The home team of this long standing tournament are still yet to come away with the trophy. They came close in the fabled runner up finish of AC VIII but followed it up with unfortunate performances, 18th in AC IX and then again last year. That said, they're known to be something of a wild card. They've neither been consistent bottom table finishers nor top table. No one knows which Altador team will show up on the day. While a podium finish is unlikely, it'd be no surprise if they landed mid-table this year.

The reputation of "bending the rules" has taken its toll on the Brightvale side. Their best performance still remains their 8th place in AC I and soon after they felt the bitterness of 16th. King Hagan is nothing short of a super-fan and has made no secret of his interference with team matters. Many consider this an unsettling approach but they remain consistent mid-table finishers. There's no reason to expect otherwise this year.

The team with the iconic history. Winners in AC II and they've never felt the bitter taste of a bottom half standing. Their players are well known in the competition and are tough to break down. An upward climb of the table in the last four years makes their team "make or break" for anyone aiming for a podium spot. Keep your eye out on the results against this resilient side. They'll be a good indicator of who will walk away with the gold. As for the team itself, consistency tells the tale and in spite of their hiccup last year, they could be in for one or two places off that coveted podium in AC XV.

Their few outstanding performances in AC XI and AC XIII, a remarkable fourth place, still remains the only accolades they've been able to attain. They're known for finishing low in the bottom half of the table. Foul play allegations and the rumored "Faerie Curse" have done nothing to improve their confidence over the years. However, this team has nowhere to go but up and "no expectations" means "no pressure". For that reason, they're predicted to bounce up off of that bottom spot and maybe even pull off a mid-table finish this year.

The infamous winners of AC I have long lost their position as one of the forces of the game. Consistent bottom table finishes over the last four years has made many wonder if the Faerieland curse rubbed off on them when they borrowed the other team's training field. They're still considered a "sleeping giant" with some of the best players in the game, especially in defense. However, this year no one's predicting the giant will waken. A mid-table finish seems inevitable.

Injury prone, disqualification, underfunded, and even trapped by a landslide. You name it. Everything that could happen to this team has happened. That's why they're the heartwarming rags to riches tale of the competition. Even opposing fans confessed to shedding a tear of joy when they won the competition back in AC X. Since then, they've been steady in the upper echelons of the standings and are predicted to put in another top half of the table result this year.

They're a side to be respected in the Altador Cup and they've never fallen lower than 8th in the table. They're known for their defensive prowess, backed up by goalkeeper Garven Hale who many consider the best in the league. It's been a while since their win in AC IV but the team is far from over the horizon. Last year they were only a few places shy of a podium finish and this year they're considered more than likely to steal a place in the top three.

The squad has put together some inspiring performances recently and they've shown a real hunger since their last victory in AC VII. They're known for superstitious rituals before and during their games and boast technological advances in Yooyuball training. Two podium finishes in the last three years make them one of the favorites to come away with the gold this year.

The well supported winners of AC V ended last year with a respectable 7th. In the past they were thought to be quick to bench team members, but these days they're considered right on the line between ambitious and unified. That said, many experts have considered them overdue for a slip up and claim they see "signs of complacency". We'll soon find out if those reports are well founded.

Matching their best performance in last year's Altador Cup, means it's two podiums in three years for this up and coming side. Yet to record a win in the competition, possibly due to certain egos behind the scenes. Most notably Elon "Black Hole" Hughlis. Still, this could be the year for Maraqua's first trophy so long as they don't buckle under the pressure.

6th place last season after being runner up the year before has shown this team's difficulties with consistency. They've changed captains in the past and since then some cynics call them overambitious and punching above their weight class. Those voices seem to have curbed expert opinion and they're predicted to drop further this season, potentially to their first bottom table finish. Will this criticism affect the players?

One of the younger teams of the Altador Cup, they joined the competition soon after they were discovered and made it to AC V. Their standout podium finish in AC IX remains their best performance and they've certainly dropped down the old Pteri pecking order since then. They were only one spot off bottom place last season and have been touted as a potential last place this year. That said, being the young team that they are, some outlying experts think they're overdue for a performance.

"Mystery" by name and mystery by nature. You never know what you're going to get but that's part of the allure. Winners in AC XI followed by their worst performance, 16th in AC XII, really sums it up. Mid table last season has put pundits in an awkward position. It seems they're split down the middle. Half believe they'll be in or close to the podium, the other half think bottom table. Certainly not another mid table finish though.

Once a small team, they're now considered one of the powerhouses of Yooyuball. They boast one of the best and most loyal Captains in the game and a remarkable sportsmanship record. Their last trophy was their "Cinderella Story" victory AC III and many wonder if they could pull it off again this year. Still, more pragmatic experts say, it'll be a solid top table finish for them this year.

Still yet to record a victory and now considered to be firmly embedded in the mid-table mix. The closest they came was a runner up result back in AC IV. They'll be an interesting team to watch this year as many think they're capable of silently sneak away with some key results. An improved top table finish is the majority consensus.

Champions last year and 3rd place the previous year, the slick side has gained some serious traction. Fans have come flocking back in full support for the team that looked almost unstoppable last season. A superbly adept Captain combined with some exciting up-and-coming stars pushed them to a superb first victory in the contest. Almost all experts think they're a team with the potential to do the double. It'll be down to the other teams to prove them wrong and find the chinks in their armor.

Also known as the "Forsaken Five", they have passion, drive and are almost literally "giants of the game". Their last win was back in AC VIII and they've been one of the most consistent podium finishers in the history of the game. So, it came as a bit of a shock when they ended up in the bottom half of the table last year. They're expected to regroup and finish top three this year but only if they can find that rich vein of form.
