Q9

Best ffa sense and best battle skills in the match, he the "obvious" winner, of course this means he should get teamed, on the good side, market's main only have 1 entrance, and it's easy to tower, should he get teamed, this might give him the edge he needs

Q10
j33.
Mr.Sparkle.
Ntropy
KillerKonaBuds

It's always hard to face an elf and a human at the same for an elf, not so much for a human.  Ntropy's hoard and mass tank strategies might be very efficient this time, especially against the elves, but human ground should be able to handle it

[Lightweight]

Good prediction renaud, yeah always team lightweight. He hasnt won a game in like 4 month but go for it. He starts with 5/5/5 heros and has the most gold always.

darkermirror the most acomplished ffaer here imo, cechi unpredictable and i only saw one game by mogg and ash ofc is orc... so unless darker can kill cechi or ash in a good moment, i go with a dice here.

Q9
Lightweight

Steppinrazor
Deadok

no clue about lw, he is feard about trying hard to play for win, because if he does and fails he will freak out, so he probably misses the aggression, that is needed to win such a game. on the other hand, with a niceley towered base, itīs pretty easy to hold off bigger and better armies, so agression is not really needed. gz. has good micro, but seems to have problems with teaming and properly reacting to manips. deadok looks like a clever,sneaky guy, who will get his chance, unless he will get overpowered ( he is against 200 + apm guys so watch out ). steppin is hard to predict, got enough fml experience, but still miscalculating important things in ffa and iīd like to see him doing better in that area aka ffa-sense, but i wonīt believe in it until it happens ^^. picking deadok here, cuz lw and gz will suicide, after stepping ragequit vs lw. ( onbly picking it, so lw is not paranoid about ppl picking him, so that everyone will focus him. btw welcome back after ur week-long retirement... 


Q10
j33.
Mr.Sparkle.
Ntropy
KillerKonaBuds

i voted so many times for sparkle, not anymore. i wish him luck and hope he plays good, but i wonīt pick him :P. j33 is dangerous, but as others mentioned often way too passive. when he control his nervousness he is my pick here because he is a pretty good ffaer, unless he gets humbaed. ntropy had so many nice games on bnet vs annoying, mhing guys, which he beat with his standard building kill and manipstrats, but i donīt think he will succeed here, unless he mixes it up a little bit ( if he makes for a crazy comebackwin, i wonīt say no to it, though). No clue about the american fellow, so i look forward to see some action by him.


Q11
Redkeekee
Nline
Gears
Supremo

who is gears? maybe some 200 apm standard orc abuser, so watch out.

 i basically see it as rkk vs nline. the sizzling volcano, who can either rush anyone with a decently executed strat or hoard and manip VS the stoic orc-abusing powerhouse, who forgot that some good talking is part of a nice ffa and better should not go for being a daselend-yz hybrid, but bring his fair, aggressive play with a good dose of communication and scouting.
supremo vs gears and nline vs rkk looks like a good starting 1vs1-duette.
later i see rkk gaining advantage and finishing a guy at the right time for proceeding to s16 to meet his partner, ally, friend, mentor and biggest fan and hater persuade.

Q12
Starshaped
Fail.Life
Flame[Skynet]
Meeds.

i saw not enough from meeds ( who was kinda passive in his r1 game as far as i saw ) or flame to say anything about them, but fail.life looked kinda strong with decent macro, adapting armies and good micro ( seemed like cechi refused to break out on him @ r1) . with sshaped u never know. he probably will pick hu again and with the alch/pally he fall in love recently his chances ainīt bad against hu/elf only, unless he can manage the army-composition changes , that are needed as hu when iīts vs hu OR elf. i see a "underdog" sniping the win.



