FFA Masters League

So, what room in GGC and who will host?

This became longer than I first intended. Feel free to skip the massive wall of text

Hi there =)

I'm sure most of the dedicated FFA players and oldschool players in general aren't too familiar with me. Others will probably recognize me. Either way, just keep reading if you want to know about me ^_^

I started playing during RoC but mostly against the computer or with/against my brothers. I eventually made my way to battle.net but our computer/internet made anything more than a-moving and hoping for the best impossible.

Up until 2006 I played 3v3 RT almost exclusively, playing random. Around that time I played a game of ladder 1v1 and got destroyed by some human going rifle/caster. I was shocked at how imbalanced it seemed. This was the first time I checked a replay that I lost. I learned the build he used and for the first time I played WC3 with a set plan: rifle/caster. My win% instantly shot up and around 2006-2007 I decided to properly learn 1v1. I decided to stick to Human. I found out about the pro scene, and sites like WCR, Replayers etc. I watched replays and listened to audios and I played 1v1 ladder and customs with better players and asked for advice and went from a 30% 3v3 RT playing noob to a decent soloer. Even though I was to become a lot better in the future, playing at a semipro level, it was during this time when the game was the most fun to me.

Eventually I got bored and, after a brief stint of SC:BW (D+ on ICCup), I started playing 3v3 RT again. That is, until I discovered 4v4 RT. I fell in love with the gametype and played almost nothing but 4v4 RT and 2v2/3v3/4v4 AT, with short switches to FFA. Sometime around late 2008 and early 2009 I got back into solo and for the first time played on a league team. It really motivated me and I met some great people. I kept steadily improving, doing well in clan wars, winning leagues with my team, and placing well in cups, earning a bit of money, beating notable players along the way, and was eventually invited to clan DkH.

I had already more or less gone inactive as I joined DkH, but I kept playing well for a while. I switched between SC2 and WC3 haphazardly until finally giving up on WC3, with brief returns to play Stars Wars Qualifiers, Zotac Cups, and league games when my team was short on players etc. In the end I just lacked motivation. half the matchups bored the hell out of me and all the leagues and cups had a habit of removing bigger macro maps and insisting on using small 2-player maps. Still, I'm proud of where I got to as far as 1v1 goes, considering it was such a small part of my time playing WC3, and I'm proud of the great games I produced and I had a blast all the while.

So, yeah, not much FFA experience, but I think I have a decent grasp of how the gametype works. Really I'm just an inactive player looking to have some fun and support the continued WC3 community, because while SC2 might be a good or even great game, it can never ever touch WC3 =)

Sounds like we can all play on saturday the 13th. Does that work? I'm guessing since 2 america, 2 euro, we can play sometime between 12:00pm - 7:00pm EST (18:00 - 1:00 CET)

Uzbekistan isn't in Europe.

Anyway, Saturday isn't great for me because of Zotac Cup, unless it's after 20+ CET or so (which didn't seem to suit ffs_di.fm).

Also, what are we doing as far as hosting goes?
