WAY TOO EARLY CHAMPION: Miners
For 2 seasons now, DctGti has found his spot at the top of Indy and A, and I don’t expect this to be any different. As they move from Genesis to the Miners this offseason, they return with 3/4 players from last season's 15-3 Genesis team and add Konr, who won on Genesis in season 19. It’s hard to bet against Voakes, DC, and Konr, but anything could happen.
WAY TOO EARLY SLEEPER: Leopards
This team is full of a ton of solid veterans like Ezio and LittleBacon. Ezio is coming down from 2a last season and I would bet on him being the team MVP this time around. For some reason I have this feeling that this Leopards team will be either hit or miss to an extreme degree, top 4 or missing playoffs would not surprise me either way at the end of this season.
1. Miners
2. Titans
3. Wranglers
4. Rattlers
5. Pelicans
6. Gulls
7. Snowmen
8. Ravens
9. Leopards
10. Stallions
11. Tempest
12. Embers
13. Cardinals
14. Cougars
15. Genesis
16. JestersDouble A - TDS Richard
WAY TOO EARLY CHAMPION: Voyagers
I expect the Voyagers to go 17-1. I’ve heard that Kizbey was a high 1700 player. Mike MMI has been in RLPC for quite a time and is known as a player of higher skill. Crazyninja and Sentz also of AAA caliber. This team is just an absolute powerhouse. As long as they put any time at all into scrims. The only thing stopping them is themselves.
WAY TOO EARLY SLEEPER: Pythons
-1. Voyagers
This team is an absolute powerhouse, no way around it. Kizvy, Sentz, ThatchyRat, and Mike MMI most likely being the cut down roster. All 4 of these players could go to another team and instantly make that team a playoff contender. This is a championship or bust team.
-2. Herons
Another powerhouse team, this team In my opinion is the only team that has the chance to contend as strong with the Voyagers. With Jaydee being a AAA all star from the previous season, along with ReVii, Yetz, and Scapow. This team has a power duo with Jaydee and ReVii playing. I look forward to them wreaking havoc this season. Championship Contender forsure.
-3. Avalanche
The Avalanche is the first team that looks like they belong in AA as the strongest team. If it wasn’t for the 2 teams above being together. Leading the way will be Ol Dirty Dirty, our beloved coach. Along with OnePopShop, tmdt, Simply Aj, and ThaWoody for now. Not sure how they will cut the roster but from what I see it doesn’t matter. Ol dirty dirty and tmdt should be the power duo for the team along with very strong AA players. I don’t see this team losing many series. Definitely see them as another Championship Contender.
-4. Dukes
This has been the same roster for I feel like all 21 previous seasons. Hypnotiic and Forht have been teammates in RLPC for countless seasons and will continue their stride with fellow teammates Noremac and xDracO0. This team will just win the majority of their games. Not a team that will make a lot of mistakes and should be the last Championship Contender I have my eyes set on this season. Don’t jump to avoid them.
-5. Pulsars
With a roster of Yuuki Lyoko, Pineapples, Smxy and olichoo. This team can easily be a championship contender by the end of the season. They have a super well rounded top player team with and will definitely punish all mistakes. They can easily prove me wrong and be higher but we will see. I have them locked in the playoffs.
-6. Falcons
Leading the way is the only player I’ve seen being Jolt along with Masn, Arnation, and Jax. I put this team here based on pure speculation. I really don’t have much on them but they have higher mmr players and if they play as well as Jolt all together. I can see this team being a lock in playoffs.
-7. Warriors
Leading this roster is Causing along with Scrxpz, VertDaFerc, and ayLucho. Causing has been in the league a very long time and should be a top 10 player this season in AA stat wise. Scrxpz and Vert have potential to farm assists and saves working with Causing as they have a real shot at playoffs and possibly better.
-8. Barracuda
The Barracuda currently have KAYO, el guapo, Summit, alpacawithaids, and Sythe. I know a few of these players and don’t see why they don’t have a shot at the playoffs. KAYO is a very strong core to this team and I can’t wait to see how they all play together. This team should be a playoff contender.
-9. Lynx
I look forward to the Lynx this season. They have Donald, a player in which my favorite and most likely best playoff experience was against. Along with RealAstonish, .Kao, and crstn. I know this team can easily be higher but I haven’t seen them play. They should be a playoff contender.
