AoE2 2v2 World Cup | China vs Vietnam | Semi Finals

Game one is Arabia the format of the toward man is quite simple whoever loses Game one gets to choose their home map from the map full game - and then you can't reuse civilizations throughout the whole set now these games were played live on Friday so I asked if there's no spoilers if you spoil don't be surprised if you get timed out or banned or something because I don't want the result spoiled here and then immediately after this at least on Twitch I will be casting the Norway vs. Finland set which will be live and so will get both the semi finals for this tournament out of the way t90 officials mic sounds a bit hot slight distortion I haven't heard anybody else anything so I think we're good we're gonna start the game off and we have mister yo for China he's playing as the Ethiopians in the red in the green we have licks licks is playing as Dee Frank's so strong civilisations there we have yo as is Archer save and then we have licks as his knight civilization already I don't know if you've noticed this but backed has been forward bhaktas in the orange he's playing on his 8 euro account and he's playing as the Aztecs he was trying to lane not successful yet but expect to see more of that throughout this series so Aztecs for him and then in the blue we have say my oh god we have say my name and he's playing a hesitate cuz oh boy oh boy I didn't prepare myself for this we have blue we have blue all right so - mezzo picks really interesting to me because as I said with with China SIVs they have a scout sieve and they have an art rusev it's interesting that we would see two mezzo picks here so I wonder if Vietnam will go forward it's possible they might go forward because they won't have the mobility without scout so I'm thinking maybe well I don't know what to think exactly but that would imply that they're going to do something different as they don't have any horse civilizations that also means that the only meses if that they would have remaining would be the Mayans throughout this whole best-of-seven so they're getting two out of the three measure saves out of the way right at the start now okay as far as lanes go blue has been able to seal some sheep nice job but I think that everybody else will have their resources Knoll aiming beyond that so I think with these civilizations Vietnam has to get a strong start they have to get a very strong start because otherwise if they're not winning this game early on it's gonna be very difficult for them to stop licks from running or all around them with Knights I'm thinking maybe and just maybe we could see back to go for address into a full wall fast castle he could go really heavy on gold and then maybe go for siege and monks as Aztecs it's an idea could work and then maybe say my name goes forward with towers and man-at-arms or something cuz forwards and team games it's not common it's it's because it's risky and you you oftentimes will be to be one but maybe it could work out here if back has something planned in Castle age g9y official is it rerun or you gonna cast like it's live yes as I said it's recorded games man so twitch out give me give me some help here today if you could because we'll have a lot of viewers coming into the stream some people might be aware that these were played Friday morning I was casting community games so if you guys could answer a lot of these questions for me if you have the time of course just help the community either be a huge help to me so I don't exactly want to avoid people but I also don't want to answer the exact same questions ten different times within a given game so now anyone's fault for asking questions they're just showing up and and everyone has some more questions so who can okay you see this eagle he wants some meat he wants some meat and he's missed out on that very weak eagles for both of the vietnamese players because they went for so many lames now saying that yo Scout is on 1 hp if he's not careful as he Scouts this barracks he could actually lose that and ok he runs the other way so lex's on the way to futile age no surprise there Lix will be going for scouts he's a weak Scout to his barracks will be going up it seems like backg lost his Scout on the other side by the way back is going man-at-arms what is the other vietnamese player doing okay so this this guy cracks me up so his name for a while was yellow and then he would be in blue or red or some other color and then the casters would call him yellow and it would be confusing so then he became known as say my name but now when a caster says say my name you know it well at least in my community you know what's gonna happen so I I'm so used to calling players by their names but I really shouldn't say say my names name I think I will stick with the color throughout the series so well here comes the forward now this could be dangerous for licks but he's already building his stable so he's on his way to creating a few Scouts and okay so we have a forward from both the Vietnamese players Yeo is planning to go archers right oh he's going man-at-arms nice move and then archers behind that so this has to work for Vietnam if it doesn't work within the five first five to ten minutes if they don't gain advantages within that time they will probably fall way behind and yo sees this he spots it he's getting man-at-arms and he's fighting with his villagers so it's really hard to distinguish the difference between these two with red and orange but it seems like yo is a huge lead like already backed his lost one of his militia wait to do was a Ville now he lost a villager and he is weak villagers so this is a good start for you now on the other side we have the towers already on the way up for blue and these are good towers these are good towers and a strong start to these engagements as well and arms Lix forced to fight with villagers Lix has done decently well on his berries and his ville micro yeah he loses this scout as filmmakers okay but I love the two towers from Blu this tower already forced the defensive tower from Lakes and then this towers right on the wood line licks does not see that and even if he did he couldn't stop it and then on the other side we have towers going up from backed coming as no surprise to me and he will wall with his villagers and that should go up so I'd say back doesn't had that the best start here but the start for for Blu has been really really good and you know what licks doesn't have any other wood option he doesn't have any other wood option he can't go here he can't go here he could go further north but that's really far away so then she lays he chopped through these trees he'll need to leave his he'll be with him the towers range he can't take wood easily he can't take food easily from his berries so he can't make a lot of scouts and he only has two and one that's very weak all right well Bacchus has kind of trapped himself here and yo is waiting for these