The same goes for Masters too. I know we are all hoping for Slammy, Jeff and Farah to come out of retirement mid season.

Edited 2/25/2018 00:36:40

idk about any of the other CLs but CL 20 will see Felidae rise to its rightful place as 1st in div A. VVV Will also rise again and place 2nd in B

Edited 2/25/2018 07:40:33

Before I make my predictions, I'm just not going to bother ranking Outlaws as I'm going to be biased.

1. Masters - Won CL9 , Should've won CL8. Best clan on the game. Have the pulling factor of all the top promising players e.g Master Shinra , Pardon , Xenophon... Have a good structure going forward and contain the best players in the game at the moment. Clan League winning syndrome will hit them as it would be ridiculous if they can top their record-winning CL9 win though they are still favourites to win.


2. GG - My dark horse for the season, I believe they can perform and finish as high as 2nd. There is no question about their talent, MIFRAN and JV (stalling cheat but he has skill I suppose) MisterT , FlyingBender.. There is quality in the clan for the 1v1s but I believe if players like Mifran and Flyingbender or anybody else really get their team games together. They can challenge for a 2nd place. Perhaps even 1st but this is dream land for the moment. Experienced and a close group of individuals. Linberson + Awesomeusername added will do no damage either to their chances.

3. Lynx - Rejuvenated roster of new players. Rento , Octane , Timon92 , Boubou , Bbraw , Wini and Darkpie coming back , Kurdistan , Lew.. Could nearly make a entirely new CL team with the new recruits. Add this with Lynx assets already ZeroBlindDragon who can lead the EU + China teams, Arkanton who is a veteran , Greentea the battle Islands king , Dom365 a good player , Improved Quicksilver + Alexclusive. Lots of postive changes , however Lynx can be a hit/miss clan. Most of the new players will find CL more intense than the other games they've impressed. It will be a amazing season or a disappointing season with them.

4. ONE! - Surprised everyone last season, They rely on their key performers to push them through winning countless games. (Beren , Malakkan , PJ , Grizzlis and Holdway) They've added Nox who is a Guiroma template specialist and can fill some slots well. However, I don't see all 5/6 players performing as well as they did last season so I expect a drop from ONE! this season, Wouldn't be surprised if they performed as well as they did last season either. I think ONE! and Lynx will tightly be together this season.

5. VS - They are a good clan, They put a good attitude to everything they've done. I see plenty of their members on the ladders. However they are out of their depths in the A division, They suffered in depth in B division and lost games against "weaker opposition".. They will truly pay the price for their lack of depth likely finishing 0-6 if it's truly exposed. I don't think they will boot and I have faith in their top performing players. INSIDE + Rocky1 + Glam will need to put a enormous shift and their members will need to over-perform to have any chance in staying in A I feel. They will give it a good go and won't have the attitude to boot. If you put your mind to it, Why can't you have a chance of staying up?

6. M'Hunters - They've declined and this is proved by Norman speeches from M'Hunters about to kick the elitists asses from ranking them below VS. It was also strange to see M'Hunters enter a secondary contact that was 140 days inactive.. Just these little things can show alot. 90 is a key player they've lost, He was a crucial 3 slot player who is now gone. Panagiotis is retired so he's not going to rescue. Players like Cluster + Hobo are going to be under-dogs in the 1v1s and TBest is retired. Holes are in this M'Hunters squad and they don't seem to have much replacements to adequately perform. They will need to over-perform in places and simply give it the best attempt they can do and hope for the best. The CL10 squad will be weaker in CL9 squad and this is not how you should be going into a new higher-skilled division hoping to stay up!!

Conclusion - I expect 5th and 6th to be something that will play out accordingly. VS + M'Hunters haven't improved their rosters significantly with lack of recruits. 2nd - 4th will be a open race with any clan finishing ahead just because of performance. 1st is expected to be Masters but the pressure of being 1st can be a daunting one , especially if they lose games early on. Remember their invincible start? How you start really sets the mode so it's important for all clans to have a good start.

Division B -

1. WG - Have the best players in the division , They have the depth. The only reason they didn't promote last season was purely because of motivation.. How a group of players like that couldn't finish ahead of VS or M'Hunters is beyond my mind. They've additions to their squad with a active Verzehrer who is seemingly able to take 3 slots at his rate of activity. Super Smoove who can effectively carry their EU squad. The opposition they have against them is not at their level. ChrisCMU holds the key in being the leader who can keep his army motivated and hungry to promote because in all seriousness, They should promote with their eyes closed.

