TWLB Predictions

[Jack]

I'm not saying twlb or twld requires more skill but I do think people are over simplifying a warbird game. For the people who think you just aim and press cntrl you are far from wrong, many nuances occur and that is why for something people say is so easy so many people still suck at it.

I enjoy base and dd equally though, I only spider and it is quite easy. I'm sure sharking or being a terr requires more skill, I don't understand why either side is bashing each other in an attempt to validate ones ego.

Glass ego's galore. Let's get along.

These "which league is better arguments" only come up in TWBD and TWLB threads because basers don't care about wbs, but the same certain idiot wbs always start it up every year. Why?

I am going to bet on the darkhorse squad this year... I am going to say that Spastic will finally win this year.

Will it happen? Maybe not... but who the fuck wants the favorite winning every year? Not me. I'll be rooting for spastic

Good call Exalt.

Fuck Pandora.

Spastic will win.

spastic dissolved (people went everywhere, JAMAL - dice, ph - MAD, then left after losing a bd to rapid: which is understandable becoz no1 should lose to them, Stabwound, Coiff - Thunder, pure_luck - epidemic, etc.

#1 Respect:
Been #1 for almost entire season.. killer sharks and good spids.
The squad i hate playing against the most and therefore my favorite to win it this year :P

#2 Sage:
Eh im in sage.. but been playing good all season and i hope we put up an upset.. tired of ppl putting us #10 on their ladders (:

#3 Dice:
Good players, but always something wrong with dice ..

#4 Penetrate:
Season 12 champs, didnt play their best line yet in a bd.. will be interesting if they actually get ppl to show up ..

#5 Brainwave:
Annoying to play against, one time we go 15-1 vs them next time we lost 15-12. If the line shows i think they can put up a good fight!

#6 Thunder/Mad:
Been playing poorly/good during season.. dunno who they gonna put in so nothing much to say

#7 Tech:
Dont think they will do good in twlb since squads will try vs them now.. think they got lucky getting 1000+ cuz of ppl going all crazy with specials vs them..

#8 A-S:
They know it themselves, they played some shitty basing this season.. got twlb and i like that since A-S is epic :P Hope they will do well!

#9 Rapid:
wtf they doing in twlb :P

My TWLB Season 13 predicts

Dice
In it to win it, they have more than a few beastly players that can not only carry themselves but the whole line if necessary. Their problem seems to be playing the right line. If they continue to play favorites it will come back to bite them in the ass. If their top sharks show (Cig Smoke, Dwopple, and Riske) with their top spids in (Domi, Mega, Wbm, Stayon, Renzi or Shayde) they won't need to worry about who they put in Terr (Maketso, Vys, Jamal...). Keeping a Jav out of their lineup will make for a sure win against most of the squads. I expect Dice to lose 2-3 games due to poor capping and a couple chokes. I see them making it to the playoffs and then the finals.

Sage
I see sage being a few games above 500. They can usually bring the heat when they want but I can't see them beating the top squads. Zizu usually has to carry them in Terr along with Verg in Shark. They have pretty good team chemistry considering they have no outstanding Spiders in my mind besides Spikey. They will most likely make it to the playoffs but that is the farthest they will go.

Brainwave
I will never be able to figure out this squad. Sometimes they can really kick some ass but most of the time it's like they forget where they are and what their purpose in life is. Their roster is huge and I have no idea what lines they are going to put out each weekend. What I do know is they are going to have to have Mikkiz in Terr along with Downfall/midoent in shark and at least ffe/meddi in Spider if they want any chance at picking up some key games against squads like Dice, Sage, and Mad. In order for them to be successful other Spiders are really going to have to step it up. I predict BW will be a few games under 500 and most likely will not make the playoffs.

Penetrate
Here is a squad where if their 2 top sharks (Veloce and Jeenyuss) show then it doesn't really matter who they have in Spider as long as they push with their sharks which Royst, lunch3, tsumetai, zeebu, and turmio are pretty capable of doing. They have a couple solid terrs now (WingZero and Fermata) who are going to need to have good games if they want to win. These guys are really going to need to work hard but if everything comes together for them I predict they will be 3-4 games above 500 sending them into the playoffs and maybe even to the semis.

Thunder
Starting to look like Spastic a little bit which is a good thing for them because now they have some very solid Terrs (Pure_Luck & Burnt) along with some really good sharks (Stabwound, Chuckle, and a couple others). They have some really good spiders who are going to have to show such as Ease, Humid, and Mouse along with a few others who will need to step it up. They have a secret weapon, Necro, who they can use in Jav, most likely, successfully. They can throw Kian, dald, eelam and i.d. around somewhere as a utility guys, so if their line shows up I see thunder actually doing quite well and being well over 500 and making it into the playoffs and then to the semis.

Techunique
If they win anything it will be against A-S or Rapid, but I doubt they can even beat them. DF is an ok Terr and they have one or two decent spiders but they do not have the sharks to really hold off anything nor do they have any spiders they can carry the line. I dont see Tech doing very well at all and they will be lucky to win 1-2 games. Sorry Tech, maybe you can prove me wrong?

Mad
Mad reminds me a little of Dice. They have some great players who can really dominate a game. They got a couple solid Terrs such as Mattey and Zizzo plus some really good sharks like PH and cranium. They have some powerhouse Spiders too (Ro, Scoop, Turban, Might, and 1-2 others). Like Dice, they have a lot of good players and are going to need to make good capping decisions if they want to win. They can't play favorites and will need to play a standard line with no specials. If their players show up I see Mad losing 3-4 games and floating right into the playoffs making their way to the semis.

Anti-Scrub
So much potential yet they just can't get it together. They have a great top line but never get to see it. Brookus is the obvious Terr and he will need to do better than he has been all season which is prolly unlikely. They have a couple sharks but none that stand out in my mind...maybe the most consistent are teh super and epic but they are not very aggressive. Solacer, USOi and Sprained are their best Spids and without them they will have no chance. They will need their players to show and for no one to choke if they want to make it to 500. There is a good chance we see A-S in the playoffs.

Rapid
Arobas, Jebu, Lifter, Violence, and nam will need to be there to play w/e ships along with some other people I might be forgetting. I don't see rapid doing very well though but this might be that underdog squad that does better than A-S, and BW, and...i predict... comes close to being 500 but not close enough as they won't make the playoffs.

Respect
Whatever happens...happens.

I expect another exciting TWLB season as there are many many many good players out there spread out across all the squads. I expect we see squads like Brainwave and A-S do better than expected but in the end and in the finals I see it being Dice vs. Respect.
