Re: M31 Result
Hey Slythe, While you may not agree with Eshan's playstyle, you cannot deny his effort and ability to win games against tough opponents. His strategy can be extreme and is often frustrating to watch and play against, but it is effective nonetheless. We probably should encourage/promote a different style of play, but I don't think it's right to disparage him so much. In my view, he is the deserved champion in this season, regardless of any personal disdain. June 14, 2021, 02:54:05 pm |

Re: FML Season 33 | Round 1
Match 1 Rulaz Noexxx Illuminate Slythe This is a great map for a tough match. Noexxx is the human god Thor. His Panda-centered style is great for macro, and he makes great decisions. Rulaz is a strong opponent who has shown good matches on this map before. His Alch-based gameplay is powerful, and he is a good thinker. He won't be able to bully Noexxx, and he might get manipped by the very cunning Iluminate. Iluminate is a tricky player with strong micro that knows how to create ideal conditions for himself by hoarding gold. He has good FFA sense and knows how to end the game. If Noexxx gets overteamed, Iluminate wins here. Slythe is a dark-horse candidate. If he gets rushed, he is out. If he is ignored, he could change the game, but I don't see him winning this after being AFK for a long time. Match 2 GLHF Match 3 Sheik Joey Voxius Rody32 Sheik is a heavy favorite to win the FML title this season, and this game should be relatively easy for him. JoeyBadass used to be a top ffa player, but he is very rusty and I dont think he can go toe-to-toe with Sheik. Voxius has shown some good rushing skills, but it will be hard for him vs Sheik or even Joey. I dont know much about Rody but I can guess he is the weakest player here. Sheik gets an easy win unless the others can team him properly. Match 4 Fetta Geass Lawliet Gradient This is a very interesting cast. We haven't seen Fetta in a long time, he will probably die 1st unless he has position luck. Geass is a former champ, and a strong HU player. I think of him like a Blastoise, a tough nut to crack. Lawliet is a solo pro playing his first FML game. And Gradi needs no introduction, the game massing, moonwell massing, robot from Poland who plays a macro-heavy style that focuses on destroying your buildings and your economy. If LawLiet rushes Gradi out, he can win. If Lawliet rushes Fetta, I see Geass winning. If Lawliet rushes Geass, I see Gradi winning. In no scenario do I see Fetta winning  Match 5 Wiz Neytpoh Supremo Aarnikratti Oh god Supremo. Can't even talk about him. Wiz is a strong opponent but with low FFA experience. Aarni is a weak opponent with high FFA experience. Neutron is the FULL METAL JACKET. There would have to be some serious teaming for him to lose on such a small map. Match 6 Trunkz Lil Tic Tox Xipotec Tox is unpredictable, and Xipotec is the weakest here. Trunkz is a runaway train that can only be stopped by teaming and base-racing. Lil Tic is a master of deception who knows how to win games and avoid teaming. If Tox gets manipped by Tic's classic tactics of hiding gold, using invis units, and teaming, then Trunkz can lose. Otherwise, its Trunkzs game. Match 7 Airenikus Joggel Godfather Dennis This is an even match with 4 players of somewhat similar power levels. Airen has a LOT of experience, and knows how to win games that don't include Qwest. Joggel is a powerhouse who can annihilate his opponents, but he never downloaded the manip package. Godfather is a prickly individual who can show some great games, and some great flames. Dennis is a relatively newer FFAer who has strong micro but has not yet learned his late-game decision making. Joggel is the favorite in a standard match on this small map, but if it gets messy, I'm going with Don Corleone. Match 8 Leluaami Toxi Reinforcement Red An interesting matchup on a medium sized map. Leluaami is another favorite to win the season, but he will face some fierce resistance with the micro from Toxi and the intelligence of Cement-. Red is outclassed here, but if he can do Necrowagon push and then carve out space for himself, he has a chance to make it to late game. Lelu is still the favorite, because his game sense, his manips, and his tree hiding will confuse Toxi into killing the others. Watch out for that island! Match 9 Qwest Jaod Seksi zTsoso Maybe the most stacked match of this round. Seksi and Soso are semi-retired and rusty, but they are still smart strong opponents on a large map like this. Jaod is also a good FFA player, especially with UD, but Qwest is the dark lord of Undead, the Voldemort of FFA. He will dominate this game in obvious, and also in subtle ways. I predict he will always have the most gold, and be impossible to eliminate, killing everyone with 100 army and 1 necropolis that can never be found. If Seksi and Soso use a strong mental approach to Qwest, then they have a chance. But none of them can 1v1 him, and they don't know that yet. April 01, 2022, 10:43:34 am |

Got a few questions
It's so cool FML is still going.  I started watching YouTube videos on Back2Warcraft and, man, I really miss this game. So, out of curiosity (and not promising anything!), I have some questions:How do you play online? Read something about Reforged screwing everything up but not sure what info is currently accurate. Is there still an active ladder or custom game scene for FFA? (Or even 4v4 RT to practice macro openings/fights?) If there is still an active FFA scene outside of the leagues/tourneys, what are games usually like? I've got an itch to play but not if it's 2.5+ hours per game. (Especially if those games consist of camping bases, building on islands, and hearing "omg lost all" every time a hero dies.) June 08, 2022, 04:34:18 pm |

Re: Got a few questions
Plush! good to see an orc legend return. Just download the Battle Net client to get to play. And then download the W3Champions client which is how the community plays ladder nowadays: https://www.w3champions.com/ Should only take a couple minutes The community is alive and well, and FFA is thriving. The ladder is active, and the RT and solo ladders are extremely active. FML seasons are also running, with a new event starting sometime later this summer. The games are actually quite good on ladder, the skill level has increased, and most of the maps are on the smaller side. I would say the average game length is about an hour now on ladder.

FML Season 33 | The Winner is...
 Congratulations to @qwest for finally winning a long-deserved FML trophy. With four wins in five matches, he's the first (full-time) undead player that takes the title since Tyrant did in 2015. His macro and tactical genious seemed unmatched this season and the final map pick proved to be clever. Thanks to all the participants and the admin team. After my hiatus, I really enjoyed to see some high-level FFA again and I was positively surprised by the absence of drama. Using Discord for orga and scheduling may have led to a bit more confusion every now and then, but it cut the effort for admins in half, in my opinion. Definitely something we'll do again. A bit prematurely, I stated some weeks ago that I'd be willing to run a Team Battle Royale this summer. With us approaching the middle of July, I'm not so sure anymore. While I enjoy many things about TBR, it's also way more challenging from an admin perspective. Furthermore, we got some additional hurdles (not all map files with zoom trigger, Blizzard deactivated shared accounts, etc. etc.). As I'm not the only admin, I don't want to rule it out entirely, but my real life obligations prevent me from playing a key role in it. Another FML Season that starts in Q3 seems more realistic. Last but not least, I don't want to leave unmentioned how much worse the FML Discord Chat has become in my eyes. I stated before that I don't enjoy it and I'm not willing to moderate it anymore. Still, in order for FML to be somewhat welcoming to fun people and new players, I kindly ask you to scale back sexism and toxicity. Cheers, HighTac July 10, 2022, 07:25:11 am |
