TWDTJ - who had the best draft?
Just a few more days and our autumn TWDT season is officially starting. Our caps have made the picks, time to check who made the best choices (by order of draft). Here is how jav teams are looking:
Stray (9/10)
Similar to wb, zapata has also selected team, which can be fielded without any players below 8*. Big questionmark is about his 8th round pick roiwerk (9*), who is actually second highest rated player on team. But looking at the roster, it is going to be difficult to play him.
commodo 9.5
hellzno! 8.5
rasaq 8
spectacular 8
banzi 8
Only real alternative option is to play roiwerk is to use him instead of hellz, as there are no 7* players on team, who could be used, if roi played instead of 8* player. But there are several decent options at 7.5 (sarger, ravage, jessup), if hellz cannot show. We may even have a chance to see roi and jessup on same freq. Other than that, its a solid and pretty aggressive team.
Terrorist (9/10)
Terrorist looks like one of those teams that have that always risky 6.5* player in. This can go either way, but rest of the team looks really solid
dreamwin 10
lockdown/uprise 8.5
hurricane 9
zizzo 8
unlimited/FT/cig smoke 6.5
It is looking likely that dw wants to play with his first draft picks, so that lineup is pretty realistic. Unlimited is pretty good at staying alive, so this could turn out to be pretty strong team, but both Cig and FT are also viable options. Not many options on bench apart from violence at 7.5. Terrorist top 4 is really solid, i believe if they dont get screwed by showups, their chances of progressing are high.
Power (9/10)
Power looks also strong on paper, similar to wb, there are gazillion of possibilities to setup lineups, each offering a bit different approach. Zid/skat and iron will definitely form the backbone of the team, but rest of it is wide open.
zidane 10
iron survivor 8.5
zizu 8
skatarius 8.5
raazi/brethal/lee 7
There is also wildcard waiting to show called draft (9*). If draft shows, can we witness some crazy lineup including 6* player (dad, cz530 and snip3 being available), while draft replacing zizu? Also 8 and 7* players can be replaced by 2 7.5* players in beam and jack.
Bunnies (9/10)
Another really interesting lineup including current highest rated jav player in mmr Rough. Spartan has plenty of options on roster, his main issue seems to be finding out what exactly is the best working combination
rough 10
aprix 8.5
autopilot/paradise 8.5
hulk 8.5
groan/pawner 6.5
Bunnies have 4 strong 8.5* javs, but yea, if rough plays, only 3 of them can join him and in that case, they need to add a low star (not many options there). There is also possibility of spartan playing (8*) so that low star can be replaced by mvp (7*). In either way, this is another really strong team with every possibility of making it.
Pure Luck (7/10)
Tiny likewise has very strong core, but his issues are more severe compared to some other captains. With yeh, himself and hellkite probably locked in roster, there are limited options for rest.
tiny 9.5
hellkite/creature/ardour 8.5
yeh 9
dwopple 8
refer 7
So in a nutshell, Tiny has really no options to play his highest rated players (unless taking big risks with a need to play y0gi as low vp). His best bet maybe not using dwop, but 2 7.5* players (siaxis and omega red) as last 2. So difficult choices, maybe some trading can help.
Ethereal (6/10)
Ekkos team is looking weaker compared to others. At this stage he is not even able to max out his 42 limit. Taking considerating vys not focusing on this league, they may be in deep trouble
vys 9.5
cape 9
jz 8
banks 7.5
ekko/wbm/rojo 7.5
In order for this to work, vys has to show every week, otherwise the freq will be capped at around 40.5 max. I can see some issues already coming from this team.
Prime (8/10)
Racka decided that he is in love with 8* players (probably realizing anyone below that is complete shit based on mmr games). So he drafted 5 of them. Most likely we will see 4 of them in game together with Racka himself, with also 1 bench option available.
Racka 10
cripple 8
renzi 8
riverside 8
beast/crazy canockout 8
Looking at the names though, this looks like to be sort of explosive team with mood influencing alot. There is also question what will happen if spawnisen (8.5) wants to play. As below 8* the best bet is probably 7* joe and spookedone and delectable. Surely, on a good day, this team can be nuissance, but I have a feeling it may not be smooth sailing all the way for Prime this jav season.
Cloud (9/10)
Mythril has similar problem of having perhaps too many high star players, so someone has to bench. Looking at different options, it could be absurd (8*).
mythril 9
mikkiz 8.5
stayon 9.5
geio 8.5
rylo 6.5
Now this is actually pretty solid team, but purely depends on rylo showing (if he does not show, there are only random 6* available). If rylo cannot show, there are options of using 7.5* players like tpz/paky dude/coupe to play.
Stray (9/10)
