Fetta Inc. vs Rage Critters vs Free Ena vs Suicide Squad

:TM: M25
:Germany: :orc: MrSweets [Inc]
:Germany: :hu: LssL [Rage]
:Germany: :ne: Trunks [Ena]
:Switzerland: :hu: Noexxx [SS]

Would be a good game if noexxx played, he first said he would now he changed his mind so who knows.  Either trunks wins easy unless he is teamed out.

:DL: M26
:World: :orc: Betoon [Inc]
:Russia: :orc: Airenikus [Rage]
:Austria: :ne: TomToast [Ena]
:France: :ne: Ponty [SS]

Interesting game I think any of the 4 realistically can win but Tom and ponty are the favorites.

:DR: M27
:Sweden: :orc: Fetta_ook [Inc]
:Finland: :ne: Aarnikratti [Rage]
:Russia: :ud: Jaod [Ena]
:Germany: :ra: SosoHasRedHair [SS]

3 raging psychos and a super good player jaod.  Would be interesting to see this game for sure.

:HS: M28
:USA: :orc: IWANTWC4 [Inc]
:Germany: :ne: HighTac [Rage]
:Germany: :hu: QQs [Ena]
:USA: :ra: AlienWareOwnZ [SS]

From what I can tell QQs hightac and myself are all fairly passive and alien can be aggressive or passive.  So this has the potential to be a long 4 way.  But it also has the potential that QQs could still be pissed about gold rush and rush me out and alien could quickly tome hightac and it'll be a quick game.

Either way alien and QQs are the favorites, I'll pick alien as the winner.

:Peru: :ra: Black-Magician [FREE]
:Hungaria: :ud: Tyrant [Zig]
:Peru: :hu: Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]
:Lithuania: :hu: EvilPeanut [BM]

Tyrant is the favorite.  Best player and good manipulation.  But cumulo "randomly" has his Peru buddy in this game so ya.....

:DL: M30
:Germany: :orc: Joggel [FREE]
:Sweden: :ra: Junkerzam [Zig]
:Canada: :ne: Renaud [CoR]
:USA: :ne: WRECKTIFY [BM]

Joggel loses.  And ummm any of the other 3 can win.  Expect 3 hours MINIMUM

:DR: M31
:Poland: :ne: Gradient [FREE]
:USA: :ra: Eshan [Zig]
:USA: :ra: Seksi [CoR]
:Germany: :ra: Slythe [BM]

Eshan is the favorite but seksi and slythe are right there as well.  The question is can Eshan keep is composure or Not? Him and seksi butt heads a bit in the game on market.

:HS: M32
:Argentina: :ne: Supremo [FREE]
:USA: :ne: Mog [Zig]
:France: :hu: Valefort [CoR]
:Russia: :ne: Dinamo [BM]

Might as well not even play this game.  3 bottom tier players.  Prolly the worst 3 this whole season, and mog.  Free win mog.   Unless they 3v1 him of course.

:Germany: :orc: MrSweets [Inc]
:Germany: :hu: LssL [Rage]
:Germany: :ne: Trunks [Ena]
:Switzerland: :hu: Noexxx [SS]

Trunks will probably rush out Noexxx, and the other two couldnt 2v1 Trunkz out even if they had the ability to share resources and PM.

:DL: M26
:World: :orc: Betoon [Inc]
:Russia: :orc: Airenikus [Rage]
:Austria: :ne: TomToast [Ena]

Either Tom or Ponty.  I haven't played against Ponty / cast his games yet so I dont have a feel on his skill level this season though.

:Sweden: :orc: Fetta_ook [Inc]
:Finland: :ne: Aarnikratti [Rage]
:Russia: :ud: Jaod [Ena]

Jaod must have known he'd have Shaved and Fetta on this orc-centric map, which makes me think he has a plan!

:HS: M28
:USA: :orc: IWANTWC4 [Inc]
:Germany: :ne: HighTac [Rage]
:Germany: :hu: QQs [Ena]
:USA: :ra: AlienWareOwnZ [SS]

Everyone will probably think they have WC4's number now, which means he will still be able to manip.

