I'm excited because I expect a close race at the top between the four clans. I also expect a close race to stay up between the three newly-promoted clans, with a large gap (maybe as large as 50 points) in between the two groups. There are many players I don't know in the lineups of the newly-promoted clans, so there's every chance I'm badly wrong about this, which only adds to my excitement.

Good luck all!

Lineups arent public yet too early to make predictions imo.

But ofc 1st will be Masters.

EDIT: Apparently the lineups are public. Will not delete original comment so that people can laugh.

EDIT 2: After looking through lineups, this might be the closest CL ever.

my heart says 1. optimum but I think masters are gonna sweep once again and with ease, followed by a close race between 3 clans (you know which 3), out of which tough to know.

if usb has the motivation they had last year their stacked teamgames can carry them to 2nd place.
turtles is practically python with tornado and single slotting juan/dceo. 2nd at best, anything in 2-4th possible.
in optimum we lost some players we gained some others, most didn't want to play cause rise of rome didn't make it. I've heard some of our members are destined for a papamersh-performance on their retrospective templates.
hawks has a very sus squad, and LF isn't on Europe 3v3. but I don't want 6 months from now to say I'm sorry for doubting them, so 5th guaranteed with the possibility of an upset.
from the bottom 2 I believe harmony allocated better their resources than tla, but also I have more defeats to LND than I want to admit, so I choose to believe.

In which tournaments do you feel Masters has such an edge that they'll have an easy time winning?

well when i say they will win easily, im taking into consideration that they had almost 77%wr last year with a bad 3v3 slot. from the other rosters last year, usb is seeing a downgrade cause the dragons pulled out, yet they got calmwaters. its a risky squad and at best they will perform slightly worse than last year which isnt enough. optimum's squad has changed a lot from last year and turtles is very similar with the addition of 3 new 1v1 players and the 3v3 europe magna team. python last year was at 48% wr, albeit a lot of that can be attributed to boots and motivation dropping midseason. 48% doesnt become 77% with the addition of 3 new 1v1 slots from ONE.

about masters, i see some double and triple slots i didnt expect, like ryiro, crazy and motoki. regardless, i think they get at worse a 5-1 in half the templates out there.
3v3 magna? ryiro won with mod biomes teamgames in the past and played biomes 2v2 in ml3, i dont see how they drop below 4-2 or 5-1.
europe? the whole slot feels lackluster, so kennys 4-2 seems possible.
black sea? will never doubt mod cause he went 5-1 in georgia army crap
final earth? wtf are the other teams
landria? wtf are the other teams vol 2
timid? check comment on mod
numenor -> i dont know whats ryiro's experience on vanilla but he gets anything between 3-3 to 5-1 in there with his eyes closed
me -> random forsaken factor
biomes -> likely a 4-2
greece-> timi
lampuria-> follow ryiro arguement above

so they have 3 1v1s that can go wrong and those likely can never go below 3-3 + whatevers happening in 3v3 europe

edit: i dont mean to speak bad of the 2v2 slots i comment with wtf are the other teams. i just think in landria they should get at least 5 and in final earth if marcus doesnt boot they should get at least 4, with both teams having the potential to finish 6-0

but maybe all of this is part of my plan in doubting the quickman corn silver himself cause we all know when we doubt him he finishes 6-0

Sometimes you can see predictions and you don't need to know the author to tell which clan they are coming from