-10. Bandits
I’m putting this team 10th purely because of the amount of players they have. Currently the roster is an astonishing 8 players and I will fail to name them all. I have them even this high because they can easily pick out the best players of 8 and find a strong enough team to make the playoffs. Goodluck trimming and I look forward to an actual roster.
-11. Pythons
I can easily be so wrong on this team. With a roster of Bemar, Falsefacts, DragonOftTheWest, and Dxrk. I don't know anything about this roster but generally they have a higher mmr team then a lot of the league. This team is a wild guess for me.
-12. Jaguars
This roster has a few vets and I can see them fighting and making playoffs. With a roster of Legend, Raid, Grandly, and Toaninja. These lower tier teams could easily prove me wrong, especially this one with the experience they have. This is a higher level of play than usual for this roster from what I know but they can easily fight into playoffs.
-13. Mustangs
Well well well, my team. I have 0 clue if we are going to be good. With a roster of TDS Richard, Shamsriel, Wheat, and am phrog. We have a very low mmr team and should be a free win for the top tier teams but we have played better than expected in scrims. Hopefully in a few weeks when I do the midseason follow up for this I can be wrong and we will be fighting for a playoff spot but for now I have us at 13th.
-14. Inferno
I suspect this team to be higher with a roster of SilentWolf, Mintwerd, Chocolate Milk, and Nugg. We personally have played this team in a scrim and I feel as overall we were stronger, to be fair it was just a scrim. But still from the small details we were seeing while playing i can't see them being much better than us and i have us low. I could easily be just as wrong with this but we will see.
-15. Lightning
The Lightning currently have a roster of 5 players being Cubnuts, boltend, Freshtm, GUGA UNO TIMERZ, and Moxen. From what I've seen from this roster so far they are on the weaker side of the league although I'm not positive they've figured out their starters and got practice with it. I hope I'm wrong since I hate having to put teams this low.
-16. Vultures
ANNND last but certainly not least, the Vultures. Going to be honest. I don't know any of these players and certainly have 0 clue on how good this team is. This team could be this low or a top 5 team. I really just don't know. With the current roster being okeanoz., bry, and chapped. I look forward to y'all this season and can't wait to be proven wrong.
Triple A: - Fl1p
WAY TOO EARLY CHAMPION: Entropy
WAY TOO EARLY SLEEPER: Bobcats
1 - Entropy - Potentially two top 10 players in the league on the same team, pretty self explanatory.
2 - Trojans - 3 really solid players that play with each other all the time. Chemistry is there and so is individual skill. Interchangeable with #1.
3 - Pioneers - again 2 great players and a really solid third, not to mention the previous chemistry from the duo that has already won 2 chips together. Could fall apart if Tman's pc is bricked.
4 - Knights - Ryan and Oibu are a timeless pair in this, two potential all stars with higher peaks than almost anyone in the league. Will be a strong team this season.
5 - Dolphins - Cxl and Viper provide a solid core, they will be a solid team this season and an easy playoff contender.
6 - Tundra - Their roster is very unclear as of now, but they do have a lot of talent to work with. Could be a playoff contender. Very interchangeable with the next 3 teams.
7 - Raiders - Solid core with the potential carry of Butterz. The individual skill on this roster could be up for question but their chemistry can not. Playoff contention team for sure.
8 - Bobcats - Mdgoat and mythic are gonna have to carry old man Coffee, he is unbelievably washed but if they can get him to 15 hrs past two they could be a strong playoff team. 6-9 range.
9 - Osprey - Solid core in kryp, it's not clear what the final roster will look like but they have some talent on the roster. could be 6-9.
10 - Tigers - Not sure what to make of this roster, they have some potential. Maybe a run to the playoffs.
11 - Vipers - Decent team with some solid players but nobody that stands out. Could make a playoff berth.
12 - Bulldogs - Foam the old head, we'll see just how washed he is. These guys have the potential to be a solid playoff team but I need to see it to believe it.
13 - Thunder - I don't have too much faith in this roster, but competition is tight this season, outside shot at playoffs.
14 - Heat - One of the bottom three teams for sure. Not much upside to this roster honesty, there are some newer names that could surprise though.
15 - Geese - Joker is about the only positive thing I can say about this roster. Good luck.
16 - Owls - I don't even see a full roster yet on the sheets. The two players they do have don't particularly stand out. Could be a wildcard once they have a full roster who knows.
