Woohoo drama. This is based off opinions from scrims of my team and outcomes of others. Don't get upset that your team isn't up here or that isn't as high as you think it should be. Game has only started and I haven't seen one of these and competition is starting, so here we go. BTW: I might have forgotten some teams that belong up here. I was just browsin the ladder and takin teams.

1. Kore -K-: Vets of the Tribes world and were top 10-5 in previous Tribes games. Their the top team right now. Hardcore roster, active and have changed with T:V nicely. Well thought out strats, excellent cappers and a solid D, they are the team to beat at the start of competition.

2. Texas Area Untouchables (TAU): Nordy the stratmastah has TAU rollin. Another team with a solid roster, strats and changed with the times. Only team that I know of that has played Kore nearly even steven in scrims.

3. Team 5150: Their back. These guys have a very well known roster. From what I've heard, they rely on vehicles a little too much, and don't stick to the bare essentials, and suffer on non vehicular maps. Look for these guys in about a month or a two to be the team to beat.

4. Team Fusion: These guys are also old school. Hey, its Team Fusion. I haven't seen them around scrimming and have only seen their scores from their matches in beta (and I'll find out first hand this Thursday). I have heard thought they are definately top ten. Now they need Heliometus Max to return. =)

5. Vanguard =V=: Good group of guys, and still very good. Solid teamwork and a HO train to boot, they know how T:V works and will only improve in time. After all, teams haven't had a chance to scrim all the maps yet.

6. Team Grapple: Don't know much about these guys except their pretty good. Good matches vs GoD in beta and they show promise.

7. Rapture |R|: Another team of vets. Although I haven't seen much of them out of pubs, I know they have the strats and the players to hold their own in at least the top 5. Lets see if they take T:V seriously, these guys are a bunch of jokers =p (just check out their TWL profile- http://www.teamwarfare.com/viewTeam.asp?team=Rapture

8. of Perfection (Can't do their tag cuz of HTML): There is word out they are cheaters. Whatever. We'll see soon enough. Good core group of guys and some decent strats. Could be higher, we'll see soon enough.

9. Pandora Trigger is PT: Where did these guys come from? No offense but they were terrible in T2? Oh yah, this isn't T2. As far as I've seen so far these guys are by far the best at using every new feature/addition to TV to their advantage. Bucklers, shield packs, maybe not the grappler but yah. How do they do that? Cluster is their style, non-cluster maps are their weakness.

10: Team 311 |311|-: Damn straight I'm putting my team up here. We're starting to get our starting roster situated and finally get our guys to talk over vent during games. After a few scrims I'm confident that I'm putting us in the right spot. We like being the underdogs, look for us in the upcoming weeks =p

Flame away/Post your own. Don't bother pming me in IRC about it. I probly won't read it.

I'm not so sure about a few of those.

51>> HP
If I had to pick ten (and admittedly I haven't been back very long, but this is what I've seen and heard since release).

1. Kore
2. 22
3. 5150
4. TAU
5. Grapple
6. Rapture
7. Vanguard
8. Perfection
9. 311
10. NuTz

With TF, nCn, VuP, PT, ZU, n$ and possibly even ^i^, eM, Vendetta and Tantrum just a little ironing out away from there.

51>> HP
1. 5150
2. TAU
3. Kore
4. Nutz
5. Grapple
6. Team Fusion
7. Vanguard
8. Catch 22 (would be higher if they had a solid roster)
9. [FTM]
10. North$tar

- Mainly based off of potential as its too early to tell who is gonna be dedicated and who isn't. A lot of decent T2 teams that could crack the top 10 I think.

- As far as rapture goes, we are taking the game seriously We have had some pretty good recruits lately that add a different dimension to our gameplay, so we will see.
our roster gets more and more solid by the week, weeding out players who don't fit and slowly recruiting to get the right people, would have been easier with a less offensive tv release though ;>
Catch 22
When all of our offense shows up and we have enough guys to play d, I don't think we can lose.

Will be interesting to see how the top 10 really shapes up.
alex is so modest :>
Catch 22
btw there are 2 teams that are still kind of secret that I think could easily break top 10 based on their leadership.
bah phr33ky, im gonna have to setup a scrim with you ;p

as for my own list, partially based on my own experience, partially what i can see/hear..
1. kore
2. tau
3. 5150
4. catch 22
-- these first 4 are a bit of a tossup, ive only played 22, and that was more than enough to put them in this group
5. vanguard
6. rapture
7. grapple
-- havent played any of these 3, but they should be very solid
8. tf
9. tantrum (going up..)
10. elemental
-- slightly biased, but im most experienced with these teams.. note that this is also based on current performance, i expect tantrum to be extremely competitive with tf.

HoN DB
Adept
I forgot Catch 22 =p

Slap them in at number 5-6 and move everyone down one.

I'm not so big on ranking teams based on what word of mouth is, but moreso on the experience the teams have (those that are tried and tested) as well as the teams that are gonna be able to take a loss or two and learn from it.
1) whatever team i'm on
2-10) *

Yeah, I noticed that a little late. Granted they get the same people they had before to join back up then I will keep my opinion they will be there. But more than likely I'm not sure how much n$. wants to play.
1 CkB
2 =NCG=
3 Donkey Punchers
4 Select Icons
5 =ARC=
6 [cnlm]
7 Zero Hour
8 The Fellowship
9 L&L Lock and Load
10 United Nomad Souls

obviously not very much!
1. -K-
2. TAU|
3. 22
4. TF
5. =V=
6. |5150|
7. NuTz
8. [FTM]
9. |311|
10. VuP

i swear i'm not gay.
ego is only good with syrup.
just to get this out of the way. They're not Their.

And please don't drop Grapple below Catch 22. I don't want to sound like an ass, but if we are judging on scrims, we rocked them last time out.

and jmat, we've beat 3 teams on your list already. Try again.
