Blast – (Top 5)
Starters/ Racka, Turban, JBINC, Spectacular, Omega Red
Pros/ Racka
Cons/ Lack of depth
Key to victory/ Help Racka push and hope he gets on fire.
There are two standouts in this squad, Racka and Turban. Racka is one of the few “game changers” left in subspace and when paired with a good supporting cast, he will shine. Turban has been a solid teammate as he shown it in TWDT, where he is ranked #18 overall and winning 42 out of 62 rounds paired with a 1.26 KD. But after these two, things start to get shaky.
The rest of the wb’s haven’t shown much, combined they have a KD of .66 and a win rate of 25%. Contrary to Heavens review, I don’t think Omega Red will be the MVP. If anyone needs to be the MVP for this team other than Racka and Turban, I would have my eyes on J-B-Inc.
Bottom line/ one of the 7.5* and below wb’s will have to step up.
Morph – (Top 5)
Starters/ Saiyan, Rojo, Ro, Bigking, Danslams or Warrior
Pros/ Seasoned vets
Cons/ Could get toxic quick
Key to victory/ Stay calm and team up
Lobsters? Lobster’s hunt and feed on prey. While heaven might not expect much out of this team I think otherwise. Saiyan can go toe to toe with any warbird in the game and if his squad mates can stay alive and team well – this team could go far. Saiyan has a lot of work to do though, because the rest of these starters are not known for great teamwork and have been streaky. If Saiyan can stay positive in chat and not implode on his teammates, it’s possible to see this team fighting for the championship.
Bottom line/ This team has a higher combined K/D when compared to blast, but lack of consistency might be the Achilles heel.
Power – (Top 5)
Starters/ Vys, Banzi, aagi, Legacy, Mongrel or Zidane
Pros/ Big depth
Cons/ Not active
Key to victory/ Being active and teamwork
The self-proclaimed GOAT VYS will have to put up some good numbers for his team to be effective against other top tier's. Banzi is always a solid choice as he showed that in last years TWDT. Overall Banzi has a 67% win rate and a 1.14 KD, more than enough to support vys.
Heaven thinks Peru is the key for this team, but Peru hasn’t been active in sometime. In my opinion its going to fall on the hands of the two 6.5 stars - Legacy and Spirit. Whoever plays they will need to show up and stay alive long enough for the rest of the squad to get things going. Both haven’t played much time in WB as of late, so this is a big wild card.
Bottom Line/ There are a lot of unknowns, will Aagi be able to hang with the top warbirds? Will Mongrel or Peru show up? 6.5* MVP? Zidane the WB?
Hottub Homeboys
Starters/ Renzi, Stayton, Iron, Ravage, Dare or Paradise
Pros/ Good team vibes
Cons/ Lack of lower stars
Key to victory/ Picking the right starters
Hot Tub boys have an issue, do you play creature with Vehicle, or do you play with two 8*’s? I chose Renzi and Stayton, solely on the reasoning that Vehicle will get ran over quicker than creature will be able to get kills. Iron Survivor and his lag should be able to pick up any kills with Creature missing from the lineup, considering Iron has the 2nd highest KPM and the most MVPs in WB TWDT. Renzi and Stayton have decent stats with both almost at 1.0 k/d.
The dark horse of TWDT could be Ravage, while he might be hit and miss, Ravage has been known to out rush mediocre warbirds. His rush is hard for newer warbirds to handle, and this could be something to keep an eye on.
Bottom line/ Picking the right lineup will be extremely important, also which Ravage will show up? 5 minute out Ravage or 18 kill Ravage?
Thunder – (Bottom 5)
Starters/ Ease, Geio, Ogron, Dwopple, Beast
Pros/ Dwopple has a stream
Cons/ Shaky low stars
Key to victory/ Teamwork
Ease and Geio are extremely solid warbirds, with great stats in TWDT-D, but I don't know if their passive style will be enough. Ogron and Dwopple have decent stats but will need to set up their game, otherwise Thunder won't be very competitive. In my opinion the success in this team will lie in the lower star warbirds. Lastly Beast’s .51 KD and .38 KPM could be a big factor, I would look to With Ease to take him under his wing and hope for the best.
