Week 5
Week 5 and about a 3rd of the way through the season and everything is starting to take shape. We have the pretenders and contenders, the surprises and disappointments. Here is a quick preview at week 5.
Diamond Division
SS vs DC - I think hell has finally frozen over and SS will pick up their first win. They picked up shocker from PP, who was probably one of their top 2 players and they are home against a decent DC team who is high after the upset last week of LPL.
SS wins 3-2
FR vs PP - If FR shows with a decent team I see no problems with them winning tonight. Having home table advantage and calling the matches they want certainly helps out. with shocker gone someone has to step up and I dont see it happening this week.
FR win 4-1
Match of the Week
EPL vs UP - If I stick with my original statement that UP would breeze through UIC Season 8 I would be stupid as hell. Struggle is more like it for this UP and struggle they will against Ant and company. On paper what looks to be a great match up ends up being a blow out.
EPL wins 4-1 and clinches in game 3.
LPL vs EC - Both teams 2-2 so both teams have life. EC knows what it takes by their record from last season and LPL knows how to play the interlg circut. Should be an intersting match but LPL flexes a bit more muscle.
LPL wins 3-2
Emerald Division
Match of the Week
MP vs PFN - Despite starting with BAB's 0-4 you will see PFN making the playoffs as they climb their way back up the ladder and rung 2 is tonight vs MP. MP will sneak a win or 2 but they won't win the match.
PFN wins 4-1
EP vs DS - EP has some nice players but when it comes to interlg pool they just don't stack up to the rest of the teams in the division. DS has been clicking at 99% so far this season and they will continue.
DS wins 5-0
BP vs TC - 2 Weeks in BP looked to be the top team here in ED but a 2 game losing streak makes everyone begin to question. TC has some talent and could pull off the upset here but it will not happen tonight.
BP wins 3-2
DP vs BnR - BnR has beaten some tough teams to get where they are this season and well desirved. DP has lost close matches and then no showed. DP wont show up with a full team tonight I would bet and BnR matains first place.
BnR wins 4-1
Diamond Division
SS vs DC - I think hell has finally frozen over and SS will pick up their first win. They picked up shocker from PP, who was probably one of their top 2 players and they are home against a decent DC team who is high after the upset last week of LPL.

Week 4
After 3 weeks in the books we are starting to see who the contenders and who the pretenders are. A big welcome to Kerry and PFN.
Diamond Match of the Week
EPL (3-0) vs PP (2-1)- EPL has been owning teams as they are the only undefeated team in the Diamond Division. Ant has been lights out as usual and has brought l3lack_jesus along for the ride. Top to bottom they are the best team in UIC without any doubt. PP is looking for a shocker, and I dont mean their leading player. PP will need their top team plus some to pull off this upset but they do keep it close.
EPL over PP 3-2
SS (0-3) vs EC (1-2) - SS, we all know the story. Nigel runs his mouth saying they are good but yet no wins and only 4 games won. I will give SS credit they played EPL pretty tough, well alot tougher then I thought they would. EC has been somewhat of a disappointment. A team that had a good regular season has started slow but they have enough to hold off even a more sluggish SS team.
EC over SS 3-2
DC (1-2) vs LPL (2-1) - DC hasn't been as strong as I thought they could be. Englishman seems to be the only player that is showing up to shoot for them. They will need alot more then 1 solid player to pull off this upset. LPL has a solid team and could be a the second best in the division. I hope englishman speaks Spanish cause its adios for DC.
LPL over DC 4-1
UP (2-1) vs FR (1-2) - On paper you would think UP should roll with this one but UP has not been the same team as they were last season and in MLP and PLC the past few seasons. They haven't been getting full teams and they haven't been shooting smart. FR has a few decent players but not the caliber of UP.
UP over FR 3-2
Emerald Division
BP (2-1) vs DS (2-1) - Well anyone who has been around pool long enough DS and BP have alot of players who play in both leagues and in PRO shoot under the DS name. Ross and Tim know each other well and it should be like a chess match on who's shooting when. This match could go either way and will come down to a 5th game decider. Linda will pull through in the clutch.
