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.

Last season I giggled at people ranking the Master Hunters not at first place and indeed we got the highest win rate of all clans participating in the league. This season however I told my boys that gg isn't the coalition of diplo friends. We are definitely the attackers here. They might have the skillz now, but they are lacking the personalities. No more Aranka any longer, just some swots honestly working their way up on the ladders. No more farming wins against alts, they might have become good gamers in a browser game, but they lost all their #Elite.

You could just create a poll with 18 options and six slots?

^ That would be assuming that each clan is exactly the same strength between stages, whereas stage 2 will use different players and different templates.

1/2. Masters ( because they're the Masters )

3. Outlaws (My favorites for Div.A-can pull a very good surprise)
4/5. Icelandic Turtle ( They can surprise all )
4/5. French Community (They're good )
6/7. Blitz ( I feel they will prove me wrong )
6/7. ONE! ( I feel they will prove me wrong )

1. GG (They're Good Gamers )
2/3. MH (My favorites for Div.B )
2/3. VS (go Glam )
4. WG (I feel they will prove me wrong )
5. Sninja ( nin-nin )
6. VIW (It won't be weird if they move to 2/3 )
7. BIA (Can bounce to upper spots )

(C)

Stage 1
Q1

1. Hydra ( They're good )
2. FCC ( Go Order of Sword )
3. ACME( Can catch 1/2 if one of the previous clan members make a small mistake )

5. Olympus {Gods can change the results}
6. FBG ( I think they can go to 4/5 )

Q2

1. 7th Heaven ( Cool clan with good alts )
2. CORP (The real CORP )
3. LufreDD ( Can catch the 2nd place if CORP falters )
4. Pruben Grade ( Can surprise all )
5/6. German Warlords ( Can get upper ranks, if they manage good wins )
5/6. Dutch ( Can surprise all )

Q3

1/2.Apprentice ( Good line up )
1/2. 101st {go Semicedevine :P }
3/4. Statisticians ( Math power)
3/4. TJC (seems some good alts are there )
5. DWF ( Can fiercely go to upper ranks )
6. Hawks ( Really tough to go to upper ranks-but not an impossible task )

About me not putting Matthijs in: I still am not really sure how to really make up a lineup and did put a few better players in stage 2, also I decided to give everyone that wanted a spot in our lineup, and so don't have people performing at more than 1 template.

just my quick list without too much of thinking and looking at the line-ups to be fair

Division A:
1. Masters
2. Lynx
3. French Community
4. Turtles
5. Outlaws
6. Blitz
7. ONE

i feel like anyone from 3rd place onwards could surprise the other clans but it looks like Masters and Lynx will be the 2 playing for the title at this rate.


Division B:
1. GG
2. MHunters
3. VS
4. WG
5. VIW
6. SNinja
7. BIA

#1 here should be pretty much set and it will be a fierce battle for 2nd place between the next 3 clans but maybe some of the other clans cause an upset.


Qualifier 1:
1. Hydra
2. FCC
3. ACME
4. Poon Squad
5. Olympus
6. FBG

Qualifier 2:
1. 7th heaven
2. CORP
3. LuFredd
4. Preußen Garde
5. Dutch Community
6. German Warlords

Qualifier 3:
1. Apprentice
2. TJC
3. Statisticians
4. 101st
5. DWF
6. Hawks

As said many times the last qualifier is just the scariest out of the 3 of them and anyone from 1 to 5 could take victory in this.

I will close it after Clan League has started and (hopefully) before the first games have ended.

Quality (aka correctness) of predictions over demographic groups obviously will have to wait until after CL9 has ended.
