You I Hey guys, what's up, how's it going? Welcome to the stream! I am looking forward to some Age of Empires 2 today, I'm also going to be playing Warcraft 3. I believe Age of Empires 2 will have downtime today. I saw there was going to be server downtime, they said so in the game. That means it's the worst day of my life. However, we can play other games. Where does it say? I saw it yesterday. I think I saw it yesterday, is it not true anymore? When I was looking off it said 18 hours, 18 hours from now, which means during the time that I would normally be playing and streaming. Maybe they're done already. I could still play Warcraft 3. Now, Mechaberm was going to happen today, but unfortunately, Banjoa Matteo was sick. Is sick. He's not feeling well today, so it's cancelled. We're also going to do a 1 vs 3 in Starcraft 2. But that's all cancelled. We'll move into another day. I don't know when yet, whenever he feels better. Civilization 4, while Sif 2 is down. Now there is a thought. Sif 4. I don't even know if I've ever played that. I don't think I have. Let's take a look at it. Hey, what's up, it's 2 ok. Still no ads today. AJG, Ruygen guys, how's it going? 110 days. Fred Birkhoff, good to see you again. Thank you for the give's up. AJ, grubby life? Yeah, what's up Lama sweater? Sif4, let's play. Is this a good Sif? When did it come out? for release To Jesus 2005 Hey, my name is Israel and I'm gonna be doing it 2005. Oh my god. It looks so old and dated What the Frank? Oh, this does not look good. Am I the only one? Is this a hot take? Am I the only one that thinks if two looks better? I am a male and your your city style I have a surplus Okay, it looks better in my memory The high council oh, yeah, they had real people they had advisors real people like was common in the times like command and conquer and stuff This guy actually act like Elvis. It was a fucking joke like what? sift to Elvis guy Let love and wine bear knights maintain, no complaint, Sire, and bear united laterally. Oh, the world marvels at our superior intellect, Sire. Sire, I propose we construct more marketplaces for all will benefit when the finest goods are traded within our cities. I always liked clicking these over and over. This was really good. This came out like what, 1995 or something? Having like people, you can press a button for people to speak. That was top tier cinema back then. Other lands regard us with suspicion lord. Perhaps it's time to mend our treacherous ways. And perhaps it's time to mend our enemies with our bloody sword points! Nice one. Got him. Well, sir, the people live happily in your kingdom. I didn't like the Elvis one. That's so immersion breaking. What the fuck? That's so cheesy. But I guess they were just having fun with it. And that's kind of cool. I have to say. The people rejoice, sir. Lord of your majesty, the king agrees. I agree, Sire. Finally. I assume this was a joke video. No, no, no, it's a real. It's a real. It's a real. By the way, I think my editor has been doing amazing on shorts. Before, sometimes, something cool happens in a game. And he makes an edit out of it, and it's pretty much what you see is what you get. But he's been adding. Like, I get these recommended to myself. I think they're so funny. why why is it not playing oh guys it's the new because I turned off auto play it's not working wait let me let me watch this on another browser the guys in anything beast I think he really took it to another level there why aren't they playing what the fuck why is it so buggy oh there it is and now there's no sound all right there Okay. wrote in comments, couldn't you just have tp'd earlier? Yes, but then I would have to tp'd earlier with too strength, we don't need to. I realized that's actually a tinker quote. Yeah, baby. I'm starting to speak like the heroes that play us. He can't coil me because I keep going to his back and there's turn rates in this game. He could have know about me there if he was faster. They're fun, right? The edits. I think it's funny. It adds a lot. The moments were fun in-game already. Well, sometimes I review videos or shorts before they go live, and other times they go live without me having reviewed them. And I watch them for the first time when they get recommended to my own YouTube algorithm. And then I just sit there giggling and cackling. Is that the Steve Carell from The Office? Pit Lordified? It is, right? Please no no Why are you gay Remember when Grubby says he goes to play Starcraft by Warcraft 3? It was like your girlfriend cheats on you. Okay, hold up a second. I thought I saw the most parasocial comment today when one of my mods posted the following. This right here. Members are heating up, Finn Wolfhard and Sadie Sink are dating, I don't know who those are. Some ST fans, I later realized, Stranger Things fans, say they should not be allowed. I've seen the videos and I wouldn't be surprised if something is going on. But in my opinion, this should not be allowed. Lucas and Max and Mike and Eleven are two established couples and this would make people ship Mike X Max. What do you mean? It shouldn't be allowed. their entire lives revolve around the series. Love your SAOE content. Do how long do you think it will last? A month? Did you know it would have an upgrade in the monastery that allowed them to convert mechanical units? I know that my manganelle got converted yesterday. I didn't know it needs an upgrade or if there's a sift that doesn't need it. That was a bad moment for me. Yesterday was a hard day. Yeah, I would like to play a lot longer. We'll see how it goes, who be Them dating can cause problems. Thank you for the stuff. I appreciate it Them dating can cause problems with the way that their series is perceived. These actors have a fiduciary duty to the viewers. They can date anyone else but not each other Not gonna lie, this is low-key disrespectful to Millie Bobby Brown Why didn't I read this? Oh, when Grubby says he goes to play Starcraft, buy Warcraft 3, it was like your girlfriend cheats on you. It can't be real. Where's today's cosplay? I'm wearing it! What do you think? This is my best Malaysian wear. I mean, I don't really, I mean, I could wear like a, what's it called, a, what's it called, one of those long, satiny, flowery, I got, I got this, hopefully it kind of looks age of empyreish. I like the vest more. I've got even better. I'm so wrong. Yeah, I've got better than what I'm wearing today. I just saw this hanging in the cupboard. Guys, check this out. A level 60 died. Let's see what happens. I'm also doing a simple haircut. I have a simple, messy, sweaty, working-field haircut. Nothing modern. I'm trying to fit in with Age of Empires. a nice little bowl cut, gave it a... I'm a downtrodden civilian, I have no time to do modern hairstyles. A level 60 diet here. Oh, this is one of my favorite dungeons. This is Stratholm, on that side. What happened? What happened here? two warriors, a warlock, a mage and a priest. No rage, and the priest is one third or one quarter mana. So this is where there's like 10, 15 abominations, and you should pull one by one. In fact, you don't have to pull anyone. These abominations, they're like really tanky, and they do a poison AoE attack, which some people can remove I guess, and one by one they will come to you. You can pull more, but you got to be careful you don't pull multiple, but one by one scripted will come to you. I think it picks a random one from 10 to 15 AWMs to go to you one by one. And one time when we were really confident, Death Row was like let's pull three at the same time, or let's pull two at the same time. And he even wanted to try like four or five, but people didn't like it and didn't we almost die and then Rackula got mad because he pulled too many at the same time and Rackula didn't agree to it but he was like muted and it was actually he said in my 400 hours of play this is the closest i've come to death and i'm really mad and i didn't agree to that and so on yeah we did like four he was really mad You're not supposed to charge in! Wait, what is...is he just... Guys, does anyone know? Is this an experienced player? Like he doesn't know? Oh my god, okay, okay. Is he noob? He must be noob. Yeah, Broody is OG. Okay, so he's an OG noob then. Or a risk taker. I can play with a 3 kill I can play with a 3 kill Someone is blizzarding, that doesn't do much good Needs a single target, but look at how much health they have They have 15k HP each I want Yeah, I have Floman I have Floman Please don't do any AoE shit Please don't do any AoE bullshit, someone said Oh, that's because the mage did a frost nova That's actually a really good time buying mechanic Here to make sure to take down one by one But what we're missing here is the prioritization to kill one by one. If anyone AOE's, they can break the Frost Nova early. Yes, I have made a target, someone said, but I don't see it. Can these be slowed? Yes, they can be slowed as you see it. I have aggro from three people says, who says that? Breaks? Breaks who's a warrior? I'm going to flash an oomium, by the way. Guys, I'm going to be oom soon, says tree lover, the priest. Oh my god. Please, oh my god. Did you have to play? No. Someone said Petri, Petri. I don't have a Petri game. No, I don't have a Petri. Play this out, says Jet Set Broody, the one we're watching, Broody Fuller. But looks like Brex already Petried. So he called it and did it at the same time. Please, I can't leave this. I can't leave Bro, play now! Bro, just play it out! Come on now! I'm already going out Bro, go... Bro, re-talk If I say... Bro, real talk when I say... Play, play! play just play you can't just go out like this I want to see the rest is this a someone pulled the Oculus moment whoever pulled that back I'm not dead yet. Bro, don't go out! Bro, why don't you listen to me? Bro, please! What's happening? Can we get out of my bad? I'm sorry if it was my bad. No, it wasn't your bad, it was my bad. No, it was not your bad, it was my bad. I'm dead, I believe. I believe I'm dead also, it says Brex. I can't believe it. I'm still in it, I can't get 4 untouched. Brex? Maybe it was Tree Lover? Maybe it's Tree Lover that said he's gonna die? Someone said he's gonna die too. I can't get out of the group because I'm so sick of it When you have Petri, you should do a logout he says isn't it true yes bro but I didn't do this man it's too late already you have to do it instantly bro we could have easily played this man Yeah, oh my god, bro. Oh my god, bro This is That's so sick, bro You are I have not been Powerful evil said yeah after that I The uh, they're out after we said we're gonna go out I use my life balloon and got out when we said we're gonna Petri and go out I'm sorry if I sold you. I don't know if I sold Trelover. Yes, I think I sold Trelover on the call. If the game was on me, everything was good. other it's okay it's okay bro niemals instant patrin when it bro never instant Petra Petri when I pull a pack like this all it is können we can do it all I was good I was good Obama I think he's not completely done yet with blaming after he said it's his fault he gets That's another... Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. We could have played a little bit more easily. We could have played a little bit more easily. Yeah, yeah. I immediately started with 1-3-1. Yeah, yeah. I immediately started with 1-3-1. Follow Vada, which is the mage, Kevin, I guess. He says, yeah, I immediately started with a Blizzard and a Frost Nova at the beginning and so on. And Brudi was saying, you could play this out so easily. everything. We have so many tools to take care of this fight. You did everything right, he says to the mage. Who's the one at fault here, the priest? He killed his priest! Well, it's not that simple, right? Not just him charging forward to kill the priest, though it is the catalyst. It's the main problem. Yes, maybe they could still use skill and reaction to solve it. I'm actually starting I'm starting to see why people are saying that Petri is not as much of a band-aid against risk as you would believe, especially in group content. The doubt that you get about how you handle fights or whether you'll even handle them, whether you'll even handle them, and how quickly you go out, it actually sacrifices everyone that doesn't have it. Betten das einfach spielen sollen. Aber instant, Leiter für Lunen und Patrick zu drücken und einfach... Also... thousand per hour practice right but maybe with five thousand hours practice this happens I'll be like okay we're gonna take this fight don't petri can you frosten over them I'm marking the first target kill them one by one that will be if you do that I guarantee you no one's gonna petri unless you You're like a massive massive massive roach, but if you go panic And then sorry if someone says Petri someone is gonna Instantly click it you know it's gonna happen if the if the first call someone says Petri Someone's gonna else is gonna click it and you're gonna get this Disregulated partial retreat where some people get sold But you don't have like a single shotcaller. It is too casual for one person to be like the single shotcaller, usually. It is definitely not official. You're not in some kind of mythic dungeon team, you know what I mean? It's not a mythic dungeon team. It's five people grouping together, sometimes frequently together, sometimes infrequently. frequently. And through the natural laws of social interaction and relative game experience, someone usually emerges as a short scholar, but not official, but just they happen to say the most. I don't know in the dynamic who that is here. But my guess is if he's an OG, he's actually the leader. Usually it's the tank that's experienced and responsible. And in this case, it's not like you made a call, you can call. Don't Petri at the beginning. Tough death. I think the toughest part about this is that the priest died too when it was his fault. It was his fault in many ways. He even went in when the priest has 30% mana. That would not be appreciated even if he only pulled one. So the right person died, as some glitters would say. She says that the right person died, the one that deserved it. And the wrong person, the priest. That's all the deaths we have today, which are fun. Is there any Age of Empires 2 knower, knowing whether there's going to be server maintenance today? Okay, then I'll ask one of my contacts. Let me see... Let me call my buddies with Blizzard. Then it's time to do some AoE 2-ing. I will probably do some Warcraft 3 today as well. There have been some sick series. Hey! They had a map pool update. Oh, so I guess they already had the maintenance? Question mark? Ooh, map pool update. You see? You see? They took away all the water maps, almost all. No more arena? No, no, it's still there. I love arena. They took away two of the water maps. Mega random is part of it. Wow. Border dispute. Have you watched Happy Lin? Happy Lin is one of the series I want to watch and the other is Infi Focus. I'm gonna be casting both. Arabia and arena are almost always gonna be in the pool, really? Arena must be quite popular. I'll just thumb these three down and I'm not gonna highlight any. But before we begin with multiplayer, let's try the melee. My lady. Played the polls yesterday. Malia have access to technology to convert mech. Cool. Doesn't say here, does it? Grabby love your work lately again, enjoy your energy as always. Thank you Rizak, happy to have you here. I did not see that, Patrick. It's an undead, I suppose. Malay. Infantry and naval civilization. Advancing through the ages is 66% faster. That doesn't mean it takes 66 out of their 100%, does it? That's like divide by 1.66. So it takes off 40% so if it's 3 minutes it's like 2 minutes plus I would say or 2 minutes or so. If it's 3 minutes it's 2 minutes. Wait Tyler playing Warcraft 3 is this an old clip? There's no way he played recently is it? Hola, Deste, España. Hola, Deste, España. Mi vida por la ruida. There's no way he played recently, right? Bro, you know what this is like? This is literally like strat, undead, that one room. True. How did you sit on that clip? Okay Malay infantry armor upgrades are free. Okay Okay So we only have to upgrade four upgrades in the blacksmith completely before we make our first unit because the fifth one gets upgraded for free advancing through the ages Baby elephants battle elephants cast less in castle and imperial age Thanks for the raid. What level is your char? Welcome everyone. I miss our card. I watched a few dead clips recently. This one with Broody Vuller and Treloar was really sad. We almost cried. I'm sure I didn't laugh, never over 60 levels dead. Level 13, nice nice, you're still in the game, Nicholas. Yeah, yeah, yeah, minus 40%, that's all right. I am on my age of empires too, Ark. Welcome everybody. I bet Nicholas played sometime as well, I would imagine. Yeah, I didn't know how to leave it and I was too lazy to look it up in Scalibur. Something about dogs and fish, which I try to avoid water maps. Forced levy. Sourceman costs zero gold, but bonus food. Ah, trashman! So we get trash mended irons. Only food. Like scouts. wait they're very focused on boats man docks line-of-sight docks upgrade to harbors fish traps is Malay even good outside of water karambit warrior cheap infantry half population space it's only the fast tech in the infantry and the battle elephants I have no idea why you would play today I like Malay because I'm kind of Malay because my dad's That's Indonesian. Cute music. They're so cute! They're so cute! Sia! Sia! Appasasayayayaya. Appasasayayayaya. So cute! Selamat siangban. Sia! Sia! Did she just say Spasti? Did you hear that, Judd? She just used a German slur. Spasti! Appu is I. Spasti means the regarded word. I've had many German Warcraft 3 players call each other Spasti to the point where I remember that and said that too, but some people say it's not good to say, it's offensive. I think I play a couple of games away AoE 2 and then do some Warcraft 3 casts and And then back to Avery too, that's the plan today. Make sure to check your tech tree, there are some surprises, let's see. So I can't get champions, but I can get two handed swordsmen and I can make them cost only food and no gold. We can get Arbalester with no hand cannons. No Hussar, which is to be expected, no Paladins, but we get Elite Battle Elephants and Cavaliers. Upgrade cost is quite high, slow heavy cavalry with trample, weak against pikes and monks. Then we have Rams, we have Bombered Cannons, which is nice, Kareening, Ships of Pierce armor. Okay, this looks normal, normal. Elite Karambit Warrior, okay. From Castle H on, Cavalry is very weak. Okay, so I am a siege infantry ranged Sith Do you know Maggy Yard's strategy? No, of course not. What is that? Hello, Iverna. Oh my God. Hello, Iverna. Oh my god! Hello, Guzoo. How are you doing, man? Good stream today. Thank you for keeping me company. In the morning I was riding my next Warcraft guide and enjoying some chill Guzooing. Thank you very much for the raid, man. I appreciate it. Guzoo, I wish you were doing a night stream for TBC. You're not as old as you think you are. If you were doing a night stream, then I could raid you back sometime. That's a bit of a skeleton. I'm old, Gobi. No. You are a young, strapping man, sir. