1. Penetrate
Possibly my favorite to win it this season. Strong spider depth, and shark depth on this roster can come up with a win just like dicE last season. Penetrate's strong spider lineup is tough to beat because of the chemistry they posses in the lineup. They can push you around with the spiders and their sharks are quite annoying to kill. If play their cards right, I can see them having an undefeated season. I think they are that good.
Terr: Cintra/Trasher
Sharks: menomena/porkjet/Krage/Downfall
Spiders: Royst/AcidBomber/Minotar/Solace/
2. Pandora
Pandora has been a squad for a while, and they have been to TWLB finals lot of times, but they can never seem to win the whole season. Will this season be different? It could be. They have the talent to back it up with their trash talk, but we shall see what happens in TWLB. For sure Pandora will likely meet in the playoffs. I am confident about that. Mattey and Zidane are a good duo of sharks. Say what you will about Zidane, but Zidane has gotten better at his role in Shark. Like others said, Vatican's inacvity gives Zidane a chance to shine this season. Will Shayde, and Cape will lead Pandora to the finals once again?
Terr: Cape
Shark: Mattey/Zidane (Vatican)
Spiders: Shayde/Undercut/Sarger/Ease
3. Dudgeon
Yes, Dudgeon is my third rank squad. These guys have been playing together for years and finally they are becoming a squad to be reckoned with in basing. Mikkiz is probably the best terrier right now in the game with the way hes playing lately. Nokkonen and rest of the sharks lineup are a good depth lineup. The payment (sorry haha) of megaman89 could come up big, or fall up short.
terr: Mikkiz
Shark: Nokkonen/Sakke
Spiders: Dreamwin/Mickie/Pardon/Megaman89/Melanoma
4. Sage
Just because Sage was last place in TWD couple weeks ago, doesn't mean they should be overlooked. Sage to me, can make a serious run in TWLB with the talent on the roster they have. Lets examine. They got the powerhouse spider in Stayon from dicE, and his brother Kess, which they make a great duo. The captain, Spikey, who is a great player in his own right. Can play any ship, so he'll be a good shark/terr backup as well. Then they have other solid spiders such as Kaware/struck/NL>Terminator/Havu/Remu, etc. Their shark core is pretty impressive as well. A2M/cranium/Zyclon/NL Trigger are a solid shark core. They have great depth in their roster for basing. Zizu by many is possibly the best terr in the game. If he plays great, then I expect them to take a few games from the top 3 I listed
.
Terr: Zizu/Kuuknen
Shark: A2M/cranium
Spiders: Spikey/Stayon/NL>Trerminator/Kess/superstar pro killer
5. Cobra
Cobra can be either a really good squad, or be one of the worst. It just depends on the lineup they have in a game. Cobra can surprise a lot of people in TWLB. They are my dark horse to make a far run in TWLB. Solid depth, solid activity, and just a well rounded three league squad run by Creature. They have solid sharks in Dwopple/Creature pairing, and good backup with BongHits and Murder if one of them don't show. The spider line is what I am most iffy about. Can they come up big in big games? They should have no problems beating squads like Revenge/Raid/Sweet/Spastic. Lead by renzi, and flared, well see if this squad can make deep playoff run. It just depends on who shows.
terr: flared/raples
Shark: Dwopple/Creature
Spiders: Renzi/Murder/Necromotic/Turban
6. Revenge
Revenge would have been a lot higher if it weren't their roster getting a little hurt by the emergence of new squads and what not. Still, their core can pull off some upsets. Menelvagor, and the crew, have been playing together since god knows how long. They have the chemistry to pull off some wins, I'm just worried bout the depth in their roster. Five months ago, this squad would been a favorite to win, now I'm not so sure.
terr: Skatarius/warportal
Shark: hellkite/rodney/menelvagor
Spider: Menelvagor/Squall/M_M God/
7. Sweet
Sweet should actually be higher, but I think squads like Dudgeon and Sage, are better then the squad they have, no offense. Though still, they have some of the bests spiders in the game that could pull of an upset. Possible dark horse, indeed. Spezza, is probably their strongest spider they have on the roster. Great pickup by the captains. He really strengths their depth for spider because hes a good player. Sharks like LF,Riverside, Engneers, and MHZ are solid group of players in their respective ship. What concerns me about this squad is the actvity? I see squads playing every day, like Penetrate and Spastic, and Pandora. Though, I only see them playing maybe twice a week? Maybe they dont have the most practice of the squads, but they can be good if they increase the actvity just by a little.
Terrs: Burnt
Sharks: LF/Engineers (Riverside/MHZ)
Spiders: Spezza/Jack/Zeebu/Hulk/Jack
8. Raid
Raid is also one of the squads who were hurt by squad hoppers; emergence of the new squads. If some have their players have stayed, I thought they could had made a serious run. With those loses though, I think unfortunately it has hurt their chances in TWLB. No mistake about it, Raid is run by a great group of people with Pressure/Reaver leading the pack as terrs. Their depth however, is very concerning to me. They barley have 30 people on the roster, so they don't have much spider depth. Looking at the roster, they have a lot more warbirds and javers on the team. Though those basers, are some very good players. Eelam/Dald/poxy/Steep, solid spider core right there. The shark depth is very lacking in my opinion. Its just too me if they don't show, it can be quite troubling for Raid in TWLB. Other leagues, they should be favorites.
Terrs: Pressure/Reaver
Sharks: plob f/best (I really have no idea...)
Spiders: Bill C/poxy/Steep/Eelam
I will not predict my own squad (Spastic). However, I will say we need lot of work to get done if we are need of a serious run for TWLB. We are behind because we only started couple months ago. Everyone else had practice for months, but lucikly with great recruitng and the build up for Spastic, it could save us from a disaster season.
