Round 5 Matchups!!

[FML|WorpeX]

Current top 4 teams are as follows:

Team Standings Top 4:
#1: Zig Zag ZIGGURAT! (254)
#2: Bad Manneroths (238)
#3: Suicide Squad (214)
#4: Fetta Inc. (212)
#4: Free Ena (212)

Player Standings Top 4:
#1 WRECKTIFY [BM] (135.5)
#2 Mog [Zig] (131.5)
#3 Tyrant [Zig] (129.5)
#4 Eshan [Zig] (127.5)

Suicide Squad was the big gainers this week, they jumped all the way up to 3rd place from outside the top 4. Zig Zag and Manneroths both keep the same position and have started to separate from the pack. In 4th, we have a 2-way tie!!

In the player standings, Wrecktify and Tyrant swapped positions to start this week. Wreck now claims the lead! Mog comes from outside the top 4 to take 2nd place and Eshan falls to 4th (from 2). Outside these 4, we have an extremely close battle for 6th place with almost every player just a win away from that spot!

M33
Airenikus [Rage]
Fetta_ook [Inc]
Mog [Zig]
Renaud [CoR]

As the other maps this week, Dragon Island makes it difficult for me to predict the outcome. I just haven't seen enough matches here, particularly 4-ways. Dragon Island provides enough space for Renaud to secretly mount and unmount hippogryph riders for two hours and harvest 100k lumber. Therefore, it should be top priority for all players to get him down to two lumber wisps before the ten minute mark. I guess this will be Fetta's job, who likes to be aggressive early. Mog and Airenikus should have the best odds here and I hope no one is underestimating Mog anymore at this stage.

M34
LssL [Rage]
MrSweets [Inc]
Junkerzam [Zig]
Valefort [CoR]

LssL and Vale both have a playstyle and race that can fit to Lost Temple quite well. However, Junker and MrSweets are the favorites here. They both know how to win their early engagements, which is key on this map to gain xp. MrSweets tends to tunnelvision though, which can be a risk for him and his 1v1 enemy.

M35
HighTac [Rage]
IWANTWC4 [Inc]
Eshan [Zig]
Seksi [CoR]

I'm happy to be in a game with three Americans, since I apply audience-oriented manip and so it'll be easier to prepare myself. Looking forward to the game, which I'd like to name "Seksi and the three Cowards"

M36
Aarnikratti [Rage]
Betoon [Inc]
Tyrant [Zig]
Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]

Heavy lineup for my mate and Santas little helper Aarni. I hope he may take a gift wrapping break to prepare some cheese strats for Purity. Betoon improved a lot since his first FML appearance, but he still is the weakest link here. Cumulo is under pressure and needs to secure more points, since his team isn't the biggest help score-wise. Tyrant might still be traumatized by what previously happened on Twisted Meadows against the Lama Whisperer (hope this will not fall under rascism, if so, I apologize).

M37
Dinamo [BM]
Supremo [FREE]
Ponty [SS]
Trunks [Ena]

I feel a bit sorry for Ponty here and hope he'll be able to pull off a surprise. Neither Supremo, nor Dinamo proofed to be a big help in stopping a dominating player. Trunks is back in shape and his first push deadly for almost every elf in the league. He deserved his slot in the semis and has a good chance to collect some important points here. In any case, I see Shave complaining after the game that Trunks unnecessarily unmounted his hippogryph riders two times.

M38
Slythe [BM]
WeakUD [FREE]
SosoHasRedHair [SS]
TomToast [Ena]

The German speaking troll cast of this playweek. Good chances for either of these players. Tom probably the Most Improved Player of the season, Tox in shape and on a map that suits him, Shave a favorite if he sticks to Orc and Slythe aka The Easter Egg. Tears of happiness garanteed if observers witness invis mortars again.

M39
EvilPeanut [BM]
Gradient [FREE]
Noexxx [SS]
QQs [Ena]

I guess Gradi should immediately tear down his own base and hide in the forest. Three humans on Battleground are tough. As always, Noe the favorite here. Fortunately, he will prevent both other humans from sitting. So I hope we will see an actionpacked match with different hero combos.

