Hi frends

[ZsSuperCumulo]

@ the maps

This round has some of the best players from FML and I'm sure no game will be disappointing.

M50
ObserveAndLearn
QQs
qwest
zTsoso

This is a tough call, OAL and Qwest are both in the same neighborhood, meaning, level. Each has a different style that disguinshes them, but These two can certainly pull a a win. Soso and QQs will have a tough game, eventhough soso may be the strongest, he may be teamed very heavily and crumble like he did in his first rounds. QQs might get understimated again and bank up to 30k, but can he still win? I'll have to go with Qwest cause he's cool friend, but it's gonna be tough for everyone.

M51
Zs.SuperCumulo
NoMercy2
Junkerzam
Eshan

not an easy game for anyone of us, gl hf.

M52
Mog[skynet]
Tleilaxu
XoZ_Magadansky
WeAkUD

Oh wow, an intersting mu, crylaxu and maga seem to face eachother every season, ofc Maga dominates, but then he loses in the 3 way  . WeakUD has been ramboing everyone this season (image below)

so I'd say this time he has to get his shit together and play more cautiously. As for Mog, I hope he steps up his game since he really needs another win to make it barely top 10.

M53
Pinballmap
GEASS
svedirko
Redkeekee

Decent cast imo, I think the showdown will be between GEASS and RKK, let's see if RKK can show us his ne potential!.

M54
Dinamo
Rain
TheTrumanShow
SteppinRazor

This game will be a long four way, if TrumanShow wins again, it will be the bomb lol. I think Dinamo or Rain are favorites, but I'll with Rain since he played great last round.

M55
Wrecktify
Slythe
Jaody21
AJIKAIII

Intersting cast, I think everyone here is around the same neighborhood. Last time Jaod face wreck in S22 Wreck got owned, but this time he's been more active so He'll do better. Ajik and Slythe may have an even 1v1, but at the end it'll be either Jaod or Wreck who take the win.

M56
noexxx

AlienWareOwnZ
Fetta_ook

Most stacked match up this round, I think the best will win. If DV goes und, he wins, if Noexxx doesnt go paladin 1st, he wins, if Alien goes random he wins :D.

The Matches:
M50
ObserveAndLearn
QQs
qwest
zTsoso

QQs has been improving, same for ObserveandLearn, both can play rather solid and sneak a win vs two experienced and cunning players like soso and qwest. I think the winner of this game will depend a lot from the map that is chosen (like most of the games this round). I want to go with soso because he is still the most complete player here and will probably find a way to avoid or to deal with teaming.

M51
Zs.SuperCumulo
NoMercy2
Junkerzam
Eshan

Close game, hard to predict. Winner depends of map.

M52
Mog[skynet]
Tleilaxu
XoZ_Magadansky
WeAkUD

Maga will get teamed for name, for some reason I see WeakUD the rambo win here.

M53
Pinballmap
GEASS
svedirko
Redkeekee

Geass is one level above.

M54
Dinamo
Rain
TheTrumanShow
SteppinRazor

Steppin and Dinamo are able to show good play but I think the two favorites are Truman and Rain. Truman has the chance to be new in fml and to get overlooked a lot, so I think he might win here.

M55
Wrecktify
Slythe
Jaody21
AJIKAIII

Close game too. I think Slythe is maybe a bit weaker than the 3 others and he doesn't even play recently. Wreck Jaod and Alkash are all good players with some days better than others. Hard to pick a winner.

M56
noexxx
DV-
AlienWareOwnZ
Fetta_ook

Winner depends of map. Noe wins on Sanctuary, Dv wins on Murgul and Battleground, Alien wins on Duststorm. Don't know about Tranquil Paths.
Fetta will try to fly under the radar but will certainly fail.

Will most likely end in a prolonged 3 way with mass manip, hoarding and island building if possible. 5 hours later, Qwest snatches the game through sheer patience.

M51
Zs.SuperCumulo
NoMercy2
Junkerzam
Eshan

NoMercy has managed to pull an incredible performance so far. A reverse Robb Stark, losing all battles but winning the war. Will he be able to do so once again now that he has to battle against his own kinsman, the avaricious Zs.Superculo?
I predict a long 4 way with spectacular flurries of manip by the sociopathic pathological liar called Eshanna, managing to stay alive for the very end, only to get crushed as Scrubberzam takes the win.


M53
Pinballmap
GEASS
svedirko
Redkeekee

RKK has revealed his true identity as the horrid child of Soso and Eshanna, combining these two frightful aspects into a single entity embodying the flurry of lies of Eshanna with the autistic arrogance of zt.Soso.
I predict PBM rushing out Svedirko and then a long tedious 3 way with RKK ending up teamed/tomed because of his name and Geass winning his way into grandfinal with 20k unused gold in bank.

M54
Dinamo
Rain
TheTrumanShow
SteppinRazor

Easy game for Dinamo.

M55
Wrecktify
Slythe
Jaody21
AJIKAIII

Wreck will probably end up 4th place, rushed out by his cryptonite Jaod while Alkash and Slythe hoard. The game will end with a long 3 way with Alkash winning a base race.

M56

What a spectacular match up. I hope Fetta is lubing up his anus and practicing rebuilding, coz' that is the only hope he has since he will die in 10 minutes to any of these players. The game will most likely be a long shit fest with a lot of manip and backstabbing, but also a few huge fights. I hope for Alien's sake that he rolls Elf so he won't get rolled in turn.
Noe is the favorite overall, but it's very map dependant.

[Redkeekee]

RKK has revealed his true identity as the horrid child of Soso and Eshanna, combining these two frightful aspects into a single entity embodying the flurry of lies of Eshanna with the autistic arrogance of zt.Soso.

Laxu accusing me of arrogance is actually hilarious xD - pot calling the kettle black x1000.  However I will not deny it, I do think I'm good at 100x100 fights and I don't really care who knows it.

Also I really can't even comprehend comparing me to Eshan - I tell maybe 2-3 lies per game.  Watch all 4 of my replays and count the lies, you will come up with less than half of what ordinary players total, yet I'm compared to the biggest liar to ever play the league, actually hysterical xD.

[ZsSuperCumulo]

LOL

[FML|red7z7]

First-posts and vetoes are extended until Sunday night EST rather than the traditional 48 hours, since we are still officially on holiday break.

[Peregrine]

yet I'm compared to the biggest liar to ever play the league

Srsly?

[Peregrine]

anyway all i have to say about this round is, like last round, 1 decent map and 4 shit maps. i was originally excited about this choose-your-map/veto process, but with this round bringing another set of crappy maps, I have not really enjoyed the maps I've played this season, aside from round 1 market square

And it makes no sense - how are we supposed to choose our veto when we don't even have one of the maps? (tranquil paths). whats up with this

[Jaody21]

yet I'm compared to the biggest liar to ever play the league

Srsly?

ahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahah  OMG !!!


absolutely Srsly !!!   you are biggest liar of league ofc - i dont wanna remember all moments when Eshan is Eshan )))

i just remember fresh funny moment from your last game)))

AJIKAIII build good army ( 80 or 100 pop ) and going kill your main - and what you said in chat ?))) " OMG FU - i already war with another ! "

and ajikaiii back ))))

he was wrong in one - he not ask - with who you war )))

[Peregrine]

lol not quite what I said, but that was funny yes

many players have used such strategy

[Jaody21]

: )))

you can totally lose confidence with this great strategy