DS over BP 3-2
Match of the Week
MP (2-1) vs BnR (3-0) - BnR jumped all over DS last week winning 3-2 and MP should be undefeated if it was for the cam mishap. BnR has gotten alot better with alot of new players shooting for them. MP has just found a way to get it done. With Simon and Jason you would think that this would be an easy BnR win but MP won't give in that easy.
BnR over BP 3-2
PFN (0-3) vs DP (1-2) - Not much to say here. DP has beaten an easy EP team, no showed and lost a tough one to DS 3-2. PFN is interlg perfection. All they do is win. DP doesn't stand any kind of chance here. Kerry has a hugh welcome back to UIC.
PFN over DP 5-0
TC (2-1) vs EP (0-3) - Well this will be a coming out party for TC to show the rest of UIC they are for real. I said from the beginning that TC was a team to watch and after a hugh win here TC will be 3-1 and in the hunt for the top spot. EP has some good players that just haven't done to much.
TC over EP 4-1
Diamond Match of the Week
EPL (3-0) vs PP (2-1)- EPL has been owning teams as they are the only undefeated team in the Diamond Division. Ant has been lights out as usual and has brought l3lack_jesus along for the ride.

Week 3
Sorry that this is gonna be short but working 3 doubles the past 3 days has killed me, dumb bitch still stole money from the register with 4 cameras watching her.
DD
Match of the Week
LPL (1-1) vs FR (1-1)
2 solid teams face off here. FR has played better then I expected and the addition of Ashley (2-0) has really keep them alive in their matches. LPL has home table advantage and Tino (0-1) can call a good match but FR is feeling it and will pull off a very tough win.
FR over LPL 3-2
***Upset Alert***
DC (0-2) vs UP (2-0)
These two teams will get to know each other quite well as they play in UIC, PLC and MLP this week. Both teams want to get out to an early advantage in the week long series but UP has the better players. Uber will need englishman (2-0) and the rest of his team to show up and be ready to play. The upset comes in UP has been struggling all season to get a full team of players. If UP shows with a good team DC stands no chance.
UP over DC 3-2
EPL (2-0) vs SS (0-2)
I was at a MLP match this week and all I heard was bitching and crying from Nigel that SS doesn't get any respect in UIC and they are better then everyone says. Well lets see they have won 3 games out of 10 and 1 of them was by FF because UP couldn't field a full team. In MLP they are 1-3 and they don't play in PLC, god forbid someone from SS play on cam. Nigel needs to take the sand out of his vagina and realize that SS really isn't a good interlg team. As for EPL, I hope Ant brings his best team top to bottom and slaps the shit out of SS just for the fun it.
EPL over SS 5-0 in smashing fashion
EC (1-1) vs PP (1-1)
Another interesting match with 2 teams that are pretty even. Shocker (2-0) and Dina (2-0) have paced PP so far and will need their top game and more if they want to get a win. Marky and David not being around are hurting their chances so Neo (1-0) needs his a game to help carry the load. EC had almost 2 completely different teams show up the past 2 weeks as aop_kash (2-0) is the only repeat player from both weeks. They will need some more top players to show up if they want and chance of winning.
EC over PP 3-2 via Home Table Advantage
ED
DP (0-2) vs EP (0-2)
A battle of the cellar dwellers here as both teams are 0-2 and have won a total of 5 games. EP has the positive of they show up every week where DP no showed last week. If DP shows they will run over EP, if they don't EP will get their first win of the season.
DP over EP 4-1
TC (1-1) vs Bye
Congrats TC on your second win of the season. Enjoy the day off and come watch some matches, you have some good players but lack the interlg experience, maybe they can pick up some pointers.
BP (2-0) vs MP (1-1)
MP should be 2-0 but because a dumb ass doesn't know rules of cam they are 1-1. Mike (1-0, 1 credit) will need to bring his A game along with the rest of MP if they want a chance to beat BP. Tim has BP rolling as they haven't really been pressed all season. Kevin (1-0) and company will steamroll MP if they show up to play.
