At the time this article goes live, we will know for certain if the WMD franchise has succeeded in their gambit to land separate powerhouse sides in each of the top 4 divisions of the next League War tournament.
For some time now, most of the tournament’s upper division title races have been a formality, and even with the introduction of NPC leagues for variety, there havent been any surprise moves or change of positioning strategy among the leagues.
After the August tournament, some may have seen opportunity to maneuver into the D3 group where Poison claimed a title. Instead, the top tier league pounced, not content to sit on their laurels. They could have been clear favourites to coast to D1, 2 and 4.
For rest of the leagues, any plan to get in a position to win rare silverware was scuppered by the All-powerful.
All is not yet lost at this stage, of course. There’s a slim chance that some NPC leagues could help the beleagued others; however based on the current rules at play with regard to average levels, the only place for them, will be in D1, where even a “diminished“ senior unit is still by far superior. They may very well be a bit more vulnerable to Longwang and crew than their other units vs the likes of Colony, but one imagines it’s well worth the risk. After all, Longwang doesn’t use Triumph tokens.
The lesson for all would-be challenger leagues? Never get complacent, and always be willing to try something bold.
