Power Rankings
rank #7
The Devastating Duskulls | Players: sparktrain / nineage / fender / fiend / sken / coconut / melon / nudisto / boo836 / kopaka / marvelous / aladyyn / healndeal / unfixable / cydrolic / water_drone / bughouse
I really don't understand what levi was doing in the draft. He just drafted a bunch of average LC players. All are decent players and would make good benchwarmers on most teams, but when your star players are sken and boo836, you know something is a little bit wrong.
rank #6
The Terrifying Timburrs | Players: fatty / joltage / apt-get / atomicllamas / ggggd / pikasohn / majaspic22 / tesung / imanalt / idiotfrommars / soldier
after levi's team, all the rest are actually pretty equal, which is gonne make for an exciting tournament. However, quote's comes in second to last. fatty and apt-get are solid buys. llamas, ggggd, majaspic, joltage should all perform pretty well, and he has some solid tour players with tesung and ifm if he manages to get them to play. not bad by any means, but it doesn't have the same star quality as the rest.
rank #5
Los Mambos | Players: cased / zoroarkforever / celestavian / darkfire99 / rumor / v / praj.pran / hikari / amaura / 49
mambo has built up a decent team here. I wouldn't like to go against any of cased/zf/hawkstar. mambo, amaura, hikari should be decent too, whilst darkfire99 is a dark horse. v and praj.pran will also be good for team morale
rank #4
Snivy Subterfuge | Players: mad0ka / cheek / tricking / raseri / vileman / cheir / h&mberkeley / antemortem / absdaddy
Jac has some good players here. expect mad0ka and tricking to do really well in ORAS, whilst he has the other metas filled up with ras on dpp, himself/cheir on lcuu, vileman on bw, and then possibly putting abs into tangma. solid squad overall and playoff contenders. dark horses of the tournament.
rank #3
The Mighty Morphin Power Tirtougas | Players: lasagne / sweep / flcl / galbia / sam / -tsunami- / tomohawk / anty / nails / thecrystalonix / john76 / d4rr3n / boufallant / nova / metaphysical / anttya / innovamania
macle's taem is actually pretty solid with a strong core of good players in sweep/flcl/galbia/-tsunami-/tomahawk/nails, and a there might be a couple of dark horses in there. definitely a playoff team if they can somehow source out teams, because there's not really any good lc teambuilders, besides sweep.
rank #2
The Squirtle Squad | Players: trash / heysup / tuo / omastar42 / blarajan / the_avalanches / goao / vermillion / jellicent / kavatika / meritt
This team is pretty scary to face. vermillion project in dpp, tuo in bw, blarajan on tangma, and omastar42 in lcuu means all other metas have solid people on. add an oras core of heysup, obviouspower and goao, then you have a winning team. his bench is where he is let down, with only the avalanches being that good and reliable. jellicent is unproven at lc, kavatika and trash are a bit inactive, and idk how good merritt really is.
rank #1
Aipom Army | Players: fitzy72 / tazz / rzl2000 / kingmidas / shrug / trev / kumih0 / the_quasar / fran17 / yagura / kingler12345 / firemage
yes, i put my team on #1 because i'm biased. still though we have some fucking lords in this team with fitzy, tazz and kingmidas all being top players. the lord kumiho for dpp, and 3 italians for some easy luck. also got the trashtalk core of midas+shrug for some quality salt. yagura is a solid pick for oras/uu, and rzl, kingler, and firemage are the cutest players in lcpl.