2. Sninja - Rakleader has done amazingly well for them in CL and I suspect he will continue his form in this season. Depth has always been the question mark for SNinja to be truly promotion contenders and instead of them having to improve their depth.. The competition has simply decreased. Rakleader + Jaymer will need to do well for them to promote. Max + Waddles the new recruits are solid players that need to be perform decent to support Rakleader + Jaymer who simply can't do it on their own. They have experienced players in their roster and I think they can do the job this season.

3. Hydra - They have remained stable, Solid players in ppface , Derfelios , Milly... The Hydra asset is they have depth to cover all their slots with decent players. Milly is capable of doing well in his slots and I think generally they can give a good effort. If they can get some wins against Sninja's WG's Stats top players they could sneak a 2nd place promotion.

4. Statisticians - They've 3 good players in Yeon Math Wolf + Jaymer.. Is Yeon going to play with him being 4 days offline? Are there heavy hitters going to be so much heavy hitters if they get paired with the other clans heavy hitters? I'm not convinced. They have the weakest depth out of the other promotion chasing clans from my perspective. They need their not so heavy players to muster a few wins and pray for the top trio to carry them to victory which will be tough depending how the line-ups shape up.

5. FCC - Aura Guardian will need to perform overly well on his 3 slots to give FCC any type of shot at finishing high in this division. They're evolving with new players that I'm sure are heavily inexperienced on new templates. They need time and they I'm sure they will improve to be better than TJC in this division. FCC are improving, Just need time but this CL is coming too soon for the clan to mature.

6. TJC - No alts to help them this season, Carlos retired which is one of their heavy-hitters. dry-clean-only not as active as before... Doesn't seem to be much hope for the clan to finish any higher than 6th. However, with FCC being so new it wouldn't surprise me if their line-up could finish higher than FCC.. Though with Aura over FCC.. FCC will be prepped up and give it a good go as opposed to TJC that I doubt will be as motivated/determined.

Conclusion - WG will runaway with it at first with too much class for this division.. 2nd/3rd/4th is a open race where I believe the clan with the greater performers in depth will be the winners. Hydra is my dark horse to sweep it all and finish 2nd but Sninja are favourites for me to get 2nd which would be nice as they've been in B for a long while! 5th will be a young-blooded FCC who can easily sneak 3rd/4th if they have hungry positively-tuned players. 6th will be TJC I'm afraid that haven't improved but declined.

Q1:

1. NWO - Benny is a talented player and he can do well in his 3 slots. The challenge Benny will have in making NWO a promoting clan is saving their weapons for C division. They've got the lucky Q1 draw where they don't have much to worry about but they can't be overly complacent. NWO are a strategic orientated clan and they will take clan league seriously so I see them finishing 1st but possibly finish 2nd if they want to save players for C division (second round).

2. The Wizards - Good attitude, I like the clan and they've some players that can give some decent games. Adi Monster has worked tirelessly on the recruiting. Davidhtmk is a quality player and can excel in this Q1 division. They will need to fight and earn this promotion spot ahead of BIA and Prebeun Grande.

3. Prebeun Grande - Really have to go down as a clan that has improved silently alot, Terence Kill is a heavy hitter for them. If he goes on 3 slots.. With some other of their decent players such as Olkani, I would put them as favourites ahead of The Wizards. It's going to be tight. They've improved which is all you can ask for from a clan that is german-community orientated.


4. German Warlords - Will need to be motivated and have their key players perform like Janine , FC Bayern , Gevatter Todd going inactive is why I don't think they promote. Art Vandelay is a quality player who can really get some points for them. I believe FC Bayern the leader will want his clan to do well so they will give it a good go. Can they get beyond any of the 3 clans? If they get the attitude + motivation right, They sure can. That's the difference in these divisions. Who actually wants it the most.

5. Brothers In Arms - The division B experience from CL9 will benefit them. They can be dangerous in some templates (6-0 in China) but they've lost 2/3 players to other clans and I don't think they will be up there. To promote a clan has to be motivated and hungry to promote, I just don't get that sense as much when I compare them to Prebeun Grande or The Wizards. Hit/miss in some templates.

Q2:

1. CORP - Lots of solid players have came from CORP over the years and they still possess some now. What is missing from this squad of solid players is motivation to not get booted and perform well. They have the players to win this division. Psykkoman Baer Nemo.. Tjoex... It's important they get to C division as they need all their good players to give them a decent shot at promoting to B from C.

2. ACME - Solid players with the special diamond in ACL Tears, Without ACL Tears they are a risky proposition to promote but with him they are given a healthy edge against VIW their contenders. I don't see the point in using all your big guns to just get to C division and get demolished.. So I expect ACME to risk it and I think they can scrape it by.

