FFA Masters League

I thought I'll put all of top orc abusers into a single post to make this easier.

OK so we know that while orc is not the top race to win any given FFA, it is quite cheesy/op in terms of single battles. Often times orcs are rushed out/teamed against for this particular reason. The race op synergies + brutal micro of the top players = pretty much nobody stands a chance in an even battle.

So, here are the 2 scenarios.

1. You are in the top right corner position near Darkness on Market Square. He is sandwiched with 2 other players beneath him.
You don't need to scout to know that he will go DR+hh, grab a quick expo and then mass his usual cheese.
You don't need to scout to know that YOU are darkness's #1 target to break out of sandwich.
You use whatever race you use. What do you do?

2. You are sandwiched on Twilight. DasElend lucked into the best position across the map from you, all alone. His typical play is fast wyverns, creep as much as possible, gear up his BM and then dominate vs anyone.
You use whatever race you use. What do you do?


Me:
1. Any race -creep as much as possible, mass towers and fast 100. Camp base or expos - wherever he goes. Yell at other players to hit him before he gets lvl 7 DR from toming me. Pray. Seriously, I don't want to spawn near a sandwiched Darkness. I will go into a zakazulu mode and just scream at everyone until they hit darkness or kill me so I finally shut up.

2. Try and manip others into realizing that Das is all alone and hoarding 40k If they don't, screw it, throw everything at him. If they hit me or each other in the mean time, they are too dumb to win anyways. 3v1 rice style and not let him rebuild, ever. Top player in lucky position = auto team imo. Try not to get lucky next time.


So, TLDR, the strat is this:
1. camp to avoid feeding them high heroes.
2. never fight them in a fair battle because you just cant beat something so imba
3. hardcore team
4. if they cry about being teamed, point them to numerous replays where they've won vs team, so they should probably stfu
5. if it comes to the point where the orcs are fed+mass gold, go into zaka zulu mode and all out harassment rage and pray that the remaining players have half a brain to do the same


Anyone got good replays to watch involving top orcs? Especially where they get actually beaten?

finally figured it out... have to run autowarkeys with admin

I have full information on every player available in my files. My sources are everywhere. Anything you post would be a mere attempt to match the unparalleled knowledge that we possess. Our cognizance knows no bounds.

Do your own research.

Well, see, I suck so I need the fancy stuff to make up for it.

About the idea, I've been wanting to make player-profile pages for awhile with stats/results/etc, and while I have it started, its a lot of work and probably wont get finished at this rate. x.x If anyone who knows php wants to volunteer their time, that would be cool. :)

Stats would be good too, but I was thinking just a subforum with a thread per player (so 32 threads), and let the others pitch in the content instead of taking up admin time/effort.

Well the inevitable drama is a good way to keep the spirits/competition up, besides the informational part.

Seeing how the league is pretty intimate, I was thinking, would it be difficult to open up a new forum with a thread per league player where anyone can contribute to the following:

-their experience against that player
-how to deal with this player
-what to watch out for
-specialty tricks the player uses
-links to good games that display the player's prowess

I thought this would be a cool way to start off the playoffs, since there is a full week or so before the qualifier round 1/2 end and everyone is bored.

Here's an example I can do for Marn:

He plays UD only... same combo every game, dk/dl/lich. He will typically mass garg from the start and maybe add a few frosties later on. I've never seen him do an early rush. He will sit back and hoard.
Don't trust him when he says he has no gold... he always has gold.
He always types in caps. If you type back in caps he gets furious and often suicides. Also he is in jail now.

Don't need to write essays... pitch in a few lines if you can.

Not sure if anyone else thinks that'd be entertaining. My thinking is that if everyone knows everything about everyone, there will be more experimentation going on, so people get a little less predictable (I know I will try to be).

I got the script running in my tray but when I press alt-1 (my top left inventory slot) nothing happens. Numpad 7 still works though. Is there something I need to do to initiate the script while in game?

Can you update my nationality to Belorussian please.

5:15 today is fine with me as well.