villagers to run yo could kill all three these villagers inside this tower so the sides are a bit imbalanced and another tower going up for Blu he thinks twice about it though because looks is already building a counter Tower fortunately for licks he has stone he will now relocate to wood something that blue might see expect because he is good scouting in the map he should know that that's the only what that looks has available okay and this is where it starts to get dicey for Vietnam because backs forward is its it's been pushed back for lack of a better word it's been pushed back he can't do any more damage beyond this so he is having some skirmishers from home which I like would counter any enemy archers but he's got to lose vales most likely he tries to wall in that villager that thought which was just gonna die he's doing a great job being stubborn but just not a great push and then you look at licks licks is finally stabilizing with its eco cuz he has his wood Hill had farms he has mobility with Scouts and then later on it would be with night so I think it's important for Vietnam they either continue to pressure or they protect themselves at home with a lot of walls even defensive towers in some situations not necessary now but could be something to think about and Wow okay some stubborn play from fact backed is walling in another villager and he wants to deny this wood line look at this okay so he goes for an additional tower yell if he gets an archer over there could deny that I think that the archer will get there just in time but then again backed has his squirms so alright he might be able to get that one up so I truly don't know what's the Eco like for likes 70 food he has three Scouts one of which is weak can maybe do damage with this well if yo tells him scurbs were here the scouts could go over to kill the scams that's one thing tower from blue on the wood line that licks needs nice wall from licks though licks will saved most of this wood line and the defensive towers already there so we should be okay so now what does Vietnam go for they probably go towards the castle H as fast as possible then eagles on both sides eagles would make sense from from backed he is a decent board position so perhaps he could consider monks and siege as I'd mentioned earlier backed my crows down one of Yas archers to of Yoos archers and this villager will just hang out in this tower until he can go back to work there but he might not be able to okay this is what they needed this is what they needed it the inclusion of scouts means that fact is in trouble again but he is fine at home and he has walvis base at home so he's he's untouchable and we'll see the same from say my name most likely and he's still trying to build towers look how stubborn he's being the funny thing about Vietnam and China is that they have virtual identical styles their strengths are normally with walls and towers they're very stubborn teams which makes them very successful in team games when things go wrong and man these towers have been strong I'm I'm not normally impressed with towers as you guys know but the placement on all the towers were blue it been good the repairs have been good I think Lix is more delayed than blue has been by repairing and building all these towers economically and Lix I doubt he'll be able to do any damage with his Scouts inside blues base because Blue has spearmen there but you know what if yo gets to castle age soon seems like he might clique up and he gets a force of crossbows and comes over to blues base blue will be destroyed so if he goes to back-to-back tests Kermes ready and back might be in Castle age but if he goes to blue blue has no answer right now and yo cooks up to Castle age first okay so the best player in China mr. yo starts off game one by defending well against the best player from Vietnam he definitely has the lead there in my opinion he will mix in crossbows he doesn't have a lot right now but he could also add TCS he's in a good place economically his resources are balanced and he has good defense so I would like to see him hit blue however boots on the way to Castle age I believe he will go Eagles right yeah second barracks going up still though if he's hit before he has a massive Eagles before he has Castle age upgrades yo scroll suppose could do damage that's what I'm thinking so looking at backs now he will probably click up to Castle age after his wheelbarrow upgrade finishes I hate that he chooses orange you know fun fact about backed he chooses orange and then in game he puts on team colors so he's blue and his allies yellow and then the enemies are red he does this so people can't see him he does as so enemies can't see him and that would that would include casters as well I can't see him so it kind of sucks sometimes on these Arabia maps it's it's easier on more Green Maps he streams his point of view and he always his team colors he's always in blue on his stream he does this intentionally I think a lot of players do that some players will choose gray as well so they can't be seen I think Rubens stock earlier or sorry later when we see him play for Finland's he'll be choosing gray another tower now for blue licks is on the way to Castle H where's mr. yo going with his army well mr. yo is playing defensively with his army right now so I'd say mission accomplished for Vietnam mission accomplished they did not get countered really at all and blue is in a position to make Eagles he doesn't have a lot of barracks though so he won't have many that could be a struggle then verse the nights that licks will make but backed has a a decent forward position I mean the towers give him kind of an area to launch from but now he's just has one tower and it's being shot down what's his play what's back to going for crossbows and scrum still okay I think we'll see a large boom now for Vietnam I think they will attack but I think though they'll try and add T C's more than anything t9 official what's the point of doing that if pro opponents also choose team colors well they don't always that's a thing they don't I mean it's just it's just something that backed has done for years and years and years so this is the danger I mentioned it yos hear a bit later than I wanted him to be but he's sending crossbows immediately to blue and blue doesn't have a lot of eco warriors he doesn't have a lot of upgrades yet it's a big concern for him there because if especially if yo loops around you see yo now he's looping around look he's going a long way he could find villager picks oh yeah on the TC that's going up thinking the stone or the wood and there's tc's going up in both areas this TC is already there this CC will likely be denied unfortunately since blue is incas we'll have a little bit more armour on these villagers but he should still lose them with the O's micro and you see how yo is not attacked he waited a little bit he got closer to the Vil's that way if blue runs away he'll be