  • Promise Cup 2026 - Draft Review

    LowTierGods

    Projected Starting Lineup


    Terrier
    • Dreamwin (10)
    Sharks
    • Zidane (10)
    • Joeses (9.5)
    Spiders
    • Cripple (10)
    • okyo (9.5)
    • BOMBED (9.5)
    • Rough (9)
    • M_M God (9)
    Key Depth

    Markmrw (9), Source (8.5), Cig Smoke (8.5), Racka (8), Dak (8), oderus urungus (8.5)

    Analysis

    LowTierGods possess one of the most balanced and complete lineups in the league. Every position is occupied by a player capable of performing at an elite level, creating very few weaknesses for opponents to exploit.

    The foundation begins with Dreamwin in terr, supported by what may be the strongest shark pairing available. Zidane and Joeses combine elite ratings with the ability to dictate the pace of engagements and create opportunities for their spiders.

    The spider unit is exceptionally dangerous. Cripple, okyo, and BOMBED provide star power and carry potential, while Rough and M_M God complete the lineup without sacrificing quality. There are no obvious weak targets within the formation.

    What truly separates LowTierGods is depth. Markmrw, Source, and Cig Smoke give the roster multiple players who can step into starting roles immediately without dramatically lowering the team's overall level.

    On paper the AI thinks this team is best, but Dreamwin likely won't be showing, and BOMBED also said he was injured. I'm not sure Zidane and okyo are gonna make it either, so realistically this team will have either Siaxis or X-Demo in terr with JOESES and Markmrw (reigning TWLB shark pair) and a slightly weaker spider line than projected. If they get lucky with a last minute terr sign up that gets randomly assigned to their team and who shows like maybe Heaven or Zizu, they could easily take it.

    Strengths
    • Elite support core.
    • Outstanding spider depth.
    • Strong bench options.
    • Excellent balance between offense and defense.
    Potential Concerns
    • Managing a deep roster with many starting-caliber players.
    • Maintaining consistency across a long season.
    Overall Outlook

    A championship-caliber roster built around elite talent at every position.
    Outlaw

    Projected Starting Lineup

    Terrier
    • Ogron (10)
    Sharks
    • Commodo (9.5)
    • animeboy12 (9)
    Alternative:
    • Commodo (9.5)
    • MVP (9)
    Spiders
    • Ease (10)
    • Sword (10)
    • Skatarius (10)
    • Stayon (10)
    • Frozen Throne (9.5)
    Key Depth

    bacon (9.5), Ro (9.5), Hellkite (9.5), Poseidon (9), Groan (8.5)

    Analysis

    Outlaw's identity revolves around overwhelming offensive pressure from an extraordinary spider lineup.

    Ease, Sword, Skatarius, and Stayon form a core that few teams can match. Each player has the ability to control games individually, and together they create constant pressure that forces opponents into mistakes.any
    Ogron provides stability in terr while Commodo anchors the support line from shark. The second shark slot remains flexible depending on availability and matchup considerations.

    The roster's depth is another major strength. Players such as bacon, Ro, and Hellkite could start on most teams, ensuring that Outlaw remains competitive even when adjustments are required.

    If the full spider line up shows, this cup could be a wrap, strongest spider line on paper and there is a chance they'll all make it. Ogron said he would show but be playing from Asia so if his lag isn't working out, they better hope Stayon logs on to take over that terr spot because I don't see any more terr depth beyond that, maybe Sword, but he's worth so much more in spider.

    Strengths
    • Best pure spider lineup in the league.
    • Exceptional top-end talent.
    • Strong high-end depth.
    • Capable of dominating games through offensive pressure.
    Potential Concerns
    • Slightly less dominant support structure than some competitors.
    • Relies heavily on spider performance to maximize advantages.
    Overall Outlook

    A title contender with perhaps the highest ceiling in the league.
    Sauced Vultures

    Configuration A: Ekko Terrier

    Projected Starting Lineup

    Terrier
    • Ekko (9)
    Sharks
    • JAMAL (10)
    • Dwopple (9.5)
    Spiders
    • Turban (10)
    • Rainbow Seeker (9.5)
    • Mouse (9)
    • Banks (9)
    • Jack (9)
    Key Depth

    Ph (9), morph (9), Henry Saari (8.5), TPZ (8.5), Rasaq (8.5)

    Analysis

    This configuration emphasizes stability and balance. Ekko provides a dependable presence in terr while Turban remains available to lead an extremely strong spider lineup.

