[rbr.Godfather]

Match 1

Slythe
Joggel
Peanut
rbr.Godfather

This game will be a fast one. Joggel rushes me, slythe will struggle against Peanut. I will pretend alive while Joggel hoard a lot of gold. He will leave me and I will suicide peanut for smurfing in discord chat thus leaving win for my friend Joggel.


Map Pool: Silverpine Forest, Monsoon non-LV, Dragon Island


Match 2

Gradient
DV
SuperCumulo
Eshan

Map Pool: Market Square, Blasted Lands, Legends

Rat king game. Four most hated players of all time in one game. Hightac rigged that one for sure. DV has been laughing on my FFA skills also my solo ones but his nerves will be out of the nerv-o-meter after this game. Eshan crying all game and gradient building bases with his last wisps will give advantage to the lama king himself. Cumulo will flush down gradient as fast as possible and will manipulate hard enough to make dv suicide eshan for being annoying. Still very unpredictable game since gradi has upgraded his skill from autism level to cancer in first stage but still I bet my money on Cumi.

Match 3

qwest
GEASS
Rain
Betoon

If this is dkh.rain which I know he wont stand a chance in this game. GEASS pretty solid games last season and favourite for final this season as well. Qwest has been commenting some stuff in youtube with his funny voice so I dont think he trained enough ffa to make any difference in the game. Ez win for G

Map Pool: La Rosa Nautica, Deadlock LV, Anarchy Castle


Match 4

Lil Tic
mrSweets
:Switzerland: Noexxx
Airenikus

Map Pool: Fountain of Manip, Cold Plains, Northshire LV

I was hoping to get Airen in my game since I bribed him with some prostitutes and drugs in Golden Sands but the karma had other plans for him. Champion for two times in a row will have a pretty equal opo in the face of baby Federer aka noexx. The swiss has been missing the scene where he have been making really action packed games. Good to be back. Whoever tomes mrsweets will win the game. I expect fast three way and human will win in the end. I will cheer for Noex.

Match 5

aarnikratti
ep123
b100death
FAiL.Life

Map Pool: Twilight Ruins non-LV, Harvest of Sorrow, Twisted Grove

Without doubt arni is the best micro,macro,high IQ and sexy player here. Fast level 6 dh and he will win 3v1 easy. I hope others dont preteam this imbalanced player from start, but even then the chances are 50/50 for him to win.

Match 6

Jaod
Trunkz
Junkerzam
Jiexa

If trunkz doesnt waste his energy on his girlfriend just before the game he will have enough energy to destroy his opos with superior style. Two tomes ready to be taken from junker and trunkz. In the 1v1 trunkz will win since better micro and ofc imbalanced race.

Map Pool: Typhoon, Meson de la Taberna, Purity 2.0


Match 7

Vyvanne
supremo
Fetta_ook
QQs

Map Pool: Neon City, Thunder Lake, Deathrose

I dont know who will be tomed faster - fetta or supremo. Depending on that the game will be decided. Vyv has advantage in his late game because he is simply asian and we know asians are high IQ. QQs is formal champion but he had poor performance last seasons so no wonder if he is tome also. If I had one million I would bet everything on vyv. Fetta still sending nudes to arni and supremo still trying to catch some wi-fi from some restaurants near him so winner is obvious.

[Lil Tic]

Match 1

Slythe
Joggel
Peanut
rbr.Godfather

Map Pool: Silverpine Forest, Monsoon non-LV, Dragon Island

I'm rlly glad to see Peanut playing fml again because he is the one who shown me the way to it :D, but I think Joggel will take this game, because every game I play with him, he seems better and better to me. But it's a balanced game so unless somebody (cough cough) suicides for smurfing it could be a great game that every of the four players could win XD.

Match 2

Gradient
DV
SuperCumulo
Eshan

Map Pool: Market Square, Blasted Lands, Legends

When there is love, there is hope, or however it goes in the saying xD. 3 spidermen pointing at each other and the only one who differs, u have to support the underdog :).