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise, including, and most of all, yourself. Because if you're old, then I'm ancient. I think. I'm not trying to assure your age, but... Ancient. Dota brain activate. Yes, I was born recently. I am on my Age of Empires arc, I have no idea how long it's going to last, but I'm extremely hooked on the game, it's so good. such a fun game. Really gel with it this time around as well. Also training for a show match against Hera. You think we can get Boozoo to A.V.2 sometime? One of the best RTS. I like the sound effects in the game. They're cute right? I'm playing Malay right now. Listen to their voices. So cute! There's really robust shift command understanding in this game. You can shift people from food to wood and they fully contextually understand to bring Come back to food and then go on the tree, which is I think very impressive because the most direct understanding of that queue of commands would be collect the food you're collecting and then throw it away and start harvesting food without returning it. In many games you would have to first go back again to drop off with a shift click and and then to the trees, but here they get it. I think I'll never be able to age up actually. Because I don't have enough food. Where did my bills go wrong? It's over. Restart. I'm practicing against AI, new sift today guys. Then I'm going to go to Ladder and play some multiplayer. If you make Lumi a bank enough? Yeah. aging up without loom because it's faster. By the way I was watching some Hera earlier today for a few hours watching and then I was doing some gardening and I was listening and he's pretty good. It's a little bit concerning he's extremely fast. I think it's a reason for concern. I think he's one of the better players. We need to rush him to win. Dude, I'm not gonna say what we're gonna do. The melee basic meta is your age of two population later than usual. Okay, it makes sense because you age up faster which actually gives you less chance to accumulate resources while you're aging up and that means you can't use your age up as much if you age up normal time to the point where the only thing you'll get out of it is your two eco upgrades that you'll get them so unusually early where they have slightly less impact and then they create a delay on your stables or archery range. So it makes sense to delay a bit and essentially borrow a bit of time out of it since you're going to get it back. Yes. Age up later, get one tumor bill, so you have more resources to still get to the age up at the same time, but now you've got more money than another Sith would. There's no point rushing out. The age up if you then conspend it properly. What if you have like 16 H to fight there? Hey me too, thank you very much for the sub, I appreciate it. Two more villagers means same uptime as other civs. The two more villagers at least for Feudal. Yep. Get some more on wood. And so, what would that be good for? Getting to Feudal with two extra villagers. That is good by default, naturally. Of course it is good by default. But in a very specific way, how will I be able to use that the best? That's the question. By the way, I didn't find any extra geese. Has any one of you seen any geese? The geese are hiding as well as Goozoo's blender, as of late. Why don't you just word it as 18 takes 40% less time? Because they're trying to filter the people bad at maths, which included me, but I looked it up before stream and then pretended that I figured it out myself on stream. Because I first thought too, it only takes one third of the time, 66% faster. watched Malay with very strong men at arm's time. Oh! Okay. No! I, uh, uh, strong men at arm's timing. Okay, so I would then want to be harvesting gold. i thought i stopped all the villagers from killing the deer too soon isn't there another ivex What's the closest safe for Gruby's nationality? My layer of Burgundians. A combination. A combination of course. I am part Dutch, part Indonesian, bigger part Dutch naturally. which you can probably tell looking at me. You look south Sudanese, I can see that, I can see that. So if I'm good at a man of arms timing, then it would be good to get gold. I think they cost 20 gold each. So two villagers on gold seems right. Two more villagers than usual. I thought you're full-time Dutch. My grandma of my dad's side and my dad were born in Indonesia But they do have a Dutch last name Which means there was already certain mixing as well Okay, so this would be the age up timing And now you would need to cut some trees, find your opponents. You look tall as hell. How does that work? I don't know. I'm the tallest of the four of us. I'm 6'2 and my brothers are like 5'11. 11, 5, 9, I guess, and 6-foot. So there's variants. I also have a darker skin and curly hair, brother, like it manifests in many different ways. One is wider, two are browner than me. That's the cool thing about genetics. know. So I've been watching some 2400 MMR games on the Aoe2 SIF observation channel. It looks like it's fully algorithmically determined, which is interesting. And people want a lot more than I'm doing on Arabia but then I was her on he wasn't walling see Banka you I barely have enough food, but I got some minute arms in production. World Tournament Games. So he's kind of making it exciting. 50 food. It looks like I miscalibrated my eco balance for Mended Arms. for Mended Arms. Inexperienced and bad. I wonder how many Mended Arms I would want to be effective. Yep, too much gold. Too late farms. See how good they are. Obviously you wouldn't get armor upgrades early on. too many woodcutters, yeah yeah yeah let's see how good they are, so they have an armor against piercing of 2 and town Town centers deal 5 damage, so it takes significant damage from town centers. Obviously he's going to have to run when they come in to do 5 damage per hit, which is quite nice. That's Rithlum, and then you just try to kind of shark around and deny resources. Now the best counter to Minid Arms is going to be archers because of the range. Does that mean I should deny gold or wood when it comes to trying to deny the counter to Minid Arms? And how do I transition after I get some horsemen, seems like a logical follow up considering big counter archers. You can also set up potential horsemen follow up. It's just way to see if he overextends. Would you like to play one-on-one after your match yeah we can go now storm let's go go go go go block their path with scouts men in arms rush usually means that you got to build three militia in dark age fries you want to build them way faster there's no reason to wait until tier two then you upgrade them as soon as you reach feudal because they get countered hard by archers as Malay you get free armor. Oh I get free armor of course! Ah! Most common is archers, even skirmishers. Aha! How hard is it, how hard is it in multiplayer? You mean how hard is it to play AoE 2 in multiplayer? I'm guessing that the MMR goes really low after you lose your initial games to the point where you meet absolute shit here down in 300 MMR. So like yes it's hard because it's a seasoned player base and you're starting at an MMR that for an older game is always going to feel difficult as a beginner unless you have prior experience like I have in other RTS games at a good level. But after losing X amount of games, I don't know how many that is in a Wii 2, you will find people of your level too. Have you tried to rush Castle Age yet in under 20 minutes? Don't I do that already on on the arena every game or not what's my castle age timing yeah i've i've i've been around there i think you want to go discord just go we could just go let's just go you can invite me no talk just play I play 8 hours of AoE 2 a day. I feel like it's not enough. I need more games per minute. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Pending invitations. Alright, didn't know it came in from Gujiraid, there's always time challenges you can do as well to improve. Yeah, that's fun. Okay, let's focus. I'm playing against Stormstormer, he was 1400 MMR. He hasn't played in a bit. We're gonna play one on one from time to time to keep each other sharp for the show match as well. We're teammates in the show match. I'm playing Hindustanis now, which have camels. He's playing as Franks. He says he only plays one build, which is Franks and Night Rush. So I kind of counterpicked with the Hindustanis and the camels. Camel riders attack faster, gunpowder, gulam. Right, and villagers are cheaper. Yeah, okay, cool. Yeah, I'm 1200 and Amari's 1400, but I've been playing more recently so I've got the recency buff. Man, I like the vibe of this Sif. I like it when they go ahhhhhhhhh checking the back of my base I'm gonna have to wall I have to see how much I need to wall to protect the back of my base. Let's see, good to know, good to know. May play one or two games with Stormstormer. Start things off with. If I lose, one more, if I win, it's over. Where's the other boar? Could be here. here now it's too close other bore and more sheep and it's so far away too Let's see, uh, how are we opening? 50 scouts. And I don't need gold at all. Scouts are opening potentially. I've seen all the terrain so I know how to wall. Kind of. Walls will be needed. He likes doing castle rush. Castle rush into knights. Anything I can do to slow that down will be a nice plus. I don't have to wall yet to be honest. That's on him. To first get to castle. Well, this is not that useful though. It's a nice initial. type join to join a giveaway for grubby mug you'll get three minutes I'm without the exclamation mark There he is. Upgrades. He's getting gold already. How much did he get? A bunch. He's getting gold already. How much did he get? A bunch. Where is she going? I Someone just purchased Blacklunck, her pillow and merch. Oh GG. Nice. One more. GG. Nice. Come on. I'm going to kill him. GG. Nice. Look, I can do it. Come on. Let's go. GG! Nice! GG! Nice! GG! GG! nice. GG! Nice! GG! GG! GG! Nice. Well played, really. Thank you. Wants to rematch. He, uh, he did a nice triple TC attempt to recover, hoping that maybe I also have full all-in, but I also had 3 TC behind it. I blind countered him, which he could say is not fair because he said he always goes nice and sure enough he did. But on the other hand, in games like this, if you only have one build, then that should be countered, right? I knew he would own me. Yeah, but I have the information advantage. I'm counterpicking Siv, Storm Stormer. I'm counterpicking Siv's Camel Rider to attack Foster. Villagers are cheaper, so... Yeah, you're gonna have to practice too and be like, let's say, if I said, I'm going Hindustani, and I'm only going Camels, if I said that. Then, and you played as much as I did, you would own. You both just need to random? I don't mind, but like, I think he's hard coded to go Frank's. Try the same with Mayans. Okay, I'll change Mayans. I don't play Mayans. I'll play Malay. I'm new to Malay. Okay, he's going random. He agreed. Alright, fuck it. Okay, random. Go, go, go. You're too new to random? It's okay, I'll figure it out. It's only fair. Uh, it will pick one of your start. Oh. Then, uh, I should, uh, un-star them. Ready? Rats to the winner! You miss Chinese? Yeah, I'm sure it's not going to give me Chinese. Persians! I like the music. Town centers have bonus health, start with bonus resources. First time purgeants. Town centers have bonus HP, work rate is fast so you start with bonus food and wood. Unique elephants, war elephants. Bar, Paladin replacement, okay, that's really expensive knight, Archer's trash, Arbalest trash, no, Crossbow trash. I remember, I checked them yesterday, they don't upgrade to Arbalestik. So Crossbow trash, upgrade, Castles, Fire, Bullets, and Knights of Funnish. So Recavary and Crossbow trash. Simple enough. Let's finish this house, feeling I'm not sure if you can see it. Grats, grats. Oh, I was hoping we're gonna find the boar. Alright, I'll just go lumber camp. Oh, saavush! Submessage. there's the borax we already found it I don't know how to do guys this is my first time playing versions I know you're probably just joking someone in chat in matters of the douche I never joke I guess there's mathematical proof for it, I would imagine there is. I'm sure a spirit of the law would have practiced and tested whether you should build one slot away. There's probably a short term and a long term aspect to it as well. I'll just open the same with the stables again. I like Scout Rush. This is a rabbit game, which I can nail for or long distance mine. I'll do a two food long distance mine, don't want to go too crazy with it. This time I can expect the pike response, so I can actually get archers a little bit earlier. I will put one on gold no more than one we'll get two more villagers in the dark ages Okay, fiddling. I'll do two farms. Shouldn't have built a farm on my mill, it's too risky, but okay. have too much on food. I need to get my barracks out ASAP. It's almost too late already. Found him. That's a barracks as well. It's a little faster than mine as well. Noteworthy. We see farm so we know where his town center is. Still kind of have too much on food. Are they open Jamfone? Are they open Jamfone? What? We'll build up a small tank here. You can power build this table a little bit You killed That's that strong, huh? Oh, I don't have loom. That's why he probably saw that. Oh, that's horrible This is gonna get loom deserves to punish That is very interesting. I feel like he immediately noticed that. I Oh I like how our games are getting more and more aggressive. I Though I'm not getting the better end of it. or should they loom this day? It turns out I don't fully understand walls. Oh my god, no. Oh my god. That's not good for me, oh my god. I come on what are you doing? I I don't know where they're gonna what the fuck miss rallies I'm not deliberately tower cheesy and it's miss rallies Yeah, GG. Groovy is such a triarty, plays like a 1500, just demolishes his friend. Hey, friendship is magic. No, I got better because I was watching Hera today, I think. And some other 2400, 2200 MMR dudes. Though much leaves to be desired and I clearly don't understand what constitutes a wall. Apparently Barrick's table are not a wall. What the fuck? They kept squeezing through. Oh. But eventually we got it done. Let's see. Stormstormer had two town centers. Yeah, yeah. But he took a lot of damage from bushes. The towers were probably very annoying to his opening. Stormstormer wants to rematch. Okay, there's one tower gap between. Oh really? Ah, use a palisade to scan for gaps. Okay, because they're placed on a hill. Elevation problem. Barracks stay on our walls, terrain hides is the issue. You mean there's a visual discrepancy, like they look like they're touching but because of the hill they're not very common thing select village select a villager or other units and move command beyond the world to see if it's without holes right Is this definitive edition 2019 is playing? Yes. You can use Palisade Scan, okay? Unranked rematch. Are we playing ranked by the way? Is this ranked? Can you play ranked against someone? You can, right? Record game. Is this ranked? Oh, this is unranked. Yeah, yeah, yeah, why would we play ranked? Top left. Yeah, I see it. Thank you storm Yeah, why would I give up my MMRs for free to you No, imagine the cheating boosting that could happen. Yeah, oh, I'm the Britons and he's Hindustan is Nice music what I can actually understand my peeps Oh, the music. Oh, right? Yeah. Keterer. Shepherds work faster. Shepherds work faster, okay. Shepherds work faster, so sheep. Archers have bonus range, town centers cast less wood, all right. Archers less wood again. And shepherds is only on sheep, so or geese. So, I'm having a temporary buff right now. Manda Hunter. Manda Hunter. I don't want to do all the deer, it's too strenuous. And what else? Longbowman, unique unit. Yeoman, archer, skirmishers range, but it's a tech. Get the board. No. I'm still on a board. Mandatum, Iquillen. Iquillen, you see that's for day. One more wood. Warwolf, Trugashay, Accuracy and Blast radius, Archer remains. Okay, so it's mostly just Archer and Longbowmen. And when do I get my unique tech? Yo man, that must be... I think that kind of thing is always in the castle. correct us correct us you guys saw the board here I'm not sure what to do with this. Gatherer, Greaten, Equilent. Mondatum, Greaten, Yes! Equilent, Mondatum, Mondatum. Ready, Hunter. Yay! Mondatum, Yay Hunter. Gatherer, Ready. Greaten, Gatherer, Ready. Gatherer, Greaten, Equilent. Hunter, Mondatum, Hunter. Greaten, Steals, Chopper. That was messy. Let's get Loom. That was messy and bad. Yeah Holden chopper Yo, thank you for this up, I'll asleep, and D-Rainworld. Oh, mess. My bad. That's a lot of horsemen. Stonestormers come to play. How can he afford all this? There's no way he's aging up there. I lost so many veils. Micro is a big weak point for me. You'll see! Hold him! Hold him! Hold him! Hold him! That's okay. Ready? Yes! Yes! Hold him! Chop them! That's a tough one! He's still age 2, that was definitely not with that cost, but I lost way more villagers so he should be ahead. Normally speaking. I do have many farms. Whoa! No blacksmith. well not finished right side yeah but at least he couldn't pass you know I'm starting villagers inside so my town's in it. Oh, he got there faster. firm ready golden golden golden golden we can feel the rays of golden mind awesome ready shopper bitch yay yay yay yes Mandaatul, Mandaatul and Uldan, ready for me. Mandaatul, ready for me. Wait, Uldan. Wait, Mandaatul. Wait, Uldan. Wait, Astora, ready. Mandaatul. What? Ready, correct. Ole then. Yeet, Ole then. Wait, there's Dora. Come on, Dora.

That's okay. That's okay. That's okay. Okay It's easy. Cool game. Yeah, I mean, I didn't have money for chemistry, bracer, etc. He also had more veils and then he was in my base. Nice game. That was a lot better by Storm. You could tell how competitive he is. He improved a lot at micro in the game 3 and pressure and he's like okay you gotta do like this heavy futile here's my scout never ending GG GG Storm Starver. Yeah those are fun, Buzzing. It's really interesting when you have a bunch of Palisade walls and you're being attacked everywhere to try and stay on top of it and build like houses behind it and what not. It's very fun, it's exhilarating. I really enjoyed that game. Yeah I think I enjoyed the Lost the most. Cool! Let's hit the ladder again. GG Storm. 2-1 this time. Britons only need Fible Sheep. I see. I had 17 idle bills at some point while I'm taking you to this. Britain Arts is fun. Dude, the Longbowman looks good. Britain seems cool. Let's restart everything again that we had start. Hindustanis, Malay, Poles and Byzantines are the ones we played so far. And now we're playing Malay. I think there was one more that I played. Chinese. Played a bit of Chinese didn't I? Alright. Kirby, I thought you would win last game? He macroed well behind it, better than the people that we face on ladder. 