Pre-Season Week 2 TWLD Predictions

[Neo Anderson]

TWLD

British Squad - Avalonian
Interesting match. British squad has prooved to be able to play well in twd, while avalonian kind of sneaked in without impressing much. I predict this match to be close, but in the favour of Avalonian. I would have voted British Squad a few weeks ago, but Avalonian seems to be stronger now than some time ago and British Squad seems to be relying on a few people, who have recently lost a few ez dd's. My guess goes to Avalonian.

Ancients - -Final-
I respect both squads and it surprises me how Ancients have grown much the last few weeks in warbirds. Maybe there were a bit of not-caring in the beginning, but they seem to have picked it up and winning a few good squads. I expect this to be closer than first expected, but -Final- taking this eventually, with the awesome Sika and Domi owning the last ancients up. Sika didnt impress last week, but I am sure he will show us something else this time.

Disoblige - Verone
There aint much to say about this match, except that Disoblige will take this one without much problems. Verone is improving though, but its not enough to stand a chance vs Disoblige.

Dragonguard - Sk8
Another interesting match. Dragonguard is much better than last season, but they are kinda falling back a bit lately. Therefore my prediction goes to Sk8. Sk8 however somehow allways disappoints me. They allways carry a lot of good players on their roster, but somehow they never seem to get it turned into a killing machine. Hopefully they can pick it up before season starts, with this match as a good start.

Pallies - Grapevine
At this moment i have no idea on who to predict yet. Both squads are quite good, except that Pallies have more depth than Grapevine. However, Grapevine is on a roll lately, while Pallies have been losing more matches. I will go here for the most oiled team atm, which is Grapevine. I expect Pallies to be a strong competitor this twl though.

Pirates - Syndicate
This match will be controlled by Syndicate, which has more good wbs than Pirates. It is said by Awesome that Pirates can get real far this twld, but I have my doubts. I guess Pirates doesnt have enough killers and most wbs arent performing on a high level consistently. Syndicate has been inactive for some time, at least not playing much matches, but qualifying wasnt a problem. Last week they prooved that they can remove the dust from the wbskills and I bet they will do the same thing again this weekend. Syndicate will have this.

Rapid - Melee
Rapid will win this match basically because Melee doesnt have a good team that can compete on a high level. Chewy! alone cant take them all if he shows up and Rapid simply has more wbs that can compete on a decent level. Rapid will take this.

Shriek - Egyptian
It seems that most people predict that Shriek will take this match. Because Egyptian is my squad I wont pick a squad now which I think will win, but I can say that this match will be closer than a lot of people expect. Last week Shriek won Dragonguard, but had a false start. Dragonguard lost it during the middle of the match and shriek was able to step it up, resulting in a victory. If Egyptian brings a good team that will stick together and dont choke like last week they might be able to take this. I predict that whoever takes the first 5 minutes wins the match.

[Predator Rulez]

I sure hope we do...

[Luckily Yours]

sry, grapevine has twice the depth pallies has.

[Due]

sry, grapevine has twice the depth pallies has.

LOL??

Pallies will win from gv. (if pallies don't joke with the pre-season )

[Cig Smoke]

We also didnt have all our top pilots last week vs Dragonguard. IM sorta hoping jack gets active soon.

[Awesome]

after last weeks bs i really dont care who plays or who wins these pre-season games... it's just bot testing

[King Baba]

If you look at GV's wbs, even our 2nd string wbs are capable of being starters. If that's not depth, than what is? God damn nay-sayers. Don't underestimate the 'vines.

[Divine Rides]

you're gonna get a look at our depth this weekend, i think 1 of our top 5 will be at the duel, and i'm not sure who of 6-10 will be there. I don't think you can say that grapevine has more depth though, I think we're clearly the deepest squad in both base and duel, we could field two succesful teams in either (if attendance was automatic)-- should be a good game though, i'm not sure i was ever apart of a winning twdd vs. grapevine, let that be a reflection on me though- and the shitheads i was likely playing with.

[Cig Smoke]

Ya i agree awesome. This pre-season is for bot testing and bot testing only Sure some games mean a little much liek last weeks TWLB (diso v pallies) and TWLJ Shriek vs Synd, but overall its just bot testing and lineup testing for squads.

As for depth in pallies/GV. both have very good depth in every league.

[Bob (SRB)]

I think Pallies are overrated. Grapevine obviously has more depth in wbs simply because grapevine is almost a purely wb/some jav squad. Pallies has a couple extremely good wbs, then it kind of cuts off there. Maybe because they had to make room for their good javs, good basers, and the occasional horrible player whos been on the squad forever (I just noticed pallies has 37 members on their roster atm). Come the weekend, I'm sure grapevine will have a very good line to show, even if they don't have all starters, (as baba said) a line composed of secondary people is still very good. And pallies probably wont care, and end up playing only like 2 starters.

Mind you, I still think if GV best line played pallies' best line, I bet GV could probably pull off a close win anyways.

[Cig Smoke]

U cant really say that when Pallies have Blood and Vihta 2 of the best wbs last season + Mattey who this season will probably be top 5 wb matterial.


As for ur predictions i think they are all very good (wins/loss wise) except BS and avalonian is close one. As for melee they put up a good fight last week vs Diso but i dobut they'll win. I think if shriek's top line came we'll win if not it mite be very close. but i do have good feelings about egyptian, much like las season.