Match 3

qwest
GEASS
Rain
Betoon

Map Pool: La Rosa Nautica, Deadlock LV, Anarchy Castle

Betoon will see again what it is to play vs players like qwest and GEASS, and the ending won't be happy for him. I predict Geass to win because human is op with orb. I never saw Rain play though and I heard all praise so we will see.

Match 4

Lil Tic
mrSweets
Noexxx
Airenikus

Map Pool: Fountain of Manip, Cold Plains, Northshire LV

It's narcissist to predict my own victory, so it's a lucky chance that I got more than a worthy opponent here (one that can chew me in 20 mins 75% of the time), but I do think that one of us humans will prevail. Airen and Sweets are some of my favorite opponents too because they have good manners.

Match 5

aarnikratti
ep123
b100death
FAiL.Life

Map Pool: Twilight Ruins non-LV, Harvest of Sorrow, Twisted Grove

Fin and Rus will restart cold war (edit I obviously meant winter war XD) and go for each other, which leaves ep to reap the harvest of discord that was sown on... discord, if you'll pardon the pun (a bad one XD). I am looking forward to this game if b100 shows :D.

Match 6

Jaod
Trunkz
Junkerzam
Jiexa

Map Pool: Typhoon, Meson de la Taberna, Purity 2.0

IF HE SHOWS. Boosted by his cozy new lifestyle thanks to tens of thousands of € and $ pouring to him from thirsty followers of his girlfriend he should have the calmness and relaxed mind u need to win a ffa. Junker can be a dangerous opponent tho, but I hope to see our favorite iron neck winning this.

Match 7

Vyvanne
supremo
Fetta_ook
QQs

Map Pool: Neon City, Thunder Lake, Deathrose

I agree with godfather on this, I would be very surprised if anybody else than vyvanne won, mayyyybe maybe qqs, because he plays human after all. Beware of the 100 pop push and u might get it :D.

[Vyvanne]

Match 1

Slythe
Joggel
Peanut
rbr.Godfather

Map Pool: Silverpine Forest, Monsoon non-LV, Dragon Island


Hmm this is kind of tough to call I think.  I don't think off the top of my head anyone has a clear advantage over another ? Godfather has some great UD play esp w/ his wagons, Slythe always using interesting hero combos, the honorable Joggel, and Peanut smurfing apparently.  If Peanut was the guy in our Emerald Shores game earlier today, I suspect Slythe and him will be slugging it out early in anger. 

Match 2

Gradient
DV
SuperCumulo
Eshan

Map Pool: Market Square, Blasted Lands, Legends

Eshan Cumulo again lol.  #Riggedadmins.  Map choice might be a huge factor here for Gradi - his hero style I believe is map dependent so you never know what you'll get. I'd really be interested to see them play on Legends, that'll really change up the dynamics vs a more 'standard' map.  Cool to see DV playing again, though honestly we'll have to see how in shape Eshan, Cumulo, and DV are.  Gradi has improved a lot honestly, and animal style is such a huge pain in the ass.  DV looks pretty good in the few inhouse games we've played, excited for this match. 


Match 3

qwest
GEASS
Rain
Betoon

Map Pool: La Rosa Nautica, Deadlock LV, Anarchy Castle

One newcomer to FFA and what sounds like a returning player maybe? I'm not familiar with Rain at all.  On paper I would give this to Qwest but we'll see.  Human orb op.

Match 4

Lil Tic
mrSweets
Noexxx
Airenikus

Map Pool: Fountain of Manip, Cold Plains, Northshire LV

Noex is the powerhouse favorite of this match.  We have the honorable Sweets (whom I struggle against in ladder matches all the time :D he has a knack for having my number and it's impressive and frustrating at the same time ) and Airen from RUS, and our former champion Tic. I hate playing late game vs Tic, he has great overall unit control and understanding of mechanics, and his decision making is usually damn good.  Hopefully Noe doesn't have computer issues and can stay stable for the victory!


