Season 22 Round 3 Matches

[Magadansky]

After another quick drawing, we are standing at the gates of Round 3. The round will be critical, not only because you might get firelord/naga/beastmaster as heroes, but also because after it, the bottom 12 players in the league will go to the losers bracket from where they will only have one tiny chance to reach the Grand Final.

The map for this round is Monsoon Random Heroes:

Post your predictions below!

[SteppinRazor]

M19

DV
Eshan
Hudkraem
QQs

I think this will be mainly between Eshan and DV.  Eshan will get some horrible hero combo like 3 Paladins with undead and he will use this to manip hudd and qq into teaming out DV and in the end will building kill everyone else with his 3 pallys

M20

letshavesomefun
AlienWareOwnZ
ZsSuperCumulo
FML|Renaud

It doesn't matter what the odds are, Renaud always uses panda potm keeper and he will get these heroes regardless.  Cumulo will get 3 Nagas due to his naga obsession.  Alien and shave will suicide eachother each with 3 BM's all criting everything.  Renaud ez win

M21

J4ODY
SteppinRazor
F10EX
Dinamo

M22

FML|Pinballmap
KENT25666
Fail.Life
FML|WorpeX

WORPEX WILL RAGEQUIT AT 3 MIN MARK WHEN HE DOESNT GET CL FIRST.  Then its threeway, FailLife is a strong micro player and can kill Kent and PBM with fast 100 food force

M23

Magadansky
noexxx
AJIKAIII
Nline

This game should be epic, maga will probably random dk lich DL while everyone else gets screwed so they will team him out.  Nline will random LICH TINKER FL and use it in conjunction will mass bats for the ultimate base destroying force and take the win

M24

Wrecktify
Valefort
qwest
NoMercy2

Valefort will not only be faced with 2 undeads, but he will get DK first as human thus sealing his fate as "forever screwed over by undead."  Wreck will get AM first as human, giving him an epic mass tp mass chims strategy to abuse.  The undeads will try to team him and qwest will manip alot which will result in nomercy suiciding him for his annoyingness

M25

junkerzam
Fetta
Tleilaxu
CallMeImba

Fetta Laxu and CMI are all big time talkers in their games.  I think this game will have a manip overload which will thus make it best for someone like junker to squelch everyone else.  I expect this game will be at least 2 hours, and junker can pull of the win if he ignores all the flaming that will go on 

M26

ena1337
HeavyWeight
fatty
Ponty

Inspired by Donald Trump, TGW will build a massive wall of towers across the entire middle of the map allowing him hoard upwards of 4.5 billion gold.  And he will make ena and ponty pay for the wall while promising he will make wc3 great again.  Realizing they have no money and cannot get past the wall, ena and ponty will both ragequit.  Fatty will be allowed in due to the fact that hes America, but he will lose because we all know that 27 fiends is not a good army to build

M27

Seksi
j33.
zTsoso
SweeT

This game will be actually quite short I imagine, and will feature soso and sweet hardcore suicide eachother while seksi quickly tomes j33 off and then cleans up.  That, or it will be a 6+ hour game full of all kinds of manip and rebuiliding...

[Seksi]

j33 may be the most underrated skilled player.  Don't underestimate him!  These games look great.  I'll post my predictions later tonight.  gl hf everyone!

[ZsSuperCumulo]

will games be played in the 1.27 or 1.26 patch ? because you have 1.27 you can't join games hosted in 1.26 tt

[Pinballmap]

1.27. the fmlbot is online again ;) And i already hosted a game. works.

[Tleilaxu]

Steppin you can only get two of the same Hero.
Also, I am better than Junker and beat him 4/5 times in ffa 1V1.

M19

DV
Eshan
Hudkraem
QQs

Smart of DV to choose a chatcrafter like Eshanna. Hud for some reason has a tendency to suicide chatters, so that will greatly increase DV's chances to win.

M20

letshavesomefun
AlienWareOwnZ
ZsSuperCumulo
FML|Renaud

Shave won't go random, because he knows he gets tomed when he doesn't play orc, but actually since this map won't guarantee him a blademaster it might not matter anyway.
Alien and Shave will obviously team out the most dangerous opponent, zs.superculo aka PERU.RAMROM, but in the process Renaud will stealthily hoard 30k gold and take the win with 100 food hidden fairy dragons in the end.