100% should have made the monk stare great against Camel and Angus with redemption. I don't even know their range and shit. Like from how far can they convert, how long does it take for what unit, it. What are the rules of conversion? Are you allowed to or should you even attack the same unit that you're trying to convert to where you kill it? Or is damage dealt by allied units going to make the conversion happen faster? I don't know any of those. Monks of 9 range, okay? That's pretty good probably. How do you choose to sit for the day? Oh, it's just vibes. It's just vibes. Enjoy it. It's weird that your micro is so incredible in Warcraft 3 and here somehow not so much. Yeah, my micro is garbage here. And that's because micro is based on both the agility of the body as well as the knowledge of the mind. I always try to liken it like this, like when people are asking how do I raise my APM, which is a question I often got as a coach. I'll be like, Oh, you want to raise your APMs. Yeah, I'm really slow. I'm like, Oh, right, clap your hands. Clap it fast. That's your APM. Now, right down on this whiteboard, what is 369 times 17? Do it as fast as you can. It's like, okay, the speed is not of the body, it's the speed of the mind. So micro is based on knowledge. Which exact key should I press at which time, and how many times have I done that in the past? That's how the mind muscle develops. develops, but it starts with knowledge, which unit should be attacking whom. And not just the on paper knowledge where it's like archers should attack pikes, pikes should attack horsemen. That's not always true. If there's a horseman over here and there's a pike here, and there's an archer here then the pike will attack the archer because he's nearer. He's not going to run through 100 archers to get to the horsemen. So this is how there are like layers and layers of pattern recognition where the thing you know you should do the right thing to do gets adjusted by many different micro situations such as where are they what is the distance how long does it take me to get there and then is it still true or is there now a different reprioritization and then there's like which hotkeys should I use formation one two three four stop hold agro defensive stance right click a move patrol move and to do all of them at the right time all the time and then is control grouping? Do I put everything in one group? Two groups? Three groups? Would you know what you can't do in A3A2? You can't do 1A2A3A. 1A2A3A. You can't do it that fast. I don't know why. Maybe the ping, the lag, the engine. But 1A2A3A doesn't work. I tried it. There's too much lag and it doesn't register. So the only thing you can do is one right click, two right click, three right click. But that's force move, so now they're not going to engage anything that they meet. In worker 3 you can give commands in advance that will make things happen kind of okay and then you start making adjustments. But here you need to be there at the moment that something new is happening where you need to respond to it. So for instance if I want to quickly move around three control groups of units from place A to B, I'm like one, right click, two, right click, three, right click, which is force move and doesn't re-engage in combat if someone attacks you, but in the moment they're in combat I need to respond, right? Whereas in Warcraft 3 I can 1A2A3A and I can do it very very fast and then if they meet an army they'll attack badly, poorly, they'll micro stupidly, but at least they're fighting, right? And then I adjust. So there's like a discrepancy between the effect that units have by themselves without management here in Warcraft 3 and here in AOE 2. Use Patrol. So I haven't used Patrol on any of my games yet. In any of the last 50 to 60 games. When you do a move, there's a big delay in when the unit will respond. Does Command Like exist in AW4 as well? No, it's very fast. I use Patrol exclusively. Yeah, I don't. So if Aoe2 was a new game, Grubby would reject it as unresponsive. Yes. Yes. I would say it's not worth investing in, the devs need to improve it. And in fact, that was my mindset on Aoe2 before as well. Old game, broken on the engine level, unresponsive, why would I invest? The only reason I'm doing it is because a lot of cool people are playing Aoe2 and that's why we got this competition. And that's why I got past the this game is broken mindset into the I'm gonna play it. Anyway, smiley face mindset And now I'm hooked to the game, but the mic are still hard In a we to right now if you use stand ground and patrol your melee units bunch up to get a very close thing can find super efficiently. Hmm. Step. This map is new to me. Do you dare leave the safe shelter of the trees to hunt the graceful deer roaming the open ground? I'm against Burmese. Treaty length 5. I don't have a town center. What the fuck? You can't just put a player on the new map and don't explain what is going on build the TC yeah no what the fuck your resources it's too late already three I have no idea it's like here new map pool and and there's will you will you leave the safety of your base what do you mean what base will you leave the safety of your base I I don't even have a base and I got some buildings, I don't even know what they are. This is the map description. Will you leave the safety of your base? Will you leave the safe shelter of the trees? To hunt the graceful deer roaming the open ground. You don't think this description should say caution on this map, you don't start with the town center. I was wondering what the foot icon was on the map. It has shoes on the mini-map. Ohhhh! It has shoes on the mini-map! Well I guess I should have been doing it, then I started without a town center! Of course! Yeah, it has shoes! No, makes sense! You'll start with 17 villagers, 5 houses, 2 barracks and no town center. trebuchet each and if your trebuchet hits the other trebuchet then it'll spawn a relic in your monastery. Good luck dodging and meanwhile do your base. Yeah just add it to the map it's ready and you don't need to tell anyone. That's very clear, yes. Nomad can be all different. I'm joking guys it's probably a very fun map but it kind of took me by surprise. Let's study it first. Nomad can be all different spawns, specifically just three villagers in random spots. I would play that, yeah of course. You've just told Herobot Map to pick for the 7v1. Makes sense, you don't know how you didn't know. Game mode nomad. Yeah. No, but this is very friendly for new players. They should just know. If you're a new player in a game from 1999, it's kind of your own fault. You shouldn't be playing these games without a wiki open on the second page. Average Terraria fan. Average factorial fan. If you haven't consumed at least 6 minute guides on Terraria you really shouldn't be playing it. You're making the game look bad by playing it. Okay, let's see, step. So you start with three yogurts. Are these like the girls? But do Malays even make yogurts? Are these drop-off locations? I'm so happy. I'm so happy. They're 15 population houses. They're nomad houses, okay? Groovy the type of guy to need giant exclamation marks in the UI to find a quest. Yes, that's normal. Wait, I cannot drop off. Just houses. You two see the wood line first and the wood line is not visible from the start. Just two see the wood line. Is one tree enough? I don't even start with a scout. You see the horse? Wait, is this my scout? Just start with the horse! Hey, we should have some Warcraft 3 maps like this. Wait, what is this square thing? Oh? A ride of the horse god, yeah. That's the treaty. So I cannot be attacked inside this square? or what to prevent someone else building their TC in there so I don't think there's any benefit to starting to harvest the sheep by the way, does every villager add the same percentage of cost reduction on the town center? or is it diminishing returns like in WC3? Every next villager is diminishing. So the first villager gives the most effect. I have a horse without a rider. How am I even controlling where it goes? it's an animal three times villagers two times speed first village accounts is three villagers every other bills the same well that's not true based on the other set okay It won't need it until it's here, okay? Sounds good. Man, can I thumb this map down? This is so much extra learning suddenly. Wait, does the horse threaten animals? No! Makes sense! human scary tap your hoops twice if the opponent is in the door Okay, this is confusing. Grubby Go Mega Random Now Blizzard RTS Player Counts Handle. Yes, we don't do well with adaptation. The most adaptation I have to do in the Blizzard map is a randomly generated Diablo go to Matt. What are the other maps? Arabia, arena, fortified clearing. Your forward defenses are strong but your rear is vulnerable to raids. Secure the central area for a quick counter attack or outmaneuver your enemies with a flanking maneuver. Just so there's There's two uniquely new maps, 40 points clearing. So it's like Arena Light, half Arena and half the other map which, what was it called? round this map that I was playing. It was just rounded map. Shruplands. Yeah, it's half Shruplands, half arena or something. Chiefs, Marco, Anter, Polo... Yeah, my two turn on. There was a hyper random tournament where they increased the random, missed the mega random. Whoa! What the hell? Let's see. A little box with all the resources. A relic. Sparse wood. Extra gold. Lots of trees. And then absolute wealth in the... Oh no, those are not stones. Those are rocks. extra gold and stone outside two and two for him three relics and yurt see what's this for can i capture this wait there's so many relics on this map holy wait how many relics fit in a single thing 8, 9 relics. 10. 10 relics fit inside. In a single temple. On this map it's one point you should wall the sides. And then you can go for like a, what's this? A stone, one stone wall partition why maybe this is to let you know where the border of the of the forest is so you can go for like a wall here where you will involve the the berries protect only the gold gold and the berries and the stone you could wall on their side you could wall an enemy in to give extra warning this This reminds me of Black Forest in aoe4, where you could like, oh by the way, you can just go cheese through the middle too and put something over their stone wall. Dude, this is a cheeky map. Wall one side is common. Yeah. Javalina. This seems like a cool map. Yeah, lots of possibilities. A lot of open space. And if you break their wall, suddenly you're in the thick of things, deep in their base. This would be a good keep location. Obviously this would be a good keep location. There are some small hillocks, nobody cares about the deer in the corner. This guy cares he died to deer. More deer here. See deer. Beep-a-dee-oh! Castle on the high ground is OP here, girl. Do hills have any effect on unit range? I don't know if it gives more range. It gives more vision, more damage, and less damage taken. It's actually quite OP, but I think not on range. Oh, it gives accuracy too. Is there any points of feudal aggression on this map? If you're Cumans, then you can make rams in Feudal Age. But using rams to break through stone wall partitions is definitely slower than doing it on the regular where someone has to invest a lot. And it's too far to go around. So it is possible but likely not that good. Some people proxy barracks on the far side. Some people are proxy zealots abusers too. You can send one build-build rangers in their base, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Two racks Reaper Rush, hi, I'm Uthermal, and let's see if I can beat the Grandmasters with Approximately Reaper Rush. Okay, I have no idea how I'm gonna play that steps map. Remind myself of what Malay does, advancing through ages is faster, infantry armor upgrades are free so we could go with a militia-man-at-arms. Ooh, we could proxy a barracks. Maybe we'll proxy a barracks. He he he. Battle Elephants cost less. Infantry armor upgrades free, advance faster. Yeah! Carambit Warrior, cheap infantry. and swordsman can become trash Malaya I think you'll like it steamrolls him okay oh oh no oh my god step again with the special opening where you're a nomad oh I'm gonna be so bad at this first time I ever play a kind of map like this ever including a we4 you favorited it? No! Did I? No! Yikes! I'm against Sicilians. I don't know what it means. Okay, I favorited it. I have to find a wood line. The wood is outside? Okay, I didn't know that. I understand why they only give you a horse what he finished already I still have a goose, his goose is getting cooked. Did he even place next to Wood? He didn't. got these moof lawns here lots of deer I'm going to scout around my base. I still have enough. It's a wood line. It really is a wood line. It's definitely not a wood wall. It's a line that's pointing away from me. I think I'll be able to get there. I gave her red. See ya. I'll be coming for you. See ya. Oh my god even deer can this can be missed on I mean Yeah, yeah. Soste. I'll come back when I'm done. See ya. I'll come back when I'm done. I'll come back when I'm done. Oh, new mechanic. get make how many of these as many as a stone for I guess they're like his tower Okay got loom so i have to get it now need you know you need me ? yeah ? yeah ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? fuckers maybe my unit bomb ball has some issues mass, small unit and then manganals he's a good man You're fast. Oh Good armor upgrades against piercing I Think Shhh! Shhh! Shhh! Shhh! Shhh! Shhh! Elite Carambit Warrior. Any gold here? Oh they went inside themselves. Because I clicked on the key. but he sold a lot for gold oh and didn't have ballistic surge engineers assortment of only food now, perfect I want Karambit Warrior, come on. Do I get Bomberts? I do, but I don't have gunpowder here. Two-handed swordsman. Charge! I have everything. They have a little armor. Can they kill Force? Two-handed swordsman? They can kill towers pretty good! What about this? He got Imperial, he's ready! Yes, I've seen that. Yep, they can kill Tansanus too. And it's a trash here, I like this sif. Akumai, Akumai, Akumai. I get akumbai caribamid warriors. Here's something to represent the stop, oh good man, just a move. I don't have to do anything anymore, GG look at the torch stack in the barrack, ah arson I never go arson. I was a kid get some crossbows to Oh yeah, my Trevor says right here at LeMau. Wait, he's not giving up yet. Well, he's big actually, holy shit! Arsene is nice. Can you kill castles? No, I mean with enough effort yes. Arson plus 2 damage on buildings. this guy is like Blanche Knicht, the two-handed swordsman, they're so cool Angadzatankar ah, they have all the DLCs? yes actually, I didn't have it, but anyway, reached out and uh... Gave me a DLC code. Full disclosure, I am sponsored with one DLC code now. It deserves some playtime. I'm no longer biased. Sold out at the first opportunity of a free DLC. GG. Nice of me to do that. It was... not really. It's the same person that got me AOE 4 access. I don't know if they want to be... I guess they don't need to be... Prevet, their name is escaping me right now. Something with the A. I'm looking through my DM's book. I can't have been that long ago. Anyway, it doesn't matter. For you guys, anyway. For me, it matters. I don't know where that message came from, maybe it wasn't Discord. Yeah, it was a Nubarak, a Nubarak. Oh, Mr. Popular with all his DMs! 145, 136 villagers. Woah, he actually had more villagers than I did. Hey, thank you so much, Dendi56 for the sub and Oscar van Ossee. German supporters, Liebendein Deutsch. Vielen Dank, Oscar. Ich habe hoffnungen bis noch hier um mich zu hören. Is that the reason though, John John Ralph? Or is that just your opinion? The first Nomad match is a victory. Well the first Nomad match I stared in shock and I instigate after 30 seconds of not building anything because I couldn't believe. I couldn't believe what they would do to us. The second Nomad game we won. And because there's no scouts, there's no scout just a horse. The villagers cannot even be harassed by a scout. Though Dark Age scout doesn't really win anyway. Yeah, pretty cool, pretty cool on the Malaysians, the Malay faction. The automatic armor upgrade makes Minotaur so nice. And the other unit that I'm making from the castle, that one from the castle that one is quite cute too it's very spammable and by the way castle produces things so fast like the unique unit always produce giga fast I guess that's to compensate for the fact that it is a castle that's required to build the unit so it's actually giga OP to have like if your unique unit is good you can crank out a lot which makes sense why why he's a half food unit of course which is why it's that fast. I'm sure the Hussite wagon is not so fast. Are we doing one faction per day until we played them all? That's kind of the idea, Gris. I realized it's been 11 years of following Grubby, so it's been haha of following me. I am AoE 2 tauntbrained now. Love this content, hope to see you play more AoE. Hey, thank you, beekeeper. I very probably will. Canobits are also super fast producing general on top of the regular castle build speed buff. Makes sense. Did you discover the Meganale play watching Harry this morning? That was a pretty good showcase of a new skill. I learned attack ground play from Viper and I learned it in 2002 from Warcraft 3 in fact. I'm doing attack ground to predict rockets. But also I seen a game on Arena where Hera was playing bomb birds, not manganals, but bomb birds against some kind of different trebuchet. He was playing against a faction that had a different looking trebuchet and they were trying to shoot each other. For reference Grubby, a longbow man is 18 second built, a Karambit is 6. Right, and you might expect 18-9, but to get on with this extra fast. Traction Trebuchets. Yeah, I think Traction Trebuchets are an AOE-4. They came out earlier as well, if I'm not mistaken. I believe it was the Mongols that can make Traction Trebuchets, but it could be mistaken. Traction Trebuchets, disgusting, comes out of H3, right? They had a little bit less range though, if I recall correctly. Yep, I'm trying, Elspoon. I don't have to stick to one sith per day, by the way, because there's a couple of downsides as well. One is how long it'll take to play them all. And two, if like are there any AoE2 people that only want to see one SIF and then when I don't play, when I don't say this is the SIF for the day, then anyone could believe that I might play their favorite SIF soon. Even though it's probably not going to happen, it could be Aztecs, it Could be Japanese. Could be... Or does it not matter? Aoe2 doesn't have a main thing. Some people may prefer something, but it's a game about many sys. Play whatever. Probably get to learn and keep on saving the day. We don't mind. It's fine, doesn't matter. Yeah, R many OTP. Yeah, yeah, sure. I slowly devolved into a Chinese OTP in AOE 4. Initially I played Abassad, Chinese, Holy Roman Empire, Delhi, English, the only two that I didn't touch were French and Mongols because they were the two best sips by far. So I didn't play them because it feels lame to play them since they're so easy to begin with and I saw such lack of skill from the people that played it but they win anyway because herder open nights or herder I tower rushed you or I put a town center in your towns I played roost as well but roost were very laborious with needing to fight over all the deer all the time you were like so stressed the first five minutes at the game trying to kill all the animals We should practice some 7v7 Stormstormer rather. Do you know player streamer named Survivalist? No. Probably the Aoe2 community hates Aoe4, you need to know that. I know it and I understand it partially, but I'm not going to change who I am for it or what I talk about. If there are some people that are triggered every time I mention the name of my friend in Rome with the name Biggest A.W. Forest, then I'm still going to do that because that is what the experience that I'm building on, and it's authentic to me. I find the whole like, oh, but A.W. bad though I find it so boring. I'm not trying to take away your opinion but it doesn't stimulate discussion. I used to be like, oh League of Legends bad right? Am I right guys? Because hot's great. Now I think all three mobas are great and every time I play any of the three mobas someone's like, but why don't you play the other one though? Well because I'm not a Hydra with three heads and six arms. That's the only reason why. If I had two heads and four arms I would play them all three. I would play two of them at least. People who ate a week for just allowed us I started with two and I love both. I will say after playing a week to for a while when I loaded up a week for it the perspective felt so weird because you have this more nor more skyward Skyward's perspective, less Skyward, more from the Sky perspective in AOE 4, it feels very disconcerting as an AOE 2 main. Both have their charm. By the way, I notice similar music flow in some of the theme songs of AOE 2 as in AOE 4. So, AE4 Music Composer, who I think did a fantastic job, will have done inspiration-based music making, where you play with it, where it's kind of like it, but it's also different. Like this, this part... In AE4 it has like a different... But it sounds very similar to the A.V.4 opening song this part. It's like the second season of Game of Thrones, actually no, Game of Thrones had the same theme song every season. But sometimes the Outlander for instance, anyone seen Outlander? That one has like a different theme song every time but it's the same song but it's somebody else that sang it. First time I heard Sinead O'Connor's version and I was like nope this is weird, this is over the top. After a couple of episodes, I was like, man, this version is great too. Well, it's the main theme, yeah. Cinead. Sasanach. Hey, we sound so top tier. Yeah, they are. I remember you took some coaching from Viper. Yep. Would you like to take more coaching or rather go by your own? I would like more coaching. In fact, my brain is very thirsty for more coaching right now. But I think it's better content if I learn by myself without coaching for my show match with Hera. For our show match with Hera. And then after that, if I'm still gonna pump AOE 2 after that, I'd be very down for coaching. But also I would want to set a new goal as well, either an MMR goal or another challenger. The step star is wrong. It's a mistake. Leave Q, leave Q. Who said we're friends? By the way, the podcast he took over the seat or what? