20 l1_stephen_1 vs 5 luisj_barreto
Stephen is a new comer to these stages of 8brcam. I hope you've heard of Luis. He is going to give you a rough showing in Quarter Finals. Your good streak is going to end.
Nice season stephen.
It has to be true because it ryhmes
Round Prediction 7-4 luisj_barreto
Round Result 7-3 luisj_barreto
2 mvp_sicc vs 10 MJ_The_King
Ant is one of the best playing right now. I am the defending champ. To get the victory you have to get through me this time Ant and I've been waiting to play you.
I know you will be at the top of your game. Im interested in beating another winner of 8brcam from this year but that just wouldn't be fair right?
I play for keeps
Prediction 7-3 MJ
Hit the training tables Stu. I'm coming for you next.

8brcam Playoff Predictions Rnd 2
1 adambuddy vs 16 x_therage
Adam
this seasons #1 player and its his 2nd time in 3 seasons. He is here to play and this time I think he wants that semi finals showing. He was the hottest player in 8brcam and I think hes got the type of game thats going to get through tanmay.
Tanmay
he is always an underrated opponent and has played great players to the limits. Hes made semis and hes got the game for more. Its going to be about timing and luck for this player unless he finds a way to see whole tables as oppose to just playing off his shot. Hes a coin flip as of late and hes got to hit consistant form at sometime.
Round 2 prediction 7-5 Adam

CK
One of the consistant players in ypool stretching back to 2005.

CK
Two time finalist.
Jamie

However when it comes to consistency I think CK holds a strong edge over Jamie. as of late.
CK 7-2 over Jamie
My prediction
take it to the bank

4 p00l_charlie vs 20 l1_stephen_1
Stephen
Well Stephen pulled out a underdog win but it didn't look it if you were there. It clearly showed that Jordan was not his usual self in this match. It could either be from rust as he didn't even finish his sets (got in playoffs off of two 10's). Stephen, however, also managed to show he is someone to be watched. He ran tables and was well under control for most part he also played safeties in the correct spot.
Charlie
A well known player and a good player. Hes not quite at a point where I would consider him to be a threat to win it all anymore, But with that being said he is also capable of beating almost everyone in this competition. Charlie has gone from the guy who used to brown nose behind good players because he always lost(Charlie) to talking trash towards many and winning(PC). Which one shows up this season? I feel like his trash talking days are behind him, for a little while anyway(right charlie?). IF he still feels he is the best then he's going to have to prove it. This is a good chance for Charlie to show he isn't a middle tier type of player.

5 luisj_barreto vs 12 legend.skillz
Luis
The man doesnt really need an introduction. He is the most winningest player in 8brcam history and for anyone who remembers W.P.C. ,the original cam competition, he is the most winningest player of that competition too. He should always be the favorite.
Cameron
He has shown signs of improvement recently and has beaten si this season (si is coming off his worst season ever) and he carred his P throuh round one of the 2v2 and almost did it again until he went up against...yeah Luis. They went the distance but I want to see how he does in the competition Luis likes more.

Ant
The two time 8brcam winner and once was earlier this year, he also had a finals loss this year. A very successful year as hes done something most will never do in getting to a 8brcam finals. He looks like he has caught some form again and hes undefeated so far this season(I'm going to ignore his sad outings in every other competiton).
Marcel
He made semis last season and is in semis of ucc now. This is a tough player when he is on but a completely different player when hes not into the race. If he comes into this thinking hes lost then Ant will really dominate this set. Marcel though has shown toughness against Ant and I dont think hes quite ready to let Ant through.

No Prediction
*The Source*
Back to back champ in MJ versus an old school player who has always held his own in 8brcam. It will all come down to which player is playing their best pool on the day. Unfortunately, I think Chirag's best pool hasn't been seen in quite some time. MJ on the other hand has been playing some of his best multi game races in years. Confidence will be key and I look for MJ to come out on top as a consequence: 7-3 MJ.

Many of you might or might not remember this and here we are at the end of the season. Lets take a look back at the prediction.
Now onto *The Source* with successful predictions already far under way in 8brcam he would like to make his first end of season prediction and say that brock aka art1stic will end with the worst record in 8brcam barring any forfeits.
Brock
il_remix 0 5 0 15 35 30%
Yes indeed. The worst record in 8brcam division A.
It also seems like another of the sources predictions was right on as tanmay has already beat tj 7-4 in rnd 1.
Cant wait to see Anil vs Marcel? I Know.
Im asking for lotto numbers soon

Tanmay usually does well in playoffs and tj hasn't been shooting much lately. This shouldn't be a close one.
7-3 Tanmay

7-4 Tanmay
8 xxl_czechmate_lxx vs 25 pro.jeremy
CK is a favorite to go deep in the playoffs, Jeremy can run pretty well but it wont be enough to be a serious theat to CK. Jeremy did make wcp finals not too long ago but this is 8brcam.
7-2 CK
9 xlx_britishpoolking_xlx vs 24 ilezo
Jamie and Chex. Both are good players and this is a pretty good match up. Both make mistakes and both can run out tables. Jamie is a lot more experienced and I think he plays the Spanish players harder because hes racist.
7-4 Jamie
13 xlx_skill_xlx vs 20 l1_stephen_1
Well I'm always saying good things about Jordan but this fella Stephen isn't too bad either. I think this can go on to be a close race or Jordan will dominate it with precise and slow play. Stephen is more of a runner and safeties on open tables so as long as Jordan doesn't clear out early and fail he should do alright.
7-5 Jordan
12 legend.skillz vs 21 Powers_Seduction
Winner of this plays Luis. GL

