[ep123]

My thoughts after looking at the line-up:
Match 1 ( SeeKer, Fetta_ook, Leluaami, D2sTRUCT8)

The game is about greedy play, manips, and base-race skills.

Match 2 ( rulaZ, Aarnikratti, Punpun, ostone)

The outcome is about decision-making.

Match 3 ( supremo Sheik, Shave, 5te1n)

Free win or semi-free win can happen no matter who is out first.

Match 4 ( Enjoi, SyDe, Nightwing, Voxius)

I hope players will not do dirty 2v1 from the start, scout, and don't believe everything that is said in chat.

Match 5 ( qwest, Airenikus, M00se, MoonAndino)

Tryhard skills will prevail.

Match 6 ( Junkerzam, Neytpoh, Tukimkim, Gradient)

The outcome depends a lot on who will fight whom in initial 1v1 and how players will share goldmines (e.g. there can be the situation when a player has 2 goldmines and the other 5 at 50 pop).
And then it will be free win or hard 3 way depending on the mood of the players.

Match 7 ( Trunkz, Peanut, iOwnedU, Sub.
A free win can only happen if players will underestimate the power of moon wells and high hero levels.

[Vyvanne]

Match 1 ( SeeKer, Fetta_ook, Leluaami, D2sTRUCT8)

Gotta cheer on Fetta here !


Match 2 ( rulaZ, Aarnikratti, Punpun, ostone)

Has Ostone been playing still regularly?  Even if out of shape I'd say he is the strong favorite of this group.

Match 3 ( supremo Sheik, Shave, 5te1n)

If Shave can avoid getting teamed this should go well for him.


Match 4 ( Enjoi, SyDe, Nightwing, Voxius)

Gotta rep USA here with Eshan but Syde is <3, sorry buddy.  If Eshan can manip the others into teaming Syde he can take this however, so this will be a tough battle for Syde. If he can avoid that, he's the clear favorite due to his excellent mechanical skills.


Match 5 ( qwest, Airenikus, M00se, MoonAndino)

Qwest favored but Airen isn't bad. Battle of the manips.


Match 6 ( Junkerzam, Neytpoh, Tukimkim, Gradient)

Oh now this should be interesting.  Junker and Neutron should be very familiar with Gradi's style, so this could turn into an interesting 3 way, with Tukim the clear underdog. I think I'd favor Neutron here just a little bit, but Junker definitely has a strong chance.


Match 7 ( Trunkz, Peanut, iOwnedU, Vyvanne

Trunks probably. I haven't played in 1.5 years, just playing for fun.

[5te1n]

Match 1 ( SeeKer, Fetta_ook, Leluaami, D2sTRUCT8)

Leluaami is a well known rat, hoarder and tree hider. So if the others eliminate him quickly, this should be an interesting game.  I will bet on Seeker here. Because Fetta usually plays like a rambo without micro or game sense.

But remember: This prediction only works, if you eliminate Leluaami completely. If you only kill his base, he will hide all over the map and rat his way to victory. So just make sure, he gets eliminated completely.


Match 2 ( rulaZ, Aarnikratti, Punpun, ostone)

It all depends on who gets suicided by Aarnikrattis rifle push. In my opinion rulaz has good chances to take this match.

Match 3 ( supremo Sheik, Shave, 5te1n)

This match could become a very dirty one...


Match 4 ( Enjoi, SyDe, Nightwing, Voxius)

Im sure Eshan will find a way to manipulate everyone into teaming SyDe. So SyDe should eliminate someone quick, if he wants to avoid 3/1 and have a chance :D


Match 5 ( qwest, Airenikus, M00se, MoonAndino)

I think qwest will just stomp.


Match 6 ( Junkerzam, Neytpoh, Tukimkim, Gradient)

It all depends on who fights who in the initial 1 on 1. If Neytpoh and Junker both win their initial 1 on 1s, im sure Neytpoh will win the game. Just dont let Gradient hoard too much, if he manages to make it into the 3-way.