    The JAMAL–Dwopple pairing is among the best shark duos in the league. Both players can influence games through positioning, survivability, and support, giving Sauced a strong foundation from which to operate.

    The spider line is consistent across all five positions. Turban and Rainbow Seeker provide elite-level impact while Mouse, Banks, and Jack create a reliable supporting cast.

    On paper this team looks pretty incredible but theres a good chance Turban will be in HZ and Rainbow Seeker has been MIA for a minute, so the spider line will more likely be Mouse, Banks, Jack, TPZ, Rasaq/Henry Saari. If Turban and Rainbow Seeker show, this team has a great shot at winning the cup.

    Strengths
    • Elite shark pairing.
    • Consistent spider production.
    • Strong lineup balance.
    • Quality depth.
    Potential Concerns
    • Slightly less explosive than the very strongest spider units.
    • More dependent on coordinated team play than individual takeovers.

    Configuration B: Turban Terrier

    Projected Starting Lineup

    Terrier
    • Turban (9)
    Sharks
    • JAMAL (10)
    • Dwopple (9.5)
    Spiders
    • Rainbow Seeker (9.5)
    • Mouse (9)
    • Banks (9)
    • Jack (9)
    • Ekko (9)
    Analysis

    This version raises the team's overall ceiling by shifting one of its strongest players into terr while maintaining a highly competitive spider line.

    Turban's impact in terr has the potential to elevate the entire lineup, while Ekko transitions naturally into the spider rotation. The result is a team with elite support ships and a balanced offensive core.

    Against stronger opponents, this setup may offer greater strategic value by maximizing influence in the most important ship on the field.

    Strengths
    • Elite terr and shark combination.
    • Strong playoff upside.
    • Balanced offensive structure.
    Potential Concerns
    • Increased reliance on Turban's terr performance.
    • Slightly less top-end spider firepower.
    Overall Outlook

    A dangerous roster capable of challenging any team when operating at full strength.
    Trespass

    Configuration A: Absurd Terrier

    Projected Starting Lineup

    Terrier
    • Absurd (10)
    Sharks
    • Hulk (10)
    • WillBy (9)
    Spiders
    • Renzi (10)
    • Mythril (9.5)
    • Ra (9)
    • GenX (9)
    • tj hazuki (8.5)
    Key Depth

    Vys (8.5), omega red (8.5), best (8.5), zizzo (8.5), draft (8.5), Banzi (8.5), Maketso (8.5)

    Analysis

    Trespass combines strong support ships with excellent roster depth.

    Absurd provides stability in terr while Hulk and WillBy form a reliable shark tandem capable of handling difficult matchups. Renzi and Mythril headline the spider unit and give the team enough offensive power to compete with any roster.

    One of Trespass's biggest advantages is consistency. There are few dramatic drop-offs throughout the lineup, and the bench provides numerous capable replacements.

    I'm not sure Mythril or Ra are gonna show, GenX has a 25% to show, this team could sweep if everyone shows for them and other teams have showrate issues. If Zizzo, Draft, GenX or Maketso show up they could put absurd in spider and have a sick line.

    Strengths
    • Excellent roster depth.
    • Reliable support ships.
    • Balanced lineup construction.
    • Strong team-wide consistency.
    Potential Concerns
    • Slightly less star power than the very top teams.
    • Heavy reliance on Renzi and Mythril for offensive leadership.

    Configuration B: GenX Terrier

    Projected Starting Lineup

    Terrier
    • GenX (9)
    Sharks
    • Hulk (10)
    • WillBy (9)
    Spiders
    • Absurd (10)
    • Renzi (10)
    • Mythril (9.5)
    • Ra (9)
    • tj hazuki (8.5)
    Analysis

    This setup prioritizes offensive firepower.

    Moving Absurd into spider creates a highly dangerous core alongside Renzi and Mythril. The lineup becomes more aggressive and gains additional scoring potential without sacrificing support quality.

    The tradeoff comes from placing greater responsibility on GenX in terr, making consistency at that position especially important.

    Strengths
    • Elite spider trio.
    • High offensive ceiling.
    • Strong shark support.
    Potential Concerns
    • More variance in performance.
    • Increased pressure on the terr position.
    Overall Outlook

    A flexible roster with multiple viable approaches depending on matchup and personnel.

    LowTierGods is already confirming players who will show on Sunday and things are going to get very spicy. The computer didn't take into account my debut at Lancaster for this tournament which should propel us to the SSS elite tier of all-time squads.