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Damn! restart the game if this happens okay I understand the mega random band but it makes me sad I think I played mega random a couple of times in AOE 4 so I do understand the concept three spread out villagers insane amount of resources and giant map size I can play it soon. Do you use the enhanced graphic DLC? Yes Guys, his battle brother is done for now. Yep, my company died and I'll do another run another time probably. Make a random doesn't need to be no mad. Aha, no mad is 10% of the time. Okay. When was the show match? It looks like it might be February 24th. Are you a campaign enjoyer? No Stormstormer, I'm not. I think my favorite RTS campaigns were Spell Force 3 and Starcraft 1. And then Starcraft 1 for the story and Starcraft 2 gameplay was really good and Spell Force had a nice vibe as well, Spell Force 3. Of course I enjoyed Warcraft 2 but replaying it is not that good and the Warcraft 3 campaign as beloved as it is by many doesn't really do it for me either. I prefer usually to play a single player skirmish with AI than to actually delve into a campaign. I was very close to finishing Brutewar's campaign, but yes. I mean I finished it like 3-4 or 5 times off stream, but I mean I recently played it. Can you unlock a certain level of skill in multiplayer? Campaign loses its luster. IMO anyway may not be true for everyone. I would super appreciate someone's breakdown on the SIF that I'm playing against and a a very small summary of their capabilities. Insane infantry, fast spam, goths is smart. So archers there? you're seeing resistance in infantry then wall and pray pray to your god elephants heavy scorpions, don't go archers, whose spells hit them? best ganners early crossbow that is archer or am I wrong? hey, no berries on this map That's crazy, they just do maps without berries. What does it think? It would be crazy if they did it. And that's Broskintel by the trajectory of the scouts, whether it's going to hit or miss and then don't even waste resources like this I don't know, it's the bolt working. I think we won more than lost but we mostly played with Stormstormer right? 2-1 against Stormstormer, 1-0 in ladder, yeah so 3-1 and Stormstormer wins are worth more kkk what's that sound I'm making? what's that sound I'm making? what's that sound? Let's get Lume. I've had too much damage today from not having Lume. Brain damage. Where are you going? I learned today from Roxy, who I believe if I'm not mistaken is going to be awkward if it's not true, that any economy building, like Harris-Wife I believe, if any economy building you can drop off resources that do not belong to it which is also true in we for and I didn't know it's true here two three two two two two two two two Oh, I need houses. UGH! Shit! Bad! Terrible! Horrible! Shit, I didn't know that was going to happen. Shit, I didn't know that was going to happen. Shit, I didn't make any farms. Surely that's not going to come back to bite me. I have no food. Oh shit, I have berries. I forgot about berries. GG I I Small mistakes, small mistakes. Can you hit a friend? When you aim for someone else you guys knew what I meant God, I had so many build order mistakes this game, interesting. You guys instantly knew what I meant. Wow, what a messy game. But we're not dead, yay! And surely it's not gonna cancel anytime soon. So this is how to cancel walls. That's so slow. He is going to be castle age soon I would imagine. i think in one minute faster than i i think i have to play this defensive it's the biggest wall i've ever seen from grovey, yeah i've been heard it's broski same units and skirmishry It's pretty much what they're saying. Bye bye. They sound so cute! I'm afraid to move out without such grace. I'm not exaggerating it. I'll see you in a minute. What's going on? The rocket man. I changed my mind, okay? Not exaggerated. We'll do this one first. Hup, hup! They're all close to the woods. Elephants! Okay, let's make elephants. Elephants is a mounted unit, I guess. One, yes. I'll just make a scout for some scouting. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, it's that mounted movement speed. Do you like that? Oh my god, they're getting trashed by elephants! LMAO? what the fuck this girl insane giga jats you need militia line units for real? the sound stroll no no we're not gonna do that he's right holy shit He must be taking 1 damage or something, this is ridiculous. Crossroads and elephants helped align for a bit. What do you guys think? With his temporary absence. Dude, I still need forging. Oh, I don't have imperial tooth. I mean, not imperial, obviously, but something else. Stone, stone, stone. Can they garrison too? Crossbows? Yes? Okay I don't know how. It's overdue to go, uh, it's actually overdue to go. There we go. He thinks the same. There we go! It's not that hard to start Imperial, I just did it. You can do it too. It was pretty hard, actually. Where's the mail bro? Yoink? I have arson. No? Do I have arson? Oh god, I didn't have mystics yet, holy shit. Do I have arson? Yeah I do. Istanbul is dying super fast We won guys, GG. Get tipped on the scout line, I mean the Medetarms line, the Militia line, that was great. Nice hold of the early attack, couldn't have won this one without you guys because I literally you wouldn't know what I'm up against do we have force levy? oh no we don't there we go I'm got a chanjaka This is one damage I hit, yesss, but it's still kind of enough. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. I'm scared. Keeps everywhere, keep for you and it keeps for me, hehe. There's no way to kill his cape. Use 70 monk upgrades. Buildings, heal, garrison. What do you mean, faster? Buildings, heal, garrison units, guys? This is how I'd learn? Monks can convert enemy Monk redemption. That's funny, I didn't know that. Why is he still in the game? I'm producing uh, Karambit. Holy shat. No burning oil in this game, huh? For keeps? Or do some keeps have it? Get three canister equips. I don't have siege engine. What do you want me to do? Spastate! If he didn't leave the game, I don't think four Bomberts is going to do it either, Brosti. Look at this. He could not be in a worse spot. It's over, Batman. I have to high-grant. More Karambites. Yes, sir. More carabytes, yes sir. I can't find it. I can't make them now, but I don't have the lumber. Let's see, what has he been shopping for? Oh wait, I don't have a market for now. Come on, bro. He must be... He must love this game. Hey! When you convert with three people, it's faster, but it puts all of them on pulldown. He's got 14 Cs in the southern for the war, for sure, for sure. GG! additive you just roll with three dice instead of one. Wait, roll? It requires individual micro. Yeah, like high tempers in stack of one. GG. You don't need siege engineers to make cannons. Yeah, but they get one range, right? I need chemistry to make cannons. Wow, he stayed until the end. A true pole. Nice game. So how does the RNG thing work? Yeah, yeah, I just got it, Swippy. GG. Hey! I don't know. What's up? The tower's castles get more damage per archer inside of them, by the way. I don't know how to put arches in, I don't have the hotkey. I'll get Adam. If you put Arch inside Castle, Watchtower, they hit way harder. What? Alt-Right click. Oh, TFU standard? I don't use standard. I use F. Or maybe it is standard and it's still T and F is Auto Garrison and T is Manual Garrison. Oh maybe it is still T. You got some good issues with Tartarus? Yeah, but I only do it with F. I have to find out how else to do it. Let me see. This menu scares me. It's a little convoluted game group cycle scroll. Oh my god! Rotate gate clockwise. Rotate... I thought you just had to wait. I thought you just had to wait till it turned by itself. Oh, that is nice. Just use mouse wheel. I am going to be such a gate architect. That's nice. He is now knowing of the happenstance of the gate maneuver. Yep. Drop Relic! Q! What about Repair E? Oh man, E. Let's change that to R. Okay, now I know how to repair because I didn't know that either. Of course you can right click but sometimes you need this. So I only use seek shelter but not garrison it's t okay and g is unload no un garrison g ah that feels that feels like opposite world the fuck oh okay oh because But why would there be the same hotkey? You had it like this. It's criticizing me for something it was already doing. Wait, is it going to be fucked up now? You can alt-right click with units on a building and automatically garrison without extra hardkeys. You can put garrison on garrison on the same hardkey, okay? Let's try that then. repairable got a reinstall game oh I like that oh okay so now I can do a special cool new maneuver say for instance I'm pulling this sheep I'm pulling this shit man and he goes here and I go inside and I kill it can I kill it no because it's a sheep not a horse but anyways they go back to where they were working when you F which means if they're on this sheep yeah that's cool Guys, do you ever see anyone do this? Like this, they're here, they're here, they're here. Yes, all the time. Pro student. Hera does it all the time. What a fucking tryhard. Tryhard sweat. I can do it too. I made this though. I just made this. How can he be doing it already? Maybe useful for box selection? Only villagers. Hold Alt when box selecting. Yeah, yeah, I've been doing that. It's amazing. With Shift it also selects Sheep or the Shift not doing anything. They play thousands of games. Yeah, some people have a life. This is so sick man! Oh my god. So right now if the rally on the town center is here and I do ff they go back to where they were working on but if I do g then they go where the rally is oh Oh my god, it's so good. Oh, it's so good Just have to change pants, the trick was too good. because it's new the beekeeper gamer girl bathwater master says yo this chair kind of sucks at the game wasn't too bad it was automatically going to new sheep amber casper with the first time chat are you like a popular streamer I'm a popular human being people in my street love me. Streaming is just one of the things I do. I throw the best barbecue parties. How do you keep doing that level of your micro at your age? First of all, fuck you. And secondly, I was just thinking the same thing when I was taking a leak. I was thinking, man, I'm almost 40 and I'm very excited about this new trick I learned in an RTS. Isn't That's awesome. Grubby, I want a child from you. I am not a pregnant capable person, so that's not going to work. Grubby, you can teleport your arches around as well, garrisoning at castle. It's super nice micro. Ah, nice. Nice. You don't look a day over 60. Thank you, only plays Britain's. That's great. guys recently my solid state drive where my windows is installed. Only had like 10 gigabytes space left on the 512 gigabyte disk. So it was less than 3% space left. This is of course unideal. And so I went folder by folder to try and find where the big files are. And the way I do it, first I check folder, right click properties, and I look, and sometimes it takes some time to load the gigabytes. I have to wait till the gigabytes come in. Then I go next. Sometimes I do the macro approach. I do three to five folders at the same time and if it says 180 gigs, I'm like, okay, which one is the culprit? I speak about my troubles in my moderator chat And they say Vee Vee says, you know, there's actually an app for it. It's called winder stat And it takes like one minute and it catalogs your whole pc. I'm like, oh my god. That's amazing Let's use it. I use it. Sure enough one minute. I get this cool overview with like all these colored blobs and I click a big blob turns out I have a folder on my desktop which is in my C drive that's called USB drive to be sorted from PC high tower my old PC name from PC high tower to be sorted out number two I have two of those like USB copy paste drops from some other PC I was cleaning at. It was like 70 gigabytes of photos inside and videos and stuff. So took those away, put them on a data drive and we Gucci again. I got space. My entire old PC on my desktop. Well, it was GoPro videos that we like strapped to my dog and stuff from skiing. Videos and photos. Guys, I, first of all, I don't have any goon material anymore and secondly, if I did, it would be innocent and I don't. And the thirdly, like who still does that in this day and age? It's GoPro stuff. Login GoPro 3.1. Yeah. Okay, when I was 16, I had goon stuff, but it was like all normal vanilla stuff. Yeah, so SSD is a great open time when you have no space left. Yeah, I read that, that it's bad for them. I'm gonna take a small break to do some Warcraft 3 and then we're back to A.V.2. Commander 3. This is a series I absolutely had to watch right now, right now. It's Happy vs Lin. Everyone's been talking about this. Of course, these are the Rank 1 and Rank 2 Warcraft 3 players in the world right now. Recently, Lin overtook 42 to be in the top 2 of the elo rankings of the Warcraft 3 tournament team. He's back and he's come with a vengeance. Lin is the best orca of all time in Warcraft 3 and the longest playing, he started getting good like 2006 and he's still playing in 2026. So over 20 years he's been competing on and off with breaks, albeit One of the most accomplished players together with moon and sky and now happy as well Happy is probably the best player of the world in the last six years He does not go without losses Especially against the other world elite, but he is kind of almost a freak of nature giga talented very hard-working working, very intelligent, extremely fast, and the best at micro, the Warcraft 3 scene has ever seen. Sometimes he's boring to watch. Happy can be boring to watch because he just wins that much. It's sometimes people want to see something else. But when someone beats him, it is worthy of such amazing praise, and you're actually in awe. You just know that pretty much he doesn't underperform. He doesn't underperform almost ever, which means any victory against him is worth extra much. Lin very intelligent, aggressive, he reads his opponents, his micro and strategies are very good, he has a very good understanding of timings, that is to say how to uproot enemy timings, how to disrupt key powerspike moments for an opponent and knowing when his powerspike is. He's very flexible in his builds, more than happy and the games between the two two of them are almost always bangers. When the meta isn't something dumb like herder farcee or shadowmass vibrance. This is a best of five of the super league, I believe the super league or dolphin league, dolphin super league. And I hear it's a banger. So let's cast the game. Warcraft 3 the frozen throne reforged. Here we go. Farcee your first opening for Lyn. He's gonna open with creeping some pharaoh spirits into the turtle. Meanwhile he has a one burrow opening with which he can just crank out two head hunters with his second burrow coming as well. Happy is doing acolyte scout and starts with his opening camp nearby himself. We'll take the level 1.6 on the death night. It's a gauntlet. You'll note that he's sold his town portal scroll. This is very common at the high level play if you can if you open with the shop which of course Lynn did not this gives you 190 extra golds which were actually streamlined your bills it does mean you can't save your hero with a death knight to townport all the way but pros are so good that they should not want to need it so they just play as if they don't need it all right let's see who's gonna get the XP here Feral Spirit, nice attack there on the ghoul, Lyn gets a kill there on one of the ghouls. This Hydra always attacks things that are trying to run away that aren't fighting back. So Hapi actually puts the skeletons on the Hydra, puts his ghoul skeletons on the head hunters and will be trying to last hit the Hydra he gets it. There's a coil, last second coil to save the ghoul. The ghouls have been sicked upon the head hunters. Who came out of the head this little skirmish? Lin killed a ghoul. I don't think he lost any head on tears, but he did lose some health. That is nice. Did take a bunch of damage on his Farseers, and the Death Knight has pretty healthy mana and HP, so I would say overall that Happy kind of got out ahead in this change. Lin very interestingly, interestingly buys a circuit of nobility, and while this is an early 200 gold investment that gives bonus stats on Farseer, I can't help but wonder If part of the reason of flying circlet is because every pro is doing it these days, including Archmages, Hunter Kings and Happy with Death Knight as well. Happy was one of the first non-Orc players that it was circlet stacking on his death knight and he would then later give it to the Lich. Lich is one of the best auto attack heroes in the game and benefits greatly from circlet. He loves the mana, and he also loves the attack speed, armor, and HP that he gets from Circlis. Lynne here is desperately trying to force another coil. It was necessary, kind of, or the rule would have died. Coil heals 200, and he's under 200. So he forced another coil out of Happy, and that actually makes his head on his safer. Oh, that's too bad for Lynne. He got stuck a little bit. I will say that was probably the most likely outcome. surround by happy as well you can really rely on him to get those. So outside of denying the circlet and having it on himself on the farceer, and I don't think farceer uses circlet as well as DK into Lich, but outside of that I wonder is this item going to go to a blade master third? Is it going to be farceer shadow blade? We have been seeing some blades third recently against human, or is it going to be the more standard Torrent Shift and Third. Because Blade loves Circles, he needs stats. Ooh, Dark Ranger early. All this is painful. Happy can get a lot done with these kind of attacks. Black Arrow, that's a hex that will prevent the ideal timing coil on the head, Hunter. Knowing Happy is not going to want to give that up. Oh, he does. So she's going to hit the Shadow, and Lin is going to give him the little run around. Meanwhile, Wolves are threatening Acolytes, but they won't get a kill. Okay, so nice save by Lin. He did not lose any headhunters. I don't love his position though. I don't really see where this is going. He's got a B-Street that he's not using. Tier 3 is coming. Thank you so much for this up. Opinus 94. It's a strange way of pronouncing what looks like a very innocent nickname. Sorry about that. And then we've got no production right now for Lin. So does it mean he's come a tiny great hole is he gonna hire a tavern hero no what is he saving for I don't get it and there it is windriders windrider production so it's a transition to air I can't help but feel like this comes out really late now what's good about windriders their air unit that cannot be hit by ghouls additionally they cannot be turned into skeletons by the duck ranger but that can't be the only reasoning for why he went for it Windriders is a pretty common build, right now at the pro scene for Orc against Undead. It kind of prevents the ghoul frenzy timing from having a chance to get the kill on your headhunters and whatnot because you've got this air army. I think there was a way where you get the kill on the DK there, if you do like Feral Spirit Block, but it was risky and Linn didn't have the time portal to work with anymore. so yeah he burnt that chain lighting and it just went back. I don't really see where this game plan is going for Lin, like yes he's gonna make a bunch of windriders but I feel like it came out late in order to be able to have a timing to even make use of that. As for happy, if I'm happy here I feel like I'm in a flimsy position as well because the DK took so much damage it feels risky but he seems to be fearless. I'm just gonna go ahead and He creeps the Sasquatch, brings in the Statue, and if he's thinks, then half he does, you can see it every time it's yellow, blue, yellow, blue. He does double tap. You're supposed to only be able to have mana regen or health regen, but if you click both at the same time, you get both. So he's like constantly microing his Statue every one and a half seconds to get both the healing and the mana pulse. It's very micro intensive, but it is efficient, therefore it gets done. I have an HFmP2 player, I've been playing HFmP2 on my second channel at Grubby Plays, if you guys are interested in that as well. I have an HFmP2 player in chat asking why didn't they fastcastle? That is