15 AaaaaaaaaNIL vs 18 Drill__
Two good all around players. Anil has been much more successful in groups then in the playoffs. Marcel more successful in playoffs then groups. All the signs lead to Marcel beating Anil but I just don't really know.
8-6 Marcel
*The Source*
7-4 Marcel
7 jabronni16 vs 26 leeds_united14
Chirag is an all around player that can be a threat to go deep into playoffs. Jon is an all around player that could go deep into playoffs. The problem here is that they play each other and they both cant advance. I think Chirag is going to be able to knock this one down and be ready for his next match.
7-3 Chirag

Its kind of odd picking my own score so I wont, if you guys like you can predict on comments but Ill leave these to play out on the tables.

Jason and Sergio. Two players who are probably not going to get better anytime soon. This is going to be a close match between two average players.
7-5 Jason

Now here is an interesting match up. Two players Ive mentioned in this blog. Krunal has been away a long time. He is a former finalist and was a player who managed huge wins against big name players in the past. Jesus is a bit of an up and comer and I think hes going to cum all over Krunal in this match up.
7-2 Jesus

Players to watch
Ofcourse there are always the players who you know should do well in competitions.
Myself,CK,SI,Luis,Ant,Stu,Charlie
But this post isnt about them, they get talked about all the time.
Here is the next group of players who are capable of a huge upset in playoffs.
1. adambuddy - hes been #1 seed already this year and it looks like he has the best record this season again barring any ff's like ants soon to be 10-0. He is a good player all around and even beat me in groups and im sure he wants to carry that 6-0-0season momentum into a deep playoff run. He has quite a few flaws in his game and is gonna have to find a way into that next step a player takes to become relevant in regular talks of being a contending player.
2.jabronni16 - Hes won a prize tourney before and made final in a 8brcam season. I didnt really count last season when I saw him even though he had a good record, because it was his returning season. This being his 2nd full season though we will see how the guy really does come playoff time.
3.xl_gameover_lx - We all know kevin and his loud mouth. Hes also been behind numerous upsets over big name players. He is border line even when hes playing his best. I think he needs to just play the game and stop worrying about chatting shit and the rest should play itself out.
4.optimus.price_xl - I dont know when its going to happen but this guy will have a breakout season. He is a very smart player and I've mentioned him before but I know when I see potential and this man has it.
5. xlx_skill_xlx - A very solid player. His only loss so far is to Luis and his set vs kevin(sixohtwo) will be telling but I cant make a list without mentioning him.

PC Spot Light
Well this guy man...What can I say about him. Kevin made a post about him on his blog but I'm not going to rant about that too much. But he has said hes picked his game back up and is playing great pool. He also believes he is probably the best active playing player if someone asked him. Hes won back to back 8brcam championships and has 1 ucc win and is in ucc finals now. He is currently 5-0-0 in 8brcam and I guess you can say hes lived up to the word hes said of playing well.
Ive also noticed how I am 2-0 vs PC in 8brcam and 0-1 or 0-2 in ucc. I cant say he is a bad player because he is not,clearly. What I can say is that his ego is clearly bloated lately.
He said he would play me for money but did not want to put the money up when it came down to it. He said he would embarrass me and how he would dismantle me in a race. So as it turns out we got matched up in wcp 2v2 after Craig's impressive carry. PC is as hot as he is ever going to be right now so it was a perfect time to play him.
He was mouthy as ever. Extremely confident in his game. he demanded I play him as I was online but I already had plans.
Here is the conversation
Charlie (11/10/2009 5:36:54 PM): ur playin sum1 else in a set?

All I can really say is that I'm looking forward to the chance of potentially beating Charlie 3-0 in 3 cam comps.

Cam Comps
So basically I've put a really long and hard thought about this one. We have quite a few cam competitions as I have said previously. Now I am thinking about which ones are really worth playing. I say worth playing because when you win one you get a sense of entitlement. Now think about which cam comp would give you that appeasement. I can only speak for myself and if I was to select a general order of rank for the competitions this would be it.
1. 8brcam
The longest current running Cam Competition. It is always ran the best, with the best competition, and is the ideal comp everyone wants to win.
2. U.C.C.
This comp hasseen better days, but even at that its never been #1. It had a good run witih ucc master but I think it did more hurt then good for the comp. Its days are numbered but for now. It is #2
3. W.C.P.
This is a new format type of cometition and it seems like the players have taken a real liking to this style comp. With the 2v2 probably deciding whether this is going to be the #2 competition sooner then later depending on the success it will have on the players in it
There are other competition out but even with the next 2 being warmups for 8brcam there are no other cam comps worth playing in or mentioning.
