Maybe a bit early. But oh well. I dont feel like investigate if some results are technically possible, since the finals might be different than from what I think they will be so, I will just rank the squads in order of strength.
----------------------------- 1 and 2--------------------------------
1. -FINAL- : Final has an overall good roster and has the possibility to take control over TWLD, only threat to Final might be Venom and rusty teamwork. If all pilots are undusted and care for winning it will be hard to stop them. I think -f- has quite some depth and it all depends on who shows up, who is in good shape etc. Last pickups: Jargha, Colonel.
Startingline: Sika, Death Row, Destroy, Dumbrit!, Poozzman ( Domi / Reaver / Junka / Na$ / Aprix / Blood / Foxy / Guru^ / VenomArse / Colonel)
Player of the season : Sika
2. Venom : Venom has a pretty good roster also, but it feels like some of their starting players are bit inactive or not playing much. But even without those pilots they got some more good pilots and are capable of winning the twld title. Their only threat is final and it will be interesting to see what the outcome will be when those squads playeachother. Hmm Mattey wont play this TWL.
Startingline : Fieryfire, Stripes, Jeraden, Randedl, Weaver ( Escalate / Deck / Plob#F / 2Dragons / Deez Nuts / Code / Rockman)
Player of the season : Randedl
----------------------------- 3 t'm 8--------------------------------
3. Sk8 : Maybe a bit surprising to see Sk8 ending so high, but SK8 has a roster with some depth. If they start to care in TWL they can get really far. A lot of other squads might have a few pilots that are better than the average player of Sk8, but besides those 'big shots' they seem to lack depth so one or two people not showing up might result in a bad performance. Sk8 has the possibility to replace a lot of pilots with 'bench people' who are capable of doing at least decent. But start caring ffs.
Startingline : Ease <ER>, Killlermech, Download, Mysterious, Downdraft ( Predator Rulez / Distract / Horny Elf / Skeleton / High Templar / Desire / Jones / Collusion)
Player of the season : Ease <ER>
4. Dragon : A new squad which has some good pilots and they got potential to get far, but not till the end. They are number 1 in dd atm, but I think they are of a lower category than -f-, venom. Nonetheless its a good and stable squad and if they can stay alive after TWL they might aim higher next season. But laglimits might be a problem for them since a few of them really lag bad haha.
Startingline : Roi, Connection, Jester, Janitor , Luke* ( Dr. Octagon / Shiran / Malador / Cross / Confluence / Fantus / Ghoul / Ripper )
Player of the season : Jester
5. Pirates : Pirates has some good wbplayers, but I think they lack the depth to get into the semi finals at least. What else can I say about this squad ? Well compared to last season I think they lost a few pilots that gave them some depth and now they will depend on a few I think. So if they are all active they might get far, but I dont see them reaching finals. Some inactive members have returned which adds some more depth to their line.
Startingline : Hercules, Vigilanty, Nikolai, Nimrook, Swimkid ( Tuxxer / Lockdown / Blang / Evoce / Eric is God / Punnani / Postzegel
Kid Kaos / Zapata )
Player of the season : Nikolai
6. Disoblige : Disoblige... I think last year was a year with mixed emotions for Disoblige. After a failed merge in which, as it seemed to me, they had put their hope in for a better future, they were thrown back to Disoblige. But I think they lost something of the old Disoblige in the favour of a new fresh start. They may seem a bit rusty at moment, losing silly matches, but I think they will be surprisingly better this season. I have faith in that. EDIT: they picked up Deprecate, not a bad pick.
Startingline: Bram, Cumulonimbus, Philos, Desperate, Deprecate ( Da1andonly / Displaced / Aim2kill / Gurumeditation / Decypha / Power of Love)
Player of the season : Cumulonimbus
7. Ancients : I never understood whats up with the trashtalk during matches of Ancients, but despite of that they got a pretty decent squad with much loyalty. They seem to get a bit better every season and I think they will reach playoffs again. I dont have the feeling their roster is much different compared to last season startlinewise, so they can do pretty well.
Startingline: Sweeper, Pakastin, Dea, Dreamfly, Riksa ( Lanc -> / Dzar / Nokkonen / Necce / Kokkeliskikkelis / Seal / Soppakauha / Tail Dancer )
Player of the season : Pakastin
8. Simulate : A newer squad which is based on activity and lots of practising. They got the possibility to reach playoffs I think, but it will depend also on if the two israelian friends will show up for each match. Without those two it will be much different and much more difficult.
Startlingline : G2 / Tntkilla / Brokenfist / RZA / Elbryan ( Anduril. / Sexy Wooden Spoon / Tigers / Doag / Amphere / Ground Zero / Speak / Unexpected)
Player of the season : Tntkilla (or g2 :grin: )
--------------------------other squads--------------------------
Pallies : This will be a disappointing season for Pallies I think. The good wb pilots they have left are quite inactive it seems, and if they are not getting back I dont see them doing anything special this season. They might reach playoffs instead of Simulate, but somehow I have the feeling Pallies doesnt focus on LD this season, but more on LJ. When I type the lineup of Pallies I think Vihta and Banzi might not even be there ... but oh well.. Hmm Pallies is now picking up some players and maybe that will help their chances of reaching playoffs: Dragonscale, DeusXmachina, Bill C, Touflo <ZH>. Well the last one is more downloading than actually playing, but who knows.
Startingline : Pearl Jam , Bill C, Vihta , Banzi , Froedrick ( Bloodzombie, Hellzno!, Plead , DeusXmachina, Vykromond , Touflo, Dragonscale)
Player of the season : Vihta (if hes alive)
As for Shriek, Precious, Magnet, Rapid, Dice ... or whoever will stay alive, will qualify etc.. as for Shriek they got a very short roster and I cant base any predictions on as it is right now, maybe it if it will change I can predict something about that. Rapid and Dice are far from qualifying and Precious... well I think one of their captains is a banned player from TW so I dont know if they even will get through. Besides that they wont reach playoffs with their current roster I think
Well it seems Dice stopped trying to get into TWLD, Shriek is kinda dissolved, Magent is gone. Rapid and Precious are left, Rapid might have the best papers of those two this TWL.
When I look back it seems I forgot about Rusher, but seriously, I have no idea what is up with Rusher. They seem to have a good period, a bad period and its going in circles. Also because of some other events I cant predict them yet as I dont know what their roster will look like in 2 weeks.
Rusher : An interesting squad which seems to have good and bad periods in short periods. However, some of their pilots seem to stick with the squad in good and bad times and it seems Rusher is picking up a good period just before TWL starts. If those players all stay and maybe with a few pickups this squad could get far too. It makes a big difference if Lofty has a good or bad season, Lofty is entitled to play himself in games, but he has a tendency to go out real fast. If he can get that out of his play and make sure he rushes when it really can Rusher can be a very dangerous squad, esspecially when Raspi, Foreign, Delectable are in good shape too. Question remains is Marin Mega Newbie ? I still think he is, but not sure. But since Mega Newbie choked in an important match last season I think I am starting Aerin over him at this point.
Starting line: Fission, Raspi, Delectable, Foreign, Aerin ( Marin , Victorian, FSTemplar, Necce, Lofty , Faces, Queen)
Player of the season: Fission
