Player	TWDT-D	TWDT-J	TWDT-B	Overall Stars	TWDT 2014	Showrate	Coachability	Shark/Terr 7+	Rating	Notes
Aprix	6	8	7	21	9	8	7		83	Aprix is a high level javelin who has impressed in spider in TWLB and TWDT-B playoffs. Don't sleep on his ability to excel in two leagues
Undercut	6	6	8	20	9	10	9		83	Led Kusoge to the TWDT-B finals last year, and is a veteran spider who can play every ship well. Active and easy to captain.
Solace	6	6	9	21	8	6	10		83	My favorite spider in the zone. Elite player in only one ship, but super nice guy and great at what he does. Showrate is mediocre, but he usually will do playoffs.
Tripin	8	6	6	20	9	10	7		82	Won TWDT-D alongside Fierce teammates Apok and Lasenza last season, showed every week, and played well. Above average wb and great pick for a TWDT-D run
Rab	6	6	7	19	10	10	7		82	Put up crazy scores in wb and spider last year as an underrated player, and is being slept on again this year despite a 100% showrate and impressive statlines
Rough	6	9	7	22	8	9	1		82	Elite javelin, decent underspid, shows consistently but is an absolute squad cancer and terrible person. You need to want TWDT-J badly to draft this person.
Best	8	8	7	23	7	7	3		82	One of the strongest legitimate three leaguers around, Best is an elite wb, jav, and spider. Either an amazing pick or a terrible one, depending on your rapport with him.
a2m	7	7	9	23	7	3	8	9	81	Legendary shark and strong wb, a2m can't show much but when he does he's a legitimate threat. Great personality, a good mid-round gamble for the basing-minded.
DOWNFALL	6	7	8	21	7	8	7	8	81	Draft him for an above average shark if you didn't nab one or two in the first few rounds, as they're in short supply. Was strong in TWDT last year and a good choice
6	20	8	7	6	8	81
Oderus Urungus	6	6	8	20	6	8	5	8	81	Oftentimes winner of TWDT, and has sharked multiple DT-B finals, winning in 2011. Versatile baser who can shark and terr well. Shows, and a good pick for TWDT-B.
Weak	9	7	7	22	7	5	8		81	Weak is an elite warbird who is also a strong jav and spid, although he can't show every week. A great pick for wb enthusiasts -- inquire about his work schedule first, though.
Zeebu	6	7	8	21	7	8	7		80	Great player, above-average spider and solid jav, good choice as a 6-Star wb as well.
Evildeed	6	8	6	20		7	7		80	Top tier javelin
amnesti	6	9	6	21		7	4		80	A force in javelin, and current TWLJ champ. Nice, but very difficult to coach, threatened to quit multiple times during TWL season if someone wasnt axed (usually Steadman)
Singer	6	8	6	20	8	7	7		80	A topflight javelin who was dominant in the league last year. A great TWDT-J pick. Hasn't signed on this year.
sphinx	6	6	8	20	7	7	7		80	Strong spider who was solid in TWDT-B and TWLB last year. Recommended.
Megalo	7	6	8	21		7	7		80	Elite spider who constantly puts up big numbers in base and shows.
Welt	9	6	6	21		8	6		80	Back-to-back TWLD champion Welt has been a confounding opponent to many, but his showrate is up-in-the-air when it comes to TWDT.
Roiwerk	6	8	6	20		8	7		80	An elite javelin with godly lag
Medal Dodger	7	6	9	23		3	10		80	One of the greatest spiders of all-time, but works Sundays and has limited activity. Above-average warbird
okyo	7	7	6	21	8	7	7		79	A really solid fighter across all three leagues, shows and is coachable.
euforia	7	8	6	21	8	7	8		79	Euforia has won 7 TWDT titles in 4 years. Draft him as a good luck charm, and get a great jav as a bonus. Don't believe anything he says about his terring -- it STINKS.
fram	7	7	7	21	8	7	4		79	The perennial 7-7-7, fram has insane lag and is a beast in javelin and spider for his star level. Mediocre showrate, oftens threatens to quit but never does.
Henry Saari	6	6	8	20	8	10	8		77	Didn't miss a single TWDT or TWL game last year, played all three leagues, and was good in one of them (base.) Good spid with dominant stats in TWLB last season
Mean Gene	6	8	7	21	7	6	7	7	77	A TWDT-B mainstay, he last clinched the title in 2013 on Baratheon, dominating in spider. Also a top-notch javelin with tons of TWLJ experience. Decent showrate.
wax	6	7	7	20	8	7	8		77	Was above average in TWDT-J last year, and solid in TWDT-B. Coachable and shows.
Steadman	7	8	6	21	8	9	1		77	A strong jav who shows, he's the poor man's Rough, being a worse teamer but slightly better human being. Uncoachable, will refuse to jav unless he wb/bases, which he sucks at
Torcher	6	8	7	21	4	6	7		77	Great jav who'd do well on any TWDT-J focused team
Tiny	6	8	6	20		8	6		77	Current TWLJ champion with strong javelin abilities
Spawnisen	6	8	6	20	7	7	7		77	Top-notch javelin who is underrated in spider and active this past year.
skatarius	7	7	7	21		6	7	7	76	Capped the last two TWDT seasons, and was a solid baser who showed.
Jessup	8	6	6	19		9	10		75	TWLD All-star player, can terr if desperate, and one of the nicest guys and best caps in Trench Wars.
nokkonen	6	6	7	19	6	7	6	7	75	nokkonen will be a valuable addition, especially since sharks are in high demand with only slightly more than a dozen legit ones available
beam	8	6	6	20	6	9	1		74	A strong warbird and even better dueler, is incredibly active but is pretty much uncoachable and the biggest troll in subspace.
Zazerick	6	8	6	20	4	7	7		74	Really good javelin, and a solid overall choice.
Children	7	9	7	22	2	8	1		74	A fearless javelin who excels in TWLJ, is one of the worst TWDT picks imaginable, and usually quits 2-3 weeks in, on top of being a squad cancer. Draft at your own risk
TheWadoRooster	5	6	6	17	8	9	8		74	Probably the best 6-Star spider in the draft, was a big contributor in Kusoge's TWDT-B Finals run and played every week. A great pick.
Jack	8	7	7	22	6	4	10		74	Another true three-league veteran, good in every fighter ship but poor at showing up. Nicest guy in subspace.
Clark Kentaro	8	6	6	20	3	5	8		74	A strong warbird with tons of TWLD experience. Couldn't show much last year, not sure about this season.
Reckful	6	6	6	18	7	9	6		73	A solid spider in TWDT last year, one of the better 6-Star players in base, and a good choice. Finicky about who caps him.
Thugs	6	6	6	17	7	9	7		73	Decent 6-Star spider pick
Heaven	6	6	6	18	6	7	9		73	A versatile baser who can terr at the TWDT level as well as spider, and fill in at wb or jav. Great guy and active, but make sure he can show Sundays.
Paky Dude	8	6	6	20		7	7		73	Above average warbirding player with dozens of TWLD seasons under his belt
menelvagor	6	6	8	20	7	4	7	8	73	Strong shark, albeit had lag issues in TWDT last year, and didn't show often. A gamble.
Crow_CAW_CAW_CAW	6	6	6	17	7	8	7		72	Another great low-star pick who showed often and helped his team reach the playoffs
Murder	7	7	7	21	1	4	8		72	Used to be a fantastic TWDT pick as he is a true 3-Leaguer, but inactive past few years.
Raazi	8	6	6	20	4	4	4		72	Talented warbird, mediocre showrate, bad attitude.
SNSD Sooyoung	7	6	7	20		4	2		72	Demanded I do his write-up immediately. Strong wb and spider, if you can get him to show and play. Good luck with that!
Fork	6	7	6	19		8	9		72	Good jav, very coachable, and incredibly active.
swim	7	7	6	20		7	7		71	Solid jav and wb, and underrated in spider. A nice 6-Star basing pick.
Tarnish	8	6	6	20		7	7		71
Weaver	8	6	7	21		4	10		71	Extremely talented, but not super active
Geio	8	7	6	21	6	5	2		71	Convicted cheater, useless in TWDT three seasons running. Good wb if he's active and you can get him to show.
Fatrolls	7	6	6	19		7	7		71	Excellent wb.
maze of torment	7	7	6	20		7	7		71
frightful	6	7	6	19	5	7	6		71
siaxis	7	6	6	20	3	6	6		70	Solid wb and Basing Cup champion, which he will remind you of, loudly and often
jerome <ZH>	6	6	6	18	6	9	8		70	Was very active last year on Kusoge and a decent baser. Very coachable, and possibly pliable given enough alcohol.
Lee	6	5	6	16	7	10	7		70	Very valuable low-star player who showed every week last year and helped Tool to two TWDT Finals appearance
Kim	6	8	6	20		5	7		70	Good jav
plob#f	7	7	7	21		4	8		70