M40
WRECKTIFY [BM]
Joggel [FREE]
AlienWareOwnZ [SS]
Jaod [Ena]

Strongest cast of the week on a fun map. Wreck is on fire and the one to beat. Joggel learned this the hard way on Deadlock. He is the underdog, but has potential if he can step up his gold management and communication. Jaod and Alien rely on each other here and can both easily bulldoze on good days or disappoint on weaker ones

[IWANTWC4]

Current top 4 teams are as follows:

Team Standings Top 4:
#1: Zig Zag ZIGGURAT! (254)
#2: Bad Manneroths (238)

#2 Mog [Zig] (131.5)
#3 Tyrant [Zig] (129.5)
#4 Eshan [Zig] (127.5)

Everyone 3v1 zzz and bm.

In the player standings, Wrecktify and Tyrant swapped positions to start this week. Wreck now claims the lead! Mog comes from outside the top 4 to take 2nd place and Eshan falls to 4th (from 2). Outside these 4, we have an extremely close battle for 6th place with almost every player just a win away from that spot!

Again people, 3v1 zzz and bm.  Only way for other teams to have a shot!

Rage Critters vs Fetta Inc. vs Zig Zag ZIGGURAT! vs Church of Renaud

M33
Airenikus [Rage]
Fetta_ook [Inc]
Mog [Zig]
Renaud [CoR]

Interesting match up.  Two of the top 5 elfs in fml, and 2 wild cards.  The elfs and airenkus can all have a chance to win.  Depends who tomes on fetta.  Airenkus wagonmancer push could tome any of these 3 fairly easily. But mog and Renaud are cockroaches, so they should be able to survive and not die to early aggression from fetta or airenkus.  Ultimately one of the cockroaches will win I'm choosing Renaud for his first win of season over the tinker abuser.

M34
LssL [Rage]
MrSweets [Inc]
Junkerzam [Zig]
Valefort [CoR]

What is there to say?  Solo map with some solo minded players.   Wonder if sweets will suicide lssl again?   I hope not.  Only way junker doesn't win is if they flat out 3v1 him from the start and even then it may not be enough.   He is be far the favorite here.

M35
HighTac [Rage]
IWANTWC4 [Inc]
Eshan [Zig]
Seksi [CoR]

Wow what a cast.  This game would be a million times better if this cast was on dragon island.  3 of us are really serious manip players.  Seksi and Eshan have some drama issues so that will be entertaining.   Seksi will be the aggressor here.   So whoever he hits first will decide a lot on how this game goes.  Eshan can compete with anyone and if he and seksi fight each other then me and hightac have a chance.   If not then I think of the two favorites (Eshan or seksi) will win easy.  Hightac is a good sneaky fucker though.  Left alive he can surprise, just like last week verse alien.

M36
Aarnikratti [Rage]
Betoon [Inc]
Tyrant [Zig]
Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]

Wow what a lineup.  I love betoon, had a great game last week but is out classed by this cast.  Super cum and tyrant are the favorites by far.  But tyrant has amazing manip.  So he is thw favorite hopefully cumulo tomes him early otherwise he will win.

Bad Manneroths vs Free Agent Squad vs Suicide Squad vs Free Ena

M37
Dinamo [BM]
Supremo [FREE]
Ponty [SS]
Trunks [Ena]

Boring lineup on an amazing map.   Trunks should win easy unless they 3v1 trunks.   Then ponty should win.  Not much else to say.

M38
Slythe [BM]
WeakUD [FREE]
SosoHasRedHair [SS]
TomToast [Ena]

I don't know who weakud is sorry.  But slythe is unconventional makes for awesome games, shaved is a raging lunatic with skill and tom is just flat out amazing.  Shaved wins unless he loses control of himself then tom can.

M39
EvilPeanut [BM]
Gradient [FREE]
Noexxx [SS]
QQs [Ena]


Too much evil humans.  Noexxx is the class of human and ffa players. But isn't playing as much.  Gradient is a cockroach that doesn't die, but can't win either.  If qqs gets space he can possibly win late or his emotions get the best of him and he suicides and gets last place...again.  I'm going with noexxx.


