China's biggest Warcraft newspage, Replays.net, summed up the year 2014 by giving out awards to the best players there were. We translated it for you, so let us know what you think.
Player of the Year: Infi
When the master of towers and tanks came back from StarCraft II, nobody thought he would be able to reach his former strength again. But in 2014, Infi shut up all his critics in a remarkable way.
This was by far the most successful year of his career, even considering his WCG win in 2009. Winning WEC, WCA and WGT back to back and reaching second place in G-League brought him not only the first place in the Warcraft 3 Order of Merit but more than $72.000 in a so called dead game.
I've made a similar post on PlayFFA, however there was quite a bit of clamoring for a full set of VODs from the 2v2 tournament. They were a lot of fun, and I already have about 10 of the games casted with Purebe so I figured it would be a good project to go ahead and cast all of the games and upload them to YouTube. This will be the archive for them, however I plan to lock the thread so that the order can be preserved. If you have any feedback, critique or criticism then feel free to post it in the YouTube comments, or in our feedback thread here.
Cheers!

It's been a while since we talked bets, and I feel like we're doing a disservice to it. After season 3 which DV- won, we decided to take a break and revamp a few things. We've made some minor changes and have a few more big ones in store once we get time to implement them. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. If not, consider this a reminder that it's time to go ahead and get your act together to catch INS! Current top 8 can be found below, and the winner of the season will get something special in addition to the title of FML Bets Season 4 Winner!
There are only 12 games left in the season, so don't forget to place those bets as it's more important than ever right now.
Okay, so this is another new idea for the FFA channel. Don't worry, I haven't abandoned Game Night, though I do need to find some time to do more of them, but it should be something I'm able to continue easier. The title to this series as it stands is Creeping Patterns!, but I can't say I'm over the moon on the title so suggestions are welcome in the comments!
The premise for this new series is that I'll talk to the best players from all 4 races about creeping patters, scouting, build orders, etc for specific maps. What will make it more interesting though is that while we're talking, they'll be playing and doing exactly what they're describing. This allows me to ask specific questions as they happen, and gives visual clues to viewers that they might not be able to pick up just through listening or reading. My hope is that this will ease newer players into FFA, as well as help older players fine tune their game.
Comments and critique are highly encouraged as this is my first time doing a project like this, and I want to hear what works, what doesn't and what else you'd like to see! Thanks for watching everyone.
*** INS told a player he was quitting, however he has not informed an admin of his decision. He will have 24 hours to indicate he is playing, if he does not then Qwest will replace him.
Well folks, it's been a long, grinding, cruel and treacherous qualification period. Or at least, that's what I've been told. We'll ignore the massive amounts of no-shows, disconnects at bad times, and horrendous scheduling and move onto the positive: the regular season is here and we're a few months from having our 20th season champion crowned!
A brief recap of how the qualifiers will affect Season 20. The top 20 from the qualifiers will carry over into the regular season. The points will be reset, except for each player getting one point for each qualifier win, and there will be 3 rounds to the regular season. After that the top 3 players make the finals, with the top player getting map choice. Players 4-7 make the semi-finals and the 4th ranked player gets map choice.
The standings will be reset when Renaud is able to (busy currently), and scheduling threads will be up ASAP. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. Without further ado, your round 1 matches!
Map Choice 1: Silverpine Forest
Map Choice 2: Secret
Players will have until Wednesday January 7th, 14 EST/20CET to vote for their map choice.

Those of us at FML would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and happy holidays! We know that we have a lot to be thankful for such as this little old league entering it's 20th season now. Without all of you, there's no way we'd be at this point! So, thank you all for continuing to play and waste your time with us. We look forward to many more years of it.
Before we let you all go back to your less-important-than-us families, a few bits of housekeeping. First, after this round the regular season will begin. The top 20 from this round make it into the regular season. Second, this round has been extended a week due to the holidays, and now will end on January 4th. Finally, even if you don't make it into the main season, stick around for some exciting events coming up!
Now, go enjoy your families, drink too much and gain weight!
So I've been having issues finding music that I like for the closing portion of our YouTube videos. I figured I might have some good luck asking you guys for recommendations, and if there's something that everyone likes I'll add that in there.
There is one huge caveat however, the music must be royalty free. I can't use songs that need a license since they'll get yanked from YouTube if I do, and I'd rather not have to deal with that.
Feel free to just post a link to it on YouTube or any other platform.
