still doesn't mean a thing, if you still have noobs playing ror instead of eu, you still get 0 points

thats no reason :D

even if you have a lineup a good clan could fall apart and become last or important players getting booted all the time.

even if the clan league finished it might turn out that the winner clan cheated and its disqualified afterwards.


EDIT: i will predict in 10 years. Then I might have enough information to predict results

@let's fight!! yes maybe can happen because there are many new clans or just clans with 6 players hope that we can play without many boots

only thing I'm sure of is that there's no way corporate shills lose to the monkey hunters this time

Lineups except for C are out.

only thing I'm sure of is that there's no way corporate shills lose to the monkey hunters this time

Sounds like a monkey who's about to get hunted.

thx Cowboy amazing work!!! :) only miss Division D line up for reading many predictions

As promised I will give my predictions for B now that lineups are released:

1) FCC- no surprise here they have the most balanced roster and Xeno.

2) Stats - This is somewhat Yeon dependent, but if he shows up they are strong across most of the board

3) MH- Thankfully no Leopard, and Emu and DrApe only playing 2 slots a piece. I could see them promoting.

4) VIW- I think B breaks down pretty cleanly into two brackets: 1-3, and 4-7. I'll optimistically pick my own clan to finish atop that 4-7 group although we could finish anywhere in that range. I like how this tournament breaks down for us. 3v3s look strong as do some 2v2s. We'll take our lumps on some of the 1v1s but do some damage in others.

5) CORP- So before lineups I planned to rate Corp 7th. However, I like their lineup a lot better than I thought I would. Solid players across the board with a few spots they could shine in.

6) 101- Honestly their lineup just doesn't inspire me. ACL will get his on the 1v1s, but beyond that I think they struggle. I may be underrating them because of my unfamiliarity with some of their players.

7) HAWKS- Just like I could see VIW finishing 7th, I can see HAWKS finishing 4th. This isn't a knock on HAWKS' lineup just a belief that the tournament broke badly for them. They should fly high on dRoR, but their strongest 2v2 is in a tournament where they won't be able to shine, and their 1v1s seem to set up unfortunately as well. HAWKS proved a lot of people wrong last year, and may prove me wrong this year, but this is my pick.

And IRise asked me for estimating VIW's chances of not-relegating. I'll give us a 60% chance of finishing higher than 6th.

I predict nobody's predictions will be correct, including this one.

Hydra will win on the 2v2 Volcano template.

Hail Hydra

Division A

ONE!
SNinja

ONE! has given a stellar lineup, and I think its going to be hard to beat. They have strong players on every template.
SNinja is giving a similar lineup to last season, I think that they will give similar results and vie for first themselves.

Lynx
Outlaws
Apprentice
WG

These four clans could go in any which way. They all posit strong points in their rosters, but they all seem to have some weakness to them as well. As with last season, lynx has a lineup with very few names that pop. I'd expect improvement from a dismal performance last season for this perennial powerhouse, but its hard for me to evaluate them.

Outlaws have proven themselves to be stalwarts in this division, and I expect them to continue to come in with a middling performance as before.

Apprentice is an absolute wildcard for me. They have a lineup with some names that pop, but it remains to be seen with what kind of effort this clan puts on the table, and its not a completely bulletproof lineup. They could be competing among ONE! and SNinja, or they could be fighting to stay out of relegation. I have no clue. I have them staying, but this clan could go in any direction in this division.

WG is a good clan, but their roster has not shifted much while others around them seem to have improvements or upgrades. It's a tough call here, but ill pick them to be one of the two relegates.

GG

GG's roster does not match up with the rest of A at all. They may surprise me, but I find it hard to see them be anything but last here.

Division B

FCC
Statisticians
M'Hunters

Yes, I ranked my clan first. I'd say that the lineup is better without me. If I was playing, we would probably relegate, but since I am not, FCC promotes. What a difference one player makes!

Stats and M'Hunters bring solid lineups to the table. It will be these three clans that will be fighting for two promotion slots.

101st
VIW
CORP
HAWKS

This is all a tossup, but I will give it a stab.

101st will probably continue to preform solidly with ACL tears and pumpkinhead playing. Not sure if they have enough depth to compete for a promotion spot however.

VIW and Hawks I have no familiarity with. CORP appears to have a good roster, but have historically underwhelmed in the past. So its all ??? here.


Division C

Blitz

Duh.

