The new "FML Quicki" Season has been started!
Maybe a few words to the new format. I really like the idea to have a rather quick season, since we all know, how long a season can take with 4-6 matches, Semi-Final & Final with 2-3 weeks of scheduling. The new format will have random casts, which can be good and is probably easier to handle.
What I don't like is the new idea of more finals and missing consistency in the league. I guess, Hightac already received a few complaints about the final thing and maybe he will consider that for the next season ;)
Now the predictions:
Match 1
:ra: :Germany: Joggel
:ne: :USA: Donald-Trump
:ra: :USA: Eshan
:ne: :Argentina: supremo
I agree with Cumulo that is a no brainer. Supremo will probably never master the low/high upkeep thing and is pumping directly after t3 to 80 or 100 only to suicide the first player he will see. Karfal will try to hoard as much as possible and will curse everyone who starts attacking him before the 40 minutes mark. Joggel is a decent player who is lacking sometimes the right decision making in the mid/end game. Well, and then there is Eshan, who is able to win every match regardless the cast. Eshan will find a way to win that game. A possible scenario, he will tome joggel or karfal while supremo won't peace the other player.
Match 2
:ne: :USA: Mog[skynet]
:hu: :Peru: SuperCumulo
:ud: :France: Ugrilainen
:ne: :Germany: Trunkz
I never saw Urgi playing and I think he was quite long inactive. Therefore he will be the big tome in that cast. We have 2 t1 players with Cumulo and Trunks and 1 t2 player with Mog. Whoever is able to tome Urgi will be in lead and will face a 2 vs 1. Besides Cumulo will tryhard to win his 1n1 against trunks, which will probably lead into a suicide for both players. Since the patch made Humans really bad against Elves, I guess Trunks will take that win.
Match 3
:orc: :Russia: b100death
:ud: :Russia: Jaod
:ra: :Lithuania: Peanut
:ne: :USA: Dovekie
Finally b100 found his wc3 key and also got his disered opponent assigend to his match. He must be very happy. Dovekie is coming back after how many seasons? Oldschool player with high dick pressure micro and very good FFA sense. Jaod and Peanut are very decent ffa players. I guess, we will see a good match with a lot of fights and not much sitting. I have the feeling that peanut will sneak the win here.
Match 4
:ne: :Poland: Gradient
:orc: :Russia: Jiexa_b
:ra: :USA: Seksi
:ud: :USA: Vyvanne
Ez Katka for Seksi.
Match 5
:ud: :USA: SteppinRazor
:orc: :Russia: Airenikus
:ud: :Bulgaria: jOeybadass
:orc: :Russia: mrSweets
Another player is coming back and will probably a tome for Airenikus, Joey or Sweets. Sorry Steppin. I have the strange feeling that we will see a game with much sitting due to Airenikus and Sweets. Since Joey is a tryhard he will join the party. It will be either Airenikus or Joey, who will win the game.
FMA 6
:ra: :Finland: aarnikratti
:orc: :Albania: ena1337
:ra: :Germany: ToX
:orc: :Bulgaria: Godfather
We will see a lot of: FMA, LOL, LEL, ENA you bald Moron, TOX show finally a photo of your ass you honorless piece of shit, go 1n1, suicider, retard etc.,
Entertainment level will be quite high and winner dosn't really matter here. I am really looking forward to the match.
Match 7
:orc: :Sweden: Fetta_ook
:ud: :Russia: Reinforcement-
:ne: :Peru: Headintheclouds
:ra: :Sweden: Junkerzam
Either Junker or Reinforcment. Both strong ffa players. Fetta too rusty and is missing micro to surive until the 3 way.
Match 8
:orc: :Germany: Pinballmap
:ud: :USA: JSRGN
:hu: :Russia: AJIKAIII
:ra: :Germany: Slythe
I don't how active any of those players are, but I didn't see Pinball and Slythe at least until tbr3 and I don't know who JSRGN is. Therefore I vote for AJI, since he was around in tbr3 and isn't inactive I guess.
I hope we will see a lot of good matches this season and there will be volunteers around, who will cast the matches. GG
