IPA Season 5 Week 1 Recap

Ok I will start this off by saying I will NOT and I repeat will NOT being doing a recap every week but seeing as how this is the 1st week and it has prompted some changes here it goes.

Britpool vs. Break And Run - Result 4-2 BP

It seems as though I called this match dead on as I predicted a 4-2 result in favor of BP, game 1 of this match up Ross started off for BNR and got thing rolling as Ross defeated Ben to put BNR up 1-0, game 2 we saw BP's UIC MVP s.lacka playing IPA for BNR steamroll his top contender for that UIC MVP trophy in James putting BNR up 2-0 over what looked to be a faltering BP side from the get go as we’ve come to expect from them in recent weeks, game 3 pitted BP's new found captain in DJ against someone I thought had retired in Rick (lager_drinking_freak) is what he use to go by don't know if he still does or not but DJ picked up a win over Rick giving BP a chance with some momentum on their side, from there we saw Joe beat Dina in a game that really could have gone either way but edging BP back to even with a score of 2-2, now yes we all know IPA is a 6v6 but game 5 here happened to be the decider when Drew somehow defeated Jase (from PL) Drew must of been due for a win, bringing it to 3-2 BP and BNR sadly not having a 6th this week gave it to BP 4-2 in what was a great match to kick off the season.

Sexy Poolerz vs. International Cue Addiction Result 6-0 SP

When I predicted this match 3-3 I was under the impression ICA would show... well guess what they didn't 6-0 SP after 12 minutes of timers, nothing else to say other then I hope to see ICA get their act together

Straight Shots vs. 8 Ball Crushers Result 5-1 SS

In a match that had more drama then a season of Days of our Lives we saw SS use the coaching rule to their advantage and some would say coaching was taken to a whole new level in this match up, in fact from what I heard and what I personally saw it was rather sad to watch this match, as pathetic as it was to watch SS take such advantage of a new rule IPA had put in place it was just as pathetic to watch the way 8BC choose to deal with it, something tells me this match had a great deal of influence on IPA going back to its NO Coaching Policy, SS I hope your proud of your win at all costs methods and the disrespect and shame you have earned yourselves by many, 8BC I hope your players grow up and remember that this is just a game, if you can't take some of the aspects of the game then GTFO and don't play, I do hope that everyone watching has learned how not to act from this match and that the season plays out much better.

Deadstrokes vs. Latino Pool Legends Result 2-4 LPL

I expect LPL to win it all this season and with a 4-2 start to the season in which 6 players showed to the table LPL will be looking to make it a long season for everyone else, I don't really have much to say about this match as everything was peaceful and went as expected with no drama and problems, congrats to both these teams on not adding to admins hellish lives.

Freedom vs. Money in the Bank Result 1-5 MIB

So another peaceful match up here between the two predicted cellar dwellers as MIB steamrolled a shorthanded FR side, we saw the likes of some players we haven't seen around in awhile, we saw the return of Tom (west_coast_guy420) a stoner from the west coast we can presume and we saw ash make a long awaited return but we also saw the rust in their games prevail as they both lost games they easily could of won, MIB put on a good showing this week but with MIB will the trend they have set in the past pan out once again where they start off good and end up failing hard and fast? Only time will tell so let’s enjoy the next 17 weeks of season 5 and see how things go.

Week 2 Predictions will be up later in the week
