division A
1. MASTER 2. Lynx 3. Icelandic Turtles 4. French Community 5. Outlaws 6. ONE! 7. [Blitz]
MASTER in CL8 was held back by bunch of boots. This season they have even stronger line-up, adding Timinator and Panagiotis, which makes their roster seem nearly completely flawless.
Lynx however has much more players and overally improved since last season, which means they might still vye for first.
Turtles have much tougher 1v1s than previously, and seem to balance their strength well even without Sułtan. Unfortunately there's no improvement since CL8 and it'll all still rely on performance from very few players, compared to other clans.
French won't surprise anyone. With same people playing for them for multiple seasons, they should do similarly well. Might swing few places either way.
And there are ONE!, Outlaws, Blitz. Blitz seems to have a great division B line-up, but it's actually weaker than season before since they won't have GiantFrog. Outlaws have chemistry in them, and Krzysztof on two templates. ONE! is obviously good, but not really a star line-up except Beren and the Europe team.
division B
1. GG 2. VS 3. M'Hunters 4. WG 5. Sninja 6. BIA 7. VIW
Well this division is sad, full of old dying clans. GG is obvious number one, shattered by really dodgy line-up in CL8 that hardly shown clan's strength. I have a moral dilemma about WG, since the clan is obviously dead, almost nothing to do with the glorious WarGods that dominated CL4, and it really should sign out like apex and AHoL did, but with addition of smiley and almosttricky, and still having better-than-most-divB players it can't fail. M'Hunters and VS are the fresh blood in div B, I believe they can shake up things a bit. Sninja have rakleader, but doesn't have... almosttricky. Because he plays for WG god knows why. BIA's line-up looks a bit messy, compared to previous season and they aren't exactly an elite clan anyway. VIW... well... knowing how well thought out was this roster, and it having no AG, Metatron, Nogals like it had in CL8, I don't give him any chances. It's dead.
Now, the divisions that are real fun and spirit of Clan League: Q1, Q2, Q3. Much livelier and much better.
Q1:
1. Hydra 2. FCC 3. Acme Co. 4. Poon Squad 5. FBG 6. Olympus
I am biased to put Hydra at first, however it'll be a tough battle between the top3 clans. Acme's players don't seem to be as tough as the other two, bar ACL Tears, though. Poon Squad, FBG and Olympus already played each other in CL8 division D and they finished in same order as in my predictions. They will be free points for Hydra, FCC and Acme though.
Q2:
1. 7th Heaven 2. CORP 3. Preußen Garde 4/5/6. LuFredd/Dutch Forever/German Warlords
The easiest and most nationalist division, even if 7th Heaven defeats CORP all the way, these two still outclass their competition IMO. The German clans do have some decent players, but it's won't be enough, and I'm afraid [NL] might've planned too much for stage 2 since I don't see Matthijs here (him and surfpizza were their best in CL8). Lu Fredd has nothing left of the CL7 team.
Q3:
1. {TJC} 2. Apprentice 3. 101st 4. HAWKS 5. Divided We Fall 6. Statisticians
I am biased putting {TJC} on first (again), but I believe they can do this even in this hellish division. However anyone from them, 101st and Apprentice can be the first two, while HAWKS and DwF are able to steal some wins too. Statisticians don't have enough good players and even less of them is seen in stage 1, which in this division is suicidal.
