Philippine Division 2 Next Season

One of the more interesting topics in Talkdep.com, the official forums of Cyberdunk, is the influx of new teams in the Philippine Leagues, particularly in Division 2 next season. Here's a rundown of the possible human teams next year and how they stack up:

Los Banos Devils - Currently a 28.5 team with some good 30ish players. Shouldn't be too much of a threat though.

Bocaue Firecrackers - Currently a 22 team with mostly 20ish players. Cakewalk unless they start recruiting heavily.

Ivalice Blades - Currently a 33.5 team with some powerhouses including a 50+ value player and 3 40+ players. Could be a serious contender next season.

Greenbelt Gimikeros - Currently a 31.5 team that shows great potential. Many high 30+value players and they are still recruiting.

Boracay Whitesands - Currently a 23.5 team with a single high 30+ player. They have very sound builds, however, and could recruit more people to make them a formidable force next season.

Filcosplay Freelancers Xp - One of the favorites next season especially after trouncing the higher-valued Dau Tollgates.

Filcosplay Freelancers - A quality team that has a few ailing players that have gone inactive. Needs to regroup as next season promises to be a much more competitive one.

Dau Tollgates - Currently a 43 value team. Will most likely be the highest-valued team next season, but a stunning loss to the Filcosplay Freelancers XP puts their tactics and player builds into question.

Scout Lozano Rangers - Currently a 22.5 value team, but could recruit heavily next season as they just started now.

Season 6 promises to be a much more exciting season for all the teams. There are a lot of new contenders that have joined the fray and Filcosplay's dominance might soon come to an end.

The Classics need to rebuild heavily as the Ivalice Blades and Dau Tollgates threaten to dominate their dwindling lineup. FC XP beat Dau in a shocking route, but can they keep up the pressure next season to clinch the top spot for 3 seasons in a row?

Only time will tell, but it will be one hell of a ride.
