Trespass
Tiny (9.5) - Okyo (9) - Banzi (8.5) - Tripin (8) - Lee (7)
Tiny is one of the better javs who fits nicely as a 4th or 5th option in a lineup but now he will need to be a leader. It’ll be interesting to see how he handles the season especially with a 10% show rate. Okyo is definitely an exciting jav and it’s great to see him getting recognition. Over the past two seasons, he’s exceeded expectations and put up some ridiculous numbers. Banzi has often been snake bit in these leagues but with the increased star limits, he should finally benefit as a full time starter (finally). He’s a consistent, high IQ player who can elevate his teammates play. Tripin and Lee aren’t full-time javs...they aren't good but they are not retarded either... both can be serviceable for their big 3.
I have mixed feelings about this lineup. There’s no doubt Okyo is a monster but they seem a bit thin at the 4th and 5th jav spots. Trespess could really benefit if Hulk commits to playing jav this season. Unfortunately, they will struggle against the stronger teams this season.
Score: B-
Subnautica
Turban (10) - Jamal (8.5) - Hellkite (8.5) - Spectacular (8) - Cripple (8)
Turban is one of the most dangerous javs in the game, he can create his own kills and open up space for his teammates to push through. He’s more than capable of carrying but with the support around him, he might not need to drop 16 kills repeatedly for a win. Cripple is once again underrated in ship 2 and should really thrive in a more balanced lineup. If he ever plays 11 hours a day like Aggi, he would be a nightmare to deal with. Jamal and Hellkite are completely different stylistically but they’re my favorite picks from the 8.5 tier. Jamal controls the tempo with a slower pace while Hellkite plays aggressively and hopes you miss your 1v1 shots. Spectacular can be hit or miss but having him as your 5th jav is solid. He’s steady enough to hold his role and is more than capable of getting 8+ kills.
Subnautica is the only team in the league that is completely balanced but there isn't any star power besides Turban. We might see them as one of the better teams due to teaming and playstyle.
Prediction: My Darkhorse team in the playoffs.

Morph (9.5) - Stayon (9.5) - Hercules (8.5) - Skatarius (8.5) - Dare (7)
Stayon should be a 10 star jav and I feel he's going the under the radar. One of the most interesting javs we have in the game, very high IQ and crafty. Morph is always going to be an exciting jav to watch and play with as a teammate but very annoying to play against. He presents a difficult challenge with his aggression and this will fit perfectly in the line he has built. Hercules is the steal of the draft, very fun and creative style that can adapt to any play style. Skatarius is always going to be hit or miss with his show rate, his performances are spotty at best but if you can fit him in your lineup, you won't hesitate.
This is one of my two favorite jav teams out there. Hercules is going to have a monster season, he's my pick to be MVP of the season.
Prediction: Finals

Revenge
Best (9.5) - Commodo (9.5) - Kim (8.5) - Kangal (8) - Menelvagor (7.5)
Revenge's captain was asking players he hadn’t drafted to calculate lineup ratings for him since he was having difficulty during the draft.
Best is known to be a TWDTJ killer and has shown to be active on discord lately but it would be difficult for him to show up every Sunday at 3am. He was picked very high with the intention to lead this team. Commodo is a great and experienced jav who fits the pairing well with Best, very reliable and has shown he can hang on his own. Kim is a decent jav, nothing flashy, very boring player, could fit in any line. Kangal is using his discord's default picture of another guy's body and posting videos of other men lifting weights stating it's him when it's not. Menelvagor is definitely an interesting player, he has shown he can play at a 7.5 level or even 8 sometimes. I don't believe he is a weak link at all.
I am not sure what to think of this team...there will be some activity issues but it's safe to say it will be a competitive team but will face many losses. This is Best's team and they will only go so far with him leading. He will need to have some heroic games or just show up in general.
Prediction - First round exit or misses playoffs.
Score: B-
Cloud
Rough (10) - Mythril (9) - Yeh (9) - Draft (8.5) - Christian10 (6.5)
We still have not seen Rough return back from Cancun in 6 months as rumors have swirled he is the player known as "Striker" (fake news). Mythril was a superstar last season, dominating in games where he had 0 support, now he will get a chance to flourish again with an actual team of javs. Will we see an encore? Yeh has always been a solid and a sneaky jav who is a perfect #2 on a team, of course his lag helps but he has shown in each season he can clutch in big moments. Draft is a solid jav who loves scheduling volleyball on Sundays for whatever reason but has shown glimpses of potential on having big games. Probably the most interesting player and will be the X factor on this team. Christian10 rounds up the final spot where he has shown some flashes in MMR and there seems to be some hidden potential in his jav game.
Cloud has a solid group of javs, expect some hard wins & some hard losses.
Prediction - Championship or bust