:DL: M30
:Germany: :orc: Joggel [FREE]
:Sweden: :ra: Junkerzam [Zig]
:Canada: :ne: Renaud [CoR]
:USA: :ne: WRECKTIFY [BM]

Seems like the type of game Renaud will win.  Don't really know Joggel's story.  I may be too busy asking Junkerzam about his beard-care to micro.

:DR: M31
:Poland: :ne: Gradient [FREE]
:USA: :ra: Eshan [Zig]
:USA: :ra: Seksi [CoR]
:Germany: :ra: Slythe [BM]

Slythe will unload 10 invisible mortars in all three of their bases simultaneously, all-killing in the most explosive 20 minute victory in the history of FML!

:HS: M32
:Argentina: :ne: Supremo [FREE]
:USA: :ne: Mog [Zig]
:France: :hu: Valefort [CoR]

Good map/matchup for Dinamo.  EZ win I suspect.

fetta will try his luck vs some orange camp and lose his bm
but actually... he will certainly go elf and be out at 10min mark after failing miserably his early bear hippo push
Shave will get teamed for name so its between arni and jaod

:HS: M28
:USA: :orc: IWANTWC4 [Inc]
:Germany: :ne: HighTac [Rage]
:Germany: :hu: QQs [Ena]

Alien will get 3n1 at 10min mark while Hightac and Iwantwc4 will hoard 20k
no idea of the winner

:Peru: :ra: Black-Magician [FREE]
:Hungaria: :ud: Tyrant [Zig]
:Peru: :hu: Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]
:Lithuania: :hu: EvilPeanut [BM]

No clue who Black-Magician is, i guess he wont even show. I see tyrant outsmarting others in this game
Nevermind the map is too small for that, Peanut will get overlooked and win

:DL: M30
:Germany: :orc: Joggel [FREE]
:Sweden: :ra: Junkerzam [Zig]
:Canada: :ne: Renaud [CoR]
:USA: :ne: WRECKTIFY [BM]

3 players who are equally quite good in FML games and Joggel who isnt bad either. Renauds gold management will prevail

:DR: M31
:Poland: :ne: Gradient [FREE]
:USA: :ra: Eshan [Zig]
:USA: :ra: Seksi [CoR]
:Germany: :ra: Slythe [BM]

I don't think gradient will be allowed to rebuild with these players. I would bet on Slythe, Eshan and Seksi will probably focus each others too much

:HS: M32
:Argentina: :ne: Supremo [FREE]
:USA: :ne: Mog [Zig]
:France: :hu: Valefort [CoR]
:Russia: :ne: Dinamo [BM]

Whoever fights supremo will be suicided whole game by this idiot while Mog will prob manip and hide gold in a sneaky way.
Valefort should win this if he doesnt get tunnelvisioned by Dinamo or Supremo

:TM: M25
:Germany: :orc: MrSweets [Inc]
:Germany: :hu: LssL [Rage]
:Germany: :ne: Trunks [Ena]
:Switzerland: :hu: Noexxx [SS]

Although Trunks doesn't seem to have returned to his summer skill level yet, he's still in beast mode. I really hope Noe is going to show up. If so, this could become a really interesting match, particularly on TM. Sweets and LssL are both decent solo players and I hope LssL as Rage Critter will go out of Trunks' way early.

:DL: M26
:World: :orc: Betoon [Inc]
:Russia: :orc: Airenikus [Rage]
:Austria: :ne: TomToast [Ena]
:France: :ne: Ponty [SS]

Interesting line up. Airenikus, Tom and Ponty all know how to win a match and Betoon doesn't need to be afraid of my mass hunts here. :icon_lol:

For my Rage Critter Mate, I hope that Ponty in rage mode and Tom in troll mode will tunnelvision each other.

:DR: M27
:Sweden: :orc: Fetta_ook [Inc]
:Finland: :ne: Aarnikratti [Rage]
:Russia: :ud: Jaod [Ena]
:Germany: :ra: SosoHasRedHair [SS]

There should be a ban for these kind of line-ups or at least a separate discord channel named "the after game flame channel". Thinking about it, that might not be the worst idea I ever had.

I've seen too many stacked BMs on Deathrose recently to really make a bet here. Whoever plays Orc (sorry Jaod) will have an edge.

