  • TWLD Mid-Season Predictions

    Figured since TWBL has it's own mid-season predictions so should a more important league. I put these in current 1-16 order on the TWL site.

    1. Syndicate - (5-0) - Not much to say about this squad, one of the old powerhouses, and maybe the only one left after the kind of season that -Final- has been having. I would have to say that the most dominant player on this season and probaly in TWL right now would have to be Colonel from this squad. It's fairly obvious that this squad will be in the playoffs this year, and chances are will be in the Finals as well. (Ending up: 10-0)

    2. Dice - (5-0) - Three months ago I honestly expected that Dice would not be making it into TWL-D with a major lack of warbirds. Mega Newbie turned this around and now Dice is a Major player in this league. I don't think that dice is exactly led by any one player but more along the lines that nobody chokes. I can see Dice vs Syndicate in the Western Conferance championship fairly easily. (Ending up: 8-2)

    3. Sk8 - (4-1) - Hmm what is there to say about sk8, their warbird lineup is led by Geisha (Baserman36_x) and they will make it to the final eight squads definitely. I will though that this is probaly one of the harder squads to predict, they have a couple of hard games in the back half of their season. (Ending up: 7-3)

    4. Disoblige - (4-1) - The TWL nice guys, unlike most of the squads these days that have picked up Quicksand's shit talking squad-ego these guys are playing nice and being nice. Led by Deprecate (last standing) I expect a good back half of the season for this squad having only Syndicate and Sk8 as real threats. (Ending up: 7-3)

    5. Ancients - (3-2) - Well im trying to keep this article as fair as possible, and also trying not to talk any shit while doing it so it will be taken seriously. However Ancients is ranked a little too high for their skill level I would say, once the effects of their 50-0 win clear up a bit things will change. This squad has a back half to a a TWL season I wouldn't wish on my ex girlfriend. Speaking of ex, it appears Exe is the warbird to beat on this squad. (Ending up: 5-5)

    6. Quicksand - (3-2) - Ahhh good ole Quicksand, home of the lame. Although we haven't been having quite the season so far I was expecting, I am happy with our performance, so far we have been led by players like Surfer, and Deluge who tear it up nearly every game. After Sk8 and Dice we have a fairly easy season but anything can happen as we have already found out the rough way. (Ending up: 6-4)

    7. Shinobi - (3-2) - After a rough end of the TWD season, where shinobi barely scraped it's way into the leagues, things are really shaping up for this squad. I was expecting bad things, probaly a 3-7 season they have started teaming pretty well and now I expect them to definitely make the top 4 in their conferance. (Ending up: 6-4)

    8. United Force - (2-3) - *Angry Mutters* Quicksand's current enemy in terms of shit talking has started out with a fairly higher than expected season this year, led by Ducolover, UF has already gotten through the tough half of their season with a decent record. I expect this will probaly be the #4 squad in the Western Conferance when the regular season ends. (Ending up: 6-4)

    9. -Final- (2-3???) - I think this is the squad that everyone is wondering about right now, I mean it's -final-, I think the lack of caring and playing has finally caught up. The lack of playing Sika has really hurt as well I believe. But I doubt they are really worrying, with still five games left and ancients above them I think they will be the #4 squad in the Eastern Conferance at the end of the regular season. (Ending up: 6-4)

    10. Squad!! - (2-3) - Squad!! you have had a heck of a season so far, alot better than I expected from you, I think all too many people thought you were going to be one of this years 3 possible Gantz's. I think though, that you will be repeating the first half with your back half. But I think the entire TWL community has to give you some props for showing everyone you could win some games out here. (Ending up: 4-6)

    11. Heavy - (2-3) - I think the biggest problem this squad has had this year is lack of leadership, and lack of commitment. All season we haven't really seen a playing Apok, and every week Heavy loses seems to be a week where their starters don't show up, whether it be Badly Owned, Caos, Widespread, or Apok himself. It really is ashame, cause I caught a few of your games where you had your starters and you had a definite chance to make playoffs this year. (Ending up: 5-5)

    12. Boz - (2-3) - Boz - Showing Trench Wars that javs can warbird one week at a time. Wow is all I have to say after that upset you pulled vs Sk8. Led by Maybe Exit I think you will probaly have a decent season this year, if not quite enough to get into the playoffs. (Ending up: 5-5)

    13. Pirates - (1-4) - Man.. after you pulled an amazing TWL season out of your ass last season I was kinda hoping to see it again, but it doesn't look like is going to happen unfortunately. Shame to see a squad with so much talent doing so bad in TWL. (Ending up: 3-7)