Match 5

aarnikratti
ep123
b100death
FAiL.Life

Map Pool: Twilight Ruins non-LV, Harvest of Sorrow, Twisted Grove

The return of B GOD.  Very excited to see him back and playing, really looking forward to studying his games and his creeping patterns. Ep has been streaming a lot, both FFA and 1v1 and I hope he plays human - he's one of my favorite HU players to watch. There isn't the most you can do with UD to make your own unique fingerprint on the game sadly, no disrespect at all to how Ep plays, it's just the race, so I like watching his Hu more  :D   

Match 6

Jaod
Trunkz
Junkerzam
Jiexa

Map Pool: Typhoon, Meson de la Taberna, Purity 2.0

Trunkz has been playing WoW, so will he show + be in shape?  We'll see. Janker's been playing a ton as usual and his skills have remained quite sharp, and Jaod and Jiexa are no slouch either.  This will be an interesting one, another fairly evenly matched game.  Trunkz is on paper the favorite but could get teamed and or/not be in the best of shape.

Match 7

Vyvanne
supremo
Fetta_ook
QQs

Map Pool: Neon City, Thunder Lake, Deathrose

It's hard to be objective in your own game.  I'm really not a big fan of the map choices tbh, hate Deathrose and Neon City is such a biased human/elf map.  As usual, I like to think I'm pretty strong in 1v1 and feel I can take any early fight pretty well, but have not yet faced a lot of humans in late game with the new orb, so we'll see how things go.  If fetta plays orc over random, that's my weakest matchup by far so it may be a pretty uphill battle for me.

[Peregrine]

Slythe
Joggel
Peanut
rbr.Godfather

Map Pool: Silverpine Forest, Monsoon non-LV, Dragon Island

Hard to predict, they all play well. Godfather has the best late game, Joggel and Peanut are great fighters, Slythe is the most experienced. Just a guess, but...Joggel.

Match 2

Gradient
DV
SuperCumulo
Eshan

Map Pool: Market Square, Blasted Lands, Legends

Thanks Hightac. Either DV or SC can beat me 1v1. I hope SC doesn't do what he did before and 2v1 me from start to remove me from the game. The real victory will be leaving this game with our sanity intact.


Match 3

qwest
GEASS
Rain
Betoon

Map Pool: La Rosa Nautica, Deadlock LV, Anarchy Castle

Geass is a beast. But Qwest is like an undead AI. Between those two...

Match 4

Lil Tic
mrSweets
Noexxx
Airenikus

Map Pool: Fountain of Manip, Cold Plains, Northshire LV

The two most successful humans in FML. Noe aka Thor, vs Lil Tic aka baby genius. It really depends how much brains and honor the other two have.


Match 5

aarnikratti
ep123
b100death
FAiL.Life

Map Pool: Twilight Ruins non-LV, Harvest of Sorrow, Twisted Grove

The way B100 could lose is if he gets rushed. And Aarni could be the one to do it. But how successful will he be? EP is quite good too, and could get a favorable matchup vs Fail.Life.

Match 6

Jaod
Trunkz
Junkerzam
Jiexa

Map Pool: Typhoon, Meson de la Taberna, Purity 2.0

I've seen Janker beat the best players in this league, including Trunkz. And his endgame strategies are top tier. He outplayed me and reinforcement- in a 4hour semi recently, which took epic concentration. Especially if Trunkz is out of shape, this will go to the AppleOfFetta'sEye.

Match 7

Vyvanne
supremo
Fetta_ook
QQs

Map Pool: Neon City, Thunder Lake, Deathrose

Just clean them up, V. Start with the Orc and make your way around. No offense to the others but Vyv is in such great shape.

[ep123]

Slythe
Joggel
Peanut
rbr.Godfather

Map Pool: Silverpine Forest, Monsoon non-LV, Dragon Island

Joggel, Peanut are good fighters and Slythe is an unorthodox player.
However, Godfather is a tryhard and has the brainpower
which probably will help him to get the victory.

