ancient feuds are revived as former enemies struggle vs new foes. will the old hatreds lead to future bloodshed, or will frosty allegiances form where fiery lava once boiled...
in round 1 i barely escaped Articuno, now I face Zapdos...and Team Rocket. glhf
M9 Gradient qwest Airenikus SyDe
on paper it looks like a good lineup, but in reality qwest doesnt lose vs this cast. everyone will be too busy teaming SyDe aka Articuno to notice that qwest did exactly the same thing he does every single game: hoard gold and hide 100. unless SyDe rushes him, but i think qwest could even hold it. gradient will go 100 to backstab someone in 4way. airenikus seems rusty, and had a poor showing last game, i don't expect him to be much more than a bat/tower guy here. qwest's micro and experience wins out with +3 pts
M10 supremo letshavesomefun junkerzam Enjoi
the last two champs. junker was by far the best player here, but hes rusty and shave has improved. whoever tomes supremo will have a big lead, but shave has learned how to hoard under the radar and avoid teaming. enjoi has good manners and nice skills, i'd like to see him prevail here, but i won't bet against the "champ"
M11 GivenToFly sheik NoMercy2 ostone
seeker played nicely last round, ostone and nomercy did not...unless borat gives us a time machine performance, sheik should dominate with +3 pts.
M12 Peanut rulaZ 5te1n headintheclouds
a very interesting match. i give rulaZ the slight edge here, because he has a talent for maintaining his composure under pressure. but peanut could outwit them all. i doubt stein will get away with any cheese with this cast, he better prepare some new godlike strategy since losing 100 food vs 3 heroes didn't seem to work. punpun fought well last round, but he relies too much on micro and early aggression to be successful vs these wiley coyotes.
M13 Voxius Leluaami trunkz tukimkim
godzilla vs mecha-godzilla. two top elves with completely opposite styles who both dominated their first round matches by passing 20k gold. it really depends on spawns, but if lelu is able to avoid being rushed by trunkz, i think he can win. if mecha-trunkz can eliminate lelu, the other two have 0 chance of stopping him.
M14 Vyvanne fetta_ook M00se LION
vyvanne and m00se are both rare UD's who play with honor. vyvanne will gain an early lead, by toming one of these players, but the call of the fetta will soon get vyvanne teamed. m00se and LION showed their willingness to join forces last game (even though they failed badly.) if fetta manips them into eliminating vyvanne, then fetta wins. if not, i'll go with my murican brother, the Elsha-of-IEL
Thanks for the nostalgic writeup! I joined FFA and Lone in 2006 or so, and I always heard of XHunters as a FFA pioneer and amazing elf player. I knew many of the players you have mentioned, including i-never-smile, who recently made a reappearance himself a few months ago. If you join the discord you might have some luck in reconnecting with him. XX still plays, as does Alien, and Target sometimes.
Hope you start playing again, there's a third party software called W3Champions that all the top players in every game type play on. If you use that, you will be able to play ladder. I'm sure it will take some time to shake off the micro rust, but core FFA strategy remains the same :)
was a great season, well organized and well structured. 4 rounds, several brackets, good point system (but +3 for top score is too much). overall a pleasure to play this season. thank you @ admins for the hard work and dedication to the FFA gametype