because they're not human players, like all the AoE2 saves, and only human gets to have a castle. Although, to be fair, if you go Dark Ranger with another Sif, you can do a Wall-A-Law and steal a peasant and then also make a castle. Though I don't think it'd be classified as a fast castle. It would be more like a manor castle. And in fact, there's a historical Warcraft 3 game where someone does steal a peasant in a pro game. It's called Blood Castle because of the bloody fate that the opponent had when his castle was stolen and his own hero were used against him. Oh nice, level 2 coil into Nova, kills the Shadowhunter, one Zercher gets ensnared and murdered as well. Now you don't have momentum, now you have 2 weak late game heroes in Farsier Shadow. And although you did some cool damage against the Acolytes, it cost you almost everything. You only killed one, maybe two? I wanna say two Acolytes died, but they're being rapidly remade and that does cost some gold. I'm happy he's able to keep creeping undisturbed because he got that snipe, he got that creep jack And now where can lingo he's taking the smallest camps on the map This is like being gluten intolerant and Needing to eat pizza with gluten and in fact not even the whole pizza But you only get to eat the pizza crust that your girlfriend didn't like and they were left on a plate in the drain Not wet yet, but looking very discarded and there's no more toppings. No pepperoni nothing And that's what you're eating. That's what he's doing here because he got owned by coming back late from work And now there's only pizza crust getting a little shit creep here, and now he doesn't even have time to finish this off And meanwhile his base is dying. I Know you guys know how it feels like except for the girlfriend part, maybe Tacking the peons here Several peons in the burrows Peons are trying to get inside the burrow and do some counter damage, but it's not enough Then trying to creep, just getting a little bit stronger but ultimately this must be a forlorn hope. There is no hope. Oh, slightly. Altar Renate, Shadow's still dead, so this is a two hero situation. Circuit's still in the farce here. I would much rather worry about his girlfriend being psycho. I made it up. First of all, I don't have a girlfriend. My wife wouldn't like it. Secondly, I'm not gluten intolerant and thirdly, she eats the pizza crust So yeah, I would worry too if she was a psycho for sure. Oh Nice pre-invulnerability potion stopping the war stop from having an effect destroyers with mana absolutely tearing apart this orc army Destroyers with mana do about double damage and it is also a splash damage I'm in again with the Chain Lightning, that was the Chain Lightning level 2, did inspect the wolves. Lin really seeming to... I know Lin doesn't believe that he can still win this, but this might be part of a... let's try to tire out and weaken my opponent to make the next game feel better. Thing is, that can work against you. The longer you are in the demoralizing losing state, the more power your opponent sometimes accrues from that and the more it exhausts you. So it really depends on your mental fortitude and theirs whether overstaying is useful or actually counterproductive. Obviously you cannot have your workers idle for that long and still be in a good state. Bam TC down and that's it that's game one. Happy takes the lead 1-0 GG. But doesn't your wife have a boyfriend? Why can't you have a girlfriend then? That's a good point and I tried to bring that up. But she doesn't seem to see it that way. Find a wife who appreciates your girlfriends, guys. It's worth it. Mmm, I see. I see. That's how to do it. Any tips on picking an appropriate girlfriend for the wife? to approve was that a ranked high-skill game? that was a tournament game with prize money it was the first map of the best of five we're going to watch the second map now I think my wife's girlfriend doesn't like me Oh, that's too bad. Oh, I need to download this map. You gotta work harder, man. I just have to download the map in the location of their request. Where did they say it should go? Honest question, do people in a relationship actually care about the distinction between girlfriend, wife, boyfriend, husband? Personally, I don't and neither does my wife. But every time I say like my girlfriend, because I'm speaking all the time before we got married or something, people are like, does your wife know? So for this reason, I try to stick to the facts. It's just easier that way, you know? Make sure the map file, F users... Let me just get it over there. Home drive on F? No, I just relocated my documents drive. because my C drive was getting full refer to the story I told a little bit earlier. Wait a minute I do have this folder already. I have this map already. W3 Champions save and replace let me try it again When will we get coaching on how to get a girlfriend? Gromy got his for playing video games. I don't know if he's a good source of information. Well the thing is, I got very lucky, but at the same time, how else would I get a girlfriend? What am I going to do? Let's say I'm a gamer and I've been playing games by myself for 15 years, right? And I like to play games, stay at home and play more games. Let's say I want to meet someone and I'm not meeting someone automatically. Am I gonna go to the library to pretend to like Shakespeare and meet some cute girls there? Am I gonna go to the sports club and try to pick up some gym rats? Am I gonna go to the bar and pretend I like crawling them from bar to bar? What you'll get even if you succeed is Someone that likes those things so they're gonna be doing those things and you'll have to do those things so Try to find someone in at your work or at your genuine passion Or if I online if that's all where you ever are and of course there's like the online problem or whatever, but Otherwise you're just gonna find someone you may not even match with I Hate my work I don't know I don't have I don't have work I feel like I already have this folder though I have this map. I don't know why it's not working I put the file right there. Or maybe I have to do it again when it's not asking for the map and try to overwrite it again. Is it not old replay from old patch? Nope. No, I just watched the other version. Overwrites, yes. Let's try again. Work have crashed by the way. I can only give you all the advice to stay away from work and relationships. At the end of the day, a lot of people get their relationship through work anyway. So it is, I don't think it's possible in this day and age to stay away from that completely. Completely now can it go horribly wrong very lightly, but the fact is a lot of people meet through work And if you play your cards, right you can climb Depending on what you're willing to do Maybe this is not the map how do I I am Guys is a joke what This is not the map you're looking for How long did cast know about you before she met you a year or two I guess just skip to map three No. I can't accept this. Look, this is the same map. I redownloaded it a few times already. It's the drive letter correct, yeah. has DWSL. So do you think this is a wrongly linked turtle rock? Or do I need to add the letters DWSL to it? Maybe that's it. You're right, it does have DWSL. And let me read it again. I met my girlfriend through work. I also think it's a good idea. My wife is making a big fuss about it though. You also think it's a good idea. That's good man. Okay, let's try again. I renamed it. Now why won't you be supportive, right? Yo, it worked! Candy bombers! Just have to restart because the overlay won't work at this rate. Okay, game crashed again. Awesome. work again. Game number two of Happy vs Lin with Happy leading 1-0 after a pretty convincing victory on Hammerfall. These are the two best players of their race in the game of Warcraft 3 and they're playing a tournament best of five and they just transpired. I'm casting the replay but I don't know the result. It's Lin aka Lienpia versus Happy from Team Aurora. Map is Turtle Rock. This is not the exact same Turtle Rock that came out in 2003 where the ogre Magi here drops a watch reward that's no longer a thing thank God but there was something intoxicating about sniping the ogre mage early and then dropping a watch reward and having invincible invisible true sight vision of the shop for the rest of the game it was very powerful and it created the strong incentive to get dangerous early and try and snipe this either with an army or with a little blade master from the back that's no longer thing he dropped something else I don't know what the second change is that I believe this ogre magi no longer drops a healing rune I could be wrong about that maybe he still does and the third thing is and I'm not sure they're using that version actually from the looks of it they are not but supposedly every ogre level three warrior camp should have enough space for an ancient of war in order to creep it and I can see clearly there's enough space here to not aggro the camp but here I don't think it's true nor here so they're using the old version of turtle rock they're also not using the new camps that are in between the two bases where the turtles seven has been replaced and split up into two level four turtles a little bit of an easier camp that can be taken as a first camp that's gone okay so this is a in-between stage not the 2003 version nor the updated version that's active on W3 Champions. Let us It's going to open up with a blade master, sell his town portal and only buy a single Clarity Potion Healing Solve. No speed scroll in order to save money, but save some 70 gold, but it makes his tech a little bit faster. Happy immediately starts with a coil to start his mana generation, resource generation. Also makes him creep the camp a little faster. If you do decide you're going to use a coil and creep it, you need to do it as soon as possible so mana regen starts. Two of these camps that Happy did will give you exactly level 2, but that's only true if the blade doesn't come in and steal 20 experience Stealing one of the level 1 creeps. The moment Blade Master shows up, Happy immediately starts Nerubian Tower in order to keep his Ankyline safe He goes to the other turtle which will give him level 1.9 if he successfully takes all the creeps for himself Ankyline is going to scat Happy every time the blade shows up if he's near enough he'll turn some units on him And if he's far enough he won't over chase Nonetheless, he can't slow himself down too much. Blade comes in steals another level one creep He's gonna go inside the turtle and steal the ring of superiority. This is cool thing Oh, and he steals another creep. Wow, this was very nicely done Lynn has stolen 60 experience three of the six creeps the smaller ones albeit And when you steal 60 XP, that's 120 XP swing. Because you got it, they don't. Of course, you could have been creeping by yourself. But if you did that, you would need units, which, of course, Lynn doesn't have. It's kind of like with talent and plagiarism. If you don't have talent, you need to plagiarize to create something. And if you don't have units, you need to steal in order to get some creeper speed. This plate is plagiarizing. The creeps is stealing. as happy as putting in the work. Ken Lin steel the turtle level 7 as well. He's coming in at the right spot. His instincts are extremely well honed. He doesn't have enough time left on his wind walk to wait until the turtle is low. And so he's just gonna start by hitting the death side because he knows he won't last long enough. Takes a ton of agility. That's one damage, 0.3 armor, 2% attack speed. And then it's gonna wait. Maybe he will creep this to have something to do while Happy shows up again. Kills this. Yo, Ipcans. Imperial before lumber camp, thank you. He's gonna take the warrior, will he be on time for the turtle? I think Lin bet that he would be on time. And actually he's wrong and Happy went for it so fast, almost as if he knew that Lynn couldn't tolerate the idea of standing nearby for a bespoke amount of time, which would be appropriate for a steal, that he knew it wouldn't be something Lynn would want to do, that he knew that Lynn would want to do something productive and go for the Ogre 3 and therefore immediately returned, whereas if you played against a lower level Orc, they would just stay there or like follow you into your base. But Happy read that so well and just went again. The Ritual Dagger happy use made his death knight in a better spot and now he's training pretty fine with the blade. Blade does have many items and he wants to keep the death knight low so that his shadow follow up with the heal cell speeds growl can threaten the death knight with hex. Happy opens the gargoyle because he expects most likely there's going to be windriders and he is correct. C-Steer 3 for Venom Spears, W-Steer 3 for Mos Wyverns. Happy. Won't be able to contest this Ogre Magi. Let's see what item it's gonna drop. I don't think it's Watcher Ward. Probably like Clawz VIII. Yeah. Ring Clawz VIII, it's the Clawz VIII, Ring Clawz V equivalent. It's a good item. Might actually be... ...pendent of energy type of item too, right? I think it's the same. Death Knight is going to get level 3, Blade Master has a sick inventory, the Lich comes out, tier 3 is started, Slot's Arras. One Garg just to be able to do coil nova guard attack on a wyvern if you see it, which still allows Lin to save it if he speed scrolls it away, but otherwise you lose a wyvern for sure. They're gonna miss each other. He sees the wyvern with a skeleton. He knows where he is. Oh and he's gonna booby trap it with the gargoyle and the coil nova. Look, he's stutter-stepping the garg. He's basically taking away the backswing animation of the auto attack and flying past the windrider as fast as possible after an attack in order to be able to get as many hits in as possible. And exactly that is what allowed him to kill the windrider there. very clean. Hex on the guard. Oh no way! He uses wand of negation to remove speed scroll from the windrider. Oh man, I'm about to kill the windrider. Oh that's so sick. Hex to remove guard damage, speed scroll, and you 100% get away from coil nova, but happy is so fast with it. Negates the speed scroll on the windrider, removing his maximum movement speed and allowing him to get follow-up hits. Even then, the windrider would still survive, but happy guzzles the mana potion and coils. That's minus two windriders. You have such an insane inventory on blades, but you lose 500 plus worth of gold and over 100 wood and you donate 120 experience to the DK Lich, just trading for mana. Very, very terrible. Oh look at that Dustin appearance guard comes in from the bottom and capsules the healing salve this is so clean happy is getting everything this game man there would be so much mental pressure on you as Lynn you know how behind you are TC third Cotto beast ratbizer comes out and he creeps a little down but none of this this was remotely good for her for Lynn the The one thing, well, he has two things going for himself. Insane inventory, though lacking in experience and levels, but an insane inventory on Blade. And he cancelled the slaughterhouse that was 80% of the way done. That's gonna delay statues, which will cost some health and mana, and it's also going to delay destroyer upgrades. Normally, there would be statue here, now there isn't. With how much health, mana, and happy adds on this DK Lich, doesn't look like the Statue of Absence hurts him that much. Creeping little camps here, more rings of superiority, a great all-rounder item. Early 45 burrow, spikes, a watchtower, and a repair on the shop is basically Lin's way of saying, I would like to avoid fight for the next three minutes. He expects to be attacked by a 9 plus minute timing, normally it can come at 9.15, 9.30, a destroyer timing with Frenzy, now it's delayed. So maybe at 10 minutes, which is why he aimed his tower to finish at 10 minutes. There's a barracks. What's that for? Probably a switch to hemtoptics. No more wow. They will always be more wow because I love the game now, Taria, but I did stop with the German wow guilt. My character died and I felt like it was a good stopping moment. Thank you, thank you for the sub, AtariA, you too, Puga. No lightning orb yet. Lin would love a lightning orb, there we go, he purchased one. I think Lin wants to take the ogre lord now. He has Scourge Bone Chimes and Endurance on the Torrent Chiefs then. 2-2-1, 3-3-2 would be big for him. Meanwhile, happy as Giga creeping. Found the belt of giant strength and a potion of invulnerability, 15 second untouchability on Lich. Okay, thank you for this upcast mania. Appreciate it bro, much appreciated. Thank you, thank you. We get spikes level 2. That is big. That will make the ghouls kill themselves on buildings. So Lim doesn't believe he can contest fights anytime soon. And he's probably right. Berserker upgrade, slowly leaning into headhunters, but not rushing it. Just using the air army he has for now to creep. Let's see. Cloak of Flames, not bad on Tornjieftim, especially so long as Ghouls are still in the mix. Warsong Drums, 7% bonus damage for everybody around. This used to be 10%, it was real exciting then. Now I'm not sure how good it is. 7% is like half an attack upgrade, but it's on everything. Ghouls, Gargs, Heroes. Not too bad I guess, half an attack upgrade on your Heroes. I mean, shit, how much is that on Lich? Yes, plus 8. So it's 2 damage on Lich from the drums. Let's say it's 2 on all of them. They have 1 claws between them. Claws plus 6. On the 3 of them. It scales with their levels. It's a little too bad. 1 claws in total. Not a top tier item. there's better, brilliance is better, endurance is better, but this is better for him than something like cloak flames, cloak of flames doesn't work that well with on this unless you have a Criplord peri up to vitality I love that item on blade master I would probably give away claws to shadow and take the peri up on the blades but you can also take it on the shadow and prevent yourself from easily getting coil nova nuked. On what is essentially quite a squishy support hero. Very creep heavy game, some people think this is boring but I think it's an important moment of silence before the storm where people, there is much higher tension on the players to be sure than the spectators. They have to try and stay abreast of where the opponent is and try to carve up the creep pie in the most efficient way possible for themselves. Another ring of protection, you see now 11 armor, almost a complete full inventory for Lyn. The one thing I'm missing is a heal scroll. Would love to see a heal scroll on the shadow. He sells the big ring, buys a heal scroll on Tarnshiften, but that's it. 800 gold in the bank. So what Lin is looking to do here, most likely, bank 1200 gold and then instantly go over with a Kodo, a Bat, and a Headhunter while buying Tiny Grays Hole and then doing an expansion, either here in the corner or here in the Vanguard. And as usual what Lin does, save up 10, like 1000 to 1200 gold and then go over 50 at the same time as getting all that. Whereas Happy, Happy is also at 50 pot. getting improved creature carapace, two armor on air, Gargs and destroyers and he's making more Gargs. More Gargs and he's going over right now. Mass Gargs. No way. Does he? There's no way he believes it's mass air for Lyn. Is there? I think he believes that. I think he doesn't know about the headhunter switch. There's a tiny great hole. He scouts, doesn't Maybe he has shade, he has skeletons? Or is he deliberately going garks against headhunters? Maybe it's possible. It's not like headhunters can really target garks that easily anyway while they're getting coil nova black arrowed. Thank you so much for the prime. I appreciate the support Rapid 13. Very up to fatality is actually sold on the shadow. He sold it right before he went over. And he is going rat biters. fire as well. I don't think we're gonna be attacking any on that basis but okay you will have it at least. So we got a couple of zerkers and now it's Batriders again and that is probably because he's scouting the garks. Now cool thing you may not know about Batriders. Batriders are a special type of attack damage when they explode. I believe it's called enhanced damage but it's more like devolved, not enhanced. Batrider explosion