J-B-Inc <ZH>	7	6	6	19	4	8	7		69	A solid wb who could be a good addition if you didn't draft warbirds early
Markmrw	5	5	6	16	7	10	10		69	Extremely active and much improved in base, can also shark in a pinch. Very coachable team player.
Mikes	6	6	7	19		4	9		69	Formerly a top tier underspid. Hasn't been active in ages.

Your 8 TWDT 2015 star packages. Decided to add a bit more flair and personality to them this year.

Your choices are:

Heavenly Warriors
HomeReckers
Schrodinger's KATC
Cocaine Cowboys
Gurliver's Travels
Tornado Roosters
Markmrw and the Funky Bunch
When in Jerome

[ogron]

*Note: Thix has quit the league because he's insulted by this thread. I'm not adding people to draft, then removing them, then adding them again -- not your errand boy.

Anyone resigning from the league after signing up is done for the season.

[Pressure]

ur the dog

[mtine]

So lemme get this straight...if you show for all the matches in a TWDT season you get a 7/10 showrate? Damn, I gotta go back to school, guess I missed something.
Oh and Jessup a 8 in wb...turban, you seize to amaze me year after year.

[Turban]

not sure if an insult or compliment LOL

[Geio]

Wow. You must never ever sleep. This is an intense compilement of information. Why are you not running twld ? Guy is amazing with spreadsheets and stats. Anyways don't put me with mighty this year...guy begged Tj and me to use each other's names looool

[kthx]

Dont say this often but claus is truly a badass, he should be somewhere very high in staff with the effort and dedication he puts into everything he does for this game. Its obvious he takes pride in what he does and it shows. A fucking +

[Geio]

Couldn't agree any more...Don't really care for him but nonetheless the guy puts in work and deserves credit. Should be in charge of TWL with Turban

[PrOnEsSim]

Don't think Mighty signed up this year, looool.

Good shit claus.

[Crescent Seal]

pretty impressive to see a guy that dedicated to his volunteer position. rest of staff should take notes. hope its a success good luck.

+1

[Geio]

What ever happened to Cres? Did he somehow Die again?

[parson]

As others have stated, good job Claus, I'm very pleased with the results. On a side note, pretty sure last time I checked, cres gave sika his alias right before he died.