able to get a few more shots in he could have waited a little bit more for sure but he kills two villagers and denies the TC that's quite a big deal the mystery he'll has the most fills in the game is the most military in the game he's the fastest firing crossbows available in game and he's going to get more kills here as well really strong start from mr. yo this game honestly licks did decent job it wasn't a great job though he's doing all right in his won't be one but yo is doing an excellent job and you always killed a total of four villagers already and he's delayed blues TC so this is really a team game for you if your inbox position and you're no longer threatening your guy and you have full walls then your guy is going to hit your ally this is what you have to expect here blue did not expect it in fact with just elite skirmisher whoa that's not enough I don't think five scrimmage is gonna be enough he'll go for a trade they'll hope and pray that three skirmishers can kill a few more crossbows but I think that'll be the end of it credit to backed he does come to help loose ends eagles over here so now this will probably be the end of Yoos push yo jumps into the ponds but the skirmishers will still kill him and now licks is sending his Knights over towards backed because backed has does scurbs right so i think that choosing to meso saves and one game is a gamble they needed to have even more success with their push and early futile age to for me to really like it full Knights now versus full eagles well there Frank Knights they should trade well versus Eagles that should trade well versus the scrum slicks should be able to kill everything right now that's out the map and if he doesn't like to fight he can just run away from it that's the beauty of having Knights and that's a disadvantage of Mississippi's and normally if you have your mezzo going archers it's fine because archers are always going to be slow but you need something that replaces the knight and in this case it's Eagle warriors but it's worse than tonight so here come the crossbows here come the Knights and back should have no answer to this okay so he has the siege works up in a monastery this isn't a very good sign still but it's something he could get conversions with the monks he could get mad canal shots landed but at the end of the day his eCos Idol and he has no control over his opponent also crossbows could pick off those monks but there's a chance baptists is trying to get to the imperial age I imagine to go into a li Eagle or something it has to be that and I think that say my name needs to get used say my name has his Eagles at home I think he needs to get here to help [Music] actually they're gonna go right to him yo elixir on the way I suppose blue wouldn't have been able to kill that anyway so it's probably better to just let back to state defensive at home with Mac & L's and that blue dude the same villager wise it's pretty good sixty-eight fills for both say my name and backed yo has 69 it's 64 licks I would prefer to be in China's position because they have military control but there is a moment in time if you get two Eagles and pikemen where you can destroy the Knights and if the cross was aren't there to work well for you also early in the Eagles can be very strong it's easier to click up to the Imperioli tool-making Eagles than it is when making mass nights because Knights have a very heavy food cost okay a decent moment there for blue he kills a few nights he almost gets conversion but now he needs an answer with his Mac and L and just remember the villager count is not the whole story it's the efficiency of it and old backs on the way to imp really okay well if he goes directly to mr. yo with the lead eagles yo could die to that there is a chance here now meanwhile blue is just getting rekt to v1 his very little response to this he's losing a lot of villagers it's not ideal for him but fact is on the way to him I want to look at his base to see what he's making you just have to give me a moment to finish off this fight I like it from Lex great job to kill the maggot a light blue is done okay considering considering its 1v2 he's done okay I think he'll be able to hold let's see what is back to making now is he going ranged units or is he going barracks yeah okay he's going back so HoCo eagles problem is he doesn't have a lot of ego upgrades and because of that he's going to struggle and licks has come forward with a castle on blue I like it they're all ready to be wanting blue they know that backs might be on the way to imps and need to take this time to take more advantages and that's exactly what they go for it back to gets two conversions with his monks and blue will probably complete the TC but I don't see him being able to collect that gold for much longer also blues been making mainly Eagle warriors so this is a rare time to maybe see the throwing axe men come out from licks and he's doing that and then yo still on the way to hit blue yep back to needs to kill yo he's to kill yell at illegals if he doesn't then his ally probably dies it's as simple as that I like the forecastle iflix built that castle more defensively I think that blue would have had some time to breathe and oh here we go here we go say my name is on the way to the Imperial a jazz is yo and say my name is building a castle here to keep himself protected alright that castle will go up as well I don't think lik should took you all in throwing Axman at all you know again the lack of mobility on units is is apparent in a team game so a few three Oxman is helpful but you still want to think about cavalier nice maghen L shot four back that was decent and where his Eagles here they are oh but yo is ethiopians and yo got his castle up in the perfect area at the perfect time yo can make Shoto warriors he's actually on two castles he goes directly in the show two warriors to count to the elite eagles he knows our incoming great move for mr. yield great move for mr. yo and great situation for China then because blue will be making Eagles against Knights and throwing Axman and then back to will be making Eagles against shota warriors shotel warriors have 16 base attack and these Eagles are ante Archer you can still pick off fills for Karthus what they're fighting against but the benefit of Eagles is their pierce armor and there's the signal from you always like hey you got some Eagles going to your wood line be careful Lakes and this is where licks could use a castle or two at home right because those those villagers disappeared pretty quickly and one or two knights is not going to cut it either don't tell me that's blues empty sea well that's his empty seats at 99% he just gets to the Imperial age fortunately blues just losing so much at the moment and I don't think that back to will be able to continue to raid China I think that if anything yo will push him the show tell where your upgrades are coming in the show tells are fast enough to