Future Plans for YouTube

[FML|Mage]

Hi all,

As I'm sure a lot of you have noticed I've been even more inquisitive than normal with regards to what people think of the current YouTube videos.  What they would like to see more of, less of, etc.  With all that being said, we believe that it is time to start expanding a bit.  I'd type it all out, however I suspect not as many people would read it if I did.  Instead I'll leave the following video to explain it for me.  If people would please let us know what they think then that would be great.  As always, thanks to everyone for watching!

I enjoyed the silly AT :P
For the future plans... I have no clues!  Mostly because I din't think I would enjoy a silly AT but I did, so I'm obviously not a good judge of what I will or wont like until I actually see it

maybe its better to cast some good 2v2's?

I mean, no offense, but it's rather shitty :)

That's completely fair haha.  My thought process was as follows, let me know what you think of it.

First, I'm never going to be involved in playing in a high level 2v2.  I was decent to begin with 8 years ago, now I'm purely awful haha.  Worpex and I certainly are never going to be a competitive 2s team haha.  This would mean commentating on other people's 2v2 games which I have no problem with.  However I really don't think I know enough about current strategies, builds, etc in 2s or solo to be informative on it.  I'd be happy to do color commentating on the games, but I'm not sure it would really add anything of value to it.  I might consider doing some more competitive casting for 2v2s if I found a good partner for it, but there are already a lot of people who do it and are very good at it.  I was thinking I might find more of a niche and play to my strong suit by doing silly strategies in 2s. 

I'm sure that some people will disagree or won't like the new ideas as they come out and that's fine.  My hope is that some will, and we'll find some new fans as well. 

Just my thought process on it, and thanks for the feedback!

I understand mage. But maybe the strat isnt just silly enough. Problem here is that you'd need quite some skills to do a really silly strat AND pull it off. (Mass faerie, mass sorc, tankdrops,...)

Rich and shaped do it a lot and its great because they pull it off vs good teams. But they are top tier players ofcourse.

Nonetheless, its a great effort you are doing and for the average warcraft-sympathiser (dont know if this is a word in english lol) its awesome

I don't think we were really going for silly strategies so much as just putting out some new content for content's sake. I really like the idea of doing some silly strategies though and attempting to win with them!

I'd be interested in more interviews with FML players about their backgrounds and their views on the progression of FFA/FML, maybe some highlight reels of past seasons, a history of FML video, or any other FML-centered content in general.

[MattiasG]

yes, I need to be interviewed indeed!

Awesome, all great ideas that I would like to cover!  That's what the essence of Game Night (or whatever it turns out to be called) will be.

Ugrilainen made 2 reviews of Season 1 and 2 finals some year ago. That was actually a great idea, though he did not ever make more of them. (I think they were banned because of the music he used afaik) Maybe they're still up. A must watch imo.

[FML|Mage]

They're very good. Very low production quality, however he really does a nice job of capturing the essence of the games as well as summarizing them.  Another very good idea!

Here they are, for the guys who are curious

Season 1 Finals

Season 2 Finals

Those videos are really well put together. Wish there was similar for the rest of the FML finals. I also like to see similar recaps for good games throughout the season that tell stories of how the season went, for instance if a player dominated a season and didn't win the final, etc. Also with permanent health bars, better video editing and possibly voice in addition to, or replacing, text captions the videos could be better. Also throw in more 'background' at the beginning of the recaps such as how the finalists did in the season and where they come from, etc, would be cool. FML has been around for a decade so there is a lot of history that I feel can be recovered and documented for those interested (and I'm sure there are many people interested). It could also rekindle or generate new interest in the league.

Man those were cool videos.  I liked seeing the army compositions back in the day.  Love for MGs and love for necrowagon.  Was that WorpeX (Red Orc) with the super Earthquake?
Also Target only going two heroes, MK Paladin Mass gryphon/hawks is awesome.  NOstalgia!!

[Pinballmap]

The red Orc was LeL  - no idea why he used Worpex' as a name. Maybe Worpex can clarify that.
