There is still time left to join in the first Heroes Rising FACTION WAR

What finally alliances will be made? Clearly, many teams are building for the lower end of player counts with 24ish members. A majority of the teams are full of primarily lower level heroes. If divisions go with 4 factions as usual in League Wars, we may see The Coalition, Freaks of Nature, the 5th Precinct team (remember back when you couldn't swing a cat without seeing a 5th Precinct league), and SOB Hunter/Killer Confederation sparring in Division One. 

All this will eventually change as more factions sign up. Several of the incomplete potential teams, if unified, would  create a team of sufficient power to cause others to move down to Division 2. Nine faction teams have a median level of below 20, so this will leave one other league in an upper division if divisions of 4 or 8 are done That would leave 6 teams currently in the mid-range. Two divisions of three? It seems that a minimum of 2 more factions are needed to keep action in  two 4-team divisions or one 8-team divisions.

Keep leveling, early registers. I can guarantee other leagues are lurking on the sidelines, watching the breakdowns and trying to plot where they would like to try to slip in. Note: There are several small 5th Precinct leagues with players and nearly a half dozen AV51 Family teams that haven't combined yet. It is still anyone's tournament to champion. Good luck out there.