M21

J4ODY
SteppinRazor
F10EX
Dinamo

Jaod probably wins this without even trying.

M22

FML|Pinballmap
KENT25666
Fail.Life
FML|WorpeX

Hard to say really. I guess I have to favor PBM but it's well known that orc players can barely play without BM in general (no offense intended).

M23

Magadansky
noexxx
AJIKAIII
Nline

I really like Nline, but he seems quite vulnerable to early rushers, and since he is in a game with 3 early rushers I'm pretty sure  he will be the first one to die, unless both humans decide to rush Maga (Alkash with copter gryph, Noexxx with the same mass gryph he does every game).
Should be an action packed game regardless.

M24

Wrecktify
Valefort
qwest
NoMercy2

Qwest has the most random hero experience, but he tends to underestimate his opponents, often playing far too greedy.
Wreck showed last match that his skills are not completely gone after playing battle-cards the last couple of years.
NoMercy2 will probably get tomed first, either by wreck or  by Vale (while Qwest hoards).


M26

ena1337
HeavyWeight
fatty
Ponty

Fatty really lacks FFA sense, and Ponty's ffa sense also often sucks, as we saw in his last game where he didn't use hidden army until he was already 100% dead.
Still, we learn from our mistakes, so I think this could be a close game since most of the players are on a similar skill level, although TGW is definitely the most skilled overall.
Ena plays orc so without the blademaster right click and a buddy to hand him the free win he will probably die ~3rd.

M27

Seksi
j33.
zTsoso
SweeT

RIP Soso.
Really depends on the sub, but sweet is automatically at a disadvantage since he is also and Orc player.
Seksi has one of the most inflated egos in the scene, but he is still a good player.
Without scrubs to manip though, it's not going to be easy for him.
I would probably favor j33 overall since he seems to have the best ffa sense, and elf is generally less penalized by random heroes  than Undead for example.

[Ponty]

M19

DV
Eshan
Hudkraem
QQs


DV is by far the best player of this group in terms of micro, but Eshan manages to win a lot of games, i think DV will be able to counter Eshan strategies and win the game. Hud and QQs might be overwhelmed by the 2 experienced players.

M20

letshavesomefun
AlienWareOwnZ
Zs.SuperCumulo
FML|Renaud

Nice cast, i find it pretty hard to predict, if shave manages to survive until he gets good hero levels he can win it, although cumulo is a direct threat to him since he plays human and orc is weak vs hu early. I consider Renaud a bit under the others skillwise but still very capable of winning it, despite the rust. At his place I'd be worried about late stage humans who can easily kill elfs just by a clicking with tanks. I recommand him to rush cumulo and pray for alien to have another race than human. Otherwise he will have to rely on rebuilding or manipping unless he manages to keep a strong economy all game (cf the replay where i rape cumulo ;) )

M21

J4ODY
SteppinRazor
F10EX
Dinamo

Jaod is playing good recently and it seems there are no good orcs in this game (which is the race he doesnt like to face i think), so he has good chances to win this one. Steppin is a rather good undead, i hope he chooses ud rather than an other race to put all the chances on his side vs the others.

M22

FML|Pinballmap
KENT25666
Fail.Life
FML|WorpeX

This game is also hard to predict i'd say players have approximatevely an equal level except Fail.Life who got better mechanics (micro/macro) than the others, his ffa sense/scouting is maybe lower though. I think anyone can take it.

M23

Magadansky
Noexxx
AJIKAIII
Nline

 Taliux's prediction was good concerning this game so i won't add anything since i agree with him.

M24

Wrecktify
Valefort
qwest
NoMercy2

I feel Wreck will go 100 quickly and kill someone early (maybe qwest who will stay 50 for ages) then get teamed the rest of the game. I don't think he will be able to handle the teaming. I smell a lot of rebuilding there.

