IPA 6 Week One Predictions

In weeks one through 4 we have all cross group matches which should be fun to see how it plays out, it’s the 1st time IPA has gone this route and it follows in the same schedule format as pro, so kudos to Petey on his inspiration to fellow Canadian Drew and changing things up a bit now onto predictions.

Dead Strokes vs. Freedom
So this 1st match up pits my top predicted teams to their respective groups, meaning we are bound for one hell of a match up here. James will be looking to start off strong against the FR power house, but this will all depend on who makes it to the table in this match, with 3 of the likely players being Chele, Carl and James himself they have a good shot of picking up 3 wins with the home team advantage. FR lead as always by Petey always seem to surprise me and change things up, I predicted FR to top the red group because they can have one of the best teams possible when players like Matt and Trav show and are on their game a long with the other players Petey will bring they can be unstoppable but will they show here or consistently?
Lucky for me this is IPA and I can go with a 3-3 draw

Pool Dragonz vs. Straight Shots
DJ led Britpool to the season title last season here in IPA and will be looking to do it this season with PDZ. The additions made to the PDZ team this season with BP being out of it can only benefit PDZ as the key players they have picked up bring some much needed experience to the team. Nigel will look to make an impact in the season opener so I expect that he will try to bring his better players and he will need them as well if they want to start this season off strong, SS have been struggling recently and need to kick things into gear or PDZ will run rough shot in this one.
4-2 PDZ in what should be a fun match

Sexy Poolerz vs. Streak Breakerz
So this match pits who I’ve predicted at the bottom of each group against each other which only means one thing, this is good news for one team and really bad news for the other as it makes the season that much tougher, oh wait this is IPA so with the way SP have been struggling in recent weeks and SB being new on the scene.
Much like in the DS vs. FR match I’m lucky I can go with a 3-3 draw

Explicit Ballers vs. Big Dogs
Ok so with the late entry of BD replacing the last minute withdrawing of EPC knowing EB has a talented team in UIC Diamond Division and BD are at the bottom of the UIC Emerald Division.
6-0 EB... Prove me wrong BD

Good Luck all in the season opener, I hope you enjoy reading these predictions and I hope that as the season progresses I will get a little better and more entertaining with them as I see what the teams bring to the table. Remember these predictions are just for fun and should not be taken to heart and I always look forward to being proven wrong; most importantly remember to have fun