3. VIW - Sound of slience has done a good getting them back to some resurgence.. Is Awesomeguy playing? Considering he's not playing for Lynx.. I see no reason why not tbh.. Fair play to sound of silence but depending on how ACME Lines up.. They would be doing very well to get ahead of ACME to get to division C.

4. Hawks - They are usually a hit/miss clan but I decided to put them in the middle cause fuck it, Why not. They have Let's fight! who are their best player. Him and some of their other members that I had the pleasure of playing with.. Give me hope they can get some points on the board and secure 4th and go for a underdog tag of promoting

5. Avengers - Siema Ziom is a good clan leader, I believe he can have decent players in all the slots and get them going but they lack in too many areas to give a serious shot at promoting to C.

6. The Seven Kingdoms - Roleplaying clan.. Like GoT... Nobody knows what they have.. I doubt not a lot in the strategic sense considering they are a Roleplaying clan. I think they like the looks of clan league and will give it a serious go hence why I think they will get higher than USSR clan.

7. USSR - Diplomacy clan.. Meaning no backstabbing/fighting like the GoT clan. That's why they will finish below the Seven Kingdoms. Diplomacy pussies can't beat GoT backstabbing monsters.

Q3:

1. 101st - Mostly Harmless, Kicorse , Krunx , Mandarb Cowboy .. Depth with players that can do a decent job with Olivix.. pumpkinhead... They've enough to win and promote to division C. What they have to ensure is they don't bottle the line-ups and take their opponents for granted. However it's heavily in their powers to promote out of Q3 with a poor line-up.

2. Apprentice - Min34 , Sloppyfatginger , Koopa troopa.. They don't have the heavyhitters 101st posseses but they are far ahead of their rivals REGL for that 2nd promotion spot. They too must balence their line-up to save it all for division C and do just enough to promote out of Q3.

3. REGL - Little Mouse will need to go on max slots with some assistance from his REGL team-mates from somewhere to have a shot at promoting. I have no doubts that Little Mouse could do the job but he needs the support. If little mouse wasn't in the clan, I would have them 5th/6th.. funny how 1 player can change things :D

4. Decus Praesideum - Small clan of 8 players that I assume are closely connected and active to play Clan League, They play the ladders and they will treat clan league seriously.. Doubt they have the skill to promote but they can finish to a respectable 4th.

5. RP - They seem cute.

6. LEA - They don't seem as cute.

Edited 2/25/2018 20:52:13

Division C:

If my predictions come through.. We get a Division C of...

1. 101st
2. Apprentice
3. NWO
4. CORP
5. ACME
6. Wizards.

My predictions for the final finish:

1. 101st - They have the depth to win both Q3 and Division C. They've the CL9 experience behind them and they will fix their mistakes and reach the promised land of B division. Kicorse + Krunx + Mostly Harmless + Cowboy + Pumpkinhead + Olivix + a few others to give that depth must perform and ensure they don't get booted. They've the tools which is known.. They must deliver with the expectation which can be hard for some players. The players that respond better with pressure are the winners in clan league. But even so 101st have plenty of room for error. They're that good at the moment.


2. Apprentice - They match depth , Will give Division C a good go and I wouldn't be surprised if they won the division. However I could see them falling and not promoting. Good decent players, It's how they will approach clan league in terms of intensity and attitude that will decide how well they do I feel.

3. CORP - They have good players, Just don't get booted. Have the clan league experience, I have a feeling this is the season they can deliver.. They are my dark horse for promotion. Psykoman Baer Nemo can compete with anybody in this division and they will take this seriously. Just that question if they have enough to make it over the promotion line.

4. NWO - Benny may not be a very likeable character but he's one hell of a good clan leader, Though a good clan leader can only carry a clan ever so far without needing reinforcements from his clan-mates. I believe there could be potentially a few that could support Benny in his quest for the holy land in B but I'm yet to see any but lots of time between the C division and you would think NWO would have some promising players within their ranks by then...

5. ACME - They might get into C division but they don't have the depth to make a splash in C division. If they manage to keep ACL Tears for 3 slots here or whatever the max is.. They stand one hell of a shot. But even so.. They lack firepower in other slots that will be exposed if they do make it this far.

6. The Wizards - Making it this far would be a considered succesful season for them. Great CL debut and will
learn alot and give it a better go. They will need to keep their decent players for this stage of the competition which I highly doubt would happen due to them needing their players to get into C in the first place. Even if it was all to go right, I don't think they would promote. I would consider them the Lu Fredd version I suppose.

6. GG
7. MH

A:
Lynx
Masters
Outlaws
VS
One
GG
M'Hunters

Obviously, a ballsy pick to go with Lynx over Masters. Reading between the lines, Masters may struggle for depth this year, hence why I think they'll fall behind Lynx. For me, this is a battle of depth vs brawn. I think Lynx may just have the punch to take it over the line. This'll come down to "squeaky bum time".


