Week 2

Wow, have I got a lot to say this week. First off I would like to congratulate every league for putting up a good season start with Week 1. There were some matches that didn't go so well though. Example, knowing how good X8B is and how much of a responsable team they are, they DID NOT show up the day that was assigned for them to show up. Epl however, played X8b this wednesday and still could not pull off the win. Someway, somehow Epl got the best of it that night. Another horrible match I could say, was Fr vs Lpl, Ash and his friend got to win their games, but lost the match 2-3 due to missing players. I'm stilling itching to see Freedon get back together, I hear Petey is gonna work on bringing their activity back up, but all we can do right now is hope that that really will happen. Yes, I totally agree with most of the things Mr.Predictor says, as I sat down this morning and read his predictions in full. I will also admit that I like it how he predicts and describes the lgs without trying to hurt anyone's feeling like the rest. Cubby, what is your problem dude, are you retarded or something? How can you go out there and make a voice blog, by calling all emerald lgs crap? And then you say EPC and RM should not have been allowed in UIC? How would you feel Sean, if I said the exact same things you said about us to you and Pfn? You would not like it, would you? So quit being an ass to everyone around you, grow up a little bit, act your age. You say in your voice blog that you won't even mention emerald cause the lgs in there make you sick. Well I think that the only reason your predicting diamond is because your own league is in it. I'm sure if PoolFiction was in emerald, you wouldnt have called the division ''crap'' and you wouldve predicted emerald and not diamond. That's just how you are, but no one can change you. Just telling you all this because I have been hearing shit about you all the time wherever i trurn and whoever I talk to. Just like Mr.predictor said, who the hell are you to talkbad about freedom like that? Just because it's kinda dead? That league has been up there for more than 7 years, show some respect? Jason, you too dude, you recently have joined MP and do some interlgs for them, that's why your bragging and talking crap about the rest. You have been a predictor way longer than me, that's cuz I have just started predicting. So waht if you have predicted in the past, does that make you any better than me or Mr.Predictor? I mean come on, I understand everyone Likes their own league and wants them to win, but why talk shitty about the rest? Me, being head admin and captain of Epc, have not once bragged to anyone, have not once told them how well we are, I keep those between my players and stay silent before the rest, that's how much I respect the other lgs and their teams. Just because all these other people started posting their links trying to piss me off, I won't consider any of them as predictors. For me, the true 2 predictors in Season 10 are myself and Mr.predictor, I'm sorry.

Just some few regards on what ''events'' have been taking place in the uic shoutbox's lately...Some are thinking I don't want to have other predictors on UIC? Some are thinking i'm scared of competition? Some are saying im self centered? To answer to all that, no! I am NOT scared of competition, I like competition, maybe reading my lg's name might help some realise that fact(extreme pool Competitors). Anyways, what I would like to let these people know that I do not care if they predict..i mean what the heck, i cant stop you, right? I do understand that some of these predictors used to predict in UIC in past season. Only reason I was kinda mad was because they came to predict without letting anyone know. As I said before, how would Cubby or Jason like it if I went there unnoticed and posted my preds link each week? At least I would let them know..and not just wilingly go out there and post them.. Sorry if other think differently, but I really find this kinda disrespecting for me and Mr.Predictor.


Ehh, enough with all that crap, makes me sick to even think of all this bs, wasting my time, so back to business now...


DIAMOND DIVISION

MATCH #1 - PFN v TC

Here's an interesting matchup, the Great pool fiction go toe to toe against the True champs. I will mention this again, Pfn got a new h/a, some w/d, some stopped playing, some new people joining, lg activity is getting better now, everythings getting back to normal. But the big question circuling our mind is: How will Pfn do this week when they square off against Tc? Well I can say they will bring their A-Game and refuse to lose 2 weeks in a row and put a -2 in their streak. I would advise Cubby to play for his team this week if they wanna pulloff a win.
Tc last week got their butts kicked by Bnr losing 4 games and winning only 1. This is that kind of league that starts off bad but improves as time goes by. Just like Pfn, Tc will look to redeem themselves by trying their best to pull off a win. It's hard to put up a scare here, but I have to pick a winner, right?

Score: Pfn 3-2


MATCH #2 - DS VS BNR

After all those disagreements I been witnessing, should I even hesitate, should I change my mind from predicting Bnr as top 2 in this division? Well hell no! Bnr impressed me by a great week 1 win vs Tc 4 to 1. Players like Anil, Bryan, and rest will really help Bnr throughout the season. Yes, they weren't this good ihe past, so what? who cares about the past, move on people.
DS caused an upset last week by defeating Pfn 3 to 2. I have to wonder, was that luck? Or was it Pfn that was having a bad week? It doesn't matter, i'm just proud of them because they won, and hope they do well this week also, but they might come up short. But yet, who knows, they could always cause another upset and beat Bnr, I still got to mark Bnr as the winners though.

