As a terran, on maps with close islands to start location, I would lift my CC right off the bat and settle on an island, then develop aerial army while not being bothered by the others warfares.
Ok, I LIVE for this stuff! Love the shenanigans! Artosis, please consider having a weekly cast of wacky games like this! I have such fond memories of when you had pros play classic SC maps that sucked or "Guys in the chat FFA"!
This was an excellent mix-up The FFA was pretty fun it was to see the back and forth between an alliance the degradation of the alliance and the ultimate betrayal
Cool idea casting an FFA. Would have loved to see Dark Archon mind control a drone or scv to start 200 extra supply with another race. It's the ultimate winning strategy for FFA.
My favorite FFA map is killing fields. I used to host FFA matches sooooo much. Got soo good at the map I won’t pretty much everytime even playing random. Best thing you can do is to make units rather than a traditional defense at the start and have that as your defense with 2-3 cannons/sunkens/bunkers as an amplifier if that makes sense. There was also this dude in US West server named “SCpsyOPS” that was TRASH at the game. He would host FFA on this map every night and I was perma banned and my buddy so we would make alt accounts would to smurf into his games just to kill him and he would have a list on a piece of paper with all our alt accounts and anyone who killed him he can ban them. Dude would get sooo mad it was hilarious he always went Zerg air too.
@@dog-n2b just from his games he did it to everyone who would Kill him first. We would just join his games for fun to watch him rage. “DONT KILL ME ILL BAN YOU AND ADD YOU TO MY LIST”
Tough night for Gypsy honestly, went 0-3 then a rough time against Cross in the FFA. But a nice game overall, was really fun to watch Artosis! Thanks to you and Ursa and the players for this!
@@veidro What exactly did I make up? You said, “he didn’t see a single Protoss unit”, which we now both agree was incorrect. Being able to admit when you’re wrong is part of being an adult - don’t be upset!!
Fun game, love me some FFA! BTW Artosis have you ever tried (7)Broken Steppes (in the Broodwar folder) for a FFA? My old clan used to do Survival FFA tournaments basically every weekend, and that was always a favorite.
Can we get FME high level games as well? 1v1 and 2v2 or 3v3s would be nice, as dynamics are very interesting. FFA is awesome specially if they troll each other like in this game. Pretty hilarious stuff.
4 storms (or is it 5?) kill a Carrier, so with enough HTs left over I don't think you even need Dark Archons unless it's a truly massive 10+ carrier group. Dragon I think could have cleared those during the first engagement if he micro'd properly, but by the time he started to storm the Carriers most of his army was dead. Honestly not that I blame him, you never see Carriers in real PvP.
Hey Artosis! Why you are not casting chat FFAs on your channel any more? Those were super fun! I have read in the comments that those are only available for Patreon supporters - any truth to that?
Has there ever been a showmatch or tournament with money on the line for any "non-standard" game type? That is, Greed, Slaughter, Sudden Death, Capture the Flag, or Team Capture the Flag? All the other modes (except UMS) are "standard" in the sense that you get a town hall and four workers at the spawn location and win by eliminating all opponents, but those ones are fundamentally different. Greed and Slaughter seem like boring game modes to me, but Capture the Flag might be a fun one.
I love when Arty hosts FFAs like this. Chaos REIGNS!
Chaos was exactly the word I was going to use. The pro-gamer FFAs are so much fun
I am always glad the replays keep the banter as well
I miss the shitty map 8 man FFAs
@@lukebomber Its wild, been watching these 3 years old FFA uploads the recent few days, had not seen them before. theyre so fun to watch
the yellow vs white PvP at the end, can't tell who's who

Starting from zero SCVs? It will take you 3-4 mins to even get back to the starting scv count.
@@MaxKemeny It is recommended to mine for a minute first, to gather resources at least for 3 new SCVs first. Then, you can recover
Awesome cast Artosis!! Love the format and it was great to see pros out of their element trying new stuff
Ok, I LIVE for this stuff! Love the shenanigans!

"He's killing a ragnosaur with a probe"
Miss the twitch chat FFA's you used to hold back in the day. Gives us some more casual sides of Starcraft we rarely see these days :)
He still does those all the time when he's streaming. Probably 1 a week I'd guess.
I haven't really seen too many pro FFA games, let's go!
0:09 No rules? Wow! Everyone will go flying scvs.
Funniest game in a long time :) The chat, the trolling and 'He's killing a ragnosaur with a probe' :)
Thanks for this cast, super awesome FFA! Would love to see more FFA on this channel!
This was fun. More frequent FFAs would be welcome, and some 2v2s would be really cool as well!

you and your buddy were permabanned? sounds like you guys were teaming up against everyone and thats why you were banned 😉

“DONT KILL ME ILL BAN YOU AND ADD YOU TO MY LIST”
that story makes u look bad
@@zero_wing_ only to nerds like you
"a man of culture"
Love it
Great Lawless vid, great to see a terran player spice it up every so often
that really was fun! thank you for that :)
More FFAs plz !
they have to play Team melee :D (then it is 1x1, but in each team are two person).
Please more FFA and team games. It's what Starcraft was meant to be.
i need a free for all with the top 4 of ASL
Thanks for casting RT! Who’s the author of the artworks on the left that you’ve been using?
Seconding this question, I know it's digital but I like the way whoever did it went for that gouache sketch look.
27:18 Terran music is the only thing that makes a PvP worth watching.
Such an awesome event, I'd love more. Speed upgraded 3/3/3 scouts could demolish carriers, I think. But DAs are definitely the way to go. :)
First time watching pro FFA games, but I love it!
team 4v4 on Hunters would be great :/
If we’re doing classic island maps now then you gotta do Island Hop next!
Like if you had played Plains of Snow in WC2 before SC came out :D
this was great. i hope we get more FFA in the future.
Tough night for Gypsy honestly, went 0-3 then a rough time against Cross in the FFA. But a nice game overall, was really fun to watch Artosis! Thanks to you and Ursa and the players for this!
I love this.
Host 2v2 tournaments as well idk
Finally something else then 1v1 ... fun!
Did it really have to be two guys playing the lightest colored race players with the lightest colors in the game left as last?
gypsy is such a bad sport man. Does a bad attack and then ragequits when it doesnt work
I’d say teaming in an FFA is being a bad sport
@@noahbaker-kang5148 those "teammates" was literally actively killing eachother. He didn't see a single protoss unit, just flipped over and died lmao
@@veidro Huh? You can see Gypsy leave after he sees the Protoss army going towards his base at around 16:00. You shouldn’t just make stuff up.
@@noahbaker-kang5148 lmfao he saw one reaver, everything else was out of vision. You shouldn’t just make stuff up.

Crossie's wretched manipulation xD xD xD
My ffa strategy was turtle with cannons and rush carriers...
Come on, among all the colors, the two protoss must be white and yellow!?

We need more FFAs, maybe do a mix of pro players and fans

I wish these guys wouldn't leave like it's a 1v1
We need this more or teamgames
It would be so much fun if pro players played more ffa from time to time
And I thought corsairs destroyed carriers as they wipe their shields

ARTY YOU NEED TO DO MORE FFAS

Can you make a modern FFA map and have top korean pros play on it for money?
Not blood bath? 😢