:HS: M28
:USA: :orc: IWANTWC4 [Inc]
:Germany: :ne: HighTac [Rage]
:Germany: :hu: QQs [Ena]
:USA: :ra: AlienWareOwnZ [SS]

I just recognized I don't want to play a 3h match again. Damn, should've picked another map.

Free Agent Squad vs Zig Zag ZIGGURAT! vs Church of Renaud vs Bad Manneroths

:TM: M29
:Peru: :ra: Black-Magician [FREE]
:Hungaria: :ud: Tyrant [Zig]
:Peru: :hu: Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]
:Lithuania: :hu: EvilPeanut [BM]

Peruvian forces just munched a mushroom and double their power. This match (on TM) will depend a lot on how good the Magician is and how he handles the burden to be picked over ToX by Free Agent Squad. Cumulo and Peanut are top 3 human players and have an aggressive style. I hope Tyrant will play UD (difficult here, but I love to watch it) and hold on until 3-way.

:DL: M30
:Germany: :orc: Joggel [FREE]
:Sweden: :ra: Junkerzam [Zig]
:Canada: :ne: Renaud [CoR]
:USA: :ne: WRECKTIFY [BM]

Joggel has no luck with his lineups so far. Still, in his match last week he proved to be a very decent random player. I just hope he will learn how to try hard until the end and not lose focus (as in most matches so far). Wreck and Junker are in good shape and should be the favorites here. While Wreck impressed me with his irresistible co-casting, Junker is still underrated in my eyes. Rating him just by his performance in the previous two playweeks (Silverpine and Sanctuary), he's a top 3 player in my eyes. Just don't play orc or nightelf please!

Nonetheless, I have to mark Wreck as the favorite here, or he will stop casting with me.

:DR: M31
:Poland: :ne: Gradient [FREE]
:USA: :ra: Eshan [Zig]
:USA: :ra: Seksi [CoR]
:Germany: :ra: Slythe [BM]

Weird but promising line-ups this week. Contrary to M27, where chat will explode only after the game, I expect a very chat-heavy clash here. Mostly between Slythe and Eshan, garnished with some cryptic commentary by Gradi. When it comes to Seksi, only one thing is certain: He will be annoyed in this game. I can't really tell though, where he stands skill-wise. I have seen more weak than strong performances by him in recent weeks. If he's the only one who stays calm here, the favorite role is his.

:HS: M32
:Argentina: :ne: Supremo [FREE]
:USA: :ne: Mog [Zig]
:France: :hu: Valefort [CoR]
:Russia: :ne: Dinamo [BM]

Smart as he is, Supremo chose a map again, where he can ask for rehosting (because of lags), until he has his desired spawn position.  :icon_twisted:

Good line-up for Mog I would say. All his three enemies here astonished with spectacular decisions in their previous matches (Vale immediately cross-mapping on Freezing Fields, Supremo suiciding Life on Gold Rush and being notoriously incapable of hoarding, Dinamo being Dinamo). Could become interesting.

:TM: M25
:Germany: :orc: MrSweets [Inc]
:Germany: :hu: LssL [Rage]
:Germany: :ne: Trunks [Ena]
:Switzerland: :hu: Noexxx [SS]

I guess the only german here is Trunks :D MrSweets is spamming in russian our discord channel like Trunks/Shave and me do in german.

I hope Noexxx is somehow in good form that we can see here a nice game. All are quite good micro players, therefore we going to see 2 nice 1n1's. I'm guessing that Trunks can pull again a win here, since once his DH reached lvl 6 it's GEGE.

:DL: M26
:World: :orc: Betoon [Inc]
:Russia: :orc: Airenikus [Rage]
:Austria: :ne: TomToast [Ena]
:France: :ne: Ponty [SS]

Favorites are here Ponty and Airenikus. I can't believe that Airenikus can still flies under the radar, even here in the predictions. He is a good micro player and showed us quite often that he can hoard like a Dagobert Duck. Betoon is in his first season and lacks a bit on micro and good decision making. Tommy Boy will probably play Elf, since his anxieties against tanks won't brude him here. Well, and we have Ponty. He will get most likely teamed for name, but he is back in his old shape and can even take a 2n1. My bet is on Tom. Go Free ENA Mate!