Match 7 ( Trunkz, Peanut, iOwnedU, Vyvanne

It probably all depends on who gets rushed by Trunkz first. I think all of the players are experienced enough to properly team him down 2/1 after that. So judging from my experiences in ladder iOwnedU should have hoarded enough gold by that point to come out on top :P

Round 1 Matches

Match 1
SeeKer
Fetta_ook
Leluaami Noexxx
D2sTRUCT8

School just started again in Finland. Lelu who spent the last months in his parents cabin deep in the finish forests, has to leave his save space now and go on his school walk without any chance of covering or hiding from his natural predator. The Voxius. Beeing aware of how defens- and hopeless lelus current situation is, vox already booked his flight. Chances that lelu gets this game sheduled before the unevitable happens, are slim. So while lelu spends the FML start with voxius, Noexxx will take his place. Unfortunately Noexxx wont see the screen clearly during the game since his eyes are covered by all the tears running down his face about his girlfriend breaking up with him. Meanwhile Fetta is sitting in the first class waitinglongue of Stockholm airport, smoking a cuban cigarre, sipping on an exclusive and expensive drink and smiling. Smiling as he remembers how he tipped of Vox about Lelu and seduced Noexxx ex gf. His Masterplan for Season 32 is slowly but steadily unfolding. Ready to End his Opponents entire existence and not only their ffa careers.

Match 2
rulaZ Tomtoast
Aarnikratti
Punpun
ostone

If Tommy doesnt end his Human experiment here and goes back to elf i see Ostone winning this one.

Match 3
supremo
Sheik
Shave
5te1n Granti

Penalty for Granti please for signing up under smurf @hightac

Whoever wins this game has the biggest shower!


Match 4
Enjoi
SyDe
Nightwing
Voxius Melicia

Vox needs to keep a low profile, so the fin police doesnt find him and Lelu. That means no Wifi and no GPS.
2 Months ago shortly after planning to visit lelu, he started to introduce his sister to the comunity. To learn and study our behaviour. 2 Months of Planning and Preparing, just to give her big bro an alibi by playing on his acc.

I cannot really predict this game any further since im afraid of Eshan crying to hightac 3 days straight about my post causing his loss somehow and im gonna end up with 5 Penalty Points before my first game even started.


Match 5
qwest
Airenikus
M00se
MoonAndino

Match 6
Junkerzam
Neytpoh
Tukimkim
Gradient

Over years Godfather collected penalty points for other players, shouldering the burden of admin injustice all by himself. 90% of this comunity are in his debt and owe him. And now....hes ready to collect the favors. Therefore i expect early 2n1 by gradi/Junker on Neutron. Neutron will fight like a lion but in the end team Gradi/Junker will succeed. Since Junker is used to go clubbing with fetta, he knows how to handle wild beasts. Gradis Animal Harras will fail and Junker takes the first win this season.


Match 7
Trunkz
Peanut
iOwnedU
Vyvanne

Over 1,5 Years have passed since Vyvanne played his last fml game.

Sleep cooldown reduced? Check
Swarm damage increased? Check
Dessi Dispel buffed? Check
Gargs auto attack air? Check
Infernals removed from deathrose? Check

Happy about his 139 Emails to the Blizzard Patch Team having worked out Vyvanne gladly filled out the sign up form to season 32 in full excitment about raping orcs/humans he forgot a tiny...but important thing tough. Sick of losing to 20 apm elfs and 20 apm undeads human and orcs adapted and switched to elf/ud themselves. And in this game Elsha directly gets placed against the meanest angriest and biggest elf there is.... TRUNKS.

[pawello]

Match 1 ( SeeKer, Fetta_ook, Leluaami, D2sTRUCT8)

Lelu is gonna night elf his way through this match

Match 2 ( rulaZ, Aarnikratti, Punpun, ostone)

I have no idea tbh but rulaZ is human player so I am gonna cheer for him

Match 3 ( supremo Sheik, Shave, 5te1n)

Shave will tome stein and then win with imba hero lvls

Match 4 ( Enjoi, SyDe, Nightwing, Voxius)

Syde is the most skilled for sure, hopefully he won't be too nice and will pick up the tomes without hesitation

Match 5 ( qwest, Airenikus, M00se, MoonAndino)

Match 6 ( Junkerzam, Neytpoh, Tukimkim, Gradient)

This is by far the coolest match of this round imo even though the winner is pretty clear. Gradient is big favorite in this FML season due to his smart play and impeccable micro skills.

Match 7 ( Trunkz, Peanut, iOwnedU, Vyvvane.