    14. Warpath - (1-4) - Well, I don't know what to say to you guys except better luck next year. You just weren't quite ready to face off with the calibur of players in TWL. (Ending up: 2-8)

    15. Speed - (1-4) - ^^^^ (same as warpath) (Ending up: 2-8)

    16. Locket/Grapevine - (0-5)(ouch) - Welllllll you are a replacement squad for Grapevine, only two of those losses are yours even though you took them over. I think you are this years Gantz, sorry. (Ending up: 0-10)

    And I will even give you something that the TWLB predicter didn't! My picks for the All Star Game. Even though this is a little early honestly.

    Western Conferance -

    Colonol
    Royce
    Duclover
    Paska
    Badly Owned
    Maybe Exit


    Eastern Conferance -

    Last Standing
    Geisha
    Surfer
    Ardour
    Elven
    Deluge

        Nice post.

        What I like about QS caps is that behind all that bullshit trashtalking they got a pretty good eye for the game, plus they do manage to make TWL more interesting for a whole bunch of kids who are dying to hate someone.

        Anyway, I agree with most you said.
        I'd like to add that there's a big difference between the two conferences. In East Sk8/Disoblige seem to become 1/2, with a bit of luck we could get a week 10 decider who ends on top of the conference. As for place 3 and 4, although Ancients are up high they have A LOT of work to do. This weekend they pretty much need a win vs Disoblige, although they beat them plenty in past TWL seasons, I don't see it happening to be honest. Then they have direct confrontations ahead vs both QS and -F-, and also difficult games vs Shinobi and Squad!. In the end I think it's going to be pretty predictable and Sk8/Diso/QS/-F- will advance to the playoffs.
        In West it's a whole different story. Synd/Dice will go to the playoffs as 1/2 without any competition. This week probably decides who ends up as #1. Although there are less great squads in West, the competition is a lot more fierce. With a lot direct confrontations ahead and games vs squads of the same level, Shinobi, UF, Heavy, BoZ and even Pirates have still all to fight for. I'm personally hoping Pirates will have a great second half and still make playoffs, their experience will make them better competition.
        I'm curious if Synd or Dice will decide to deliberately lose their 10th game to become 2nd in the pool so they face QS instead of last season's champions -F- in the first playoffsround. Although the rushers of QS, when on top of their game, can throw off any opponent. However I think for QS it will be more difficult to come on top with that style in a best of 3 when it really matters.

        As for allstars, I haven't seen any games so far, so no clue. Hopefully me of course.

          Why would dice do that? -f- hasnt proven themselves in any of the 3 leagues this season so far and i dont really expect them to do so in the rest of the season. I expect them to make the playoffs but probably wont make it to any finals this season. Its pretty sad, but maybe all that off-season inactivity is finaly catching up to them.

          As for all-stars, how cant u add megaman89, he played 3 TWLD games so far and mvp'd every 1 of them.

            Cig - Mega hasn't really played vs the hardest of squads.

            Dabram - Honestly, I will be happy if Quicksand gets into the final four with squads like dice/syndicate/-final-, even if we didn't win, from then on out people would associate Quicksand with players on the level of those other three squads. But of course, I do want to win so.

                Elven is going to hop conferences and play for us, even though hes not good?

                West:

                Duclover
                royce
                Colonel
                mega89 if he gets those recs vs decent squads
                ummm probably demonfaze or someone off synd

                East:

                geisha
                sika
                last standing
                me
                (surfer, creature, vitja)

                should be a little fixed. also with us, we have no deluge and no ivf, but we got 2 weeks before we need to start winning games to warm up ex/wark/racka. sucks seeing deluge go but no one on squad really liked ivf so i think its for the better

                    Has anyone taken into account that all of dice's games so far have been pretty easy? They'll lose to syndicate this week.

                      Why does Dice have the easiest TWLD schedule that ever existed?

                      Anyways I see Syndicate, Pirates, and even Quicksand and Shinobi beating them.


                      Oh and Ancients is sucking, if we win this week vs Diso we will continue to dominate, if we lose I don't know, perhaps we will fail at life.

                            I cannot see how people would predict us 3-7 just cause we lost our games vs syndicate, -final-, quicksand and shinobi....
                            maybe shinobi is dissappointing... but those other 3 can just happen...
                            We pretty much had our hardest games...

                            We have Heavy, Squad!!, boz, dice and united force still coming...
                            You could win those 5 and end up in play-offs...
