The records:
TNW: 10th round by TKO: $39,267,443,085
They had 343 countries that averaged an 114M. An impressive average for such a large clan
ANW: 9th round by Mercs: $185,209,620
They had 84 countries and took 2nd in TNW behind PAN in a set where TKO was warring. If you wanted to cut them out for being too small (I wouldn't, I think 84 is enough to count), then it's PAN with $150,970,750 last set with 185 countries.
As Warster said, if even just a few of their players aren't having their usual set, it's going to be tough to break 40B, but who knows. They do have 47 extra countries, so it depends on if most of those extra countries are running killers or are running high-powered netters.
I don't see them having any real significant chance in ANW unless something crazy happens with PAN and maybe ESD though. Both clans have the land advantage on TKO and I have no reason to think PAN won't improve at least marginally on ANW again this set. I think jumping enough to break the record set my Mercs might be tough, but many of our guys seem to be having a good set, and I'm AWOL this set, so my countries aren't dragging the average down. :P
My bet would be that neither record gets broken this set, but it wouldn't shock me if either (or both) did.