:Sweden: :orc: Fetta_ook [Inc]

I completely agree with Hightac here, give them their own Channel. I think we will see the first win of Shave in this season. Sorry Jaod :-*  Who ever takes out Fetta first will get teamed by the others until they balanced it to a 3 way where everyone is able to win.

:Peru: :ra: Black-Magician [FREE]
:Hungaria: :ud: Tyrant [Zig]
:Peru: :hu: Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]
:Lithuania: :hu: EvilPeanut [BM]

Tyrant is showing good performances in our inhouse games. Probably the best player at the moment, but Cumulo and EvilPeanut are also good micro players, which is quite important on TM. I have no clue about Black-Magican, but he got summoned from Supremo, therefore I think his ffa knowledge will be as bad as Supremo's. I'm hoping Cumulo is winning here, since the other two's already collected enough points.

:DL: M30
:Germany: :orc: Joggel [FREE]
:Sweden: :ra: Junkerzam [Zig]
:Canada: :ne: Renaud [CoR]
:USA: :ne: WRECKTIFY [BM]

We see here a bunch of old schoolers, I don't Joggel yet, but Hightac said he is a  decent player. And since Hightac the German version of Aarni is, I'm going to trust him. Therefore we can assume to see a good game with sneaky moves and a funny chat. I think Junker is winnig that game, don't ask me why.

:DR: M31
:Poland: :ne: Gradient [FREE]
:USA: :ra: Eshan [Zig]
:USA: :ra: Seksi [CoR]
:Germany: :ra: Slythe [BM]

Eshan and Seksi again in the same Game, but this time without Shave and myself, which turned out in a really weird game, maybe the clash between Seksi and Eshan will be a different this time, just kidding, flame war will start after the gold is running out. Slythe didn't show a good performance yet and I would recommend him to play standard tac to be able to win here. As always Gradi is a wildcard and anything can happen. I think Eshan will sneak his way to the win, which he already showed us twice this season.

:HS: M32
:Argentina: :ne: Supremo [FREE]
:USA: :ne: Mog [Zig]
:France: :hu: Valefort [CoR]
:Russia: :ne: Dinamo [BM]

I have the feeling that Mog can win that game easy, since Supremo has no clue about upkeep, Valefort is still not back in shape, but at least we won't see a cross mapping move to an UD in this match up and Dinamo who is somehow playing bad this season.

:Germany: :ne: Trunks [Ena]
:Switzerland: :hu: Noexxx [SS]

Its always sad when the best player in FFA might not show up. And if Noexxx does, will he be in shape? Trunkz seems to be the favorite now. Will MrSweets and Lssl be anything more than tomes and pawns? Could be an easy win for Tiger Trunkz, or will the Swiss God of FFA make a triumphant return?

:France: :ne: Ponty [SS]

Betoon has really failed to impress so far. He seems to understand the game intellectually but it hasnt translated in his play. Airenkus is crafty, Tom can be hit or miss, and Ponty has shown some real fighting skill this season. Anyone can win, but Ponty is slightly better  here.

I agree that this might be shaves first win - but depends who his first opponent is. If its fetta tome or honor jaod, shave could win it all. If its aarniCRYtti then its anyones game.

:USA: :ra: AlienWareOwnZ [SS]

Well some players just cant get enough of each other. And have very obvious map preferences. Alien is the best player here, but hes playing 3 passive hoarding manippers. Whoever alien tomes first, the other two will team him. He will have to either steamroll them all like the tiger he is, or play a totally different gamestyle to win. Hightac showed some lack of focus near the end last round so maybe QQs or Wc4 can win it all. One of then will hoard 15k+ and despite pregame bullshit, none will suicide

:Peru: :ra: Black-Magician [FREE]
:Hungaria: :ud: Tyrant [Zig]
:Peru: :hu: Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]
:Lithuania: :hu: EvilPeanut [BM]

Will Black Magician fight for the light for FFA in Peru? Or will he join Scumulo's dark forces? Maybe he can bring a good name to the now-tarnished Latin American country that Scumulo has defamed. Evilpeanut showed a new skill to his game last round. So far he has been known for high micro and early aggression, but last round he turned into a patient hoarding manipulator who outsmarted his opponents. Tyrant is always a top player but as we saw last round, humba can destroy him. He will have a tough match with two mass TP, backstabbing humans. In the end I see Scumulo using his Peruvian pawn like a puppet to team out the other players, and then winning with hidden gold.