Q13
Rain
Mog[Skynet]
PinballMap
  Rym

pbm did better than expected in r1 and should play a role here. mog for sure wants to show, that he can do a lot better than r1, hope he will stay calm and not getting emo, when pressured early. rain is a mystery and probably should start being aggressiveley, instead of getting rush over and over again or atleast build 50 towers... ( most likeley no humans > yay for him) . also i hope he will use some stratetical or atleast absurd tries to manips, which can be funny, atealst as a observer  . Pbm will respect rain too much, while the guys will underestimate rym. so it will be between them with rym scoring another upset.

Q14
Renaud
Audigy
NoMercy2
Sinae

again cannot say much about sinae or nomercy2. since i donīt like audigyīs abuse of " gg" , when he will stay and try anyway, until his last building is done or heīs made a " surprise, surprise " comeback, i go for renaud, as long as he will stop is troll comments during games ending with a " ! ", since showed some strong performances lateley ( have to watch that r1 game still, though ).

Kodos vs Seksi
Kodos
Seksi

that game wonīt happen, itīll be lame anyway ( kodos orc tech, tower strat vs seksi hu expand or ud necrowagonstrat wonīt result in a cool game as i see it) iīd rather watch f-l-y vs darkness OR humanstar vs lightweight OR dfm vs rkk.

[deadok]

Q8
:cvech: Cechi
Darkermirror
Mogg_maniac
Ashalar

Cechi should be rushed again. On this time by fast chims. NE imba (i mean on this map).

Q9
Lightweight
Gz.
Steppinrazor
Deadok

guy which will decide to tomm me (Im sure it will be LW) will broke off his teeth because Im ready for this scenario. But another couple of players (at least one of them) will try to play a classical FFA game with fast creeping and hoarding. He will be killed fast. So in this 3-way game I will underrated again and win.


Q10
j33.
Mr.Sparkle.
Ntropy

NE imba. Best NE here is j33.

Q11

Q13
Rain

  Rym

Rain pretends to be weak. To win he just need to take UD. But there is a factor of Rym (agressive and skilled orc who can suicide everyone)

NE.

[FML|Renaud]

Really?  I hate this map as a NE :(

Mostly because I can't creep the main gold mines with chims >_<
Although the wood advantage is pretty nice

Q8
:cvech: Cechi
Darkermirror
Mogg_maniac
Ashalar

If Cechi is smart he will rush out the orc.  Darker is a solid player, but I don't think he will be able to deal with high level UD heroes and super micro, especially since mogg didnt really seem to have any idea what to do in his game i dont really see them being able to adequately team him out.

Q9
Lightweight
Gz.
Steppinrazor
Deadok

I wish I was optimistic about myself, but I'm not. 

Q10
j33.
Mr.Sparkle.
Ntropy
KillerKonaBuds

Sparkle would be my second choice, but I dunno how he will handle dealing with two passive/hoard players in j33 and ntropy.  This being said, I also think that j33 has no way of winning if he plays passive/hoarding style since ntropy will be doing the same and hu >> elf.  No idea who 4th guy is, but he probably won't be able to beat ntropy mass tanks in his main :D

Q11
Redkeekee
Nline
Gears
Supremo

I'm assuming it will be RKK vs Nline, and I somehow foresee nline not being able to make enough bats :/

Q12
Starshaped
Fail.Life
Flame[Skynet]
Meeds.

I think when he puts his solo ego aside and plays FFA the way it should be played hes a great player.  Hopefully he will do so here.  If not, fail life can probably win cus he was impressive in his last game.

Q13
Rain
Mog[Skynet]
PinballMap
  Rym

Rain hasn't been too impressive lately, and pbm seems to be a good player who just cant figure out how to seal the win.  I think Rym will be the surprise player of the season, and he will be ready to make a statement here after loosing quickly to Wan in the previous round.  Mog will also be an impact player here, though two good orcs might be too many bats to handle :(

Dunno... mass chims, tinker abuse etc etc

Q14
Renaud
Audigy
NoMercy2
Sinae

Best player here by far, cant see him losing unless he gets 3v1'd

[Ugri2]

Rym just dropped :)

[SteppinRazor]

Really?  Couldn't get over being rushed out by a solo pro? lol