M40
WRECKTIFY [BM]
Joggel [FREE]
AlienWareOwnZ [SS]
Jaod [Ena]

I feel bad for joggel good players again.  He could win some of the other matches but will get 4th cause of the cast.  King wrecktify who may as well go by f-l-y is fml God.  Alien is the best random to ever play.  Jaod is very good ud.  God idk who wins.  They need to team wreck otherwise he wins.   Go alien I'm cheering forr you but wreck manip will be too much, he wins.

[aarnikratti]

M33
Airenikus [Rage]
Fetta_ook [Inc]
Mog [Zig]
Renaud [CoR]

2 orcs and 2 heavyweight robo elves, though Airenikus has played UD lately but I think here he should pick orc and just mass bats. The map is big, which will benefit Mog cuz late game he can hide some trees and win base race with his Tinker. Anyway, I would still say my teammate Airenikus will win, but it requires that he will pick orc.

M34
LssL [Rage]
MrSweets [Inc]
Junkerzam [Zig]
Valefort [CoR]

Anyone can win. Lssl should probably pick orc cuz he is better orc than human. MrSweets has good micro but sometimes bad ffa sense. Junkerzam usually plays pretty good but sometimes having bad games. Valefort is decent human player but a bit suicidal I think.

M35
HighTac [Rage]
IWANTWC4 [Inc]
Eshan [Zig]
Seksi [CoR]

Hightac will tome Karfal while Eshan and Seksi suicide each other.

M36
Aarnikratti [Rage]
Betoon [Inc]
Tyrant [Zig]
Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]

Finno-Ugric players and Cumulo. Cumulo will be eliminated first here because of the brotherhood of me, Betoon and Tyrant… Well not because of that, but because people finally learned to make counter army vs cumulos rifle caster mort push. This game will end with 1v1 me vs Tyrant and I will win.

Bad Manneroths vs Free Agent Squad vs Suicide Squad vs Free Ena

M37
Dinamo [BM]
Supremo [FREE]
Ponty [SS]
Trunks [Ena]

Easy game for trunkzz. I think maSS dryandS and MG would work here cuz its 4 elves. Ponty and Dinamo will take revenge while Trunkzz kills supremo and then its gg.

M38
Slythe [BM]
WeakUD [FREE]
SosoHasRedHair [SS]
TomToast [Ena]

A game with lots of manip and backstabs. Slythe will take his first win because he is overlooked by Shave and Tox.

M39
EvilPeanut [BM]
Gradient [FREE]
Noexxx [SS]
QQs [Ena]

Interesting game between 3 humans and Gradient, though Peanut has played Undead lately, interesting to see which race he will pick.  I think this will be a manip based game with long 4 way, ending with base race where Noe will win.


M40
WRECKTIFY [BM]
Joggel [FREE]
AlienWareOwnZ [SS]
Jaod [Ena]

Gogo Jaod, im cheering for u bro. I think this is not that good map for Wreck, and he already got enough wins for this season. Alien might be strong but he wont win. Joggel is a good player but not enough patience for win.

[Valefort]

M33
Airenikus [Rage]
Fetta_ook [Inc]
Mog [Zig]
Renaud [CoR]

Interesting match, spawns will be key as in any 4-way in an 8 players map, i hope no one will be surrounded. If fetta has some time and manages to get good items he can be a serious threat to Mog or Renaud, I see Mog as a favorite since he's the most adaptable here but spawns will dictate a lot.

M34
LssL [Rage]
MrSweets [Inc]
Junkerzam [Zig]
Valefort [CoR]

Don't play UD junker.

M35
HighTac [Rage]
IWANTWC4 [Inc]
Eshan [Zig]
Seksi [CoR]

 :icon_lol:yet another seksi/Eshan match, this time with hightac and iwantwc4 as attendants. This map favors agression heavily, agressive creeping especially and rebuilding is chancy at best. I see seksi dominating/killing 1 player fast very fast and then a protracted 3-way, Eshan wins it if he reaches that stage.