B:
WG
Hydra
FCC
Sninja
Stats
TJC

I don't have a whole lot to add to this group that hasn't already been said. A remarkably weak B group this year. I want FCC to surprise me and do well. Again I go with depth over brawn in cases like Sninja and Stats vs Hydra.


Q1:
PreuBen Garde
NWO
BIA
Fudew
Wizards
Warlords

PreuBen Garde I think has a fair amount of potential in what I think might be the closest of the Q groups. NWO has a good shot too. I can either see BR Fudew crushing everyone with their unknown talent or dropping lots of points, especially in team games. I'm going for a mixture of those two options.


Q2:
CORP
ACME
HAWKS
Avengers
VIW
Seven Kingdoms
USSR

CORP should take this Q. ACME and HAWKS will give them a fun for their money, but I think ACME will edge their competitors for 2nd. I think Avengers will be the dark horse here. VIW will be unlucky to drop in the bottom 3 here - they seem better than the other two in their company.


Q3:
101st
Apprentice
REGL
DP
{rp}
LEA

feelsbadman 101st and Apprentice are going to run over this Q. 101st will beat out Apprentice, but nobody else will be close here. I'm rooting for DP here - they seem cool. The bottom 4 here could be anywhere imo.


C:
101st
Apprentice
ACME
CORP
PreuBen Garde
NWO

101st and Apprentice should also take this group. 101st still comfortably, as we have one of the deepest rosters outside of div A. Apprentice might struggle with ACME and CORP, but should also outclass them. I think NWO will do well to get to C in the first place, but will fall short at this hurdle.

Edited 3/5/2018 22:30:27

VS now appear to have Buns157 in their clan along with other key former Turtles.

Edited 3/3/2018 15:27:50

This is my prediction for the CL10:

Division A:

1. Masters

Pretty much the best clan in the last years. They will win unless they dont have unexpected retirees or similar situations.

2. Lynx

I don't know that much about this clan but i've seen some of them in a great performance in some tournaments. I know people like AWESOMEGUY, Dom365, Juan and Hades. #2 place for me.

3. One

Very good clan, they are less known as a clan but they have very good players. Small in members but powerful.

4. Outlaws

Excellent clan. If they work hard together and with a good roster they can even achieve the 2nd place. Krzysztof and Edge the ones I know. This is the clan to watch out.

5. VS

Powerful clan with top names in Warlight like Buns157 and Nackickwind, a mentor of mine. In 1v1 they can achieve big things. With luck, they can get a 3rd or 4th place.


6. GG

GG has good names like MIFRAN and fireice82. Idk whether they can build a successful team.

7. M'Hunters

Great clan, but they have lost many players. I think they will be relegated sadly.

Division B:

1. FCC

Coached by Aura and Clint Eastwood, they will win the Division.

2. Hydra

Powerful clan. I really expect many things from this clan, but I think their main strength comes from members as individuals. I want to see this clan.

3. WG

I know Chris, unknown clan to me.

4. TJC

I know Onoma94, good player but they used to have great teams in many tournaments I played. The clan to watch here.

5. Sninja

Rakleader the big name they have. Also they have kerozin and beerisfood that I invited in the III USSR Cup, decent clan.

6. Stats

Solid team, but I think they got kinda inactive.

Q1:
Wizards
BIA
Prussien Guard
NWO
Fudew
Warlords

I dont know too much about these clans except Wizards who are doing a great job to be a good clan.

Q2:

For ethical reasons, I wont submit a prediction.

Q3:

101st
Apprentice
REGL
rp
DP
LEA

101st, solid clan, they will win this division.

Is TJC doing jount turns? I heard last season they basically review every turn as a clan and then make moves. If so, that makes them dangerous. I also hate that if they are doing it. IMO, that is a violation of template limits. Again, I heard that as a rumor, so I don't know if it is true.

Help in ongoing games

It is prohibited to get help or advice in a Clan League game from any player who is not playing in that game. If this happens, both parties are considered to have transgressed and be subject to potential sanction.

If it is true, it is a violation. But I would like to see proof it is true. Otherwise all it will ever be is speculation.

Nice shitpost, ChrisCUM. And to think that you blacklisted me for trolling. Haha.

Edited 3/9/2018 23:22:22

@Aura: that rule is from CL10. Not Cl9.

@Benoit and Platinum :Nice predictions :)

@Chris: What if I say it is true and there is much more to it? Since it is CL9 and is long gone, nothing can be done (or that is what the Panel has decided). Also, I am not sure if same has been done by some other players from some other clans.

@Onoma: Nice. try to cover up this also ;)
