Match 17 (Winner's Bracket)

Lil Tic
Seksi
AJIKAIII
reinforceement-

Map: Twilight Ruins, Ashenwood or Twisted Grove

Lil Tic is the only one here that can properly team vs Seksi. Ajikaiii is more machine than man, and reinforcement- may have a grudge against him from last game. Seksi is the favorite if he plays smart and trusts his ability to win without ramboing too much. He showed he can pwn reinforcement in UD mirror last season. Lil tic might surprise us all and go finals in his first season :D (great format! 2 wins finals)

Match 18 (Winner's Bracket)

Slythe
ZsSuperCumulo
Gradient
SomethingWicked

Map: Market Square, Deadlock LV or Anarchy Castle

I'm hoping they pick anarchy, and cumulo just steam rolls everyone. But if its a big map then anyone has a chance. Gradient excels in big maps, and these players will ignore him. Slythe showed that he won't have any idea who has most gold/is winning, but he gets ignored a lot too. Wicked is a great player but is not so experience vs top players. His wagonmancer is quite strong though and could hurt cumulo. This game could either be an easy win for cumulo, or a tough 3hr game by all, depending on the map.

Match 19 (Winner's Bracket)

Eshan
noexxx
Dovekie
ObserveAndLearn

Well this is a star studded cast. 3 of the best microers in FML....and me. They all are stronger than me in fights and I respect all of their styles and skills. Should be a nice game. All the map choices are small maps, so Noe could steamroll everyone. But joey and dovekie are strong and might prove a match for him. I will just try to survive my 1v1 and have a chance to win. Joey is one of the biggest manippers this season, but Dove and Noe don't manip much. Dove has maybe too much honor sometimes, leaving when he still has a chance. Hopefully he fights to the end. Whoever wins this game really deserves to be in Finals.

Well good match , dunno if seksi gonna play rndm or he gonna choose race , but versus those 2 humans will be tuff for him. I put my bet on cement as he showed really good plays recently and have always been with good ffa sense. Seksi is good FFA player but still strugles to achieve it in FML, just because of some wrong decisions in some crucial moments of the game.

Map: Twilight Ruins, Ashenwood or Twisted Grove

Match 18 (Winner's Bracket)

Slythe
ZsSuperCumulo
Gradient
SomethingWicked

Well I guess Cumulo will fast rush Gradient , which will cause him to lose the game. SW is really good tactician and will have the time to hoard enough so he can beat SLythe. Still everything matters in what Slythe race will be. If he gets elf thing can go other way and Slythe may win it all.

Match 19 (Winner's Bracket)

Eshan
noexxx
Dovekie
ObserveAndLearn

I really feel Dovekie is the big tome here. I think Eshan will use him as his manips and will lose on purpose armies and heroes vs him just to pretend he is fighting. On other hand Noe and Joe will fight probably all game but with the buff of Undead and Joey's new strategies I think the Little Maga can manage to survive this game full of manips by maniping himself. I bet after Dovekie is out Eshan will team Noe to death and after that will just trust in his luck to outcome in the 1v1. Will be nice game.

Hope for twilight ruins, donīt really know the other maps, though.
Seksi is the overall powerhouse here, but Alkash and reinforcement are able to challenge him microwise, LilTic knows some nice ffa mechanics and with human a lot is still possible. A lot of questionsmarks to me, because alkash and reinforcement are still not so familiar to me in the ffa context.
Either itīs gonna be a nice action game or an easy win by seksi, or both.

Match 18 (Winner's Bracket)

Slythe
ZsSuperCumulo
Gradient
SomethingWicked


Another rather big, classic, epic map in market, nice!
Interesting lineup for sure. Cumulo hopefully gets his internet ready for the game so there wonīt be a fast 3way again! Human is traditionally strong on the map and with a fml win and a couple of final appearances he is the clear favourite here. Also Peru seems to rock it in Wc3 atm with Walter (why not Rüdiger?!) going to WGL?!
Gradient refined his playstyle and has very effective creeproutes, fast expanding and beautiful baselayout skills, also he is not shy of using the joy of tinker - among other ways to unleash relentless macrowars on you until the 100 food chippo is here for a big purple sky surprise. Somethingwicked is a smart player who mixes it up with ud. Donīt know about his activity and have not seen him play or play with him for a long time. Cannot predict that game at all. Some thoughts: A lot of hoarding... :D or early attacks by Cumulo or Somethingwicked on me or Gradient or each other. Maybe a dominant win by Cumulo, maybe some nasty teaming against him or me. Some dead heroes to creeps 100%!

Match 19 (Winner's Bracket)

Eshan

Dovekie
ObserveAndLearn

Hope for Silverpine, best medium sized map, but deathrose can create nice games aswell, although it offers more tricky situational stuff.
Eshan likes deathrose games, especially w/o me i suppose , so letīs hope he gets that map where he has a good creeproute. Too bad his swiss opponent Noexxx knows that map damn well aswell, due to his FML win on it. Itīs the game for Dovekie to show what heīs made of in FML. If he wins this, i join his fanclub.
Joey hopefully can tome and eliminate eshan early so he can fly a bit under the radar in a 3way with Dovekie and Noexx are focused on each other.