damage has a baseline of I believe 550, but it actually takes reduced damage from both armor upgrades and any other form of armor as well as from AMS, from the Banshee. So if he sees all the bats he can actually put AMS on the Gargs and they will survive batrider explosions. The armor and the AMS together, working to keep this squishy air unit alive against a batrider that is supposedly a a hardcanner to them. Big army for happy. Cool thing now is that Lyn's spike upgrades will have additional value. There it is, AMS in the guards. I believe spike upgrades also damage AMS. In other words, if you AMS the ghouls, I don't think they take spike damage from buildings. And now they do quite a lot, as you can see. This is a scary fight for both of them. This is actually an awkward joke for Lyn to try and push through. He's not going to hit the building too much, he's on the spike level. He's going to harass the peels. There it is. Silence. Insta-bill, play TC. Will he use inbill to try and remove the silence? Yes. Not all Orc units can come in. This looks good for Lyn though. I I think this looks good. Mirror image, Tarnchiefton gets another stomp, there it is. Blade Invald, nice heal way, bad rider explosions came in, not a lot of orc army left with two codos completely out of the fight. DC gets targeted, post invulnerability, gets taken down. He tries to go for the Lich, but the coil and the devourer hit the Lich on time and he lives. There's still invulnerability potion, you can use it if he wants to not take any risk. Icemary image removing the frost armor. The burrow is shooting. There's still a lot of units left. No attack upgrades on the headhunters and they have parcs on them so they really don't have much DPS. With the TC dead, a very important element has disappeared here. No Scourge, bonechites, no endurance anymore, no warstones. Every unit that dies becomes a member of the Night King's army. happy as converting them and making skeletons into them. I think Lin didn't have a great start, but I felt like he recovered quite well with his greedy, greedy 50 upkeep play, and then the expansion, the spikes and whatnot. Ultimately, the position was not fantastic, part of the problem when you defend the vanguard here. There's no real way around it. Happy used the building's infrastructure against Lin. Leaving his ghouls in a non-committal state, Lid Stark ranger harassing the worker line basically quote-unquote forcing have Lid to run through Where his Kodos did nothing Would it have helped if the Kodos ate two batches or two ghouls or if they were able to auto attack? I don't think it would have hurt. I don't know if it would have been enough, but uh, it certainly might have been I think they were so far away. They didn't even always give damage aura on the blades. You see etc Now it's just uh A mink flush play. You flush out the rat out of the hole and you kill everything that runs out. There is no backbone left to this army for Lyn. Very, very good play. Why didn't Lyn take decent expo? There is a downside in that as well. So if you take this expo and happy takes the position, you can put a couple of ghouls or attack this. Lin comes in you also come around the corner here or maybe you come from here then then happy we'll pull back there's always some position to to worry about and it's further from your own base further from the shop in some ways it's harder to protect their image dodges the silence which went on the Shadow. Shadow can't hear me if he still silenced, means Blade dies. GG. Not even that big of an army difference from the looks of it between Happy and Limb, but Happy takes the 2-0 lead in the best of 5. Very well played. Let's watch game number 3. We're on game number 3 on Shattered Exile between Happy and Lynn. Let me just go ahead and swap the player position. There it is. Yeah, Happy in the red as the undead in the bottom right. And we're in a series which is a best of five, the biggest prize money tournament going on right now in the Warcraft 3 esports scene and Happy is leading against Lin with a 2-0 score. Some very oppressive play with his death knight Lich Stark Ranger play. And so far Lin has already used two different hero combinations, Farseer Shadow TC and Blade Shadow TC. Both have fallen against the Emperor. He's now doing a 4p on micro for a while, getting just a little bit more wood with this peel over here. Can't help from this build yet if it's going to be Blade or Farsier, but now we can. The shop says this is going to be Blade Master. That's not to say Farsier can't buy Voodoo Launch items, but it's just exceedingly unusual, as normally the Farsier doesn't take the amount of health and mana damage that Blade does, to the point where you need reinforcement items this early. It certainly doesn't necessitate getting it and then slowing down your tech. So far so here's a money-shaving hero, Blade needs more health but has the advantage of being able to turn invisible. And he's a bit better at right clicks. Happy goes for his trusty death knight double cigarette opening. The map is possibly less familiar for you guys. It's called Shattered Exile. Personally, I thumb down this map. I don't know it very well and I didn't like how easily these creeps can wake up by accident when you walk past them. But I think they've improved the layout a bit. It doesn't look like it all happened as easily. It is nice that they make use of a new tile set here in the center which gets used sometimes on maps like Marketplace some cool creeps we don't see a lot like the greater Voidwalker the revenant of the seas the Voidwalker sea elemental I see lots of World of Warcraft characters here lots of World of Warcraft maps I don't know if it's good for Orca on that obviously this is going to be Lin's second loser map much love less than three keep up the amazing stuff thank you so much for tuning in and selling and saying that I appreciate it there are two trees they're gonna have it in post-production the color switch I've done thank you Okay, Lyn went to buy Dollar Circloth and finds a potion of replenishment. This is Lyn's second loser map. His first loser map was Turtle Rock. Let's see if he has more luck here, or the best of five will end early in a 3-0 victory for Happy. Happy brings his ghouls and skeletons to the center. see what the bounce of brilliance both players will be showing us here. To see elemental if I'm not mistaken has a passive ability with bash, the enraged elemental perhaps. The bash worked on them. This elemental can bash. Lin sense his blade master inside in between water elemental and death knight and steals the water elemental and takes the item which was a tome if I'm not mistaken. Uh, Emmanuel of Health if I... if I believe... if I'm not correct. Yeah, because I think his stats are baseline. 18, 22, 16, I think he's starting stats. He must have taken Emmanuel of Health away. And a grotesquely tanky blade. Let's see who gets out ahead. I'm this Renegade Wizard. Lin is standing in a spot where Happy can... not easily right-click in. But he managed to do it anyway because he's happy. He's kinda good. But the wind wall playd is able to make himself scarce and not easily get hit. Meanwhile, a lot of damage being taken by Happy here. As he tries to delay the moment where he engages on this camp, oh that's risky. That is risky, there's still dust. This is so risky but the lightning shield is actually dealing a lot of damage to its own ghouls. Dude, they're both playing with fire. No way bro, what the hell? He gets a level up from the kill too! No! No! Oh, he almost got the water and the metal. Dude, that was sick. Every other undead in the world would have lost all six goals here. All five goals. But Happy is just casually creeping three level fives and fours because he has great aggro manipulation and he reads the resources available. I don't know why the colors aren't right guys, it's uh... I'm trying to get it right, but... Every time I put it on OpsView, it messes up again. I don't know what's going on. It's a bug with the app. Yes, there's a minimum viewership that I allow raids with, mind play. Works now? Does it? Oh, it works now! Okay, I did something, I tried something. It works now. Okay, moving on. We have Mass Windrider again from Lynne, but it's not just Mass Windrider. It's double windriders into a raider. Usually this would be a bad rider for Lynn. Happy has his level 3 death knight with grotesque items. It's going to go Lich's second, not Dark Ranger. Generally, it's only Dark Ranger second if he's against headhunter opening, like in the first game, against Farseer Shadow. Once again, Gargoyle opening in a slaughterhouse in tier 3. Lynn clearly knows what he wants to be doing on this map. is creeping with good priorities, knows where are the items he wants to find, found himself a scroll of the beast. But we tried to pick up an item from that creep by following it, it doesn't drop one, so maybe he doesn't know the map as well as I thought. That's what I'm talking about guys, this is exactly what I'm talking about. That's why I hate this map, this raider just took 70% damage because he ran into some creeps. Because the creeps on this map are over-aggressive. It's a poorly made map. Please, shattered Exiled Deaths. Improve the map. Look, now the Raiders in Coil and Over range instantly. It's an ensnare. Oh, he saves the Windrider and the ensnare gets a Garkill. That's a good start for Lin. Oh wow. Hex instantly gets dispelled by one of negation. Very strong, strong play. Happy creeps to small camp. I think it's a hundred, mind play. War drums damage increase. So two windriders, Venom So two Wind Riders, Venom Spears, TC, Drums, a single Raider. Lyn keeps doing small things slightly differently. We've had the straight air, we've had air into headhunters, now it's air into Raider. Small little differences. Oh, the chain lightning hurts. Chain lightning hurts, getting two chain lightnings. Rune Bracers, that's a great item against Undead, and pretty much bad at every other situation. Rune Bracers will block spell damage. Natural spell resistance is 30% for Heroes, against spells. So you take 70 damage from a 100 damage coil. With Rune Bracers it is further reduced by another 33%. But it's multiplicative, not additive. So it's not like you'll take only 37%, you'll take 54% damage. So it saves 16 damage per coil level on that hero, for a level 3 coil, it saves over 50 health. Also works on Frost Nova, but not on destroyer attacks. I like ruined braces over parry up in a sense that it makes healing more effective. It makes large health pools more effective whereas periapt needs to be healed up with heal solve and heal solve. It's more costly to heal up. Of course, if you drop the periapt, it gets better again, but that's a level of micro that's irritating. It's also good burst protection that they don't expect. Shatter is level 3. Blade shows up. It makes use of the ensnare from the creeps. another ensnare, frost armor but instantly purged. Blade gets mass attacked by ghouls, he's taking so much damage, uses an invul. Nice windrider attacks on the destroyers which have been in Venom. One guard goes down but a wyvern two to coil Nova, focus fire. Coils to dark. The Venom lasts 25 seconds on units. This destroyer may look fine now but it's only a matter of time until he turns into the one HP. Coils still taking poison damage. You get a couple of good hits and stacks. Bam. He's still 545 HP. And that's a creep steal by Lind. That's very valuable. He gets the Scourge Bonechamps again, which is like a mini Mosk of Death on TC Raiders in play. Lind makes another Windrider, so he's dynamically adjusting between ground and air, depending on the army he sees. He's all significant air and gets more Windriders. Any upgrades yet for Happy? No, no armor upgrades. He's at 50 pot, getting ready for going over. Overlord, that's going to be Nova Stolen. Nova steals the creep, gets the experience. Item goes to Lin, and it is a Wand of the Wind, which he gives to Shadow Hunter, who's most likely going to sell it and then buy Double Clarity and Speed Scroll for it. I would imagine. Blade meanwhile? Where's Blade going? Gets a potion of Invo. Shadow. Cells Cyclone most likely. Double Clarity. Does not sell it. Even though it can be removed by destroyer, he wants to keep it as an ace up his sleeve. Cool. Let's see if that remains true or if he'll sell it later. I like the Torrentotum Edition. You can remove skeletons with disenchant. You can remove silence with disenchant. Provided the Spirit Walker is not in the same circular area of the initial silence. It does good damage on ghouls, the walker, and it can spit at link heroes to protect them from burst. However, this might not be walkers at all. It could also be torrents. Torrents have magic resistance, so they don't get slowed as long by Nova as anything else, nor can they be possessed anymore. And they've been buffed in their speed as well compared to the old torrents. They're now at 290 speed, if I'm not mistaken, instead of 270. same speed as a ghoul without frenzy only 40 movement speeds slower than a ghoul with frenzy and they destroy ghouls good damage on heroes as well with pulverize I have always liked windrider torrent it's very strong it's a bit if a bit in mobile a bit clunky I should say not a mobile clunky almost stole the creep? Not quite. What's it gonna be? It is walkers. Spirit walker training. 59 population, Lin is wasting no time going over. That's a lovely silence if he gets it. Cyclone on Lich, instant removed. Focus the statue. Kills the statue. Speech grill to save the Wind Riders, meanwhile Blade and TC are targeting some units in the back. So scary when the destroyer is still at mana, the wind walks away, honestly I thought Lin would lose more there, that looked very scary, he gets a heal scroll, he could fight again, he uses it instantly, is that a mistake? He just wanted to save his units. This looks good for Happy. Windriders killing two already. TC gets level 3, Shadow in an exposed position, Mears surrounded. Many Windriders have gone down but Lid micro's done very well. Saving them, then coming back in when the focus is no longer on them. Look at how he's microing! Insane! Gets one attack in with the low river. Knows that the Eye of Sauron will turn towards it and instantly pulls it back. He killed a lot of ghouls and destroyers there. And the Garcs? T.C. barely got any stomps off. Whippricks are actually no longer flying XP tomes. Their XP gain has been lowered. They used to give 85 now 60. One of their buffs of the last few years. They're literally as much XP as a grunt, despite costing way more and being squishier. Yeah, I don't think you're killing anything here anymore. This is a very low DPS army. Now that curses out, if Blade is cursed, he ain't doing much. So Lin is going to pull back. He did drop quite a bit in Population, lost at least 20 pop. Happy is at 41, 43 now, Lin is at 45, but he's accruing enough gold to go Tiny Grateful. Don't sell the rune braces, right? Cyclone, yeah. Tiny Great Hole. You got a Tiny Great Hole. All his money went to Clarity's Healselves and Tiny. Meanwhile, Happy's Creeping. Economic Advantage as a wind condition, allowing you to be more wasteful by more Healport, Manaport, Heal Scroll, Immoport and retraining your army. Happy is going for Strong Heroes as a wind condition. Getting the rest of the creeps and putting his eyes on this red camp. This is good for Lin if both of them continue to stare down this camp but happy never waits. He will pull and start creeping it early to force something to happen. Then creeps a small camp as he bites this time. He doesn't like fighting this because he sees how many skeletons there are. He's actually gonna give it Meanwhile, getting a tower for ghoul run-bys, and now going in, right before the camp is completely done, when he still has a good position, spinning link on the windriders. No instant Nova. Target to Walker goes down, that's a healing ward for Happy, Lin instantly cancels in with the next auto-attack of his shadow. Good movement as he felt. Focus on his shadow hunter becoming a very real possibility. speed scrolls and runs away and did lose something. I do feel like Lin lost quite a bit, but the majority of his army still needs to come in. Now is when his expansion is really starting to work. And he killed something, maybe like a Banshee, made Happy use a bit of mana, and one of the heal war charges. What do you get here? No heal pull, no speed scroll anymore on Shadow. No more sudden moves like that. Walker comes in. Honestly a very small army. No real anti-air for Happy and that's part of the problem here. He has a curse and frost armor set up to try and neuter the blade and he's got destroyers to remove Link. But ultimately it's a lot of squishy units. No true anti-air against four weapons with link and Lynn every second that passes by Lynn is getting further ahead with his income two skeletons won't quite kill beyond but if you can spare a frost nova on the beyonds you can lower the economic pressure doesn't want to waste mana on that though or does he Lynn is playing the fight is about to start perfectly selling that illusion. Worst stop is incredible hitting both the Death Knight and a lot of ghouls. One weapon goes down, he's targeting everything on the wind riders. There's a healing ward. How long would it last? Shadow cancels it three seconds later. Lynn on point with the battle overview. Kodos are eating ghouls. Lynn is vibing. Walker instantly gets pulled back. The moment he got targeted. Another Kodo eats a ghoul. All these Kodos are eating well. Blade is just tearing apart the back line. Insane damage for once, not getting targeted to low life instantly at the start of the fight. Looks like Lin has enough meat in this fight to survive. Great time to info on the blade to remove the Frost Armor effect. Does it yet? Not yet. He'll solve. Already casted on the blade. Under the cover of the Invulnerability Potion. The shade shows where the blade is. And even now, even against three heroes, Lin feels the need to run. But it is not per se because he would lose an all out fight, but because he feels he can benefit from a small reprieve. getting a heal pot. He'll solve on the Raider and a mana potion and clarity on the shadow. All pions have been sent routing or died. Two of the five pions died. There's a hex on the Lich. He's trying to get the TC close enough to worstamp the DK, but half his movement is too good. Goes for the Lich again. There are the Raiders. There's another hex. He knows there's no mana pot. He knows there's no invul, BAM! Lich goes down. Lin kills his first hero of the series and takes the third map against Happy for a 1-2 score in this best of 5. Excellent play. And it took so much. Happy never gives away a game easily. GG. Let's go game number 4. You will be fixed in post-production, Joffrey. I didn't cover it. I don't have anything to cover it right now. Yeah, yeah, I'll try to find something, then. I just need to find some image to cover it with. How about from that USB drive? I knew those 60 gigs would be useful for something. Let's go game number four. Yeah, I didn't have to source anymore, did we? Color check? Excellent. Game number four of Lynn vs. Happy. The best of five of the Super League. Happy is leading with a 2-1 score, winning the first two maps, but Lynn came back with the vengeance in the third game. I'll just speed this one up a bit to the two minute mark for where the heroes come out. The map is springtime made by a community member and adopted by tournaments and by Blizzard into the ladder pool. You love to see it. Lin once again goes for the blade master and he used it so well in his last two games that he played with it. So TP gets heal solve and clarity. A fun fact, the opening that Lin is doing with it, it's almost impossible to stop semi-pro all-ins by Criplord. If you expect this opening and you open Criplord and Ghouls with double Cript all in with Blight and Beatles and Skeletons, it is basically impossible to hold with Blade Master unless the undead really messes up. There are cool cheese builds possible if you are willing to demean yourself to play cheese, but if you are a super cool Giga Samurai that always plays the best thing and doesn't cheese. Then of course, you're gonna go DK Ghouls and Skeleton again. A player's forces are under attack. Let's say if Happy played a one million dollar Tori and I was his coach I would say, hey, why not go for the crippler opening? You know the guy who's playing Blade Master 1 Burrow. Like this build doesn't even work on Laner all the time because of the random undeads that are teasing you with a crippler go in. Happy crept through small green camps, picks up his first two items, has a whopping plus eight bonus damage on his death knight, checks if there's a blade, you can cheese the ogre mage with the blades without getting hit by the polar bear. The blade did other things, he got small items in the middle and from his own green camp. A random dust to see, are you on top of me? He was not. It shows up with the remainder of Wind Walk, so he won't have long, so he's gonna have to use it now. He uses it as a backstab on the ghoul. And the creep actually delivers an air coil moment as the blade steals the level 2. Very good situation for Lindar. One ghoul down, he didn't have to work for it, didn't get exp, but it's down. Dust missed, the blade kills the level 2 creep. And Happy cheekily forces a small green cam on Lin's side of the map. He gets it, Happy gets it, but with a coil. Now you're trying to steal the wolf and it does not get it. Nicely micro'd by Happy. Who gets the level 1? Again, not enough time for Lin to finish his attack animation. That's so sick. timing was so good and I think he's deliberately calculating the bonus 8 damage he has from these two items. Tier 3, before any unit production buildings, because why not? Shadow double B series. Gonna be Wyverns again with Venom, at least some. These days not seven Wyverns anymore, which is how people used to play a year ago in the pro scene. Thank you so much for the support guys. I super appreciate it. Give me red buff and juice perp. Thank you for the primes latest trying to find where happy is. Whereas happy is using cloak to be in a spot nobody would expect sells the cloak once he was done with and heads on elsewhere. David the beast variety. