1. Florida Frenzy: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=686
11-5 record last season, and reigning WL champion. Their kryptonite is WLE Odyssey but they can sleep knowing Odyssey is back in Natty Pro this season.
2. Orlando Prime Timers: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=49
WL Silver last season and two ships before that. Solid team.
3. C-Town MF'n Hood: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=2071
11-5 record last season before getting upset by BiA in rd1 of the playoffs. This is the only team who have stopped the VoRC (Virus of Ryan Cane) in the last 6 seasons (12 months real life time), so perhaps they can discover the true cure.
4. Brothers in Arms: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=396
Final-4 last season. Mauler is down to 1 WL team. Does the inability to collude, cheat & trade wins with his own teams cause BiA's downfall? Or will the embarrassment of all his other teams demoting cause him to learn how to run an offense that's not bottom 4 in the league? Time will tell, but an interesting plot to a straight to TV movie is brewing here!
5. Miami Red Hawks: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=509
After last seasons screen interception-fest in a playoff loss, Tomcic was quoted saying "maybe it is time for a change". Will the best passing OC in the game take off his underwear and go commando on the WL this season? Perhaps...
6. Tyrrhenian Sea Wasps: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=4132
Would any ranking be complete without me overrating the team I'm coordinating? Sorry VoRC if you want all top4 teams, make your own crappy rankings! TSW has good dots, a DC with multiple WL championships, and an OC who had the #1 offense in WL last season (regular season ldo). Perhaps this is the year the jellyfish become the wemakeyoujelly-fish. jajajaja.
7. War Machine: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=467
I think these guys learned something in their S91 6-10 WL season and are going to take a step forward against the old guard here. Offense seemed generally impressive the last time up here, but the D was a bit leaky.
8. The 4th Street Gang: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=134
Final-4 finish last year with the #1 regular season offense and #1 regular season defense. They'd be higher, but the full team is in decline (though some have pointed out temp boosts > decline for awhile), and they fired their celebrity guest star OC in what can only be described as the worst decision a GLB team has ever made in the history of GLB.
9. Nomad Nation: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=1213
The 3x WL champs and 6x WL runner ups no doubt return to WL with a chip on their shoulder. Agency's last WL championship was s70 (around 3.7 years ago real life time) so you have to wonder if the game has passed Agency by at this point.
10. Asau Golden Eagles: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=483
This feels too low for a team that was WL silver in s91 and a top contender last year, but looking at the roster you can feel them as the clear #3 team is getting crunched with older dots a bit.
11. Jersey Showboats: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=316
VoRC's clear #4 team. I'm pretty positive this team was never intended to make it to WL and make the WL playoffs, but keeping 4 WL playoff teams underlines who WL's top OC/DC is at the moment as well as generally all the dotbuilders doing the heavy lifting. Still, a roster that has several d480 players, I have to believe is not bulletproof and we see them take a step back this season.
12. Grey Bandits: https://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=559
Someone has to be last. I think this team has some fight in them, but WL tends to not be too forgiving to teams that go 13-3 in Natty Pro then get a playoff upset.
==============
Overall, this looks to be an extremely competitive WL season, and I view 10/12 teams as legit contenders for playoff spots and playoff success beyond that! The question still, in the end, is can anyone stop VoRC, or will their reign of death and destruction continue?