Match 2

Gradient
DV
SuperCumulo
Eshan

Map Pool: Market Square, Blasted Lands, Legends

A game with Eshan which has DV + SC doesn't sound promising for him.
Every his manip will be punished severely.
DV has high skills, however, new HU orb is super imba now and SC shows dedication and desire to win games.

But all this won't be enough to stop Gradient.

Match 3

qwest
GEASS
Rain
Betoon

Map Pool: La Rosa Nautica, Deadlock LV, Anarchy Castle
I think Qwest has all the necessary experience to win in this cast.


Match 4

Lil Tic
mrSweets
Noexxx
Airenikus

Map Pool: Fountain of Manip, Cold Plains, Northshire LV

Noexxx is too strong to win in the cast (at least it won't be easy to end up at the 1st place).
He will get hard teaming.
Sweets (a strong orc) and patient, calculating players like LT and Airen will do their best to decrease his chances for the victory.
Still, anybody in here has chances to win and it's hard to predict,
but I think  LT will get it in the end.

Match 5

aarnikratti
ep123
b100death
FAiL.Life

Map Pool: Twilight Ruins non-LV, Harvest of Sorrow, Twisted Grove

Arrni, me + b100u will have fun time rushing, suiciding and flaming each other.
While Fail.life gets a free win.

Match 6

Jaod
Trunkz
Junkerzam
Jiexa

Map Pool: Typhoon, Meson de la Taberna, Purity 2.0

Unfortunately, I don't see Trunkz polishing his FFA skills and proving that he is alpha-male lately. Maybe he is a cuck now... (???)
Jaod, Jiexa are experienced and good players but I don't see them often winning many FML games.

Junker tries his best to learn Trunkz style (judging from in-houses) and is  a handsome, smart gentleman.
Probably he will win.

Match 7

Vyvanne
supremo
Fetta_ook
QQs

Map Pool: Neon City, Thunder Lake, Deathrose

Since QQs plays on Mac he will get "Fatal error" and will be the first one who is out. Thanks, Blizzard!
Vyvanne will tome supremo hard but bats + Orc heroes will prevail in the end.

[Slythe]

So....here we go again. Season 30!
Some have the chance to net a 2nd win and there are plenty of guys that are overdue with winning a season. Itīs gonna be glorious.

Match 1

Slythe
Joggel
Peanut
rbr.Godfather

very very interesting


Match 2

Gradient
DV
SuperCumulo
Eshan

DV> Gradient & Cumulo > Eshan >> DV>Cumulo


Match 3

qwest
GEASS
Rain
Betoon

qwest best shape from what i know, but geass obviously always dangerous with his micro & race and last season shown patience and tryhard.
Havenīt Rain see play long time so absolutely no clue - he holds the finnish stripes high. Betoon is to me - solely for his accname an alltime favourite.


Match 4

Lil Tic
mrSweets
Noexxx
Airenikus

hopefully we see two orc vs 2 humans, but i doubt airenikus will play orc. so itīll be interesting to see what approach Tic will take, how effective sweets herofocus will be, how much noe will care and what openings airenikus can create or will present for him.


Match 5

aarnikratti
ep123
b100death
FAiL.Life

aarni has do deliver, but can he handle the pressure he created around himself as the hyped new school ffamaster? i think he can. ep is pretty active and in shape though and b100 seems to be as precise and clinical as ever. Life has some fml experience and will be underestimated due to his inconsistent showing and basically never playing inhouses.


Match 6

Jaod
Trunkz
Junkerzam
Jiexa

havenīt seen jaod, trunkz or jiexa playing much or at all lately, which makes junkerzam the logical favourite. But normally it could be everyones game. jaod pretty strong vs trunkz early, while junker also has a chance vs him, but suffers from the fate of a rdm player timing wise against that strat i suppose. If jiexa can survive midgame heīs in for a surprise.


Match 7

Vyvanne
supremo
Fetta_ook
QQs

looking forward to how this gonna play out! supremo and fetta always in for some giggles and maybe qqs wanna make them bend their knee to him and his humankings crown.