BP over MP 4-1
Match of the Week
BnR (2-0) vs DS (2-0)
2 division powerhouses go head to head this week. Both are 2-0 and both have had to save themselves in game 5 matches already this season. Chuck (2-0) and Ronin (2-0) lead a strong DS team while Rick (1-0) and Jay (1-0) both have alot of interlg experience. BnR has Jason (1-0, 1 credit) and Brownie (2-0) along with Simon (1-1) and hammernail (1-0) all who have been around for a while. They key to this match is who has the stronger 5th shooter. Roy or Ross against redhot I have to give the advantage to DS.
DS over BnR 3-2 in thrilling fashion, Game 5
Good Luck to all teams and players this week.

Week 2 Summary
Week 2 was another great week for UIC. Alot of great matches going down to the wire and alot of blown chances, so is life on Yahoo Pool. This will be a short post due to work.
DD Review
Match of the Week proved to be that and more. UP jumped out to an early 2-0 lead and then questions started to rise as aaron was looking for a 5th player. Candi lost a close one to ms_dina_mite in the 3rd and junglejim got owned in the 4th so it was up to aaron and the team capt came through letting Up hold on for the 3-2 win.
LPL came to play as they took it SS 4-1. Craig and Steven just couldnt get anything done against the always tough LPL'ers. Straightshots_dj got their lone win.
FR and EC went 2-2 into the final match so the pressure shifted to chippedbeaver and ec_runner. A tight match that went back and forth saw ec_runner with a table length shot for the win and it just misses the pocket. Chippedbeaver took advantage of the mistake and ran the final 2 balls out giving FR a 3-2 win.
EPL jumps to 2-0 on the season as they hang on to beat DC 3-2. Uber brought a good team but to no ones surprise Ant comes through in the clutch and finishes out the match.
ED Review
First off 2 No shows and the first death of season 8 as BAB is done for and DP no shows against MP so congrats to MP and BP on your hard fought wins. LMAO.
In Match of the Week DS showed some power as Jay, Rick and Ronin all but ended TC's chances of pulling the upset as they won the first three matches. Chuck won the final as Annie played a tough match in the 4th in a loss. Gav got the win for TC.
Finally BnR won a thrilling 3-2 match over EP. Brownie played a great match in the final to clinch the win for a surging BnR team.

Week 2
Welcome back for week 2 of UIC. Alot of 3-2 matches last week hopefully this week can live up to the hype.
Diamond Division
Match of the Week
Pool Pals vs United Pool
Neo brought a good team last week and was able to hold off a tough LPL team but if he has any ideas of winning this week he will need Marky and Dave to show up. United is coming off a disappointing week 1 victory having only 4 players show, one being Marcy who changed lg's on a timer. I think Pete and Kets realized they got lucky and they need more this week if they want to win. Top to bottom UP has better players and when their full teams shows this week they will win a tough one.
UP over PP 3-2
Latino Pool Legends vs Straightshots
Both lgs suffered tough 3-2 losses last week and are looking to bounce back. LPL has a solid team and Tino would be a great help this week but they will not need him to win this week. Uriiel66 had a big win last week for LPL and he will grab another this week. Steven won the 7PM UIC Swiss and will try to carry his momentum over to the match and Craig will bring his A game but it won't be enough this week.
LPL over SS 3-2
Extreme Cues vs Freedom
EC won the battle of the cues last week while FR blew a 2-0 lead vs EPL last week. Marcoo_ec will need to come up with another win to start them off and they will need aop_kash to come through again in the clutch if they want to hold off this tougher then I thought FR team. Ashley got a big win for them last week but they lost skillz_2_sh0w to MP so they will need someone else to come and step up if they have any chance of winning, enter spin.technician. Another close match but EC will hold on for the BIG W.
EC over FR 3-2
Devine Cues vs Elite Pool Legends
DC got welcomed into UIC with a tough 3-2 loss while EPL pulled a magic trick out of their hat winning the final 3 games to get a victory. Eng.lishman will need to have a great week along with the rest of DC if they have any chances of winning this one. EPL's got tw.ista, trump and Ant and by the time Ant sees the table DC will be waving the white flag for mercy.