chase down these Eagles and now I'm just waiting waiting is the response coming from say my name fighting just castle age units fighting throwing ax Mennonites guess he'll wait for plate mail Armour he does have some help from back tears he has no room to breathe at the moment and licks is able to breathe yet again because his buddy yo showed up hey yo will be on three castles you know what a beastly game from him what a beastly game from him man probably beyond forecast as soon look at the stone he's collecting and it's now elite shotel warriors on the way I just heard the bell rung someone hasn't unbind at their bell key so 150 population for Yale 110 for licks licks is doing what I think is the right thing it's still risky though you see how he's still producing Knights in Castle age I believe you need to hold your advantage here if you stop producing Knights you could lose it so hold to your verse blue make sure blue can't breathe and then yo can turn this into one be 1 verse fact and in fact is getting bracer he's hoping he can mix in archers against that but that's not gonna work really yo could text so it's right back into his own archers which would be better CEO is defending his ally he's pushing the guy on his side a forward castle will probably be incoming for yo once he gets the stone and backs is in big trouble there's no other way to say now he's in big big trouble there's not a lot he can do except trying to avoid all that and hit licks maybe and that's where he's going hmm so how many castles his looks have one where's his stone at he's on his way to him I think you went to stone a bit late cuz I think by now he could have built a few castles in his eco cuz he's Frank's right he only had enough stone to build one single castle this game mean fortunately he's on his way to the imperial age but these are some heavy losses he's taking he loses his castle on the front as well he's sending all of us Knights back to deal with that don't think it really matters though I think that backed is probably dead I don't see anything stopping mr. yellow at the moment mr. egos getting coinage to sling resources to licks probably so you can get cavalier and paladin 130 fought pop for blue so maybe since he stabilized he can go kami Oaks it could possibly mix in slingers against the show tells but swingers are not very mobile and swingers can be easily countered by the cavalier that licks will be making so I just think back to needed to do more vers licks licks will be just fine in the end and backed has no answer ^ yo yo has four castles 130 kills 83 deaths 200 population the guy's a beast the guy is insanely good he had insanely good defense and fuel age he'd insanely good attacks in council age and a great boom and now an MP's bringing this home for his team and I think the China's gonna take Game one it's just a matter of time now cuz y'all can kill everything that Vietnam is making and this is all before licks gets to the Imperial agent gets Cavalier and maybe that's why Vietnam still trying maybe they realized that show us best build his fifth castle here maybe they realized that some flicks is in cast leaves they have a bit of more of a chance but now they season him and I believe we will see the sling yep a little bit of sling a little bit of a food boost going to licks from yo just so we can research cavalier and he won't even get there GG man so blue did a good job but this is actually a good example of why forwards fall off in team games team games are more about momentum than one view ones are like the strategy to go Towers leaves you with very little military momentum and I think the best example here was blue his tower rush was strong but then he didn't have military units and he tried tried detecting two Eagles but he was always behind and yo for example he made archers from the get-go and he kept those archers alive and was able to do damage in multiple areas with them and so I think maybe if fact would have had more success for his yellow than yo wouldn't have been able to create units right but I think that it's a risky strategy for a team game and perhaps a sign that Vietnam is not very confident versus China because it's not typical for a to be - especially when you get free pick to go with to measure sibs at the start why not save Aztecs specifically why not save Aztecs to play alongside Franks or slabs or something in some of these later maps I don't know and and maybe on a later map where you could justify walling up more you could go with monks and seeds with Aztecs I was not very convinced still considering the strategy was kind of bad I think that the implementation of it was with decent considering they still got to the Imperial Asian it was a 47 minute game okay so this recorded game this happened twice now the recorded games seem to be crashing for me so unfortunately the achievements are not loading up so we could cast the game which was good but I can't bring you the achievements I apologize for that guys it just like crashed on me so I'm fairly certain this whole pod will be going to YouTube YouTube I'm just going to take some time because this was streamed to thank people for being here and and give shoutouts but we'll get into game two here in a second let me update the scores fortunately it doesn't seem like the issue with the recorded game is preventing me from casting but might not see the achievement sometimes my bad but you know what I'll tell you yo had more food yo had more wood and yo had more gold and yo had more kills there you go guys I'm fairly certain that he had more of all those resources and stone probably and stone maybe maybe he didn't have as much wood but I think the other res he probably had more of for sure hi t90 first time you were here hey fun at sea welcome yeah he definitely had more stone he had what five castles at the end of that on his way to a sixth t9y official it's okay casting at that level you do is an achievement of its own oh my god ducks that was so I was not expecting this feel strange thank you ducks appreciate it man ducks is Ahmad here so he is to suck up to me that's just kind of how it works so I know it's cringy but he's four he's afraid he's gonna lose his job guys job security is hard to find nowadays on twitch so Javy lows thank you for the two-month risa he said finally able to afford a subscription to Rick myself into community games all right Manuel thank you for two months now just remember it's not rigged okay it's not rigged don't bring that up don't bring that up people start freaking out kappa Rodell thank you thank you great Nardini Thank You juquila thank you everybody for the new subs and yet to everyone who's new today welcome we have a big day of Age of Empires - I don't want to waste much time we'll hop into game - fingers crossed there's no crashes we should be good here you yes we are wait no we're not it crashed hmm well last time it crashed the first time and then second time I tried it it worked