Large map which means long game. I imagine Renaud will hoard 20k, Mog will fight someone early, someone will take the Tome of Fetta, only to have fetta hide and rebuild to try and rattatat his first win. Airenikus is on fire this season, he almost won again last round, and he knows how to hoard/micro/backstab. He will probably team someone out and snake the win.
Vale is slowly rising and with no UD in this game (after his ultimate threat to Junker) if vale survives to 3way he can win. Lssl and sweets are strong micro bad macro players and junker is an all around talented player who can also win. Depends who gets solo suicided.
Cumulo is riding his Llama trying to personally lead his team to victory. The Peruvian menace, the Scumulo, is playing on such a high level that he rushed Tyrant out last game, and gave Tyrant his first 4th place ever. Betoon is outclassed here and Aarni wont be able to handle 2v1 vs cumulo. So if Tyrant dies first again, the Llamas will bellow
if trunkz wins again he might surpass kanye as the most selfconfident person in the world. Which he should. I love trunkz. But not as much as trunkz loves trunkz. Trunkz has statues of himself in his room. He keeps a mirror on his screen at all times so he can self motivate himself. He sets up a webcam to tape himself playing. He doesnt watch replays of the match, he watches a replay of himself playing the match. Then he makes love to his "10/10" girlfriend while she whispers "I'm a vampire" to him as the Trunkz statues look down in self satisfied approval. Trunkz #1
Someone said Tom is the most improved player but its definitely Evilpeanut. But i cant give him the nod over the young Thor of FFA. Peanut and QQs tried to team together once, on emerald shores, vs Joey, and it was the saddest display ever witnessed. Actually maybe gradient could win! If he just goes tinker panda kotg, and says "y iq10?" everytime he kills a building
tyrant didnt care enough to chat at all, he just let them team him like it was okay
wreck aggroed trunks early and then didn't even fight for his life- he just surrendered to defeat.
QQs was slow and steady: the turtle who won the race

Re: Beginners FML FFA Guide
yes this is the hardest game mode. just because its less popular and has less skilled players, doesn't change the difficulty of the game mode. you guys are confusing gametype with competition
as a GAMETYPE, ffa is more difficult
if the SAME players played FFA and SOLO - their win % in FFA would be lower.
You're talking about the level of competition of solo vs ffa. Obviously solo is far more popular and the level of competition and skill is far higher. If you filled FML with happy, lawliet, foggy, grubby, all those guys - or if you filled it with a bunch of noobs, it doesn't change the nature of the gametype.
As a gametype, FFA is a more difficult game. Maybe if it were more simple, it would be more popular.
Also if FML is so easy i'm surprised you still dodge ;)

Re: Beginners FML FFA Guide
wow i didnt read cumulos post when i realized his attempt at simplification was an 11 paragraph essay. also when he took diplomacy out of 'set of skills' i assumed it was gonna be a biased argument. So im gonna skip that and go right to:
@Dovekie - i admit i see your point about always having a chance to win in FFA, while in other gametypes you may have 0% chance to win if your opponent is better. That's a good point. Solo is a binary gametype. AT/RT are more variable. And FFA has quite a bit of chaos.
Just like you say ffa is less difficult because you always have a chance to win, I also believe that FFA is MORE difficult because no matter how good you are, you can always lose. Solo is like a track race, FFA is much more like War. (Craft.)
Its more difficult to 'master' the FFA gametype. But I see your point about the other end of the spectrum, so I'm happy to say that FFA is a more 'complex' gametype than solo. Since you can always win, but no matter how good you are, you can also always lose.
Its much more difficult to have a high win % in FFA, but also easier to get a win when you are less skilled.
In the end thats why i prefer FFA to solo. While solo is just a nuclear arms race with one weapon: micro
FFA is a complex gametype with so many different ways and strategies that can help you win, so many outcomes, and thus it provides a richer experience that has kept me coming back for over 10 years.
