Top 10 time again,
Last reset, I complained we didn't have a clear #1, that no one wnated it.
I guess that was enough to bring Helmet out of retirement, and to give the troops some Helmetnip.
SOF looked like Helmet's SOF.
Give credit to Ivan Aponic and company, for their amazing turnaround job.
1. SOF. No one is even sniffing SOF's class, right now, its not even close.
2. SOL. SOL can smash anyone but #1, and can't net as well as #1. Sorry netting alliances, but right now SOL dictates whether or not you net. SO they get #2.
And now we have a mess. No one wants to be #3. I'm going to rank then but understand I veiew this next group as somewhat interchangable.
#3. Evolution- back to back ave net and TNW wins. You need more members to really grab hold of this.
#4. Omega- back to back runnerups, and a proven strong top to bottom warring group. Again, more members!
#5. LCN- you should be #3. I'm an LCN homer, always will be. I admit this, but LCN needs a strong top to bottom showing, either warring or netting. Not 1/2 an allaince showing, but a top notch top to bottom performance. Which is what LCN is historically known for.
6. NA- You guys maybe too low. I can see you anywhere here from 3-6. But, it was a rough reset, as would a reset be for anyone facing SOF....show me this is too low.:) You have good netting ability, numbers, and well I think you should be higher, but how much and where?
7. LAF- rough 2 resets. Lost members to RD, several rough wars ina row. Still the top netters with Evo. Again, 3-7 is part of a group that's kinda equal's just dpending on momentum, you easily could be 3rd next reset.
ANother drop off happens here.
8. PDM- I think you guys maybe fixing to join the above tier. Not quite as high a quality of netters as most. Not quite as a tough group top to bottom fighters as others. But growing, and a proven strong person in Detmer is not to be underestimated. PDM is moving up, and getting closer to cracking the next tier.
9. Rage- Also growing, getting stronger. I will say the 9th best alliance is stronger than the 9th best alliance last reset.
10. Collab- 30 membersish, above average gaining, decent fighters. Really quite interhcnagable with Rage/PDM.
Now, a case can be made, for ICN after the merger, RD after some decent netting, Imag who has had a decent year, and Monsters, who are on an upswing right now and had a very good netting performance.
But each of those 4, are either new again to the game, going through a merger, or have a defenciency in warring/gaining. While all 4 alliances have been under 30 members for some time, which is a recipe for merging into another group/folding, as the last few resets have demonstrated.
Time for comments/thoughts/smart ass remarks. Fire away!