so maybe it's every other I saw lan cheese in the chat LAN she's the one who provided me with recorded games so what's weird is everything looks fine so I don't know it's probably something I'm doing on my end watching Rex I bet you it'll work here oh boy um all right well let me look at some of my settings I don't watch recorded games too often but it should be good to go I have the correct mod on hm sorry about this guys obviously this is out of my control klancy are you still in the chat by chance I'm wondering if you could possibly send me the games again you know what I'm gonna do you know what the best way to fix any problem guys he's just restart so I won't restart the stream but I'm gonna restart my program so okay turn it off and turn it back on again so let's let's redo this that's the best way to solve any problem with technology scream at it yeah I'm not going to scream at it I have I have viewers here I don't think you guys would appreciate that your fridge isn't running well I can guarantee you my fridge is running my fridge is good oh you know what it is my hamster wasn't on his wheel get back on that wheel hamster that is your job we have a stream to do geez I we got it now it should work t90 fish will make sure everything works for the 48 hour stream well it's just don't worry everything should be fine everything will be live during the 24 hour stream but it's just this recorded game is not cooperating with me so I toggled on and off a few settings fingers crossed this is good and it's not hmm all right guys give me a moment I'm gonna play a quick song and I'm gonna play no copyright song and I'm going to try and redownload the recorded games and just add them again if that doesn't work I'll reach out to someone to see if they can help me out but shouldn't take too much time okay thank you for your patience I apologize for this this is a bit annoying but we'll get it sorted we get it sorted and I'll be right back you you you've probably heard this no copyright song five million times on YouTube so let's make it five million in one this give me a give me a sack police [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] ok we got it we got it we got it we got it we're fine we got it cool god I can't stay in that song chattin you guys didn't seem to care but uh man I've heard that song so many times ok so thank you LAN Chi can we get some love in the chat for LAN Chi please LAN she's one of the admins of this event and he's been really really solid throughout the whole event I like how he's been coordinating with streamers and all but he happened to show up to the stream and he originally sent me the recorded files he sent me a different version of it I guess and we sorted it out so glad we could be back into the game I do apologize for those that waited on Twitch in YouTube for that and it was out of my control all right here we are folks let's just get the action underway we have game number 2 this is game number 2 in the semi-final between China and Vietnam and the to be two World Cup later on today and I guess later on in the week for you if you're on YouTube we will have Norway vers Finland's which will also be a best-of-seven so whoever wins this faces the winner of Norway and Finland so stay tuned if you have mr. yo in the blue now he is playing as the Mayans in the green we have Koreans four licks and this is arena this is arena and this would be the map that Vietnamese players chose because they lost that first game so again why not save Aztecs for arena you know why not save as text for arena well backed is in the orange he's playing as the Spanish for Vietnam and then we have Malay for red and well Malay are actually quite a good arena stiff and 1p ones I don't know if they're if that power extends towards team games because they don't launch an arena team games too often we'll find out koreans tells me though we could see a tower rush we have seen tower rush in the past I think it was let's see what set was a chat it was it was France and it was Finland and I know that this wasn't uploaded to YouTube but I'll tell you guys Finland tower rushed in a game versus eventually Finland won the game and then there was still one game remaining in the set because it was only two-to-one in the best-of-five but France surrendered like they didn't they didn't actually surrender they they just quit like they didn't want to play the rest of the games like the memes right themselves like I love I love the French players but like the jokes always when if france surrenders like everyone's always making that joke and then france literally surrendered like there was still they still could have fought back and they just said no I didn't like the towers I'm done so I don't know I thought that was kind of funny I'm sure they didn't think it was very funny but III thought it was comical because of the memes but genuinely I do think that we could see a tower rush a liquid tower rush batters way through the walls or tower hop or something and then maybe sling yo as Mayans you could always just boom you don't need to go for any funky towers with Koreans on Reena the issue with the Korean civilization on open maps is that they don't have any eco bonuses they don't have a lot of options early so they tend to just die but on a map like Reena when you have stone walls you could boom up and it's one of the strongest late-game sibs available with their there see geometers their bombard cannons and their war wagons so I guess we'll find out soon enough Mayans of course probably going to be plumed arches they do have the flexibility to go Eagles but probably plumes and then we have Spanish for fact now since this is a wreck this was just played the other day I'm actually gonna speed through the Dark Age just because I don't want to miss the live games between Norway and Finland today but you see a lot of conquistadors from Spanish on arena c9 official why do you hate the Korean people so much stop saying that I don't hate Korean people I hate their Civ okay I like Korean food I like Korean people I like Korean culture I hate the Age of Empires to Civ okay that's all it is it's getting so ridiculous man like if I say in a cast I hate Koreans and then there's a bunch of other things I say you trolls will intentional clip just that three second portion of me saying I hate Koreans or if I were to say something like I love towers when they're placed behind wood lines if I were to say that phrase someone will clip just the I love towers portion and that's all I do I go through my Clips after streams and it's just people trolling like one time I said I have I have large wood and then I started talking about the importance of having a lot of wood on the map I was playing and someone Clips me saying I have large wood so there you go I know your tricks guys I know your tricks it is hilarious so I just kidding I think it's pretty funny and backed is is honest way to fuel H he's got to be on stone then