I'm bored and don't want to start doing real work yet, so I'm going to throw out my guesses op APL's top 5.
Disclaimer
1) A lot of stuff can still change before the 1st reg ssn game
2) These are just "guesses" for fun and I don't pretend to have high odds of being right
3) If you get POed over this you really need to go and enjoy the outside world for a while
#1 D9, of course. After our absolute throttling of Carthage, Ele's top returning team, we struck such fear in their hearts that they determined merging with another was their only chance of winning Gold. Nothing more needs to be said, yet I will.
#2 Carthage, a very good team last ssn, this ssn's version is absolutely prime age to make another run. Their effective lvls look good and if their open build at G is indicative, they are. Frankly, they better win up this ssn, or face a massive rebuilding process the following, minus the incentive of WL.
#3 Warthogs...Sure, they're young, but I challenge anyone to find a roster of more solid builds at any position. Don't waste your time. You can't. You teams in Ele better hope to get these guys early. Because of their age, they promise to get nothing but better as each day's worth of XP adds up. I sure the hell wouldn't want to play them from week 12 on through the POs.
#4 Sons of Anubis is a very talented and well run team. If RL cooperates enough to allow kmm to focus for an entire ssn, this group of dots may well take the entire cake and eat it too.
#5 Sahara Storm....See Carthage, with a little more age diversity. a Team that made some noise in their 1st ssn in APL looks to make more this ssn.
Honorable mentions:
If DSL can finish off his team with quality dots, it'd be foolish to fail to mention JJ. The giant killers have the ability to get every ounce of production from their dots. The same can be said for the Pirgos & Carthaginian War Elephants. Finally, all of the new teams. Odds are good that at least one of you deserve to be in the top 5. I just don't know enough about you to guess which.
