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