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for the prime and he was in the wrong spot. Lin went for the other ogre magi cheese like I mentioned with the polar bears zoned out you want greater heal here oh he can barely click it he found it he found the way to click it gets one of mana stealing honestly not bad steal 60 mana twice I believe this item was buffed it used to be 50 mana twice meanwhile while he was doing that the shadow hexes the sasquatch that sounds like an ancient Chinese proverb or poem the shadow hexes the sasquatch what's he gonna get a circuit of nobility fantastic already bought two finds another This blade is buff. Every circuit gives the same amount of stats that the level up does. So this level 2 blade has the stats of the level 5 if you want to see it that way. Of course, the level 5 blade would also have 3 circuits so it doesn't really work that way. A certain amount of items is expected. But that's how good circuits are stat-wise. doesn't come with the ability points. Okay so it's double windrider with Venom again into raider with ensnare. Oh excuse me Venom was not yet researched. Aggressive play by Happy. A coil nova and three gark love taps and a windrider goes down. Nice! Whoa! 100 crit on a level 2 blade. That's what I'm I'm talking about. Standard play for Happy, four ghouls at home, three with him, and three garks on the field. There's so much potential in this DK Lich combo. Lin is trying to bait Kojonova, you know? He's presenting his units roughly max distance, and says, Kojonova, you want there? And if you do, instant speedscroll and go away. And there is one defigation, but you would have to be gigapast to get it again. Nice positioning there on the tractor. Rope of the Magi. Decent item. Pretty good on Shadow. Six ints. Every int is 15 mana. Every int is 0.05 mana regen per second. 6 times 5, 30, that's 0.3 mana regen per second, 1 mana every 3.3 seconds, pretty good. You get the bonus mana currently in possession. TC third, looks like he went worst down first. Batrider, Kodo, Kodo drums, not a Kodo yet actually. An Alchemist 3rd this time, by happy. That is different, normally it's Dark Ranger, is that really worth it? He gets Alchemist when he feels his boss air, this was his counter to 4-weaver, 6-weaver, 8-weaver. But is that the right color against double-weaving into no airplay anymore? He feels it is. Isn't it super awkward not to be able to coil one of your heroes? Well, yes and no. It's an out-commissioned to the lowest level heroes that are the least worth to kill. It's also one of the highest strength heroes in the game. 800 health at level 2. It doesn't blow armor. You can frost armor him, you can give him invulnerability. Oh, didn't quite get to steal probably a little bit of internet delay there. Ooh, outside of dust range but there's a shade. He's not letting Lin know that he sees him until Lin enters his position and he gets maximum amounts of damage. Now this Magnetar Reaver is magic immune, so it cannot be coil nova stolen. That's why he has to make sure to blade is fire away. I like the two windriders because they actually are amazing creepers, windriders. Nice body blocks. Okay, not a great item, that's a sell. The best creeping units for Orc are Windriders, Headhunters, Berserkers and Torrents. In fact, against big creeps, when Venom is particularly good when creeping, especially if you split a bit, making Wyverns and not losing them and them being allowed to creep with them is quite a comfortable position. I like that he's not doing the giga cheese of Moss Wyverns, so let's just send it and hope that 10 Wyverns works. It gets happy often times it don't. And he kinda wants to find a Ring of Protection plus 5 here for his Alchemist. Evasion, kinda works. That's pretty good. I think he would have been happy with bonus Bona as well. Oh look, he had a Ring of Protection plus 5 already and gifts it to the Alchi. From the Death Knight. Also got an Ancient Django of Endurance. Fantastic item from the Reaver. Much better than the drums at Linn Gaun, he sold that, preparing a berserker switch, getting spikes level 1, not investing in attack upgrades, but does have one armor for his windriders, raiders and zerkers. Cool thing about armor is it works on everything, air, raider and headhunter, whereas a ranged attack upgrade wouldn't work on his raiders. just compensating a little bit for the armor debuffs that Capri does have with orb and acid bomb acid bomb level 2 now well they did a fine job of exterminating all life on springtime that was an amazing genocide guys thumbs up and once these two creeps are dead they will never again respawn as there's nothing left to repopulate. Good job. Now, the two superpowers of springtime will have to fight it out with each other because there's no creeps and unlike in other games that were inspired by worker 3, MOBAs like League and Dota, there is no respawning of creep camps. Should be a tiny great hole with three units over. Shade sees the timing. Tiny great hole. Not going over Over 50 yet, there it is, a Tontocoto and a Batrider. And instantly as he sees the tiny great hole, so does he himself, also push over. Even though he's caught kind of at an awkward time, he's still working on master training, the crypt is only 60% done, so he's basically going over 51 units at a time. Not generally what you want to do. Not bringing his ghouls yet either, he has one attack upgrade, no armor, and he's still just waiting still just waiting the expansion finishes with spikes let's take a small look at consumables honestly blade absolute beast would like his Instagram picture for sure all of them TC strong not a lot of damage not a lot of utility but he's got that he'll scrolls got a ring of protection and conflict shadow love the anti-burst protection on the peri after fatality But crucially, only the blades has an invil potion. It's a little risky, someone might get nuked. The Kodos? Oh, look at that! Oh, okay! Wow! Happy deciding not to push hard all in, and instead going for his own expansion. Cats got some tricks. I think this is because he invested in master training banshees. probably because he's seen so many kodobis and that the kodos were actually kind of good last game with all three kodos eating a ghoul and then continuing to be a tanky decent generalist DPS delivery person thing creature drummer animals and symbiosis units So he wants to possess the kodos, but because he has banished possession He still needs more mana and that's why it going all in feels like it lacks potential A little bit more harass at the back, 3 bats, 2 windriders. Ghouls are still 1-0, Garcs no armor upgrades this game so they will take more damage from ratbiders. But if I'm not mistaken, AMS Garcs, which I previously also explained, take reduced Well, they have a shield against explosion. As far as I know, the armor on Garcs will not factor in against bad explosion so long as they have AMS. AMS is like a flat 300 damage shield which does not factor in armor type. It takes 100% damage from everything and then after it's gone, that's when Garc armor starts mattering again. So a 550 damage explosion, 300 gets subtracted by the by the ams And then the next 250 will be factored in against armor So you could say that the armor doesn't matter as much when you have ams anyway All right, here we go big five tc in the front in the vanguard bad riders are insane despite the ams He still kills four darks instantly the blades in the headhunters are taking care of more worst Tom is good tc got level three from that so he's getting some fat stumps. There is no silence this time So that's a really big damage reduction, hitting DK and Lich while their cooldown of Coil Nova is available. Kodos have not eaten, but they've not been possessed either. Shadow very tanky because of the Pede up to a fatality. Raiders are killing Banshee, so Lich's micro is insane. His army is bigger, his blade is a monster. His Shadow instantly he waves himself, he felt the last ditch effort by happy materializing. He'll wave himself even as a bomb was hitting his face. and he's moving back. Every time something gets targeted, he moves it back instantly. Look at this raider. It gets acid bombed. But he's not moving it back. Oh my god! The blade nearly died! Whoa, whoa, whoa! That was scary! One of Mana Steals, stealing some mana from the Decair Lich. Blade staying on the perimeter, because he's low. The wave is available again. He can heal the blade. And he does! An Inval Potion was given to the blade so he can Inval again. Nice play by Lin, he's killing all the army that's here, still has to be careful for his heroes as even these three heroes by themselves can still have hero killing power and the shade sees all. Happy would give the world for a mana pot here and would give him a hero kill. This is dropping low, doesn't have Nova still, I think he can kill the blade, yep. That's insane. This situation, he can still kill the blade. Oh, mama, mama! Your mama not gonna help you here, Lich. Need some of the Lich. As the blade does die, but so does the Lich. Both are gonna wanna rebuy their hero from the tower, and the Shade and the Ghoul move to the tower to try and repurchase it. Why isn't he buying it back? Doesn't have to gold yet. Doesn't have to gold. There it is. Lich comes back. Where's the blade? Not here yet. AMS himself, against what? War Stomp, I guess. Stomp. In one, two, three. Blast off. Boom. War Stomp. Alchemist goes down. So many Raiders. One more coil on the Lich. The Machine Gun Lich is back. Machine Gun Kelly. Raiders are doing a fantastic job. Lich Micro's clean. AF doesn't do clumsy at all. This is greatest takedown the entire backline. 35 HP left. 35 supply left for Happy as Linus at 65. You know what? He trained his blade from the altar. Saves him half the cost. Tavern costs double. There's so much HP left here. Right here that's 4000 HP all of this over 4000 and it gets away that's a lot of raiders nice lumberbanks deal for limb he did move five pons to expo but he made another one so he has three still on wood and it made a new one here two new pons produced for four on wood pretty healthy no new warm mill upgrades yet all of the money is going towards heel waves clarencies monopult heel pull heel scroll, invul etc. The blade is back in 15 seconds. Happy's making a second temple. It's gonna be moss banshees. AMS doesn't do much anymore because there's no more windriders. Therefore the only magic damage is war stump, which is not that threatening. So you don't really need AMS, but curse is good and possession is good. He's going to try and possess Raiders I would imagine and possession works like a stun during the duration of the possession the unit cannot act. Problem is he only has enough for two possessions right now. He sees the army coming. It's a large one. This is a code red alert army. If Lin wins this it will be equalized to a 2-2 score. Now they've been fighting on Blight here. That's how small the Blight is. Bam! Goes for the Optimist. Colonova on the One raider goes down, worst down. Not that good. One banshee goes down. Zerkus are targeting banshees. It's shit. Ghouls on the headhunter. Nice micro by Hapi. He's on blight now. One Kodo devourer. One Kodo devourer so far. Targeting the Alchemist. Cannot be coiled. Glyn is using the weakness of that. More headhunter focus on the Banshees. Love how he's weaving in the Zerkus to target the unarmored with his piercing. There it is, Death Knight. Does happen in the Holy Hourly Level 2, no Death Cracked. And snare focus fire. Blade has no more Invo. Worst down, BAM! Death Knight dies. Invo given to Blade. That's it, GG! Score is 2-2. This is insanely high level play by Lin, using the entire spectrum, the entire prism of bestiary units in exactly the right amount. Wyvern, Bat, Raider, Kodo, and some Zerkers as well. 2-2, we're going to the rubber match. Guys everyone go ahead and check your VPN check if you have a twitch prime so that you don't get ads during the final game of the cast I'm gonna take one quick bite. I'll be back in one minute Hmm, less than three. Yo, thanks for the prime, crazy, and Tian vai Rulando us. Let's take a quick drumstick. No, it's Enhanced Damage A14, number one. It's both. Both affected. That's it for the Prime. Nihao, appreciate it. Okay, that was a misclick. at moment gf 23 23 23 23 23 be heistas bei euch wenn man je mandem mit dem schwanz ins gesicht schlagen ah swaffeln swaffeln vielen dank capsberg thank you Nice to see Moro too. Oh yeah baby. You are a good dog, Logan. Thanks for improving evening treadmill. Oh, cool, cool. That's nice. I saw a fitness advice where someone said, okay, the thing that they're most hooked to, like rolling Instagram reels or whatever. They use it while planking. So they're Poflovian training themselves to get excited about fitness because they're giving themselves brain rot addiction during it. And in doing so, he was able to plank a lot. Kind of cool. I guess that's how treadmill and watching Dupsey 3 is. I always turn on Warcraft 3 as well when I'm in the fitness room. Improve your body, destroy your brain. Yeah. But you know, these things are addictive for a reason. Your body wants it more, maybe you shouldn't give it, but now you're in the gym. It's not the worst. Can it be reversed? You start to hate IG Reels by planking to it? Probably. It's a good point. Alright, game number 5 between Happy and Lin. So lucky and fortunate that it got to this point. It is a best of 5 in a big tournament and the two best players in the world have gone at it against one another. Let's see what adjustment each player makes as I speed it up to the 2 minute mark in order to try and get out ahead in this final map. leaves. It's going to be a voodoo launch opening again for Lin. It's going to go with the blade master, Death Knight on the other side, the dark side of the forces of Warcraft 3. Lin, Heelsaws and Clarity. Instantly walks across and will try to get a steel on one creep or the other, got a couple of seconds left on the wind walk, sees a coil has been used, OOOH that was so clean! His wind walk ran out so he didn't have bonus 40 black backstab damage, but he timed it right anyway and got an unmodified auto attack and stole the troll. And the period of time during which he became visible was just too short for happy to be able to react to it nice cleanly done by happy too much damage simultaneously to the point that blade could not steal it's now going to go for the circuit the tricky part is here not to lose vision as you can see right now he doesn't have vision of where happy is so he will be required to make an intuition call and he thinks you're probably gonna get my troll for thank you so much for this up I appreciate it Clemens coats hype train going on thank you Forest Role Berserker is the prize and Lynn does not get it neither the item or the creep. Happy protects his own. Very pristine micro here by Happy. He's not keen to give anything away. No coil use there, which means the ghoul is not really a target. He will still go for it because his wind walk is running out. But Happy is near enough that he can coil it. And Lin kind of messed it up then he used the backstab damage nor did he do a body block so coil wasn't even necessary cleft bird thank you very much thank you thank you thank you for the prime ah backstab too early troll troll no die you know take magic candle happy's doing a great job protecting and now getting all these auto attacks in on the blade means blade has to wind walk speed scroll sorry wind walk and heal solve and then the dust and the skeleton attack and the hill self gets cancelled yes yes thank you Sunstorm oh oh wait wait he stole the claws he didn't get the creep but he stole the claws I was so happy about Sunstorm sub I always missed it. Didn't get the last hit but he clicked faster. That is very very important. Those claws will do great on the blade master. Yeah the score is 2-2 guys. Tier 3, double bistro shadow again. I know what I'm playing next time I play against an undead, which regrettably isn't that often. Usually when I play it's orcs and I like playing against Undead, but almost no one is good enough to be at the MMR that I'm at. And of course, Happy, Labyrinth, 120, they're very good, but they don't play much on Dupchamps. This seems like a fun build to play. It kind of has gone for his comfortable pattern now. It starts attacking the enraged wildkin. It doesn't look very enraged. It looks scared. Using Hex to bug its movement into a corner. And then it can put Blade here, Shadow here. Oh! Apollo, what's this? Ball. What color purple? Raiq. Nope, that's wrong Apollo. The color purple is enraged wildkin. Let's see what he gets out of this. Hellstone, would be amazing. Mana Stone. Um, Rune Bracers. Sorry, that item doesn't even drop here. That's the other crown. This is the Pendant of Energy Camp. Dropping a Rune Bracers. Quite powerful. example. