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.

1. Masters
2. Lynx
3. ONE!
4. Outlaws
5. VS
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.

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 ;)

As for last season I wouldn't know as I wasn't in TJC, however, I am playing for TJC this season and we have no plans to cheat in any way so you need not worry.

My bad, i guess it was 7th heaven that i was told did that.

Sorry for the mixup

Hm, so last season the French community and the Turtles dropped from A and they immediately dropped out of the league and apparently kinda disbandoned. So where does M'Hunters fit within the mercenary clans? Has it really come down to this?

1. Manchester City
2. TSG 1899 Hoffenheim
3. VFL Wolfsburg
4. Paris Saint Germain
5. #Elite
6. Red Bull Leipzip
7. M'Hunters

I don't think so. We keep training more great players than we have clan league spots. We don't need any superstars coming to our clan but us playing in A is thanks to our great junior work. As always prepare for lotsa "nobodies nobody has ever heard off" kicking some serious butt for our team.

Are you one of those nobodies?

At any rate, my point is that should not be allowed in CL10, doesn't matter who did it in CL9. Players should be expected to take their own turns, and coordinate only with anyone that is on their team IN THAT GAME. Otherwise why even have roster mins at all?

it is against the rules, and what you propose is also what is the current rule...... if you want to read the wording of the rule for this then you can find it on the cl clots main page

Edited 3/11/2018 22:03:57

As someone who has very limited knowledge of most clans and no idea about who's doing well out there currently I feel my predictions will be highly accurate and well valued by the strat community.

Division A
Masters
Lynx
One
GG
Outlaws
VSlandic T-VS-rtles
Master Hunters

Masters have a good strat policy of recruiting the best players on the game and that should ensure they win CL10.
Lynx are pretty solid and I hope they manage to beat Masters but I think they'll fall short this season.
One are probs my favourite clan in this division for no real reason whatsoever. (Probs because their players are great but they're kinda chill and modest about it.) Anyhow they'll do well here.
GG - Don't have anything to say about GG.
Outlaws - It's nice seeing a new face around here. I reckon these guys will avoid relegation but that's about it.
VS - Unless the cap on number of tournaments is lifted and Buns is allowed to play every template I don't think they'll survive here.
MH - Good luck guys!

Division B
WG
SNinja
Hydra
TJC
FCC
Stats

WG are great and should promote with their roster. Smiley may be gone for them but Oh Noes and SuperSmoove will be good additions to help them win here.
SNinja is a strategic clan whose outlook is on competitive play and friendship. Kinda like WG, but not quite good enough to win the division. (They're a great clan and should do well)
Hydra, TJC and FCC are all good, I think 3rd to 5th could go any way. I like that people think TJC suck at the moment and we'll miss some of our heavy hitters from last season ( :'( ) but our merge with Glorious Vipers will hopefully keep our depth good enough to compete here.
Stats are great but probably will be lacking depth this season. But then stats always seem to do well so they'll probs cause lots of upsets and maybe will avoid demotion.

Q1
Most of these teams are well matched, Some stand out players throughout each clan in the division and other clans with great depth. I think things will end like this:

NWO
Wizards
BIA
German Warlords
Preußen Garde
BR Fudew

Q2
Hawks will seriously outclass every other clan in this division. They clearly should have just promoted Hawks to Division B at the end of last season. Regardless this will be the season in which they start their long journey to Division A and inevitably the CL title in Season 12. CORP is the only clan that will give hawks any competition and will grab the other slot in Division C Also some other clans exist here: (Such as avengers who are great).

Hawks
CORP
Avengers
Acme co.
USSR
Seven Kingdoms

Q3
Apprentice and 101st are clear favourites to promote here. 101st's ability to poach players will make them tough to beat in this qualifying division (Although Apprentice will beat them easily). Unfortunately due to them being puppet clans of lynx and masters they will inevitably implode in two seasons time when they come into contact with their cruel owners after easily brushing aside lesser competitors. The other clans may also compete in this division although I know little about them or their players, Hopefully they will upset one of the aforementioned clans. The RP guild meanwhile really don't seem to have a clear understanding of their clan's purpose is and have entered CL10.

Apprentice
101st

The League of Erroneous Aspirations
Decas Praesidium

Hope you found my predictions enlightening and amusing!

- Thanks for Onoma below correcting my lack of knowledge...

Oh Noes addition? He's been in WG for years :P And he's not on the roster.
