I hope one of the players that get to pick will decide to pick me along with other good players so we can have a good stacked match. Last FML game was quite enjoyable. I will try to make a better performance.
Cool objectives by the way - looking forward to this.
If the players other than cumulo use their brain they will keep on eye on him the entire game to make sure he is not banking on 50 or dominating his 1on1. That will increase their own chances of winning, and that is why 4-ways are a pain to play if your skill level is above the rest. In this case Cumulo is the clear favorite. If vale, fetta and fatty are smart they'll team him sooner rather than later. I'm guessing fetta knows how to take advantage of these situations - but fetta usually only manips when he is attacked so I can't say for sure. Vale could also win this potentially, but he does not have the moral code necessary to win FML games. The moral code needed to win 4-way FML is to not care about fairness or honor - you should always take advantage of the situation.

Tleilaxu Life FML|Pinballmap Eshan
Eshan is a sneaky devil but so is tleilaxu. They will do anything to win and have no moral complexes. I guess one of them will win in the end since those skill sets are often what is needed to win FML games. Life is a strong micro player that will be focused by eshan's intensive chat and teaming skills. Pinballmap will fly under the radar if he survives until the 3-way. That is probably his best bet to win this game. Anyway, I am going with laxu because he has improved his ffa sense in FML (stopping his own 1on1 to team the stronger players and taking advantage of the situation).

DV AJIKAIII Nline AlienWareOwnZ
The most stacked match in my opinion. I don't know about the fighting shape of Nline, but DV and alien are both in great shape right now. DV said he will not play and that is why i will go with Alien as my favorite.

If seksi doesn't get teamed he wins. If he gets teamed anything can happen.

j33 qwest Wrecktify FML|Magadansky
I think this match will be close. All players have good FFA sense and will do their best to keep an eye on everything that is going on. My bet is on Maga because he's stronger than the rest of the players now in my opinion (he is just a solid ffa player in almost any regard, which is something one cannot deny). I have no idea about wreck's shape. Qwest has been practicing a lot and knows how to play, but does not seem to find FML as easy as ladder. j33 playstyle is known to everyone - he knows how to take advantage of any situation and is often overlooked in games because he is not the strongest micro player imo. But he more then makes up for that in terms of ffa strategy and knowing how to make the best of any situation, which is of course what FML is about.
This weekend is not good for me. I might be able to play saturday afternoon or sunday afternoon, but that's about it. Can we schedule something next week?
I think it is narrow minded to say that me and dovekie are waving the white flag and refusing to adapt our playstyles just because we have a different opinion on FML and prefer playing other types of games where playstyles are different.
I think Dovekie may have a point about some races having an advantage in FML (such as UD and elf) that are often underestimated the longer the game goes, and therefore teaming switches naturally to other targets. With human and orc this is not always the case. Human rely on archmage for mana but mass TP often gets you teamed to death. Orc are so strong in fights vs elves and UD in particular so they often get teamed, and it really does not matter how much you change your style unless you are willing to lose your fights on purpose or play "mediocre" as Dovekie would put it.
Ideally I think it would be best to play these on saturday or any other day where gera cup is not being played because all the viewers may go for that instead.
Maybe I was not clear. I was trying to say that manipulation and taking strategical advantages are very important in FML. Ofc. great decision making and micro/macro etc. matters also