Brothers in Arms
Hydra
REGL

All of these clans have a lot to like. BIA has done well in the past, and hydra has some good players to go along with that. REGL might be a touch weaker, but they have the ability to compete for the promotion slot.

Discovery

Discovery isn't competing for the slot, but they certainly look to have a better roster than either VG or celtica.

Varangian Guard
Celtica

I know nothing about these clans, but they dont seem too impressive structurally, so I will stick them here.

Division D

No lineup posted.

Post line-up thoughts
Div A:
1. Lynx
2. ONE!
3. SNinja
4. Outlaws
5. Apps
6. [WG]
7. |GG|

Div B:
1. FCC
2. Stats
3. VIW (never thought I'd put them that high)
4. M'Hunters
5. CORP
6. HAWKS
7. 101st

3v3 RoR is unlike 3v3 Ladder. This is a different game.
The team thathas most expirience on it will succeed, not necessarily the teams that have been great on 3v3 Ladder.

Same for all other templates that are not in ladder. That are .... wait .... all but one.

WG will be 4th or better.

1st: Sninja - nothing's changed from last season, rak and max are still beasts. 3v3 map pool with europe replaced with d RoR is likely even better for them (rak 6-0ed on it last time it was in the pool), although I think the 2v2 pool may be a bit worse. Only real changes player-wise from last year are losing a 1v1 slot from jaesar and losing whatever you believe waddles was contributing to team games. Add in that hergul has gotten better and I think this is still the team to beat.

2nd: Lynx - Lynx not fielding kicorse is important, but replacing him (and a timon WR slot I suppose) with AI and jimmy is comparable enough that it shouldn't hurt them too bad. There's not a single slot you look at here and go "they could 0-6". Think with sninja are pretty clearly the team with the best chance of catching sninja, with lynx having much more depth but not the same peaks roster-wise as sninja.

3rd: WG - Haters gonna hate. WG almost caught ONE for 4th at the end of last CL despite tons of Verz boots. Not a single slot outside of the AI replacement-fest of the WG biomes experience with 3 or 4 ai replaces went worse than 2-4 and I wouldn't expect much in the way of down slots from WG going forward. Losing Europe from the pool and not having a dedicated dRoR expert may hurt, but this roster is incredibly deep. Reza is a great biomes player that should not be drowned in AI this season, and adding Summer to the roster adds easily the favorite to win Greece.

I'm bored of typing the rest up now but the other placements go:

Outlaws ONE and apps are the teams that should be fighting to avoid relegation and probably place in that order. I'm never betting against a team with edge but there's a good number of team slots that could be problematic for Outlaws. ONE was incredibly lackluster last season but if we get buns at his best then I think they can avoid demoting. Apps has the most concerning slots that could possibly 0-6 between the 3 teams there but if Meldarion is as good as Cowboy talks him up to be on biomes this team can easily prove they belong. GG is probably last.

Cheers

3-7 is gonna be a lot of fun to watch in B

this will be fun!

is this some report?

Division A

SNinja - In my new predictions, I am predicting SNinja to have a great Clan League and out-shine all the others. They have an extremely skilled line-up that will prove just that later.

ONE! - Even though Buns has joined, one player cannot carry a team to 1st. they can to 2nd tho! . i expect ONE! to do very well in A though. There line-up looks to be powerful and very strong, but i haven't played many of their players so idk

Apprentice - With the additions of MoD and Master Moto i expect them to do well. Their line-up looks to be extremely strong. 1-3 will be very hard race.

Outlaws - I put Outlaws as 4th even though i feel to put them 3rd. Schwarz has beaten me many times so i expect him to do great :)
The rest of their line-up looks decent.

Lynx - I at first put them 1st, but then I switched lol. imo most clans in a stronger line-up, but I think this will be a very close race and could go any way

WG - I do not know much about WG although they are WarLight Gods :) . I think they will relegation because imo the other line-ups look to be stronger. They still have many good players, but i don't think they have what it takes to, well... conquer Div. A

GG - I also don't know much about this clan, but going off of their line-up, i think they (and WG) will relegate The other line-ups look to be filled with stronger players...





Division B

FCC - Their line-up looks very strong and skilled. They have many top players who I think will carry them to A. I think FCC will run away with the victory easily. having lost to many of their players many times, it would be no surprise if they win.

