TWDT-D
1-Thunder (3-0)
2-WIN OR DIE (3-0) [+1]
3-Silence (2-1) [-1]
4-Meteorite (2-1) [+4]
5-Patouf (0-3) [+1]
6-ill (0-3) [-1]
7-Blooms (1-2) [-3]
8-Power (1-2) [-1]
Thunder, predictably, has dominated behind Ease, as he's on pace for his third consecutive undefeated season, with only one tough match left in WIN OR DIE. Racka is on pace for six wins, while Commodo's Silence has godking Lasenza and the talent in warbird, but poor showrates. Meteorite has risen +4 in the ranks, as Mythril and Geio have lifted them up. Patouf is 0-3, but has two easy games in Blooms and ill they should win. ill, Blooms, and Power have been unimpressive, and are each on pace to only win 1 more game in TWDT-D this season.
TWDT-J
1-Power (3-0)
2-Thunder (2-1)
3-Patouf (1-2) [+1]
4-Blooms (2-1) [+3]
5-Meteorite (1-2) [+1]
6-Silence (1-2) [-3]
7- WIN OR DIE (1-2) [-2]
8- ill (1-2)
Power has already defeated the top two other teams in TWDT-J, and seems poised to go 7-0 with their high-powered offense led by Zidane, Children and Rough, while Ease's Thunder also has an easy schedule and should finish 6-1 with Emperor Shadowmere on top of his game. Patouf's 1-2 is deceptive as they've already faced Power and Thunder, and I expect them to finish out 4-0 in the league behind Stayon, Bueno, and Tiny. Blooms is +3 in jav since WEEK 1, with two easy games they should win in the next two weeks, but then finish against Patouf and Thunder, and should get stomped. Meteorite and Silence have absolutely brutal schedules, taking on Thunder, Patouf and Power in 3 of the last 4 weeks -- expect them to only manage one win apiece down the stretch. ill has the same schedule, but expect an 0-4.
TWDT-B
1-Blooms (3-0) [+7]

8-ill (0-3) [-4]
Blooms has shot up a staggering +7 as a plethora of historical no-shows have decided to show to every game, and seem on pace to go 7-0, should they be able to get by Patouf this Sunday. At worst, they should go 6-1. Patouf is also undefeated, but has a hard schedule in Power, Thunder, and Blooms. Power and Thunder are both 2-1 and seem about even in talent, with Zidane's squad being tested, as they take on Patouf, Thunder, and WIN OR DIE down the stretch -- all good teams. Thunder has surged since acquiring TABARNAK!!!, with two easy games vs. Meteorite and Silence, and two difficult games vs. Patouf and Power. WIN OR DIE has a good team, but TWDT-B has some stacked teams, and I expect them to finish 2-2 in the final 4 weeks. At the bottom lie Meteorite, Silence, and ill, but these squads are all replete with basing talent and capable of upsets, so don't let your guard down.
Current Standings:
Here are the predicted standings based on strength of schedule, showrates, and roster depth in every league:
Thunder seems almost a lock for the #1 spot, with Power, Blooms, and a late-surging Patouf all vying for the #2 spot and a bye into the Semi-Finals. Stayon's squad may seem like a surprise choice to be in the hunt for second, as they currently stand sixth, but they have the easiest schedule in the league left and talent in both jav and base. I expect WIN OR DIE to drop a spot and finish #5, carried by their warbirds and a good basing line, while Meteorite and Silence will be battling for the final playoff spot at #6. With a better showrate and more balance across all three leagues, I give the edge to Meteorite. In last, is TJ Hazuki's ill, who only have one win through three weeks, and don't expect it to get much better given their brutal finishing schedule.
