FFA lovers of StarCraft

Post by Crossroads Inc. »

Hope it is ok to make another Stacraft thread.

Wanted to come out after discovering IskatuMesk's FFA replays on YouTube.
I have always liked FFA's, but the standard ones of Blizz are capped at 4 people. Even though there on 6 and even 8 player maps, the most you are ever against are 4 on an FFA. IskatuMesk on the other hand often hosts not just 8, but ten and even TWELVE Man FFA's with amazing and hilarious consequences!
For those interested, check out the StarCraft section of this site campaigncreations where they organize their games. Played two games last night after joining up, an awesome 7man FFA and a 8man FFA later :mrgreen:

FFAs are really, really fun. The best part is how unpredictable they are which means they're never boring.

Incidentally that youtube channel is supremely ugly.

The channel is ugly, but watch some of his replays and you'll laugh your ass off, especially the most recnt one.

And I agree, FFA's are wonderful because it is just you against the world, but unlike 1v1 there are a lot more variables to a game and usually much larger maps for "Fun" to take place in.