M36
Aarnikratti [Rage]
Betoon [Inc]
Tyrant [Zig]
Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]

No clue what will happen on that map, the cast is nice with two big names, an underdog and the unfortunate betoon. I hope Cumulo will prevail !

M37
Dinamo [BM]
Supremo [FREE]
Ponty [SS]
Trunks [Ena]

3v1 or die.

M38
Slythe [BM]
WeakUD [FREE]
SosoHasRedHair [SS]
TomToast [Ena]

This game is almost guaranteed to be a failure from any ffa point of view but it might be funny. ENTERTAIN ME !

M39
EvilPeanut [BM]
Gradient [FREE]
Noexxx [SS]
QQs [Ena]

Noexx is the clear favorite there and that will likely make for a complicated but short game, no real room to rebuild and relatively little gold here so I don't see Gradient winning. Going with a fully dominating performance by Noexx !

M40
WRECKTIFY [BM]
Joggel [FREE]
AlienWareOwnZ [SS]
Jaod [Ena]

Best cast here, no one is overly susceptible to get tomed by anyone. Since the map is large, I expect a full creeping before anything happens and then gold management will prevail. At this game I see Joggel going out and then a longer 3-way between alien wreck and jaod. Either wreck or alien will end up pissing jaod too much and the third one will take the win.

[Ponty]

M33
Airenikus [Rage]
Fetta_ook [Inc]
Mog [Zig]
Renaud [CoR]

1 snake and 1 rat are in this game, will you be able to find them?

M34
LssL [Rage]
MrSweets [Inc]
Junkerzam [Zig]
Valefort [CoR]

Junkerzam needs to be teamed or he will win

M35

Seksi [CoR]

Funny game incoming

M36
Aarnikratti [Rage]
Betoon [Inc]
Tyrant [Zig]
Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]

The master of dryads aarnikratti will get 3n1 and still win

M37
Dinamo [BM]
Supremo [FREE]

wow, mastermind supremo and drunkamo will give freewin to trunks

M38
Slythe [BM]
WeakUD [FREE]

I expect shave and tox to suicide while Tom gets overlooked and wins

M39
EvilPeanut [BM]

EvilPeanut will get overlooked 100%

M40
WRECKTIFY [BM]

Jaod [Ena]

Jaod will try a greedy ud macro and get punished by a t2 push for it

[betoon]

Hahaha, these opponents

[Peregrine]

M33
Airenikus [Rage]
Fetta_ook [Inc]
Mog [Zig]
Renaud [CoR]

Large map which means long game. I imagine Renaud will hoard 20k, Mog will fight someone early, someone will take the Tome of Fetta, only to have fetta hide and rebuild to try and rattatat his first win. Airenikus is on fire this season, he almost won again last round, and he knows how to hoard/micro/backstab. He will probably team someone out and snake the win.

M34
LssL [Rage]
MrSweets [Inc]
Junkerzam [Zig]
Valefort [CoR]

Vale is slowly rising and with no UD in this game (after his ultimate threat to Junker) if vale survives to 3way he can win. Lssl and sweets are strong micro bad macro players and junker is an all around talented player who can also win. Depends who gets solo suicided.

M35
HighTac [Rage]
IWANTWC4 [Inc]
Eshan [Zig]
Seksi [CoR]

Ugh
 🐍🐵🐦🐺 guess who is who

M36
Aarnikratti [Rage]
Betoon [Inc]
Tyrant [Zig]
Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]

Cumulo is riding his Llama trying to personally lead his team to victory. The Peruvian menace, the Scumulo, is playing on such a high level that he rushed Tyrant out last game, and gave Tyrant his first 4th place ever. Betoon is outclassed here and Aarni wont be able to handle 2v1 vs cumulo. So if Tyrant dies first again, the Llamas will bellow

M37
Dinamo [BM]
Supremo [FREE]
Ponty [SS]
Trunks [ENA]

if trunkz wins again he might surpass kanye as the most selfconfident person in the world. Which he should. I love trunkz. But not as much as trunkz loves trunkz. Trunkz has statues of himself in his room. He keeps a mirror on his screen at all times so he can self motivate himself. He sets up a webcam to tape himself playing. He doesnt watch replays of the match, he watches a replay of himself playing the match. Then he makes love to his "10/10" girlfriend while she whispers "I'm a vampire" to him as the Trunkz statues look down in self satisfied approval. Trunkz #1