TWLD Preseason Week 2 Predictions

TWLD

Pallies vs. Grapevine - Tough matchup here, I dare say it’s the game of the week in wbs. Pallies, a classic case of an overrated squad, from the way im seeing it they have 4 good wbs and a bunch of other solid ones, but they aren’t that good. After Mattey Vihta Blood and HELLZNO! Their quality drops considerably if you ask me, plus they totally seem not to care about preseason. Grapevine on the other hand has more that a 5 starting line, they have depth and have players that play the same style mostly, they are very organized and have good teaming, they stomped Sk8 first round of preseason, that says something. Winner to be Grapevine.

Ideal lineups: Vihta, Blood, Mattey, HELLZNO!, Sleepy Weasel vs Randedl, Mega Newbie, Weaver, Mythril, Anon
MVP: Mega Newbie
LVP: Mattey

British Squad vs. Avalonian - Hah, another decent matchup levelled by below average skills tho, this will be rather interesting to watch, British Squad has been tooting their horns and telling everyone how they are so good this season, so if they want to prove anything this is where to start, beat Avalonian and you can talk a little after, but when you went 0-10 in the last season, you cant talk shit till you win a game. As for Avalonian [IRONY] they have Deluge so they must be good[/IRONY]. Avalonian beat Verone in preseason and I came to realize that Verone is actually pretty good, so im going with Avalonian here.

Ideal lineups: acidmouse, demonic, attacks, sol^, Castle vs Deluge, DeMoNoFdArKnEsS, pascone, Caos, GeN
MVP: Deluge
LVP: acidmouse

Pirates vs. Syndicate - This might actually turn out to be a good game, but most likely it wont and Syndicate will beat the shit out of Pirates. Syndicate has got the best wb line of the league, most of them are choke prone, but that will only take Pirates so far. I predict the only thing Pirates will do of this is show up. Syndicate is just too good, although Pirates will pull an upset during the season, not vs this squad tho. Winner to be Syndicate.

Ideal lineups: DeeZ NutS, fireballz, Ripper, demonfaze, Escalate vs Hercules, nope, Lews Therin, postzegel, Froedrick
MVP: Escalate
LVP: postzegel

Disoblige vs. Verone - My new own squad, and I will predict it regardless. In all honesty, this will be a close game, Verone has improved a lot, I actually think they are quite good, they will pull some upsets this season to those that wont see them coming. Diso on the other hand has been playing really solidly, Displaced is a beast with a 15-2 in first round of preseason, look for him to drop the ownage on Verone. And watch Unexpected, that guy eats like there is no tomorrow. Good Luck Verone, but I predict Disoblige.

Ideal lineups: SURPRISE vs tyflyias, Unexpected, Stasua, Primordial, NRG
MVP: Displaced
LVP: NRG

Ancients vs. –FINAL- - Hmm, a no brainer here, Ancients are inactive as hell and I have nothing to say about them and they don’t deserve me saying anything either, they just aren’t caring, id rather have mysticalz in league, at least they would try. Ancients are a total nonfactor this league. –FINAL- will drive all over them with ease, they have Raspi the best wb in TW, so that makes them no. 2 contender for TWLD title after Syndicate. I predict -FINAL to drop the ownage quickly and easily. Ancients are trash.

Ideal lineups: Pakastin, Utopia, Sweeper, Malador, Riksa vs Raspi, Poozzman, Sika, death row, DUMBRIT!
MVP: DUMBRIT!
LVP: Utopia

Shriek vs. Egyptian - Egyptian has a couple of good players in Zapata and Nasir, I doubt it will be enough to hold Shriek off but it will keep them close enough for an upset. Shriek has the same crazy suicidal lagrush in wbs that they have in javs, but not as deadly and often choke prone. They just rush, hope to eat, and kill you if it happens. That will probably be just enough to beat Egyptian, I don’t see Shriek as a top wb squad this season tho. I find Sk8 much more powerful than them actually. Winner here is Shriek.

Ideal lineups: Mess, a2m, Vigilanty, Junka, Veri vs Nasir, Zapata, Cross, Unrealistic, Vacate
MVP: Junka
LVP: Cross

Sk8 vs. Dragonguard - Another tough matchup for Sk8 in preseason, imho the 2 best midtier teams right here, Sk8 is the usual disappointment in wbs lets hope they change it this season. Dragonguard will be the surprise team I think, they have a good group of underrated players that might pull big upsets in a 1 round league, regardless of what everyone may think, in my opinion they are a lot more than Metalkid, they can even do good without him. This is gonna be close no matter what, unless Sk8 has one of those games they pull like 1 every season and totally crush the opponents. Winner to be Dragonguard.

Ideal lineups: Ease, monkee, Mikena, Mysterious, Abyss vs TNTkilla, g2 kick u, bike, Metalkid, Janitor
MVP: bike
LVP: monkee

Rapid vs. Melee - This is one matchup not worth predicting, I predict Melee will lose every wb game this season for they lack any real player in this ship, but upsets might happen and I think they are capable of upsetting squads like ancients or avalonian, but not Rapid. Rapid is too eager to win anything and wont let just some squad go in there and take it from them. I predict Rapid to win.

Ideal lineups: Carbon, Crystal, Sphinktor, Violence, Ravage vs POiD, recon marine, Maisoul, Jebu, iLDuce
MVP: Crystal
LVP: iLDuce

[wadi]

We're getting a little cluttered here.

Merged with the other TWLD prediction thread for this week

[TajaUk]

Lucky Yours, please get your facts right before you talk shit, we didnt go 0-10 last season. We dont go "tooting their horns and telling everyone how they are so good this season". Infact we have never said we will be world beaters in any posts. Stop making up shit becasue your a lazy cunt predictor.

Yay i am your LVP. suprise suprise..