okay and he's going for a tower rush and then we have licks going for a tower rush but I think licks will tower rush backed now is this a tower hop from back if it's a stone wall and then a gate and you place a tower here which backed is going to do he places the house through that way his opponent can't wall that off and then he will build the tower and he can garrison and unguessable this tower I guess in just batters way through the walls man arena arena in towers even the experts know that tower rush on arenas broken now this is a good spot to tower rush for backs because this tower will deny the gold that yo has but yo with the nice quick walls there will keep backed out for as long as possible makes it awkward for back to because he will have to count to tower in his own base now and he can't build as many towers forward I imagine the strategy is just to give one player on each team time so fact is doing this to delay yo and to give red time and then we have the same thing from well hold on a second these fuel age archers from blue from red what fuel age archers he's not coming fast castle well who knows what is happening now a grads gonna have time but he's making fuel age archers I guess he wants to delay licks building more towers well I figured that yo would go fast castle and so it read yeah yos trying to go fast castle into plumes and licks is just attempting to give him time that's that's the strategy choice that's why China's doing this but I find it really interesting that red is going for fuel a genius right now I'm not trying to go fast castle well Lix knows he can't get in any further because backed his tower to block this off and he's now taking the deer so free food like I said Koreans and their food man it's important it's good and what will yo see Kobe like after the towers have gone up because he's had to build defensive towers it's not the best he is one farm he won't hit Castle H anytime soon with this this mining camp was kind of a waste of wood in the end right because he ended up going back here anyway I would have done that from the beginning whoa what is happening here what is likes doing what on earth is this man why are you making another set of walls these are pro players I've never ever in my life in tens of thousands of hours of seeing and playing Age games seen anything like this and we have the semi-finals of the ae2 World Cup and China is building a second Great Wall and Lix is not wasting any time here man he is half his eco doing this and the reason he's doing it is cuz he's slinging and I guess he doesn't want any pressure to come in - better safe than sorry but what on earth is this man oh my goodness well can we get some walls in the twist yet we don't see the wall emote too often because we're casting a lot of Arabia and no one would ever Stonewall in Arabia right but somewhere fat slob is very very proud about this goodness gracious my word well it's worth pointing out that backed is not slinging he's continuing to tower rush and he has caused yo to have quite a few idols yo is repairing his towers he's building walls he has builders inside of his towers so I'd say mission accomplished so far at least four backed and yo Lou Saville okay yos on the way to castle 800 still get to pulling darters and red is wait he has actually sent the archers into the towers from pack so I think that was the strat and he's on his way to castle 8 she'll be there before yo I don't know what you do is Malay if you're expecting my in scope winged archers you probably just boom with more TCS and get to imp that's probably the best strategy and back should consider swinging maybe as well I mean he doesn't have the strongest eco we see a lot of sling but well we don't see a lot of his double stone walls my goodness my goodness now it will look brilliant it will look brilliant if someone tries to siege Tower or someone tries to get through then it will look brilliant but right now it just looks really really weird that that's what if your barber ever says that exact phrase to you you need to get a new barber by the way what were your hairs gonna look brilliant right now it looks really really weird but don't worry it's it's gonna look brilliant just just be patient all the archers from from red attacking luksus villagers Slick's has been taking this gold licks needs to save his bills here doesn't have a tower doesn't have anything I don't know where he's going to go yahwah's stop building his castle so will free up his gold don't get those plumes hey I think lik says it's gonna lose these bills and all seriousness if you're if you have Vil which is like this use one as a distraction so send send Billy he'll be the martyr he'll be the sacrifice here send Billy and then let Martha run you know what Lix could actually run towards yos castle right now or he could try and get to his base near that tower but he could yo could delete some of his walls and it would be worth it for licks to run towards yos castle even though he would run into tower fire yes he looked the guy just sacrificed himself that's the way to go she's still dead though she's still dead she she wasn't the smartest woman she really should have gone towards the castle okay so on a serious note great job for Vietnam I think they did delay mister Yeol I think that you know killing licks his villagers right there great job I am not sure if they expect the sling to be coming in okay they must be expecting it now because back to slinging resources to say my name reddit's on three TCS and he's receiving sling whereas yo is on two TCS receiving sling and used now I'm sorry you some three but he was in castle aged a bit later so that means red has a 16 ville lead at the moment and he's receiving more sling because back does more Vil's so advantage Vietnam at the moment and you know what I think is gonna happen I think red will go the forward castle and assuming this goes up he will click up to the Imperial H and start tripping down Yost Castle so yo really needs to stop this he has to stop this because he has no response to trebuchet oh don't let him stop it Vietnam don't let him stop it oh there's Mackin elevator okay the Macan l should to save the day here assuming there's some decent film micro but yo who's going for the visit there's only four volts remaining building here yo could send more plumes on his own back in all the castles a 65% this changes the game this changes the game there's two bills remaining no gates are you kidding me are you kidding me yo gets the mag and L kill and he will stop the castle from going up at least for the time being so say my name will be in the Imperial aged faster but he won't have a castle what excellent Micro for mr. yo that was so difficult he made that look so easy man that maghen L shot was clutch the plume micro was clutch and he'll be in the Imperial age now and he might be able to done deny this with another Castle Wow and more bills are on the way from red mister yos