Alright i'll kick off a way too soon version of this.
Disclaimer: The following is based on whats happening right now. A lot can happen between now and then. So keep your torches unlit, your pitch forks in the barn, and buckle up because this will be one hell of a ride.
1) Zero Fox Given- My alliance. Inb4 gold whores, simmers, and "past worlds don't mean anything in Lato".
2) The Purge- O44 based. Good working next best average in the top five. I see some good players on this roster. Swim
3) ThePlague- O44/O55 based. Also good coring, I think a twin alliance of The Purge. But I could be wrong. If so, then the purge dropped in a lot of players tightly. If not, then I think they just became a buffer between Purge/ZFG. Swim if allied to TP, Sink if not.
4) PRO SQUAD- WHY ARE WE YELLING? LARGELY SPREAD OUT IN O54, O45, AND O44. THESE GUYS LOOK LIKE THEY'LL BE IN FOR A ROUGH START LETS SEE IF THEY CAN SURVIVE. SINK.
5) Anonymous Empire- Looks like they're in O45/O55. I recognize a few names here. They do have the weakest of the top five averages. Float.
6) 300.- Spread around in O54 and barely ahead of PRO SQUAD in average. A bad start out of the blocks for these guys. But there's still another four days for these guys to recover. But this is a bad region to get a bad start in. So for now I gotta predict they'll come up short and sink.
7) It Burns When We Grep- Keeping it objective, they're in O45, well cored, currently looks like they'll take it easily. Swim.
8) Devil's Brigade- They're in O45/O55. They have a decent average. A few decent players. It'll be an interesting match up with #7 but I think IBWWG out gains them and doesn't look back in O45. Float then sink.
9) Pink Fuzzy Unicorns- Based in O55 and has a strong looking roster and the second highest average. This team will take over O55 I believe. Swim.
10) Dragonborn- Third worst average of the top 12. Don't know many people on this list and their founder has less points than me. Sink.
11) Royal Guardians- Worst average of the top 12. Bunched up in an ocean where you probably don't want to have the worst average (O44). Sink.
12) Darkness- The future is dark for these guys. To be fair they only have one real competitor in O45 and one dark horse. Unfortunately both those teams currently are looking better than these guys. Sink.
Dark Horse: InActive looks like it has some players coming up quickly. They're based in O45 and I think they'll swim there a bit.
