I noticed a few people who want to donate, so I'm gonna repost our patreon. I regularly update our financial page on this site (viewable to donors) so you can always see where the money is going. This new bot should cost about the same as the old one but I'm not entirely positive on that yet. Thanks! https://www.patreon.com/FFAMasters

Done, signed up for $5 monthly.  If there is ever a need for a lump sum donation, I am willing to donate as needed, and quite heavily if needs be at that  !

Thank you! We get much more out of small monthly donations then lump sums. Apart from the monthly bills that need to be paid and the occasional prizes, I frankly don't have any idea what to do with a lump sum of money!

I always know what to do with money ! ;)

I'm open to suggestions! Prizes have never felt like a natural fit in FML, even in this past season everyone forgot their was a $50 prize. I'd much rather put the money towards making the league or viewership better in some way.

We could use it in a tournament. I mean, after 4v4 Challenge with the innovative Swiss style and a lot of coverage, the hype was real for the genre

Now we could work on doing something similar for FFA and bring new people to the community. If everybody chips in a little + a few sponsors, we could make it the greatest FFA tournament ever, like we did for 4v4

And... there is no observer limitations anymore, so the streaming potential is endless

Bot is now technically ready.

We can start a new era of FFA ladder once FML site is updated

Bot is now on w3arena (ID : Melee-XXX).

@SomethingWicked is updating the website to organize the ladder from here

I asked Profforg to stop the other bot (which hasnt been payed for for several months)

When those last details are cleared, we are good for a new season of FFA

You can test the bot already for fun

I heard, w3arena won't update to 1.29, is that true?
If yes, will this bot be only availible for the w3arena players?

No, everything will be on 1.29 then. W3A will obviously completely die if they can't patch to 1.29, and I am very sure that they can't.

I heard a rumor.  Which is from reddit, so take it as a grain of salt.  That w3arena got a new code so they can patch to 1.29.

But I doubt it.  Reddit rumor....

hey,

one thing i would like to report about the bot is that it would occasionally desync people. happened to me 2 games and happened once or twice to my opponents.

Otherwise, absolutely amazing stuff, can't thank you enough.

I agree 100% random heroes is pretty garbage to begin with.  And its clear people agree because those are the lobbies that never fill.  So we gotta wait like what 15 mins for next map to be hosted.