blocking them from getting here mister yo will try and micro the maggin l he gets to the base of the Mac Adele and it goes for Vil's oh my god that could be the game what a play for mr. yo what a play for mister yo mad canals have minimum range so he'll just sit in this and he's building his own castle in front of this and that changes the entire game right there and that could mean that yo gets yo and China gets to win honestly and it from a position where they were behind Wow yeah look Viet Nam's desperate they're desperate they know they need to get that up they know they need to trip down the O's castles but yo not only denies that but he builds a second castle right in front of it and I don't know if there was another strat for Fred I think he wanted to go immediately into trebs he doesn't have any military doesn't have skirmish doesn't have archers it was that the strat was to get to impressed and go for trebs and now he is to find a play and be really well played been really well played it was the Mac Nell the timing on the Mac canal is what did it if he wouldn't have killed the Mac and L if you would have lost his own and I don't think his plumes would have been able to to do as much as they did there that castles at 79% and will most likely not be completed now yo does not see that red has a new castle here so since she owes unaware you might have to repair this might even lose this and if that's the case maybe a red can get to this one and finish it and okay ah mature is now on the way so I'm ensures the choice for red could go on assure bombard cannon tread good work can also be micro down by yo who's obviously excellent at this game look at look at backed man walling up the resources outside the walls look at this there's nothing else to do I guess with these villagers and all right now mister yo we'll find out the hard way that red has a castle there and mr. yo will raise quite a few plumes but he could be in a tough position verse on adjourn I imagine there's a decent amount of lag between the two teams here so it's risky to micro this and he goes Eagles oh I see well it's expensive I wasn't thinking Eagles cuz it's expensive but he's receiving some sling and I don't know if you noticed but for a moment there looks had clicked up to castle age and then he canceled and he set all those resources to mr. Yeo so mr. Yeo said no don't go college you're useless right now I need your resources and with a leap Eagle then he could run to the base of this and wipe up all the auditors and the traps meanwhile yellow is using his plumes to brave red Zico because he knows red doesn't have anything at home but nice job from red to realize the plumes were there yo loses the castle and that trebuchet is canceled he's unable to create the trip he's housed badly at the moment the Vietnam takes the lead so I think Vietnam would have won the game by now if that castle would have gone up because they probably would have killed jaws one and only castle and Hill would not have had any time to Tex which certainly a game where you could see a comeback now for well I don't want to say comebacks this is a very close match but certainly a situation where yo can push this back but if your opponent will tec switch into Eagle warriors perhaps go Koran bits and that's what that's what red is doing and he will build a castle right where he lost his one earlier and right behind a right in front of these trebuchet x' now does that block the gate that does not block the gates of the unit's could actually run this way if they wanted to yo will lose his castle he has a legal but the castle will go up this time should for say my name and he has a decent buffer of early Karambit warriors yeah the auditors go down that's good for mr. yo and if he kills the trebuchet that can be good as well there we go another auditor going down it's important that yo kills those auditors because his plumes can wreck the cran bits but yo does not have a good position in this game now he is no Castle always building another one okay he's building another one so he has to make use of the plumes he has left and he really just has to produce now he has the resources but about the skill being able to produce them III think that red could be in trouble now that he doesn't have ah matures and he needs an amateur shot or two on these plumes because he's built a four cows now that's getting trapped back what a game we have here guys this is so cool after the crazy double wall strategy since this has been so so cool yo is 31 military it's only 25 red which really should be more with the resources he has yo immediately runs in with Eagles and Snipes the auditors he cites two more hosts tonight three more could snipe four more wow what a play for mr. yo - hang on here rent out of stone so we can't repair this castle any longer and he'll probably have to run back what is legs doing right now just slinging I'm keeping an eye on it but they're just slinging I see that backed is all the way to castle age which I guess makes sense because red has plenty of resources but I don't think he'll be able to contribute there Wow mr. yo has 50 military he has Eagles he has plumed archers and there's a bombard cannon from say my name but I don't imagine that's gonna last very long does kill a trebuchet though now these Karambit scree eights so quickly they only take a path of population space so our population spot so if it says 28 military it's more like 50 these things are pretty strong wants to get rolling hmm well now Eldorado has been completed for the Eagles 100 HP Eagles from mr. Yeo makes them even more tanky and they can get more shots in on siege and that's why they're here the Eagles run in and they'll kill bombard canons look at that three bomber canons down the hill auditors as well you'll micros that ometer and now just patrolling with the plumes man eagles in front patrolling with the plumes yeah that's the engagement yellow one but if he slips up one time if he slips up one time he could lose his plumes but he's just not making the mistake look at the micro from him fantastic and he needs to kill castles he needs to kill buildings needs to kill castles and he's thinking about it a new castle here from red so I'm going to slow this down too to normal speed now what is backed up - I think he'll go imp and consider paladin that would probably be the play here but he's getting scale barding already so I think he will go imp and and go towards paladin look at yos resources look at yours resources this is the power of the sling guys that's insane he of course has his own eco and he is Mayan eco but still I think licks could think about joining in on the fights getting to the Imperial age and go and see challenger we might actually see yo swing lakes resources at some stage say here buddy you can have these back it'll need them what is licks up to saving some food he has plenty of gold yeah I think he'll up and he has more walls these are smart walls