For scheduling, next two Saturdays will be tough, the bulk of our moving will be then, and I think this coming Sunday might be the best. Can we go 10/20 at 19:00 CET?
I can make next Sunday work still as well. I just might be a bit short on time since I'm doing the first half of moving all our stuff into the new apartment that weekend so I'm not sure if I have Sat or Sun free, I'll know closer to then.
@noexxx@junkerzam would you be available next Sunday at the same time, 1700 CET?
Earlier will be hard for me, it's 9 hour difference. Ideally evening times EU is best. I can do is 8am my time which should be 1700 CET. Would that work Slythe possibly?
I'll post map choice when I get home, should be in about ~2 hrs.
When I get home from work it'll be 5:30 at the very earliest, typically 6pm PST, and that'll be 9pm EST and I think 0300 CEST, so very poor for DV. Weekends I think are the best by default for me with any EU player.
Hm, if DV is potentially willing to play at a late time, this might work. realistically tho PST to CET is always garbage since they are currently 9 hours ahead, so the weekends would probably be best, and I'm completely open.
I'm down for 9/28, would 1000 PST / 1400 EST / 1900 CET work for everyone?
Oh, I'm really sorry - I was looking at the wrong dates and when I saw Fetta say 'this weekend' I was looking at last weekend so I thought the 9th was 'next.'
Map Pool: Silverpine Forest, Monsoon non-LV, Dragon Island
Hmm this is kind of tough to call I think. I don't think off the top of my head anyone has a clear advantage over another ? Godfather has some great UD play esp w/ his wagons, Slythe always using interesting hero combos, the honorable Joggel, and Peanut smurfing apparently. If Peanut was the guy in our Emerald Shores game earlier today, I suspect Slythe and him will be slugging it out early in anger.
Match 2
Gradient DV SuperCumulo Eshan
Map Pool: Market Square, Blasted Lands, Legends
Eshan Cumulo again lol. #Riggedadmins. Map choice might be a huge factor here for Gradi - his hero style I believe is map dependent so you never know what you'll get. I'd really be interested to see them play on Legends, that'll really change up the dynamics vs a more 'standard' map. Cool to see DV playing again, though honestly we'll have to see how in shape Eshan, Cumulo, and DV are. Gradi has improved a lot honestly, and animal style is such a huge pain in the ass. DV looks pretty good in the few inhouse games we've played, excited for this match.
Match 3
qwest GEASS Rain Betoon
Map Pool: La Rosa Nautica, Deadlock LV, Anarchy Castle
One newcomer to FFA and what sounds like a returning player maybe? I'm not familiar with Rain at all. On paper I would give this to Qwest but we'll see. Human orb op.
Match 4
Lil Tic mrSweets Noexxx Airenikus
Map Pool: Fountain of Manip, Cold Plains, Northshire LV
Noex is the powerhouse favorite of this match. We have the honorable Sweets (whom I struggle against in ladder matches all the time :D he has a knack for having my number and it's impressive and frustrating at the same time ) and Airen from RUS, and our former champion Tic. I hate playing late game vs Tic, he has great overall unit control and understanding of mechanics, and his decision making is usually damn good. Hopefully Noe doesn't have computer issues and can stay stable for the victory!
Match 5
aarnikratti ep123 b100death FAiL.Life
Map Pool: Twilight Ruins non-LV, Harvest of Sorrow, Twisted Grove
The return of B GOD. Very excited to see him back and playing, really looking forward to studying his games and his creeping patterns. Ep has been streaming a lot, both FFA and 1v1 and I hope he plays human - he's one of my favorite HU players to watch. There isn't the most you can do with UD to make your own unique fingerprint on the game sadly, no disrespect at all to how Ep plays, it's just the race, so I like watching his Hu more :D
Match 6
Jaod Trunkz Junkerzam Jiexa
Map Pool: Typhoon, Meson de la Taberna, Purity 2.0
Trunkz has been playing WoW, so will he show + be in shape? We'll see. Janker's been playing a ton as usual and his skills have remained quite sharp, and Jaod and Jiexa are no slouch either. This will be an interesting one, another fairly evenly matched game. Trunkz is on paper the favorite but could get teamed and or/not be in the best of shape.
Match 7
Vyvanne supremo Fetta_ook QQs
Map Pool: Neon City, Thunder Lake, Deathrose
It's hard to be objective in your own game. I'm really not a big fan of the map choices tbh, hate Deathrose and Neon City is such a biased human/elf map. As usual, I like to think I'm pretty strong in 1v1 and feel I can take any early fight pretty well, but have not yet faced a lot of humans in late game with the new orb, so we'll see how things go. If fetta plays orc over random, that's my weakest matchup by far so it may be a pretty uphill battle for me.
