I understand that division B has finished all its games, but could we please move all off topic discussion out of this thread? People may still actually have relevant things to say, and this nonsense disrupts that.

Thank you.

I agree, like previewing next season.

VS, WG, SNinja staying put.

Looks like right now Blitz and French will be falling to B.

7th Heaven and FCC off to early leads in C so far, long way to go though.

Good to see WG picking up in activity again. Curious about Blitz though, do they even have any management right now?

Hi,

Do you know something which I don't know?

Doubt it

Hi,

"Good to see WG picking up in activity again"

Do you know something which I don't know?

Right now it's minimal, but they have actually picked up a recruit for one, and have showed more life (activity wise), than before the start of CL9.

They won't be getting back to Div A anytime soon (unless players returns or WG decides to bring in 5 or 6 good recruits), but considering many predicted them to drop out of CL by next season, it's something.

Are Alts really "new" recruits?

We picked up one alt and one new recruit

WG are sleeping giants in the league. Great history and to be fair.. Great competitive players that can put it on. Other clans simply wanted to promote more then WG and it showed clearly. New blood is the cure for this type of thing it prevents the old members turning stale like bread. 1 recruit and a alt is not going to work.

I imagine them to do better in division B for the simple reason I imagine B to be more weaker generally speaking and WG to be more ambitious to be promoted back to A.

VS and 7th Heaven will challenge that though... I suspect in CL10.

I think B will be much stronger in CL10 and like you said, VS, 7th and whoever finished 2nd of the current division C will be hungry for top places in B. Not to mention BIA and VIW, 2 of the relatively weaker clans will be relegated to Qualifiers groups. Also, Sninja improved themselves annexing most of Vikings members. And whoever comes from A (other than Blizt) will be hard to handle and Blizt maybe themselves could be good in B if they rebuild enough and their former top players play for them as alts. WG better be prepared for CL10 because it won't get easier in my opinion, far from it. 7th Heaven might be even better in CL10 than they are right now in CL9 imo.

This is how I imagine B to be next season in CL10.

7th Heaven
FCC/Hydra (I will say FCC for now tho)
VS
Sninja
WG
Blitz
French

Blitz and French won't be having a huge revival anytime soon I suspect and in this league you need to be improving not declining so I don't think they promote.

VS will want to promote and have the players with the attitude.. They will challenge.

WG have ChrisCMU posting on this thread.. When I see a leader do this I expect them to be hungry for blood... So I expect a bit more of a rejuvenated squad at the very least a improved one with the "1 new recruit and 1 alt" backed with their skill can challenge top 2.

Sninja I think they are shooting up but I still believe they lack depth and general skill for a promotion push.

FCC or Hydra.. I think Hydra won't challenge top 3.. They don't focus on CL as a core activity for the clan and won't recruit specifically for it. So they lack skill here imo even with Waka as their best recruit in the last season or so?? FCC have potential to maybe go for it but Pardon in Masters.. Smoove ... They can easily fall flat on their face. I don't think they can push for it either.

7th Heaven. They are going to do it.. I think they will work their asses off and I think their formula might work in B although I personally think not in A but with the skill in B I think they can challenge top 3.

So essentially I expect 3 clan race.. WG + VS + 7th Heaven.. Sninja + FCC/Hydra + French + Blitz and a 4 clan race for relegation. This is a rough division of clans into 2 groups. Fair to note 1 clan will surprise everybody probably.

I guess we'll have to see how much French or whoever is relegated from A wants to go back to A. Same thing for whoever comes out 2nd of that CL9 Division C. VS can do better if they put forth their best possible line-up also. Any way we can put it, WG will have to be hungry and discipled to get 1st or 2nd of that stacked division in my opinion. Regarding 7th Heaven, I think they could be possibly 5th of division A if they would be in there next season.

VS will probably play ,like we did in the previous seasons, with max members possible. After all we are an autonomous collective except a monarchist islamohater. We are looking forward to a highly competitive season with close rankings and hopefully freedom of speech.

let it go

I don't þink Blitz is going to go back... unless ðe latest recruiting of some alt accounts does indeed foresay its return, I just consider it dissolved. Almost whole lineup + much of ðe backup is gone to oðer clans. Whereas I þought French has more activity inside ðan just the CL lineup, but not really on ðat skill level (we still have a clan battle going on xD).

I would say next season's div B to be 7th Heaven, FCC, French Co., Sninja, {TJC}/Hydra, VS, WG (unless French is out as well)

7th Heaven will now finally meet teams on its level. Ðey seem to be favourites, but how well will ðey actually do? On ðe oðer hand, how many would predict WG to be so outplayed by both VS and M'H?

FCC has Pardon gone... I don't know, ðeir best players will compete well with oðer, but we will see.

Hydra seems kind of laid back, wiþ lots of good players, but no real star (maybe wakanarai or Python's Koala?). Ðey will have a hard time in div B for sure.

Sninja was always getting by by having two "stars" (rakleader and Jaymer), so Vikinger absorption will help them a lot. But like WG, won't likely promote.

{TJC} goes þru hard times, with players retiring. If ðey will end up here, ðey will have it very rough.

VS was already close ðis season.

WG doesn't seem to make any progress, no players returning, no upcoming stars, low activity elsewhere. Ðey will give some good games, but hardly compete for promotion.

Yeah, this will be an interesting division. But ðat will be in 2019. ;P

Congrats GG :)