Bottom line/ Anytime you're on a team with Ease there is always a chance of winning.
Kobe – (RIP)(Top 5)
Starters/ Best, Tripin, Hellrazor, Siaxis, Joeses
Pros/ The pressure will break most
Cons/ Will best be drunk?
Key to victory/ Stay alive and let Best do his thing
This lineup would make the black mamba proud, Best in arguably one of the best rushers this game has ever seen. His ability to change the momentum of a match is undeniable. I’m not a fan boy, just look at the stats- 2nd Highest KPM, 1.38 KD and 18 MVPs in TWDT-D. Now you add Tripin and Siaxis to the mix you have a deadly team. While stats don’t mean everything, this team does have the best combined stats overall. If they all can work together you could be looking at the champs.
Bottom line/ Joeses stays alive, they win.
Paddington – (bottom 5)
Starters/ Tiny, Pineapple, Beam, Ardour, Star Fox
Pros/ All arounders
Cons/ No standouts
Key to victory/ Work as a team to topple the giants
This team is full of 8 star’ish warbirds, with no one standing out in the pack. The starters have an average of 1 KD and a decent win rate. I imagine they will be looking to Beam for an outstanding performance, but I’m not sure they have the fire power to win much. Ardour is under rated and if not taken seriously could surprise a lot of people. Same can be said for Pineappple, pine has decent mid range and is able to stay alive and keep fighting till the end. The biggest issue is the lack of pressure from this team, most will stay R2 and R3 and that could be a problem when facing the top tier teams.
Bottom line/ Look for Paddington to put up a fight, but I don’t seem them taking the crown
Powerful Fingerman – (middle somewhere)
Starters/ Violence, Flew, Bacon, Props, Roiwerk
Pros/ Fingermen
Cons/ Fingermen
Key to victory/ Hitting shots and a tad of luck
Similar to Paddington, there are no big standouts. That being said the starters are all decent, Props is a steal 8 star and if he shows up and performs it could be a game changer for this team. Bacon and Flew are both solid performers and should do most the heavy lifting. If Props, Flew and Bacon can get things going with decent pressure, they might just be able to carry Violence to a few victories.
Bottom line/ The biggest question is if this team will be able to handle the pressure and be able to apply their own pressure.
Funk – (middle somewhere)
Starters/ Lockdown, Attacks, Commondo, Jack, lee
Pros/ All decent
Cons/ Inactive
Key to victory/ Support Lockdown and being active
Lockdown has been very solid and has the stats to back it up - the squad will need to support Lockdown and look to him to take charge. Attacks and Jack both are not active, but when playing well both can hang with any warbird in the game. I would look to Lockdown and Jack applying the pressure, so Attacks and the rest can help with push. This combo could do quite well and possibly go toe to toe with the top tier teams. Lee and Commondo are the wild cards, Lee hasn’t performed well in past TWDT-D, with a win rate of 20% and a .5 k/d and Commondo only has 6 total rounds played.
Bottom line/ This team boils down to if Attacks and Jack get active, stay in shape through the tournament and perform.
Terrorist- (Bottom 5)
Starters/ Bike, Dreamwin, Rasaq, Monkee, Banks
Pros/ Positive Attitude
Cons/ Lack of depth
Key to victory/ Team work
Again, another team with no standout warbirds though most of the team has decent stats. Bike most likely will be the key to making something happen as he is the best warbird on the squad. If Monkee and Rasaq play well, we could have a contender, but I have a feeling they will get ran over when too much pressure is applied. I’ll be rooting for this team though, always love a good underdog story.
Bottom Line/ Not enough depth but could fair well versus most teams.

Pros/ Racka
Cons/ Lack of depth
