[Indense]

Stumbled upon FML again after having been away from FFA for years and years, but it's really nice to see the community is still active and reading this thread brought up many memories :)

Not sure if anyone remembers me but I played under the nicks Indense and Farmerjoe years back, no clue which season (but around patch 1.22). Played mostly night elf when things got heated, but random when climbing the ladder (bnet). Always ground based armies as NE; MG/dryad/dotts often with dh/panda/potm but sometimes some DR/alch fun as well.

Don't really have any favorite player in the traditional sense (of watching/being a fan) but I'll list a few of my favorite players that I played against :p

DasElend
Nline
Battle.Suck
DCo]PiZz.
y.zenchenko
Pbl66a
fate.is.noob

If anyone reads this then I just wanna say thanks for a good time and maybe we'll play in the future :)

So here I am, bored one day and decided on a whim to check out the ol FFA sites I used to browse when I was much younger... and to my utter and complete delighted surprise, I find that someone mentions me. 

V here, formerly known as Elsha-of-IEL (hilariously enough, the IEL website is still around on angelfire).  I used a stupid amount of names back then, but Elsha was the one I was most known by. RippinKittin, instantdecay, god, what else did I use back then... haha.

Yes I know, necro bumping this thread, but is any of the old school players still around at all?

Here's my list of notable players, completely off the top of my head in no particular order. I know for a fact I'm forgetting some fantastic players and friends.

Fly
Unholydreadlord/Hydro
Lightweight
Eshan/Daselend (I think that was both you? Memory's fuzzy)
Maga
Y.zen
BattleSuck
Rebbats
Renaud
Wreck
Marko (that Marko luck)
Shadowsou1 (<3<3 taught me how to ground orc!)
Inferno Rice (taught me how to FFA back in the day)
WarMachine
Pencil
Sparkle
Blex
Nline
Rebbats
Lost
Bobas
Marn
SX-Frost


I can't think of anyone else, but I know you are all out there. Thanks for all the great times. Maybe I'll give FFA another go if it's still going strong...

[Pinballmap]

Hi Elsha. sure there are some of the oldschoolers around who still play and surpringsly applied for S20

Renaud,Wrecktify, Blex applied.

Nline,maga and Lightweight are also still around but frankly they did not apply for s20 yet.

[Vyvanne]

What the hell, I'll go ahead and apply when I get home from work! I'm totally slacking and just browsing the FMA site.  We'll see how rusty I am :)

Eshan and Daselend were two different people. Eshan's aka was DarkMessiah and plays random, while Daselend was orc. Eshan's applied for season 20 as well, so maybe you'll meet him on the battlefield :)

[ins]

My favorites:

5. XX: The dude did awesome things and had sick timing attacks.
4. Lost: I could never beat this guy in a FFA.  And you know someone's good when they go on to Starcraft and dabble in the pro scene for a while.
3. Renaud: Awesome person, hilarious manip (and chat in general) in games, and solid player.
2. Eshan/DarkMessiah: Good at all races, in all phases of the game, in all aspects of the game.
1. X[hunters]: He taught me a lot of things, made me better at FFA, Solo--and life.  Hope he's still out there somewhere.  Good dude.

[Wrecktify]

Elsha yayyyyyyy a legit old schooler!  Come back and reminisce with me and Alien :)

Well I posted mine back in 2011 but to repeat cause i just saw that ELSHA IS BACK TOO! I'm back this season and it seems a lot of good old players are too. Should be fun

"1. Fly  - best elf ever, he could play every race but he was never a randomer, he was elf, and more recently UD

2. Target. (human)

3. Daselend (orc)

4. Pencil (how can you say he wasn't good? he was the best...).

5. Elsha-of-Iel (random)

Thoughts on others:

Plush was amazing, but never knew how to handle manip. Fly is the reason I played FFA when I saw his replays when him and pencil were rank 1 and 2 at like level 52 or something.

grandbulp/tchou-tchou/other names he had, he was good but definitely not top 10...

Lost was a beast with elf, unique combo that I still use in RT. Strangely unbeatable in battle...he improved from average in like '05 to really good in '07 to just beastly in '08+

Currently I enjoy HTRT

PS its sad how many players are missing from this, so many guys I faced over the years that I cant even remember right now. Thankfully we have flameseekers replays...keeps them alive."

No offense to other great players not mentioned like maga, plush, SS, lost, so many more

[AlienWareOwnZ]

Im honored to make someones list =)

AlienwareOwnz - Before I knew Sergio all that well, he was an extremely fun random player to watch and he's the reason that I started playing random in the first place.  Watching him fight head to head with any race against a top player with their main race was always a blast.  Highly underrated for someone who was rank 1 FFA, RT, and even top 10 solo multiple times with random.

Heres mine based on the epic battles we had vs eachother
1. Rice
2. killer.Dk
3. Pencil
4. fly ( we had a serious rivalry that will never be matched)
5. Battle.suck (my favorite arrange team partner)

[Dovekie]

The players who I enjoy watching play the most are:

-Htrt
-LW
-Yaws
-That one Korean elf who played ~250 games on ladder, even though I only saw like 5 games.
-GW

I don't really enjoy watching Undead or Orc players in the slightest, due to the monotonous type of play and the fact that manip-oriented players are often gravitated toward them (though there are obviously various exceptions).
