On paper, definitely the stronger match in the winner's bracket. Every player but Slythe likes to lose their main bases. Cumulo by accident, Eshan to appear weak and Qwest unsummons for the gold. If they pick Sanctuary, we will see a happy flame and hoard fest. I hope Slythe, being the only player with a main base, will get teamed 3v1, so we get to see his overbuffed pitlord going on a glaive slaughter.
Match 10 (Winner's Bracket)
ena1337 Gradient reinforceement- AJIKAIII
If ena would have Gradi’s FFA sense or Gradi ena’s micro, this match would be easier to predict. Since both tend to rambo, it could become an open battle and long 4-way. Reinforcement may struggle, as he feels the pressure of Tom betting all his coins on his idol.
Match 11 (Loser's Bracket)
Seksi headintheclouds fetta_ook junkerzam
As usual, we may see head and fetta struggling in their early 1on1s, but whoever manages to survive may take it home, if Seksi sacrifices his last 100 pop as he did on Thunder Lake. I hope Junker will show up and not pass Trunks as the most unreliable player of the season.
Match 12 (Loser's Bracket)
rbr.Godfather Vyvanne mrSweets FML|Mog
Godfather will blame elf, Vyvanne will blame the map, Mog will complain that he’s getting teamed after harassing another player 2v1 early and we never know what mrSweets is up to.
Match 13 (Loser's Bracket)
supremo IWANTWC4 Dovekie Joggel
If Dovekie wins, he will pretend that round 1 never happened and FML players are no threat to him nowadays. Apart from that, I hope that Cumulo uses the spare time to teach supremo how to go for the neck and finish his 1on1 more decisively if he has the chance to do so.
Match 14 (Loser's Bracket)
trunkz Lil Tic Jaod b100death
If Trunks shows up (big if), and b100 plays less sloppily than in round 1, it could become a very nice clash. Lil Tic is a master of defense, but he was rarely tested by top players so far. Maybe he can win their hearts with his friendly chat. At least Jaod should be open for that.
Match 15 (Loser's Bracket)
WeAkUD Airenikus JSRGN JIexa_b
Very balanced match with JSRGN and Airen, two of the best hoarders. Maybe Airen’s positive mindset about the basic conditions outweighs JSRGN’s negative thoughts regarding map and running 20 players short. Admins sincerely apologize for not exclusively picking maps with islands, 50 gold mines and labs.
Match 16 (Loser's Bracket)
Ugrilainen ObserveAndLearn aarnikratti Pinballmap
Since admins don’t think this line-up is balanced, they may consider to replace Pinballmap with Noexxx

Re: S28 M14
Okay, would be great if we could make Friday work.
Round 2 concluded with one of the longest matches FML has ever seen, in which qwest secured his ticket to the finals. While he and Ena can sit back and relax, the 12 remaining players will try to win their matches to follow to the finals. Matches of this round should be played by Nov 4.
Please feel free to post your predictions and your "5-player dream final line-up" in this thread!
As you know, Warcraft 3 Reforged was announced last weekend. A member from the Hive created the below list of what we know so far. I'm curious to hear what you think about Reforged and I created an FML feedback thread in the new Warcraft 3 forum. I hope my feedback summarizes the most important (FFA-related) points and you agree with it. Feel free to comment it in that thread as well.
- Same engine as classic WC3, current engine upgraded (confirmed), - Easier customization of hotkeys (confirmed), - On Battle.Net Launcher (confirmed), - Crossplay between Reforged and Classic (confirmed), - In options, you can choose to play with old graphics (confirmed), - Classic mods compatible on Reforged (confirmed), - Reforged includes ROC & TFT campaigns (confirmed), - "Skins" and cosmetics (confirmed) - Released in 2019 (confirmed), - New editor can import old maps (confirmed), - Old map will load HD models (confirmed), - Audio will be upgraded, in every language Classic had and even more (re-recording with the same old actors) (confirmed), - Old audio will still be in the game (confirmed), - Achievements system (confirmed), - New editor will be an improved version of the current editor (confirmed), - Melee gameplay *mostly* unaffected (confirmed), - New races ("Can't comment."), - Balancing will continue to happen post-Reforged (confirmed), - System requirement can't be said yet, due to the game still being in dev. (confirmed)
We have a new competition coming up, to make the ladder more attractive again. It is a ladder within the ladder and will bring glory to those who dare to join it.
All players that are part of the FML Discord Channel (Join Here) are eligible to join the competition and will be granted access to a separate channel. Please pm qwest, HighTac or massmoretankz if you want to participate.
The entry fee of 10$ {No Euro Please} should be sent via PayPal to WorpeX@hotmail.com and same with donations to the prize pool to boost the competition. Players are allowed to enter the competition after it has started.
Players that participate, need to create a Battle.net (Northrend) account called “name_FMLhero” (e.g. HighTac_FMLhero), which is the only valid account for being an FML Ladder Hero. All ladder wins on this account will count for this competition. It is irrelevant if enemies are random ladder players or part of this event.
On November 18, the wc3melee FFA Ladder will reset, which is our starting signal. We will play on wc3melee until patch 1.30.2 gets pushed to the servers and the bots shut down on December 1. From there, we will move to the normal Battle.net Northrend ladder and merge the wins in both ladders per account.
Official end date of the competition is February 10, 2019 (20 CET). The prize pool will be paid out to the top 5 FMLhero participants (probably 60%/15%/12%/8%/5%, but not decided yet).
Scores
• In general, one FFA win equals one point in FFA Ladder Hero and one FFA loss counts -0.25 points • All players that stream at least 40 hours of hero ladder FFA per month, get three bonus points per month to outweigh the general disadvantage • All players that manage to get 10:0 wins right after the season started will get 3 bonus points
Additional rules (complementing the wc3melee FFA ladder rules)
• Players are not allowed to have any FMLhero aliases in their Battle.net friend list (admins may do crosschecks with random players) • Players are not allowed to reveal enemy FMLhero players ingame • Any abuse of loss bugs, joining a game with multiple computers, stream sniping, account sharing or joint level boosting may lead to immediate disqualification. • Players are only allowed to participate with one account