Zidane (10) - Vys (9.5) - Spawnisen (8.5) - Jabra (8) - Bad Badger (7)
Zidane came up with a genius plan to have one of the most shittier players in the zone be captain (jew) due to his low star level to get first pick in every round possible. True definition of a try hard.
Zidane is one of the most consistent javs in regular and playoff games which he showed again last season with a terrible team but was very competitive throughout. A top jav who will rarely let a team down or have a bad game. Vys has returned after a year ban and is going into this season with a clear mindset. It wasn't too long ago where he made a big splash in the playoffs of a TWLJ season where he was the playoff MVP.. it was indeed a crazy unexpected run. Spawnisen had a very a good sneaky last season and performed very well, I can see him finishing in the top 10 and is probably closer to a 9 star rating. Jabra does not play often but he definitely plays more like a 8.5 and we all have seen his unexpected shots & moves. He is one of the better 8 star javs we have this season and should fit well in this line. Bad Badger has returned to the game after having a meltdown and will decide to play a season with Zid who actually gives people a meltdown. Regardless, seems like an ok player that plays super safe and bullets repeatedly for his team.
This is going to be a great slow pace team that will counter and punish your mistakes.
Prediction - Will shock a team in the playoffs

Dreamwin (10) - Maketso (9.5) - Ro (9) - HellzNo! (8.5) - CZ530 (6)
Dreamwin has improved each season and does not appear to be slowing down. He just came off a championship win and it's been long overdue as he completely deserves it after so many heartbreaking runner ups. Maketso is starting to become a great consistent jav compared to his past seasons and seems to thrive with his countryman, maybe this is what he needed after all. Ro has decided to come back after a long layoff so we really do not know what to expect from him but I am sure by playoff time, he will outperform his rating. Hellzno! has racked up so many MMR games that it's clear he is a solid jav, he will become the X factor in this line. CZ530 is a wildcard...has some decent games then some really bad games.
Dreamwin and Maketso are going to have that championship high where it will not be replicated this time around.
Prediction - First round exit or misses playoffs.

Bombed (9.5) - Havok (9.5) - Racka (9) - Dwopple (8) - Bick (7)
Bombed is a killer, you know you are going to get 10+ kills from him each game and will have a big impact on this team. He may not have any titles in the league but he's still a top jav in the zone. Havok decided one day that he was going to come back to this game and his first season back, he won the jav title last season. He played a big role in their championship run and seems to be at top level heading into this season. I asked Havok on his first title but he went on a 30 minute rant about plastic straws polluting the ocean. Racka did not deserve the bump down in rating as he one of the good consistent javs we have in the zone. His warbird definitely overshadows his jav game but this should be a fun season as this will be the best jav team Racka has been on in a TWDTJ league. Dwopple has always been a sub par jav, he should practice more especially with the jav talent he is surrounded with. One of those players that could break a team by dying out early but he isn't bad. Bick is an SVS player who played his first league last season in TW and had some ups & downs. I think he learned a lot and if he practiced in the off season, his value at 7 is broken.
And this is my other favorite team, I am expecting some growing pains in the beginning but this team will thrive and get red hot heading into the playoffs.
Prediction - Finals
Score: A+
Overall, I feel every team will be competitive in this league. We should expect one sleeper team to emerge, one team to completely quit, at least 3 players having meltdowns, and one player forcing a trade out of their team.