EvilPeanut [BM]
Gradient [FREE]
Noexxx [SS]
QQs [Ena]

Someone said Tom is the most improved player but its definitely Evilpeanut. But i cant give him the nod over the young Thor of FFA. Peanut and QQs tried to team together once, on emerald shores, vs Joey, and it was the saddest display ever witnessed. Actually maybe gradient could win! If he just goes tinker panda kotg, and says "y iq10?" everytime he kills a building

M40
WRECKTIFY [BM]
Joggel [FREE]
AlienWareOwnZ [SS]
Jaod [Ena]

All hail the king. Good fights man. Alien can win this too. But joggel lacks macro and jaod lacks...the inner focus.

[Seksi]

M33
Airenikus [Rage]
Fetta_ook [Inc]
Mog [Zig]
Renaud [CoR]

I think Mog will win this game.  Renaud doesn't like Orc players.   

M34
LssL [Rage]
MrSweets [Inc]
Junkerzam [Zig]
Valefort [CoR]

I like MrSweets here.  Junker or Vale would normally be my pick but i think MrSweets will get good hero levels and dominate with Orc. 

M35
HighTac [Rage]
IWANTWC4 [Inc]
Eshan [Zig]
Seksi [CoR]

Playing with Eshan is either really easy or really annoying.  IWANTWC4 could win, but I think HighTac has the best chances.  HighTac is one of the better elf players and he is smart and diplomatic. 

M36
Aarnikratti [Rage]
Betoon [Inc]
Tyrant [Zig]
Zs.Supercumulo [CoR]

Supercumulo will win this game by playing well and playing Human. 

M37
Dinamo [BM]
Supremo [FREE]
Ponty [SS]
Trunks [ENA]

Looks like fresh meat for Trunks, not having to deal with Tanks or Bats he can go pure MG/Dryad vs all elves.   These three players probably won't be able to coordinate teaming.   If I were part of that trio, I would consider 3 hero harassing Trunks main.   

M38
Slythe [BM] 💣
WeakUD [FREE]💣
SosoHasRedHair [SS]💣
TomToast [Ena]💥

This one I'll take Shave.  Shave has joined the club of laming Trunks off the map recently, his take was 6 workshop Tanks.   Shave has the skill to win with Human or Orc and both of those races are solid on LT.

M39
EvilPeanut [BM]
Gradient [FREE]
Noexxx [SS]
QQs [Ena]

Smaller map favors Noexxx here.  Other players can compete but in all (almost) human game, Noexxx should be able to keep the momentum from start to finish. 

M40
WRECKTIFY [BM]
Joggel [FREE]
AlienWareOwnZ [SS]
Jaod [Ena]

I think Joggel will win this game in an upset.  Wrecktify and Alien are both smart players but may clash too much and Joggel has good enough micro and Orc race to win in the end with levels and some gold.   

[Peregrine]

Haha snakeski manips on his own match in prediction thread 🐍🐍🐍

[Seksi]

HighTac has better micro then you Eshan and he just started, plus knows how to manip and scout.  He is one of the better Elf players. 

You love me, Eshan.  I take a couple days off and come back to see you mention my name in discord and FML 100 times. 

Your infatuation with "The Great Seksi" as you call me is unparalleled in our wonderful community.

Sending you some love back.  I might whip out my big 🐍 for you too. 

[Peregrine]

Rattled the snake lol

Keep working your snake charm on hightac maybe he'll be this games puppet for you

[FML|HighTac]

You both won my heart :))

[IWANTWC4]

Seksi...lol I find it funny what Eshan does.   He pre game manip more than anyone then literally all he is going to do for the next week is whine and cry like a bitch about our pregame manip.

In week 3 match up verse him and alien I said alien was going to win, but yet Eshan whined and cried like a bitch about I manip verse him pregame.

It's easy to tell when Eshan is full of shit though.   Every time he opens his mouth or moves his fingers bullshit is all the comes out.
