Here are my unbiased pre-signup power rankings. Also heres the criteria I'm using for it

Star Power: Very notable players who’ve had great results
Chemistry: Do they not hate each other?
Supporting Cast: People who aren’t star players + building support
Managing: Presumed managers and thier ability to make the team the best

I'd do 5-8 but I already have a 50$ bounty on my head and don't want that increased. Without further ado, here are my rankings. Gotta say that this is very contested, especially 1-3, so don't hate on me if I put you at #3 with S chem.

#1 South Europe - Aka Frita + Spain

Star Power: S/S-
Chemistry: A+
Supporting Cast: A+
Managing: B+

This is easily the best team on paper. Powerhouse SS with XSC/Lancer/Denis, top 3 SM with Close + LBDC, and Stableprince569 as a BW. Only thing they lack is an ORAS if XSC/Lancer prefer current gen and last gens DPP, who was Togeli, doesn’t seem to be active anymore. Of course, Joel is a great DPP player who can play on this team, but I don’t think they’ll sign up. Also, Frita managers are decent but stable + someone else isn’t the best it could be, no hate.

#2 East Europe:

Star Power: S
Chemistry: A+
Supporting Cast: A/A+
Managing: A

Really nice team. Easily the best-projected oldgens with Inkreativ + 187 Fan + Solar along with good SS/SM with ggopw + neomon + Blazikin. They all really like each other and should be fine with ggopw + neomon managing if rosa doesn’t block it. I really just wonder who's playing the other SS slots.

#3 Central US + Latam

Star Power: A
Chemistry: S/S-
Supporting Cast: A
Managing: B+

This team will probably be the most fun to be on. They have probably the best SS factoring in support with nalei and the rookie core of ziozio + crucify. They also have top 3 SM with Lkjc + Squirtell, along with nice oldgens in ryy + alive + LRXC. Nalei wasn't the most successful in PL but I feel whoever's chosen as co will compliment them a good amount. I do find a little problem with their lack of oldgen subs but I doubt LRXC + alive won't show them the ropes.

#4 US East

Star Power: A
Chemistry: A+
Supporting Cast: A-
Managing: B+

US East is a very fun team to be on if you don't mind the outside hate. They also have top 3 SM with the best support in this gen. Pretty nice oldgens in Robyn + Yami + James + Power + ayedan + Yours truly. TDA seems to be one of the obvious managers of choice, and he's recently lead his PL team to finals, so it seems good in that area. Their main problem is lack of developed SS, gotta say.


As always, thanks for reading and have a nice day. Mubs out.

you mark EEU and FRITA+Spain basically same if not EEU better yet you put EEU 2nd? im trying to find the logic here but seems to not exist tbh

Banned deucer.
demigod will bless you all with rankings



1. FRITA
1590589913122.png


probs the best team that doesn't need ghosting to succeed. xsc denis lancer/random spicy ss, with the complementary core of LBDC and CLOSEXY, thye go together like italy and withdrawing from wars. the old gens of this tour is even better with formerly banned user toadandhishaxx and the NEW IMA "stableprince569" who BROKE ima's INSANE record in pl 3, but we all know after that pl ima did dog in every other tour he played bw. will stable be the same?!? some say their dpp is bad, but i say ney Tom824 is on the DPP council so we all know he is the goat. their bench has acii bro, imagine your bench having the guy who got the most points in classic. the only way this team loses is due to incompetence, which as we saw last year could happen.

2. EASTERN EUROPE
1590590277993.png

after being ripped apart from their amazing friends eeu has surprisingly got better with the core of Ggopw + neomom + solarflareromanian. Ggopw who is force of nature in 1v1 that can not be stopped, any meta this man touches he goes positive. Neomonster the absolute goat after choking in 1v1 pl like 4 times and in tier breaker when he got actually stomped by stableprince in bw this guy should never leave swsh. Solarflare is the main carry for BW this team since he can not physically lose, even after throwing the first two games he still comes back with the 3-2. then you got the supporting duo of inkreativ and 187 fan(aren't they the same anyway lol) who are good at dpp and oras respectively. although they will need more players for swsh and sm. new recruits like PersephoneXIV and Eblurb will be menacing threats, as well as old faces like Blazkin, MotoGP and GeneralGunderson whom all 3 had not lost a game this premier league.

3. CENTRAL
1590590710111.png

how a team goes from bottom seed to finals contender is beyond me. their swsh is stacked with the new ss kids consisting of zioziotrip, crucify (8-2 in 1v1pl 1-2 in pspl.) the two rivals of 1v1 pl now have to team up. 3rd swsh is probs like nalei or smely. sm on this team is also really good with squirtell (unless u cteam him) and LKJC or nalei. i've been told upcoming oras don LRXC will be starting oras ill be exciting to see the teams he brings. sansho in bw I'm guess he did pretty good in bw no johns. dpp no clue u could toss alive in here or maybe ryyjyywyy i guess. this team was overhyped af in the beginning since bar their swsh and sm its not that good but we'll see.

4. WEST COAST w/ dom "Dom is banished from west" - boat 2020
young don waylaid in swsh after his insane record in pl like 7-2 or some shit pretty crazy and LE CREME BRULE but who else plays swsh on this team though? boat? 0-4 Makis fox? Their sm is ok with ima and elo bandit/scraft. The main power of this team is its old gens with young dommert 3000 in oras or supporting the ghosting slot. bw is prolly gonna be grandmaster dommy who recently won bw no johns (or gym socks will play.) dpp with the insane core of the Mexican + synonymous, synon who went 3-0 in pools last year. this team old gens w/ dom is probs one of the best old gens but their newer gens are kinda lacking but i could see these guys making offs.

5. EAST COAST BEAST COAST
1590592070823.png

east swsh is ok with tol luckypiper and sicexv, tol going 5-1 in pl , piper the goat and sicexv qualifed for ladder tour (1v1.) their SM is really good cuz they went like 10-2 last year of sm games, starters gonna be Sustence the goat who just needs good teams and tda. (man this is the sm verison of zio + crucify lool) oras is kinda dead for them cuz robyn said she won't sign up (lol), it'll probs will be a random player / ghosting slot. bw will be POWER, idk much they did ok last wc and probs will do ok this year. Yami did really well last wc and will do good this year, they are a good builder and player but tilt easily. this team COULD make poffs but they need a good oras player and some luck. (:psynervous:)

6. Cone
1590592950243.png

this team got better idk why I'm ranking it low but their SS is dogknees + potatochan + explodingdonkey which can be good since their all pretty good builders at SS and can play decent. SM is also really nice w Ninjadog and Freddy Kyogre or someone else. Oras is probs Levi or gareth, another option would be live in sm with ninjadog and Freddy plays black and white. unless jabiru comes back their dpp is nonexistence like most teams. this team could also make poffs but it'd be close and depends on how their swsh does.

7. ASIA
1590593404061.png

this team is gonna be filled with randoms. deg is probs gonna start in swsh, kaif in sm and whale in road. spitfire isn't playing so whose the dpp? this team will do ok but i don't think its gonna make poffs. deg will be hard carrying this.

8. NLUK
idk most people on this team but felucia iron crusher and djorka in swsh i guess, and tsc in sm. idk who their oras is and their bw is wanon who hasn't been doing good lately. dpp no clue either xd. my boy raimon gonna carry this team


e: don't mind my grammar its bad lol