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Standard peon count on wood. This is the type of healthstone, monestone item. You have to micro your wyrens away here because the troll prefers them to a blade. Otherwise he gets too many hits in. If you hit the priest at least once during hex, he won't interfere when he comes out. If you let him come back normally he will inner fire. You hit him right before Hex finished so no inner fire which means it's easier to kill. You can heal solve the blade. That's a very good creeps for him. Oh, wow. He forced Happy off his build order. So Happy tried DK Lich DR against Blades and it worked. Then he had DK Lich DR and he lost. Then DK Lich, Dark Ranger and he lost. And that was all with Gargs. Now he's playing Fiends. After this G-Torres and Panda all remove. So he switched away from Gargs and he's back on Fiends. that are getting web, which actually delays frenzy timing a bit. Blade solo creeps the Magi, as Shadow hunter creeps the level 5-5. Shadow now very close to 3, if he doesn't steal XP with Blade CC Shadow gets 3 here, which probably would have been worth it, but he didn't quite do that. Let me finish this up the drakes, the pizza crust, the white bread with the peanut butter or jelly sandwich, and get the Dark Ranger, Savannah's Windrunner. We elves are not easy prey, we elves are not easy prey. For the memory of Qualthalus, Lind goes for the granite golem instead of defending his base. This will be an impactful decision, but for good or evil? I know not. Shadow will get three from this. Spike Upgrades is coming, but it's not there yet. Minus one shop, minus Beastie Area, shop remade. All peons are inside burrows. TC! No way. He loses his TC to creeps. What the fuck? Oops. Dude, I have been waiting this whole series to see what amazing play Lin did with the TC on the creeps. Because I read on Reddit that Lin did something with his TC on the red spot that the Chatter loved. He's like when Lin does things like this with his TC on the red spot I really love it. I'm like oh my god he's gonna do like an amazing creep manipulation. Nope he just lost it. But at least TC healed full and he shows up right on time to give endurance aura. Wyverns have been netted. They're excited to get targeted. Kodo wants to eat the fiend and he gets the purge so he can eat. Second Wyvern goes down. The destroyer is getting hit by the burrow! It's big! Shadow drops real low, but he has bonus 5 health. Bonus 5 strength. From the Medallion of Courage, he has level 3 from the camp. This delay he did, where he lost several buildings, two burrows. It might end up being worth it. TC, body blocks! BODY BLOCKS! BODY BLOCKS! TC! LYNN! LYNNN! Oh, he didn't get the body block anymore at the very end there. I thought he's gonna take down the Lich for sure there, but hold on. He does have Hex in 3, 2, 1. He can Hex. Bam! There's no mana on the Death Knight. Instant Devour. But he gets the auto attacks and he kills the Lich! And there are more Hexes. More Hexes. He could Warstop, he could Kodos around. Or he could just Hex. What it looks? There's another Hex. Devourer not yet available. Windwolf! Backstab! DK and Lich go down! Dude! It's like Zekard used to do back in 2004. Your base is under attack. You don't go back home. You do not defend, you do not pass start. No $200. use 4 buildings, but you did a big creep camp, you got 1 more item, you got 190 gold from the creep camp, a big item, some levels, some crucial level ups on TC, I know Shadow and you use it to defend the attack. Lynn, deconstructed happy strategy in the course of the series, forced happy to adapt, managed to win against the final, against the final, uh, the final push? Thank you so much for the 5 gifted. I really appreciate that back in 99. Thank you so much, man. Glad you're enjoying. Now, was the TC Death intentional? Neo, hello man, Neo, how are you doing? I think it might be genius enough for such a play, was the TC Lost intentional? i didn't check if he had to use all for them if he has no he'll solve maybe it's intentional but i think it isn't i think it isn't i think you would just give it a year away from part of the award and go in with half life it feels risky but to be fair he lost the second piece theory he can't use his gold much he does have gold he could remake but but how would you feel if he intentionally lost his uh... tc and he lost the crucial amount of burrows to the point where he cannot remake TC from all time. Would Shadow be TC3? Yeah, yeah, Shadow was 34 XP away from level up. A single creep with TC would have given him the level up. I don't think it was on purpose. But cool enough he did come out in time. It only takes 33 seconds to revive a level 1 hero, so... 170 gold. Giving two Heelstalf would cost 66 gold, would take 80 seconds. He wouldn't be full yet. In a way it was better. Let's say it was costly, but more health on the TC than if you had done anything else. So, I think it should be an intentional play, actually. Genius. It's 33 seconds for a level 1 hero, 66 seconds for a level 2, 99 seconds for a level 3 hero to revive from altar if I'm not mistaken. And then I think it's... I don't know exactly how much it is after that. Cool. Very nice series. I can't do another cast immediately because of the voice. It's much easier duo casting than solo in terms of the voice. But tomorrow I would like to do another series, which I heard was amazing, Infi Against Focus. It's Orc Mirror, but it was amazing. That's tomorrow. Now, let's play a game or two more of Awee2. Grubby, why did you divorce? Question mark, question mark. How did you know to ask such a dumb question that it would be so funny? How did you know that's my favorite kind of dumb question? No, I didn't. Alright, let's go. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. Imagine losing to a guy that loses his Ava 2 creeps. Where do I practice 4v4? Best thing to do is on W3 Champions. There's a lot of griefing, sadly, on Bnet, in 4-on-4. People just leave at the start of the game. Oh yeah! Arena! What is the spec of Malay? Malay, age up fast, get free infantry armor upgrades, and can make battle elephants. They have a half population Zerkling they can make from castles, and they have swordsman trash that don't cost gold anymore. For the rest they're good on water, but you know, I don't play water maps. Did you know Malay is one of the best sifts on Arena? No I didn't. How fortunate. Oh my god that's a terribly placed house. Right in front of the goldmine, LMAO. arena so let's start bringing these ibex back they have the same rate of gathering as boars but I won't need to pull a villager to get them Yeah, I was trying my new micro of ungarrysening, but this is the first time I tried it outside of a real game. So that was a bit wasteful in time spent. I need to practice these things. Hey, above the TC there's not as much space. I didn't know that. Only on the courtyard then. Only below there's more open space. That is new to me. So I learned something in this game. Okay, my house locations are very grief, but it's been a while since I played AoE 2. You see, I took a two hour break from Warcraft 3, so I forgot how to play. Nothing much you can do about it. Been rusty, yeah. Start scouting the great outdoors. Ah, the great outdoors. Oops, why, why, why? Why are you there? Yeah, swasty. Gotta find all the stone and wood that's available out there. Nothing outside of my base here. Can't see much relics here either. What's Sifam I against? I would love a small little tip if you guys know what Sifam I'm against. Oh, the Hussite wagon one? Wait, Bohemians, Bohemians. Hussite wagon. Bohemians? Check Diplo. I don't have. I don't have ulti for that. Let's get more villagers on lumber. Get a new lumber camp location also. Now they get special cannons in Imperial, okay. And maybe they'll do a Hussite rush. brush. Never know, right? Deliberately delaying my aging up a lot here to get more unit sounds. I haven't fast aged up anyway as the Malay. Maybe the fastest possible boom that you can do with Town Center since I save minutes on aging up speed. Let's age up after this. What's special about Malay? It takes me like 40% less time to age up to any tier. It's really good. Nope. Damn it man. Minus all build a house there. EGH is going fast. Four farms is definitely as much as you should ever want to do. He feuded very similar timing to me, like markets, or some sort of thing. Now if he was going to wagon rush me... I don't know what to tell you about it. What would that look like? Would it show up already? I don't know. I don't have enough food, I go feudal really fast, make the feudal upgrades ASAP. Ah, you're saying that it's better with Malay to get the upgrades fast. It makes sense, kind of, because right now I don't have enough resource accumulation. Oh wait, I think he is doing the Hussite thing. There's no reason for him to have these spikes this early. Let's take him seriously. You guys know that saying, if a man shows you who they are, believe them. You know that one? I believe him. I believe he wants to hurt me. Then I will get the upgrades too, and delay my castle. It's fighting for relics. You think so? I think he wants more than that. I keep it wrong. Market? Yeah. This looks like more than just... Oh god. This feels like more than just... Maybe you're right, maybe that's all it is. wins late game is no reason to push. Whoa, how did I lose my guy? I ran through them without knowing. building two archers It's castled at the same time. I don't know if Skirmish is beat that. I can't come inside, yeah but I still wanted to fight for relics, alright? I will never give up! I think it's going to imperial soon or what? I also took up a video. I'm gonna change it up. I'm gonna take a look at the map. I also took up a video. I also took up a video. I also took up a video. I like this thing. I think it fits me. GG. Nice. You have such an interesting face, interesting like a car crash, if that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, it's so destructive that you can't look away. AoE 2 Gamer. It's a little rude, but I'm not offended. Oh, Bant. My mods were less amused than you. Melee is a top tier arena save. Yeah, Imperial went fast. Can you go over to Melee bonus again really quick? Yeah. Advancing through Aegis is 66% faster, which means you take the standard one and you do divide by 1.66, which leaves you with a 59.x% total duration. In other words, 41% is removed from the duration. That's a weird way to phrase it, but if you know maths better than me and you understand percentages intrinsically better, you would know that without looking it up, which I had to look it up. Infantry armor upgrades are free, but only armor, so many times Spearman, Longswordsman, Pykeman, Two-Handed Swordsman, Holberdeer, they all get free melee armor, which is pretty nice, and also the Zerkling from the castle. And then you get the Zerkling from the castle, cheap infantry, half population space. What is it? It's cheap. It's gold and food. human moss occupies half population space, they have a piercing armor 1, melee armor 0, of course that gets auto upgraded, they come out of the gate 2-3, 2 melee 3 pierce armor, decent damage, they attack very fast, they're kind of like Zerklings, fast attack, They have only 30 health, so they're particularly good at, I guess, people wasting over damage on them. There's just many of them. They do a lot of damage. You can just kind of cheaply swarm them at people. And their production time is six seconds. And you have an ability to make swordsmen cost only food. So instead of the swordsman casting 70 food, sorry, oh oh oh wow the technology updates when you get the upgrade. Anyway normally it's like 50 food, 25 gold, now it's 70 food, an incredible buff. The state of the law, the spirit of the law video about collision size is important to understand. Karambits if you haven't watched it. Okay. Okay. Isn't it 65? Isn't what 65? I want to play another. Dino Hera? Yes, yes. I know Hera. Oh, he only had 66 milliliters? Uh, yeah, I know Hera. Uh, he is, uh, the best Age of Empires 2 player right now. Vipers steal my goats, but I saw Hera playing. Holy shit, he's good. He challenged 7 Dota 2 Immortal players to a show match. I'm one of them. That's 24 February problem. I don't think you get the defensive upgrades for skirmishers for free also. Correct. Skirmishers are not infantry. Only Karambit's Minid Arms and Pikes. Yes. Ooh, roll steps! You don't start with the Townsend. Can you beat him? 7v1 I can beat him, yes. If he doesn't cheat too hard with handicaps. Gotta keep him honest. He is a dictator. He is setting the rules to his own judgment. Whatever he thinks works. They have to go find the wood line. Found it. This is a decent place I guess. If it will let me freaking place it. Holy shit that took a while. I don't know. Is it the hill? the hill. It's funny the courtyard of the town center only opens once it's actually completed so I can't put the sheep inside yet where it would normally The treaty has ended. huh That's what I was trying to steal his cows Haven't found him though don't know where he is found his horse oh they're in love more wood I guess. Yo thanks for the sub, Kenabana Metalism Appreciate it. Okay, okay, okay. Okay. Oh wow, cute little back alley. I like to go up the back alley here. And put a house in there. And forward, we can get gold as well. We can get berries. There's also a bunch of the hunt. There's rabbits here. You can put a meal on that. There's only four rabbits. I could lose this pig if I don't take it with my villager. I still don't know where his base is but he's got a criminal. I could age up super fast and get those eco upgrades instead of delaying my age up. For this, I would need a lumber cow. There's a boar. Can pull the boar. Getting close to having enough food. I feel uncomfortable with these kind of openings. This map, you still have to learn. I don't know where the other bore is either. There's so many deer there it seems Giga worth to go there. Well, I did not go up H up fast, that's for sure. I need that much food. I need... ...the bars. Bro, where is he? this one first, this one first, and this, I'll make some of this, ah the middle shard too late actually. Yeah, I forgot to have to make them earlier. Oh, hello. He's getting stoned. That might mean my tower rushed me. Yeah, I'm not gonna be there. I'm gonna go to the other side. I'm not gonna be there. Yeah, I'm not gonna be there. Yeah, but we got to go. Yeah. Sustee. He's filled up. How did I lose that? He had more. Epic music is epic. I I don't know if it's worth getting all these buildings or if I should be idling his villagers. I think I should be idling his villagers. Oh my goodness. there's one on upgrade so do i I guess they were low at tree shouldn't be too surprised Why why did they're so stupid Why is he going out again? Oh, he wants to build castle. Yeah, sir, come here, I'll take care of it. Yeah, sir, come here, I'll take care of it. Yeah, yeah, I'll take care of it. Yeah, sir, come here. that's not good he made a town center here Ruth stupid hills I'm gonna have very little food I can't make it. I'm a little on space Oh, I'm gonna go. Oh, I'm gonna go. You are my king! Slept. Sia. Yes, I'm a bad man. You are... You are my king! You are my king! I don't know what to do with this game, but I'm not sure what to do with this game. I'm not sure what to do with this game, but I don't know what to do with this game. Nice. Drop me back to a 2. Good time to sub to the drop again. Thank you! I'm feeling like I better just keep dying, guys! Tell them not to, okay. Okay, enough suffering. Guys, he had 61 villagers. Malek and Bill Cannon, okay. He had 61 villagers, what a shame to lose to such a thing. Maybe I was ahead even. Look, his largest army was 13. I think I was winning actually. It was over already. He had nothing. I left the winning game. Tilt it! Tilt it! Oh my god, it was just annoying. Oh my god. I left while ahead. The EI was right. Oh, that's a tilter. Hey, bud. I have to go. I have to go to the next game. The counter attacks too. I killed so many villagers probably. it just felt like you weren't because he was constantly in your base yeah of course my castle died but and you make fun of people overstaying okay I'll never leave early again wait is this the same guy but it is a Mongol so we can pretend it's the same guy It's okay, it's arena, this is ours. No, I think he thought he was winning too. Both him and me thought he was winning, but actually, he was losing because he had no villagers. Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Losing? Not losing. It's a 60 villager guy. One out of a hundred. Ridiculous. I can't push the board. You had no army? Yeah, but I was able to make army. If I used marketplace better as well, it would probably help. If I was better, it would help. I thought I was overstaying. The shame from that made me leave. Ridiculous. I saw it, super ogre. See both floors. He lost that last game when you did get the secret tribute with Warriors. It was over. It was not over. We just agreed it wasn't. Didn't we agree? Unanimously. I think we did. I guess I'm not housed anymore. It's okay guys, small losses. Each villager is like 180 res in a minute and let's not worry about how much resources I lost by losing villager. Let's just focus on the good things. Too many on wood, up to few doing it only max 3. Ah, you're right. I'm on the way now. But no arena it's also not that big of a deal if you have a bit too much on boot because we're not rushing feudal anyway. Bankaiu. Mongols. 1590 the archers. Are you using the proof-builder? No, I'm uh... I'm kind of winging it based on I Get a little Oh very late, he's out, very very late. What the fuck? I thought he came in for a second, what the fuck? Get the eco upgrade first, because my food is too low to support another town center anyway. Get one second TC right now. Got the double bit Axis now. Take off gold for a bit. why is it getting stung long? this one now? good, I must be very very far behind I didn't see him getting any relics here, but maybe he got one already. I don't know if it's going to be worth it soon. You gonna get any relics yet? It looks like he's... oh my god, I don't have enough food. Even for a villager production. You already took two relics? Crap. It's okay, I got one. Probably. Okay, now we have to age up. Imperial. It's my only chance. Imperial and then what? Trash swordsman, maybe. H up to atomic, Arbalest, BBC. What's BBC? Why people keep saying BBC? No. Did I buy woods by accident instead of selling? Let's get Arbalest. What is BVC? Bombard Cannon. Oh, okay. Bombard Cannon from the Siege Workshop? There's bullying by both of us, no brain-booming. I was scared of how fast he aged up, but he did nothing with it, seemingly. how much is this, $325 to $225, okay I'm not sure what to do with this. I'll just go back to the base. I'll just go back to the base. I'll just go back to the base. I'll just go back to the base. come on This is the most passive thing ever, I think it's going to burst through with like a million This tech... Do I not get stage engineers? I do. Oh, okay. Shit. one day I will stop making villagers 1 at 155 Oh my god, Bomberks are so nice. My first time really playing with Wombirds. You can even kill Skirmishers who did it. This blacksmith again. C.J., we won despite losing a villager in Dark Age. Bombard cannon, BBC, okay. Pretty good unit. And what is their range? maximum range 12. Their range is 12. Ah, no, that's their down range. What? maximum range, minimum range. Yeah, 12 damage, 40 damage, a 12 range, plus 1. Oh, minimum range 5. 13 range. And the trebuchet? Ah, 17. So they are shorter. Most disgusting in it. Yeah, they are really disgusting. Can you please change an option to show your units as blue enemies as red? It's confusing. Oh. Do you guys agree? I should always be blue? It didn't bother me at all. I prefer Ally as blue, does you wish? Same as Warcraft 3, it's not an issue, I prefer red. Do whatever you want, I like to always be blue. I've always been blue anyway in Warcraft 3. It didn't bother me. It is actually psychologically advantageous sometimes because it's easier to react to red is danger, red equals danger. All the pros play yellow. But you can choose or not you're read by default yeah so I've been read all along I'm okay with that I'm okay with that it's been fun so far and one thing I did notice differently and other people they have the health bar as red for the depleted part which makes it what by default I don't know maybe it was green but maybe that's only possible when you're not red yourself. Well it hasn't bothered me yet, I'll just follow my heart on it. I need to stop making mass blacksmiths, hotkey as you. Okay, I boomed better than him, even though he did more relic collection and he was so much faster with all the Aegis. If he had done any attack, it would be better for him. Banner Blacksmith. Okay, that was interesting. What was my day result? Score? How does the bot work? Four win, one loss, 48 MMR gain, okay sick. And the one I lost, actually I won, but I accidentally left. There it is, server maintenance. It's said the same yesterday, but... Okay, I should go. Thursday. Thursday usually I take off day or at least I should. I think it would be good for me to do but I am a hundred percent sure I would still be playing A.W.T. if I take off day. Should I take it? How long has it been through King since I took off day? I I think I streamed at least my last 6 off days. I don't think that's healthy, but I never stop when it's healthy. Maybe I should ban myself from streaming tomorrow. I think it's been months since I took an off day. But I want to play in stream, we'll see, probably not. Have a good night guys, thanks for watching, see ya. maybe maybe tomorrow I do only YouTube stream and I just play some random game we'll see