Score: Bnr 3-2


MATCH #3 - LPL v SP

I can't really give any updates of what might change from last weeks match concerning LPL due to the few no-shows by Fr. Based on what I saw, 2 of their best players lost(jesus and javier). The rest ''won'' their games but would they if Fr showed up with 5 players? Probably yes, because LPL has strong players. After their easy win last week, things start getting a bit more difficult for them, they face off against a better team this week, that is SP. Sexy poolerz went to play their match last week more or less confident assuming that PK will not show up. But Adam w/d X8b last minute and got back with Omar & PK, got himself a strong team quickly and managed to beat Sp. I said it before and I'll say it again, many upsets last saturday, week leagues standing up last minute and somehw pulling off the win vs the better leagues. Sp does not stand a good chance against LPL, that's if LPL can show up full 5 players.

Score: LPL 4-1


MATCH #4 - FR v PK

This match is obv not hard to predict. Fr does not have enough lg activity to get new players or to get people eligible by running some trnys. Petey says he will step up eventually but I sure hope it won't be too late. FR could step up quick if they plan on winning, just like PK did last week. They need Ashley and Petey in their team, sadly thats not enough though, they need more players to stand a chance on getting a win. I wiould still highly doubt that they would win their match vs PK, mainly because PK has better players like Jeff who joined last minute, Adam who returned to his lg, Craig who was looking for a team and got asked by PK to join, and last but not least, Chris who is also another decent player. PK will not struggle a bit and will easily beat FR, I can assure ya'll that.

Score: PK 5-0


EMERALD DIVISION

MATCH #1 - CM v 8BC

I don't know once again what to say about CM, besides the fact that Lisa and Alex play there? I don't see many common id's looking at their lg page. They managed to show up with a team last week and they got the win against ec by timer, due to ec not bothering to even show up. Both of these league's are slowly fading and turning into ashes just like poor Fr. I talked to Lisa from Cm, and she tells me they might even w/d from Wpc soon, so i dont know if they will or not stay in Uic for long. 8bc is for sure going to pull off the win here, not only because they have 5 players each week, but also because they are better. After hearing Andrew will not be in ypool alot anymore after getting a new job, let's just hope he will manage to show up each week and help his Crushers to win their matches. After shutting up UO last week, I realised why Mr.Predictor calls them the [Dark Horses]. They will have a lot of confidence going on to face CM[the weaker link] this saturday.

Score: 8BC 4-1


MATCH #2 - EPL v KBP

Epl, a formar succesful league who has earned a bad reputation, are definatly looking to redeem their fame[with their new h/a Dan] by beating all the lgs they can in UIC 10. With an upset last week beating X8B 3-2 in a game that was played this wednesday, they are now 1 and 0. Dan, proves that he can find new players if he wants to. He got Pool Charlie, Ant and a few more[both formar 8br players], might get a few others as time goes by. They will look to getting their second win this week. KBP, the combination of KP AND BP, turns out to be an interesting duo. They proved me wrong last week by beating MP, that is obviously a better league. Sadly Mp was missing Ian and Mike though. Anyways, Drew is a nice and determined guy that won't back down easily till he proves a point to the audience.

Score: EPL 3-2


MATCH #3 - X8B vs RM

One of my favorite leagues, they have the potential to beat every league in the division, but after that no show vs epl last week, after the loss vs them 2-3, i dont know what to say, they left my speechless. I would never imagine in a thousand years that they would not show up, especially now that they have great players like Eric, James, Stephen & Ben. They surely are frustrated right now that they lost vs the weaker league after all the bragging they were doing. They won't stand losing 2 straight weeks. I wanna give them a new nickname..how's ''Fearless Beasts''?
RM joins UIC the same time as my lg joins it. Many were saying RM will own my lg and that Rm is a good league, that's not what I witnessed last week though. They succeded beating my 2 weak players but werent even close to beating top 3 of Epc. Knowing that Epc beat Rm, and also knowing that X8B is much better thn Epc for now, i dont think Rm will even stand a chance of defeating X8b, the ''Fearless Beasts''.

Score: X8B 4-1


MATCH #4 - MP v EPC

The thing I hate the most is bragging about my accomplishments, so it is kinda difficult to predict on my own league, unlike Jason who thinks MP is the best just because he's in it. I believe EPC will easily beat MP[sorry if I seem mean, but truth hurts Jason..truth hurts].
He predicts Epc to lose 1-4 vs MP, saying that only crozzzy will win for us. Well, he's so wrong. I been finding good players lately and don't you think Jasn that it will be easy beating us. I won't just yet tell you what new players im getting, you will soon find out, and don't u cry and whine if you see us beat MP and i mean..beat MP bad. MP will need Ian and MIKE and other good ones to even stand a slight chance vs EPC. But I guarantee you all that EPC will not lose!

Score: EPC 4-1


MATCH #5 - EC v UO

Herw is another match kida hard to predict. Both leagues lost horribly 5-0 last week, I know more about EC than I know about UO. EC did not show up last week and give their opponents a free win, they are obtaining a bad reputation.. you guys better wake up. Will EC end up withdrawing? I guess its hard for them to keep up with both IPA and UIC on the same day. UO I come to hear, was already a league before merging into PDZ. Now they are back after the issues with PDZ. I kinda like them cause they are active and fast growing, but on the other hand, they play horrible[not wanting to offend you guys]. They could not even win 1 game with 5 players at the table. I think EC is the better team in this case.

Score: EC 3-2 [If they show up]

GOOD LUCK TO ALL IN WEEK 2! TYVM FOR YOUR TIME =)
