1. Masters
One of their stronger line ups in the past few years. Also helps that some of their competitors line ups are weaker than usual. I expect mod, timi, and rufus to have some stellar performances.

2. FCC
The defending champs! Unfortunately they don't look as good on paper. Xeno on 3 team slots could be really good or it may backfire. These newer templates could swing a lot of things.

3. ONE!
Without Buns and Pardon, ONE will struggle to make the podium.

4. LuFredd
The up and comers from Group B! I like their depth. I think they'll put in the effort to perform well and could upset a lot of games. Would be great to see them stay in Group A.

5. Python
One of the most star studded clans on the site being ranked 5th?! Well I've been gone for a while and when I look at their current roster, some of their big name stars are missing. (Namely timon92 and AI). No one is playing more than 2 slots, I hope activity isn't a concern or factor in doing that. That said, their line up has depth and they are all solid players. Just might be more of a struggle season than in the past.

6. WG
One of the oldest clans on Warlight is still kicking. People have been picking them to relegate from Group A for the better part of 10 years. I'd love to see them upset a bunch of games and send someone else down to Group B but I don't see it. We've been saying for a while that WG needs new blood. They've gotten some new players but not having Phobos in the line up hurts. Again, I've been gone a while so seeing a line up without Summer makes me question their opportunity for success. I suspect Reza to have a strong showing on Great Lakes.

7. Hawks
Don't know a ton about these guys, I glanced at a few profile and no one stood out as "elite". That said, they avoided relegation last season so they know how to take some wins off these other top clans. I predict Dreamworker, former Lynx member, will go winless in Timid Lands.

I mean considering the last time WG was in A they relegated, and spent CL9 and CL10 not in A at all, I'd say they're not far off about WG lol

[u]Division A[/u]

1. Fifth Column Confederation - the merger with Two Steps from Hell brought in some heavy hitters like Ursus and Yelo, to what was already the winning team last season.

2. ONE! - there, too, the merger of ONE! with SNinja - both winning clans from previous seasons - created a really strong line-up. All the biggest stars of both clans feature (including FiveStarGeneral who I thought was inactive).

3. MASTER Clan - still the clan with MoD, Timinator, and Rufus in it. It's disappointing though that there is almost none of the new recruits playing.

4. Lu Fredd - fresh newcomer to the division A. Will probably have a lot of motivation, in addition to the already proven skill.

5. HAWKS - the VS alts and let's fight will keep the clan up. This also might be the last season for HAWKS to have the VS alts.

6. Python - this clan is like a tired, old, and re-united marriage. The players weren't chosen by skill, but by who doesn't want to play the least. I suggest retirement.

7. WG - some of these players were offline for months, when I was checking that 2 weeks ago. That says enough.

[u]Division B[/u]

1. Discovery - the merger with Two Steps from Hell refreshed the line-up a lot, so it's not just FCC B. This is a completely different team than the one that finished third in C last season.

2. French Community
3. M'Hunters
4. GG - honestly I'm throwing darts here. Three clans of a similar level.

5. 101st - certainly able to win games.

6. CORP - if they keep up their game on their skill level, they should win games. Though we know that CORP has a long story of underperforming...

7. Blitz - repeating the same two jokes about Blitz for two years is just not funny no more.

[u]Division C[/u]

1. V.I.W. - no big changes from the previous seasons really. Ilpeggiore, lineal, Chazz are still there so they should perform.

2. Statisticians - unlike previous season, they really little competition IMO and I can't justify putting them below clans like BIA or TLA by some slots not having Math Wolf or BelSon.

3. Varangian Guard - they have good players in ONOMAGO and koso, who should make a difference here.

4. Brothers in Arms - they were so close to relegation, but they were saved by PE's boots. Otherwise, they are basically the same skill level each season.

5. Vikinger - they have Dr. Love, who used to be a bit unreliable in CL, but if he plays on his level, they should be ok.

6. The Last Alliance - merging with Hydra just two seasons ago is already barely visible, and where are the refugees from Two Steps from Hell? Just a weak lineup, sadly.

7. The Hodopian Dynasty - additional promotion from division D, where their performance was.. nothing special.

[u]Division D[/u]

1. Polish Eagles - duh. The only full clan that competes for promotion in D. As long, as we don't get boots again...

2. GRANDMASTER Clan - Turtle and Cowboy used to play in division A, but they are also big boot risks. We will see, how it goes.

3. VS - their best players are still playing division A, so keep that in mind when expecting them to be anywhere near their division A glory.

4. Partisans - the rebelling players from Vikings of two seasons ago. Will have to prove if they are worth more than the place I predict them to finish at.

5. The Boiz Army - no USSR or Laboratory to finish below them.

"I mean considering the last time WG was in A they relegated, and spent CL7-CL10 not in A at all, I'd say they're not far off about WG lol"

Not sure what Cowboy is talking about. We were 4th in CL7, 7th in CL8 (relegated to B after). We stayed in B for a season, then promoted in 10. In CL11 we got 4th.

Do I predict us to win, no. But we shall try, and we are better than the skeptics try to paint us.

My bad. Murtle's post looks like ya'll have always been in A tho