Statisticians - They came from A; they will go back to A. Stats line-up looks to be decent and strong . I haven't really played their players much, but looking at profiles and other things, I think Stats and M'Hunters will have a close race for 2nd. Like Glass said, this is Yeon dependent.

M'Hunters - They also came to A and seem to have a powerful line-up. Their line-up seems to be matched with Stats. a few of their top players aren't playing though, so that could change the results.

HAWKS - HAWKS just had a great run from Qualifiers to C and then to B. I think Hawks will stay in B easily, but not promote. Hawks and 101st will be fighting for 4th. Hawks' line-up has proved to be great in the past so this may all change. Me being in HAWKS< I believe we can promote!!

101st - 101st has many good players, but the best players go to Lynx, in division A. So if Lynx takes the better players, does 101st have any "Division A top players?" Yes, I think they do, but it isn't enough to promote. I think they will do good on 1v1's but the others... idk

CORP - CORP has many good strategy and diplo players. Some of their top players are in fact, diplo players. The have a few good players in their line-up where I think they will shine, but they just don't seem to really "have it."

VIW - Hmmm... this was a hard decision. I see some players putting them as top of B, some of bottom of B. I think the other clans line-ups look to be more powerful. I may be underestimating this clan, but who knows? Most of their top players are playing, so I wouldn't be surprised if they come in 2nd or 3rd.





Division C

Blitz - Blitz has a lot of top players. I was surprised they didn't promote last season, but I think they definitely will this season. But now Murtle has left them... They also gained a few good players

Brothers in Arms - BIA has a promising line-up with decent players. Blitz and BIA will have a close race. I may switch BIA to first later.

Varangian Guard - this is a newer clan also with players who have potential. I put them in 3rd because their line-up looks to be much stronger than the clans below them.

Hydra - Hydra will win Volcano Islands apparently :) They will win some other templates also. They look to be a good clan that is "coming back from hibernation?"
Discovery - Discovery has skilled players, but I don't think they have enough to go to C. Their line-up looks good, but the other clans look better.

REGL - A small clan with a fine looking line-up. They seem to have done well in the past... but I don't think they have what it takes to promote this CL

Celtica - Celtica is a big clan with a few top players. Their line-up looks strong, but I don't rly know much about them.





Division D


French Community - Ok, they have many top players. I guess they used to be in A? Well, if that is so, they are going to C!

Lu Fredd - they have good and strong players with a good potential I think

Vikinger - They just gained many new decent players and look to possibly promote?

[BR] FUDEW - Skilled players... fighting for promotion!

German Warlords - many strong players (who all are German), but they don't seem to have a strong enough players to win D

The Last Alliance - I know almost nothing about this clan. I do not know if they have played in past Clan League's and if they did well or not, but they seem to have some decent players so...

Polish Eagles - A newer clan with many promising players. I think some of their players are good, but definitely not enough to win.

Edited 1/8/2020 22:48:07

With confidence I can predict TLA to finish top of Div D... We have a large, fearsome lineup of veteran players who have been playing CL since you folks where still in nappies (diapers for the Americans). 😉

In my opinion its really hard to predict something sure talking about A. All clans are pretty good. Also GG that all people say that they will relegate, I think they show a solid line up with a good team experience. I believe that SNinja, Lynx, Outlaws and ONE! play to win but maybe Lynx and Outlaws haves a bit more this time. Apprentice with Master of Desaster looks so competitive too. WG its usually play high divisions. Will be really fun to follow this event.

Division B looks like really hard too. When dd played Clan War against FCC, I believed that they dont showed a titular team but im wronged. Octane and Aura Guardian I think are top players with Xeno and they dont will play. mmm. Yes they show a stronger line up without dubs, but there are some good clans ready to win here. Maybe HAWKS? Statisticians? Im a bit curious to see the new MH line up too. VIW will be the clan surprise im sure.

Division C Blitz. A part Brother in Arms, im not sure that there are really active clans here. Poor line up.

Division D French Community its ready to win with Polish Eagles and German Warlords. Vikinger its a new clan they shows good players but I think its a bit late to try to win. Anyway I dont know nothing about this clan so its a bit risky talking about them. Same The Last Alliance. Ah, Lu Fredd will fight to win every match :d we will see at the end if we are ready to play highest divisions.

DivA
Outlaws
Lynx
SNinja

DivB
HAWKS
FCC
Statisticians

DivC
Blitz
Brother In Arms
VG

DivD
FC, Lu Fredd and Polish Eagles will fight to win this division