:DL: M30
:Germany: :orc: Joggel [FREE]
:Sweden: :ra: Junkerzam [Zig]
:Canada: :ne: Renaud [CoR]
:USA: :ne: WRECKTIFY [BM]

This should be a great game to watch. 4 friendly talented players, two champions.Joggel has impressed in two rounda with great battle skills. It remains to be seen if he can put it all together and actually get a win. Will be unlikely for him as he faces three top veterans. Renaud is a threat on big maps, and he thrives in games with other elves, where his macro and strategic play can flourish. Junkerzam is in top shape these days, going two v one and also fighting even with trunkZ. But if he goes Hu he might get teamed out. Wreck needs no introduction, hes a 4 time champ and on top of the standings again. Hard to vote against him.

:Poland: :ne: Gradient [FREE]
:USA: :ra: Eshan [Zig]
:USA: :ra: Seksi [CoR]
:Germany: :ra: Slythe [BM]

Should be quite an interesting game. Slythe can be very creative and has his own sense of honor. I'm one of the 3 players he suicided in his past 50 games so hopefully THAT doesnt happen. Gradi is ofc a pure macro player, who prefers economy harrass and building kill. He prepares for the late game from the beginning, and never fucking dies. I imagine he will lose his base early but hide around the map to influence the outcome. Seksi is the original serpent, master of subtle manips and critical backstabs that deal killing blows. His micro, at times, is unparalleled (with UD) and he literally wrote a guide on FFA. I often view him as my shadow version, as we both play random and are American old school FFAers. We often tunnel each other and end up both losing the game.

:HS: M32
:Argentina: :ne: Supremo [FREE]
:USA: :ne: Mog [Zig]
:France: :hu: Valefort [CoR]
:Russia: :ne: Dinamo [BM]

Supremo is a robot and ive never seen him win a game. He usually just ruins the chances for the first player he hits. Valefort played emotionally last game and auto suicided the UD, but could flourish here with three elves. Dinamo always starts strong and if he can build up steam he can roll to a win. Mog plays well and should be the favorite, but his tinker wont be useful here. With 3 elves and a human, one wrong move and your base is gone.

I like Noexxx here in a game where Trunks can't get level 5 DH easy through AOW creeping.  Maybe Trunks will play Bear/Dryad and impress.

:Austria: :ne: TomToast [Ena]
:France: :ne: Ponty [SS]

I don't know the players very well but Ponty has become a solid player even if micro isn't quite as good.   I think he should play aggressively with 100 food as these players may not be able to coordinate teaming as wel.

These players are all pretty good and better than I thought.  Alien is always solid, gotta go with the Random player love

Supercumulo has been mad at me for not giving full effort this season.  I expect him to unleash his love-for-USA-from-Peru-wrath and out play Peanut and Tyrant. 

:DL: M30
:Germany: :orc: Joggel [FREE]
:Sweden: :ra: Junkerzam [Zig]

:USA: :ne: WRECKTIFY [BM]

Junkerzam wasn't mentioned in the Greatest Players Of All Time thread by mistake.  I like Junker and he plays random and isn't too annoying to play against.  Wrecktify is a safe pick but I think his skill level is not too high.  Renaud is a safe pick too.. but its Junker's game!

Eshan lives in NY and I know his full name and street address even though he doesn't divulge that sensitive information.  I know where he eats, sleeps, and verbally abuses Fetta via keyboard.  Slythe makes every game fun with his creative but competitive playstyle and Gradient is like a friendly brontosaurus.

Mog was another left out of the top players by accident.  He is a perfect FFA mold for these type of games (not with a super micro player like Trunks).  He has average micro which means he doesn't get over teamed, yet understands FFA completely, macro, army composition and gold management.  I will always remember Mog for winning FML Finals against Wrecktify in a game where Wreck confidently (arrogantly?) messaged the observers "this used to be more difficult" before eventually losing to Mog.

I like that you yadda-yaddad through the finals game youre talking about, where I crush Mog, the highly-overrated Tyrant, and some other joker who plays orc.
 LEL or something? I cant remember.   

Edit: also mog and tyrant are preteamers.