M25

junkerzam
Fetta
Tleilaxu
CallMeImba

Junkerzam is by far the most accomplished player here, so i expect him to get hardly teamed by fetta and laxu since CallmeImba will probably be rushed out.
Since fetta and laxu hate each others their alliance won't last long and junker will most likely profit of it.


M27

Seksi
j33.
zTsoso
SweeT

Even though Seksi and Soso are ahead the 2 others i think everyone can win it. This game will have a long 3-way where i expect Seksi or Sweet to flourish.

[Seksi]

(Before I start, laxu saying I have inflated ego after he has to note that he has beaten Junker 4/5 times in 1v1 FFA and is better then him hahaha).  I am a competitor, I play to be the best and improve my game, I don't brag for rushing out Nline or outplaying someone because I've been on the other end too.  You can be confident and humble.  You shouldn't confuse that.  By the way, Junker is a better player then you, who are you kidding? 

Predictions:

M19

DV
Eshan
Hudkraem
QQs

DV (along with j33) is probably the most underrated player.  Skilled, smart, and experienced.  Random heroes is tricky, but I think he will pull this one out. 

M20

letshavesomefun
AlienWareOwnZ
ZsSuperCumulo
FML|Renaud

Awesome cast.  My friend Renaud just may be outmatched in terms of macro and shape against any one of these three.  Cumulo is strong - but may the force be with him with random heroes.  Shave is an underrated player too, he can fight and compete with anyone if playing well.  I will pick Alien in this game as my fellow random competitor who is both in good shape and with a cool demeanor. 

M21

J4ODY
SteppinRazor
F10EX
Dinamo

SteppinRazor is the friendly face that has been around FML forever, with the intelligence, sense and potential to be great but has maybe been missing something all along.  Against this cast of generally inexperienced FFA players, I think he will pull out with a strong victory. 

M22

FML|Pinballmap
KENT25666
Fail.Life
FML|WorpeX

I believe WorpeX will get an awesome hero combo and play a strong game.  Fail.Life has potential but is still budding.  It will be interesting to see how PBM and Kent play with random heroes.  Cool map too!

M23

Magadansky
noexxx
AJIKAIII
Nline

Sick cast.  Maga, Noexx, and Nline could all be in the top 5 of players in shape.  AJ has proven to be no slouch either.  I expect big fights in this one.  Undead is not bad in random heroes, but Orc is and Human is really awesome in Random heroes.  Maga is one of the fiercest competitors, but its tough to vote against a Human, and noexxx prob the best human at the moment (other human players close behind).  Looking forward to this one. 

M24

Wrecktify
Valefort
qwest
NoMercy2

Sticking with the Human theme, I see Qwest and Wreck battling a lot and Valefort winning in a long 3 way in the same fashion as round 1 (against myself/Alien).  NoMercy2 will have to play a great game to win here. 
M25

junkerzam
Fetta
Tleilaxu
CallMeImba

I don't know what's up with laxu's bashing of Junkerzam - I think he is a solid player.  Maybe I will be proven wrong and laxu will pull out an epic necrowagon with some sick random heroes.  Fetta has yet to make his impression felt this season, same with CMI. 

M26

ena1337
HeavyWeight
fatty
Ponty

Ponty, aka FFApractice will put together a strong game here.  Fatty and ena in the same game will be interesting, and Greatwall is probably the best player here.  But I think Ponty will play smart, make the correct decisions and fight well too. 
M27

Seksi
j33.
zTsoso
SweeT

I hope Soso plays this game with us, I am looking forward to playing random heroes on a cool map that is underused.  I don't have time to play much anymore, but I will bring my best!  gl hf

Who is bragging about rushing out Nline? Are you putting words in my mouth, sweet Seksi? And yes, I am better than Junker, at least in terms of mechanical skill. Junker might be a bit better that chatting than me.
I'm saying this because there had been some confusion lately that had to be cleared up, not because I actually want to brag or care about beating scrubs that much.
I am actually rather humble, but it is my duty to correct false information.
Do you fucking understand that, son?

[ZsSuperCumulo]

lol, justin bieber generation trashtalking seksi ?

[Seksi]

Lol Justin Bieber Generation hahaha

seriously though, I don't understand.  Laxu > Junker in mechanical skill?  Things must have changed while I've been away.
