WS ranking are finally out, here is my thoughts for the north qualifier
Venom - It’s their WS to lose 2way - How will they be without their holdbacks? Fca - we’ll see how they do vs the best in the area, they haven’t played the top teams as much as the others at the top Express North - see 2way Express - will be very strong Boston - created NE team to compete, choosing from Laxachussetts, 3D NE and 4 Leaf, almost all other teams are established, this is kind of BS in my opinion Legacy - big expectations coming into this year picking up lots of talent, let’s see if they can put it all together, they have lost players Cavalry - good team, will lose some talent to holdbacks BTB - lost lots of talent, will struggle Eclipse - should be strong, not sure how many of their top players apply age wise S2S - good team but will be without top player due to birthdate Prime time - improved but probably not there yet Rebels - they’re putting lots of work in, brought in some new talent, with a decent draw they might qualify 91 Tristate - I think they will struggle Surge - will show well at times but not vs top teams, good overall team, it’s just tough with all superstars on Venom Igloo - not a whole lot of buzz around this team, will struggle Sweetlax - top players in the past were holdbacks, will struggle Albany power - b team?
Unranked and going
Rush - they should have been ranked, not sure what happened there… Igloo Frost - hard working b team, will struggle without top talent
9 qualified last year here is my guess if 9 qualify again, pools can certainly affect this
Venom 2Way FCA Express Boston Legacy Eclipse Rebels Rush
2way will be an interesting team to watch as their current 2028 roster is much older than most in the area. However, I’m giving them credit for taking a run at this after-all it’s an aged based tournament not grade.
I wouldn’t sleep on eclipse that program has tremendous players up and down.
Rebels and rush over express N - doubtful but I guess we will see.
