Warrior General Games

My way too early prediction of the top 4 from each division. Feel free to list your top 4's too.


ALPHA - in no order
Alpha truly is up in the air for anyone to take! Think this could be the most balanced and tough to call as it ever has been. There is no one team that stands out above the rest imo. But my teams that prob have the "best" shot at winning alpha would be the following, and again in no specific order.

1. Portland Rage - Always consistently at the top of WEPL in Alpha. You just have to think that one of these seasons they finally get over the hump and dont choke in the POs.

2. Valhalla Fighting Danes - Again generally always a consistent solid team and as one of the older teams this season they may just have an edge on the younger competition. Think they may lack in the coordinator slot just a little but if they can make the right tweaks I can see them pulling it off.

3. LUX Borg - They could be considered a favorite this season since they are moving down from World League. And based on their roster they look very solid. But with such high levels their EL doesnt reflect good success. I think they will have a strong season and it will come down to if these younger teams can make up the gap and knock them off late. Could see them cruising through the season and getting upset in POs.

4. Golden Cow Misfits - For the fourth team I could have seriously chosen any team. But here I went with the Golden Cow Misfits. Reason is if you're gonna have that much confidence then we need to see them try to back it up. I believe they definitely have the talent on the team but not sure about the drive or motivation yet. There one downfall come PO time is the lack of level 72 gear. I think that could be the one thing to hold them back this season. But look out for them in the next. Possible upset alert team though in the POs. Maybe a Misfit vs any of the 3 teams above could turn into an upset.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ZETA - in no order
Zeta is stronger imo than Alpha but again very tricky as to who will win. It could again go several different ways as several teams are very close. My top 4 however are below in no particular order.

1. Galveston Bar Sharks - I dont know one damn thing about this team but they do have the leagues highest EL rating and were amazing able to fill the entire CPU roster. I dont think I have ever even seen any of the GMs before either so they are a wildcard that people may need to watch out for. If they have good coordinators I could see them coming into WPEL and taking it the first season.

2. London Underground - This team is like Zetas version of Portland Rage. Always very consistent but just havnt gotten over the hump. If they can add a rushing attack to go with their passing they could have an offense that will be very tough to handle and make some noise in the POs. They just need to learn how to win the tough games instead of only winning the ones they "should" win.

3. Five Fingers of Death - They make the top 4 because they are the team that moved down from World League. So they have the talent and coordinating for PRO and know what it takes to win. Dont count these guys out.

4. L.A. Halos - Yeah they may be young but with the advantage of having one single guy own and run the entire team that puts them up a few points. They get their level 72s this season and that could be just enough to push them deep into the POs and with luck win Zeta. Im sure Halo would love to be able to move into WL as fast as possible.

Good Post Corey.

I don't see us being too great early on in the season (with our chemistry/low levels), but I do think come playoff time we could be an interesting team to watch if we can get ourselves in.

Halos are the team I'm watching in Zeta. They have a solid roster, and basically the whole team gets to boost which is going to make them tough to beat. (Especially with one guy owning and running the whole team)

When the Borg won this league two seasons ago I think we had one of the worse effective levels in the league.

Lone Stars will be nasty in Alpha They know what they are doing and I'm glad they aren't in Zeta. They have always given the Halos trouble.

I really have no clue about the league except for the teams that were here last season, and I would like to believe it's wide open on both sides.

I don't think there is another Alpine here but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the write up!

Thanks, and yeah think you guys may be able to get into Round 2 atleast in the POs. And Halos is in the same boat as TLS. As well as a few other teams too like HM and Stallions. TLS holds head to head lead on Halos 4-2 though and 2-1 vs Stallions.

Prob not but I see your point, EL def is not everything.

If it were up to me the finals this season would be TLS vs Halos.

That would be a great game.

Misfits will have level 72 equipment for the playoffs and Galveston and Five Hands are to old to have any chance in the playoffs when teams like Halos or Stop Signs will peak.

thanks corey!

Even the level 65 guys? Are you sure? You think 3 boosts to 68, and then you think they will level 4 times? I wanna say TLS was level 64/65 beginning of last season and we all finished at level 70. Could be wrong though.

Well, first, you don't boost to 68. You wait.

Second, level 53-68 you get 250 XP per game plus the 25 daily XP. So you could get 4800 XP before the playoffs start, then boost. Any dot at 64.200 or higher should hit level 72 for playoffs.

GO OUTSIDE GMATH

and good write-up corey
