but when I try forgetting about him, I see a good lg. I have played a few interlgs for sp for a short while, they are an '''okay'' league, not great though. They have decent players like Pascal, Snooky and Ketan. I say they will do well this season with their help. They and True champs will fight(do their best) for a playoff spot.

#5 position - TC

They are an okay league like SP, they are active, run trnys daily, etc. Putting all that behind, they aren't bad in interlg's. They win vs some, lose vs others, bring their best game each week. I've seen TC play and they are fine. Not too many commun faces in their league but they are an okay league. I'll repeat once again, TC and SP will both want a spot in the playoffs so they will bring their A-games each week.

#6 position - DS

These folks are soo active, one of the bests out there in lg activity on a daily basis. As we know, Roy is their h/a also h/a of UIC so that preety much explains why DS is that good. In interlg's they sometimes struggle but still try the best they can. Only way they make it to the playoffs is if they show up each week with a good 5 people team and play like they have never played before.

#7 position - PK

As much as I wanted to place this league in a better position, I just could'nt. After having a long talk with adambuddy(previous captain of PK, I realised that this league is really falling off the chimney. Looking at the members they have, you can tell they are a good league, but are they really? Are all those good players even dedicated to their league? I doubt it. Omar was captain in UIC for pk last season, he still didnt do a good job, he barely ever came online. It was with the help of Adambuddy that the league was working out. Now with Adam Gone, who will captain their interlgs? who will run trnys? who will get a team for them? who will get the players eligible if they get any? I'm sorry Omar pal, but I don't think you guys will have a good season, might be a very long and difficult one. I advise you to either start caring more about you league by actually running some tourneys and finding layers or just withdraw PK from interlgs. Up to you in the end.

#8 position - FR

I would have to say the same things to FR too, you guys really need some staff in the league, some active staff.. Come on Pete m8, ur a good admin, find yourself good staff, good players, dont give up. With Ashley gone, it's up to you bud, try your best is all I can tell you. They have to step up, its about time they do. If they wanna keep playing in interleague's, they HAVE TO step-up and im serious about it.




EMERALD DIVISION

Before I even start prdicting ED, I would have apoligize for taking long with these preds, main reason I won't be doing them as good as DD, but i'll make it up to ya'll next week like Mr.Predictor says.[First week will just be a quick prediction based on what I think, next week will be much more in depth].

Now...back to business!

#1 position - X8B

Why do I predict X8B as #1? Well mainly because they have the potential to be the best and earn everyone's respect. There are so many good things I could say about this league. They've been out there in several interlgs for a long time now. THey are big, active and strong. Simply by looking at their win-loss records in MLP and other interlgs, you could say that they are a good team. With players like Ben, Stephen, James, Eric, Conor, and now Adam on their side, they won't have any problem making it to the division finals.

#2 position - 8BC

I like that saying that Mr.predictor uses to discribe this team[dark horses]. After having spoken to Andrew, I heard that he used to play in another old league called PoolMasters that is now dead. He quit pool for 2 yrs after that, and he's back now and looking forward to making 8bc one of the best. I totaly have to agree with what Mr.predictor says[a lot of people underestimate 8bc at the moment], but wait till they get bigger and better folks. They are a good team to watch and also play, I know what i'm saying as I play IPA for them. Just like X8B, i believe that this league has the potential to out there and face the stronger leagues, even beat them. They will make it to the playoffs, no doubt about it in my mind, and if they put enough effort weekly, they should even go and challenge X8B in in divion finals.

#3 position - MP

After having good seasons in UIC, they will look forward t having another one this time, but can they? Without Jordan, can MP win matches and steal the show? We'll have to find out sooner or later. Couple weeks aho in MPI, my league EPC had to play our first interlg match ever, if it werent for Jordy carrying them to a win 5-4, Epc would have won 5-2. I do believe they will show up each week with a full team but will they have good players on the team? Let's see how they will do with the help of Mike & Ian.

#4 position - EPC

Well as everyone knows I am h/a of this lg and also captain in UIC. This is where I can predict anything I want about my league & no...i dont mean brag about anything. As people may know, I used to h/a in 2 other lgs that werent a very good success, but yet I never gave up and made a new lg, and I will try my best to make this lg work out. Some people may think im a bad captain, some may think im okay, well we will find out during the season how my lg will do this time. I have players like Missy, Crozzzy & i hear Craig wants to play for me now so I think we will do just fine and hopefully make it to the playoffs.

#5 position - RM

It took me quite some time to get their url, I ended up googling their lg name and came up with the website. They are not a cases league is why. I don't really know anything about them, idk anyone in this league i think. I talked to Jeff(h/a of 8br) and dan(h/a of epl). They told me RM are a fine league with some good players. They have players like blinkiox, spc_elite(brian), elusive(mathew). That's about all I can say about RM.

#6 position - EC

I surely could say that this league was much better a few weeks ago. I still remember Marco used to come to me all the time saying EC is the best, EC will own, EC this..EC that, and they were trully good. Then there was Cameron that ended up leaving them cuz he got bored of EC. A bit part of EC members w/d to join the new league made by Indy(formar co/ha of ec) cause they didnt like how Mitch was treating the staff n all. Ever since, EC has been suffering from an extreme downfall. I advise Mitch to make Snooky technician aka Paul play for his team cuz they need a good player like him. I am sorry but I don't think they will make it to the playoffs, well at least not this season.

#7 position - CM

Just like Rankmonters, idk much about CM, besides the fact that Lisa admins there. I known lisa for a while, she can handle running a lg and playing for a team. She was an admin in Pro interlg. Some said they arent very good but i cant pre-judge them without knowing them. BOL this season and show me how good you can be. This is the shortest prediction yet.

#8 position - UO

UO was made due to some conflict involving PDZ and Charles I guess? I can see PDZ is slowly fading and everyone just withdrawing and joining UO. New doors keep opening for this new league. But knowing that the same players from PDZ play in UO, now, and knowing that PDZ didnt have a lot of good players, I can't tell how UO will do, probably a bit better? Anyways, welcome to UIC UO, have a nice season and good luck!

#9 position - EPL

Elite Pool Legendz, where legends are born...hmmm, preety interesting slogan they got, eh? This league was first made by Nick months ago then to be deleted due to inactivity and ppl leaving., yet to be remade few months later. There was some issue between Nick and Dan, whch resulted to Nick deleting EPL. But Dan wouldn't let it die tha way, he brought the league back again, and he seems preety confident now that EPL will do well this time. The OLD EPL was strong and intense...I sure hope that the NEW EPL ressembles to it and be a succesful league. Dan is a good guy, good player, maybe not liked by everyone but he could care less. He will have some difficultys at first to bring 5 ppl to table each week but that might improve overtime. 9th pot Dan, prove me wrong.

#10 position - K8P

=O What is this? a collision of 2 leagues? 1 active with okay players and 1 dead with good players? Are they good leagues? Are they gonna work well together by helping each other? I ask myself all those questions. I think they will do okay but not win matches often. While I was playing IPA for 8BC earlier today, I was testing KP at the same time. They didn't do as good as they had planned and got butts whooped by 8bc 5-1, with 1 or 2 missing players. Just like I told Dan, Prove me wrong.


If you happen to read all my predictions, tyvm and good luck in Season 10!!
