PLC First Round:It seems as though it was ages ago that Soccerboy reigned triumphantly over the scsoccer.com community. Yes, the years have not been kind to his posting prowess. Apparently the blood that runs through Irmo alumni is thicker than we think and as one falls - so does the other. In this weakened state, WhatDoesItMatter was able to advance into 2nd round action - though Soccerboy intends to appeal under the clause that, "That's not how we do it in Illinois.."
WhatDoesItMatter will have a tough row to hoe though as he will face yet another past PLC champion in thevoiceofreason. The VOR will be fresh for the contest, being that TheHammer was so focused on Sky Sports updates on West Ham - he barely noticed his PLC defeat.
On the other end of the bracket CornerFlag faced an unprecedented "Mystery Wildcard Poster". Moments before match time a scrawny pole of a boy appeared before the debonair monument of machismo, CornerFlag. It was swanseawinger20!!! The winger immediately began a barrage of rudimentary juggling techniques. Poor CF was caught off guard by this.. ..display of ability? ..that he nearly lost outright. However, the years of dodging the CESA zog machine and experience promoting a dead region pulled CF through and into the 2nd round.
Finishing-up Bracket 1 action was an all girl's affair between LF and purpleandyellow. Yeah, I don't care either. purpleandyellow won.
Returning to Boy's forum action - Facing off at the top of Bracket 2 was the Sultan of Smack, the Pedagog of Pwn, shut^&play versus the ..well.. coldhardtruth. In what will surely go down in PLC history as the most brutal and taxing affair yet - both parties unleashed an unprecedented amount of verbal assaults, conundrums, proofs by absurdity, and various other methods of argument. Battered and broken, PLC veteran shut^&play advanced to the 2nd round.
The match between 2004Striker (affectionately known by his fans and antagonists as "Stroke") and Hurst66 was one of the more bizarre occurrences since the inception of the Poster's League. As usual, Stroke was accompanied to his match-up by his posse of inbred thugs with DNA more twisted than this file photo of Stroke in his prime.
Anticipating this move, Hurst brought along various members of the Lady Jackets soccer team. Left with no defense, poor old Stroke was overcome by Hurst's relentless posting ability. The PLC has received word that Stroke is doing well and will make a full recovery - in fact, he's reading up on obscure soccer articles from across the country as this is being posted.
Eager to reclaim his dignity after last year's episode with performance enhancers, prolific poster Chico was met by posting nobody - Coach Roseberry. Though many predicted Chico would runaway with the victory - Coach Roseberry's obscurity worked to his advantage and ultimately secured the upset victory. The linchpin of Chico's posting is his ability to compile obscure statistics and make substantial claims based on these facts and figures. Well, no one (let alone Chico) even knows where Westside is - or that they exist. Resulting in one of the most monumental collapses of recent memory.
Rounding out 1st round action and facing Coach Roseberry will be scsoccer.com pariah - Whiskey & Easy. Also facing PLC newcomer - oppressed emotions - W&E delivered accordingly vanquishing OE in a lopsided affair. While a downtrodden Anderson community celebrated the win - PLC officials have informed the W&E camp that there are "points of inquiry" that are being investigated regarding the events of the match.