EPL over DC 4-1
Emerald Division
Match of the Week
Deadstrokes vs True Champs
DS had Chuck come through in a tough game 5 to get the win while TC took advantage of the misfortunes of a bad tape to sneak out a win. Ross will be bringing his A team with Roy, Jay (wtf_ima_jedi) who is back from Iraq and playing for DS, Ronin, Rick Chuck, Vishu and others. TC will rely on any_jumps to jump start them as they try and pull the second upset in a row. But with DS having the home table advantage they will hold on to win.
DS over TC 3-2
Dream Pool vs Magic Pool
DP lost a tough match last week and while MP lost on their own stupidity. These are 2 teams that know each other well and this should be one of the more intense matches of the season. DP will have sukioo and do_your_best leading the way on the bounce back road while MP will need to make sure they have their cams setup right so they don't give away any more cheap wins. Mike I'm sure will be working on that. DP is still to much for a struggling MP team.
DP over MP 3-2
Break and Run vs Eclipse Pool
BnR is getting better and stronger as the weeks go on in all interlgs while EP couldn't even get enough players last week. Simon and Jason are two of the better players around and will certainly lead BnR to a convinceing win this week. EP will need super_hero to have a super week along with the rest of the players if they have any chance of keeping this close.
BnR over EP 4-1
Bad Ass Ballers vs Brit Pool
This match won't even be close. Tim has a solid group of players and they will show up to keep their hands on first place, since they won 4-1 last week. BAB couldn't field a full team and even with a full team they still don't stand a chance.
BP over BAB in a sweep 5-0

DC held their own against an EC team that placed second season but lacked the power to win the final match. How different could the result have been if uber.geeky was there to close it for DC?
EPL vs FR
Predicted Score EPL over FR 4-1
Actual Score EPLover FR 3-2
EPL had to be quite worried after tw.ista and trumpsterized lost and were down 2-1 which was a shock to most people I'm sure. But EPL wasn't out of it as siccret_weapon won match 4 and Ant wins match 5 to hold on for the victory.
Match of the Week LPL vs PP
Predicted Score LPL over PP 3-2
Actual Score PP over LPL 3-2
Another match that came down to the final game. And one has to wonder where tino.nica was. If he played the final game and called the match LPL as capt it could have resulted in a LPL win. Congrats to Neo as shocker_58 pulls out a game 5 win and proves this predictor wrong.
UP vs SS
Predicted Score UP over SS 4-1
Actual Score UP over SS 3-2
Where the hell was UP? No Kets, No Pete, No Pommy, No Aaron. can we say that UP got very lucky with only having 4 players show up. If Steven or one of their other players were able to squeak out a win UP would have been 0-1 on the season. Congrats to SS for putting a good scare in the defending champs.
BAB vs BNR
Predicted Score BNR over BAB 4-1
Actual Score BNR over BAB 3-2
BAB smelled the upset from match number 1 as they jumped out to the 2-0 lead but you need a full team. New addition Simon got BNR back on track and brownie won the decider as BNR's other newest player jasonlippi01 took the FF win.
BP vs EP
Predicted Score BP over EP 3-2
Actual Score BP over EP 4-1
BP flexed some muscle tonight after falling behind after match 1. Tim had a deep and by the time that Kevin (gameover) finished the second match EP saw their match was over. Again, EP was another team that couldn't bring a full team to week 1.
Match of the Week
DP vs DS
Predicted Score DP over DS 3-2
Actual Score DS over DP 3-2
This match lived up to the billing as it went back and forth through all 5 matches. Palp and Ross won for DS and suikoo and doyourbest1 won for Dp to make a pressure cooker in the 5th. DS fires with Chuck in the decider and he was able to come through in the end to give DS the win.
Upset of the Week
MP vs TC
Predicted Score TC over MP 3-2
Actual Score MP over TC 3-2
By the time Mike got a chance to shoot in the third match the upset pick was coming true. He took to the table down 2-0 but it didn't stop him from picking MP and pushing them on to 3 straight wins. Congrats to Mike, Dan and stpso4414 for winning it in the pressure spots.
Great start to Season 8 of UIC and here is to 13 more weeks of great matches.