to look all right well backed is on the way to the Imperial age while licks is on the way to the castle age so yo could be a pop tier he's 80 military right now verse of 50 of red the red is holding and this should give should give back to time yo added RAM and tried to run in with Eagles but that will not happen that will not work see DRAM blast furnace to man sell crop rotation for yo tons of upgrades on the way eco and military and again his Eagle slide in here and the kills monitors but is yo advancing forward he's not and he's also lost some traps does he have thumb ring he must have thumb ring by now I like this I like the fact he got Eagles here cuz red has all of his military forward running around that's a nice idea could even see a siege tower now make a siege tower siege tower Eagles into Reds base that could be a good situation for it what will licks his composition be what's his ideal composition guys Donna beseech it's got to be siege because mines have better archers and they'd better melee units than Koreans do so maybe y'all will continue with more the same and then full siege from licks that's what I'm thinking now oh look at this back wants to get into licks his bass licks does have the resources to click him right when he gets to castle age huge fight from yo sea drums making a big difference here and like good micro this guy has C gems the meat shield he needs so his boon doctors can get these shots in and the micro against geometers has been almost perfect from yo as good as it can get really considering so much is going on oh I just jinxed him that's all right he saw it he split away from it he's aware it's fine a castle from yo now to pressure fact back just making his nights where exactly he doesn't have a stable so never mind he does not have any Knights whatsoever she has markets he's considering adding trade he's building his tables forward okay see this is why the double walls were made guys this is why the double walls were made and licks will get his second building up he needs University oh the Eagles are in here how did the Eagles get in how did the Eagles get in did it was her an over chop here no can only imagine that the trade probably let him in I think the trade probably let them in through the gates oh god the honors on the front as well you're sliding it again with these Eagles Oh kill more armatures and yo looping around so now with his poem so finally yo starting to unravel Vietnam a bit think back should have prepared more paladin's more Cavalier he's been an in for a while he hasn't done anything with them and this is giving licks time to get to the siege and read lost half a dozen amateurs there maybe more and he just lost a lot of his Karambit warriors as well and say my name plummets down to 130 pop mr. Gill at 180 this is just like game one mister yo is just a tank he's insane and that would have been an intentional move to run underneath the gate and it had to have been the trade car to let him through and even kill the few trade carts there as well when now it's looking tough for Vietnam it's almost like Vietnam of run out of resources the red could lose these castles finally yo is building additional castles that's how confident he is going forward Gill was 90 military and he could he could be into back space here in a second back doesn't have anything to defend from these plumes the crm will take down the house the plumes will run in the Cavalier all forward four back to that doing anything and licks will go Halberdier he's adding ranges as well maybe how pedir are and siege the red reparing castle with the little stony has remaining eagles coming in from yo yet again instantly kills the auditor and the crane but Warriors just can't hold up against his combo and fun fact villagers also die deployed archers and that's what back has to deal with now and yep there's the upgrades now for like so probably will be archers and halberdiers can Vietnam hold on doesn't seem like red can so they've really need to get backed in the game backed where where is he with his military what's he have 15 military I can't find anything on the map when it's orange but 15 is not going to be enough I don't care where it is 15 is not going to be enough first what yo has collectively as a team China has 89 military or 90 military all of that except for one unit is yo and then as a team for Vietnam it's about 40 military and that is 20 a pop 20 apiece and fact is trying to trade with the Spanish trade he's losing that yeah he has some cavalier but I don't think the Cavalier will be enough yo just won't stop with this now he has the resources to send in the Eagles he's killed so many auditors and trebs this game and the micro from the clubs look at that split look at that split micro from mr. yo that was sick that was not against one auditor either that was against multiples not only used his Eagles would split away with the plumes he saw the auditor was there flawless microphone mr. yell 400 kills and 250 deaths but let's not forget the MVP of this game Lix he is 5 kills and 6 deaths guys woohoo way to go buddy I want him to lose 1 unit so I can say it's a 5 out of 7 5 out of 7 game but ok he's cutting into red space now it's over this is over great team strategy from from China was a similar strategy for Vietnam I think it comes back to that castle if yo would not have been able to brilliantly deny this castle I think that China loses this game I really do it came back to that the momentum that red would have had would have been insane after that he would have had the castle here he would have been in in faster so he could have treads down yos only Castle at that point so y ou would lose all that ground and then more castles would have come up from red inside yo space yo would never have been in the position you would have never had the time to transition to eagles despite how many resources he might have been able to bring in he would have lost too much ground than he just would have died so it comes back to mr. yo man like what one is sick performance from him all series really the whole semi-final has been all about mr. Yost so far but that was amazing the initial micro here but the the micro throughout the game after that was sick yo so someone of yos quality is the same with any top-five player right someone of yos quality makes good players look average that was awesome 410 kills for yo and look at the resources Red Hat look at the resources he had now he didn't receive as much sling right he didn't receive near as much sling from back to I think that's cuz back tried to get to imp but Red had the resources he just was was beaten in the battle all right so that is to nail for China a game three will be coming up here in a few minutes in one and a half hours we have Norway vers Finland's then so we have both semi finals today guys thank you all for being here Lancey again thank you for the for sending me the recorded games I'll have to download the other ones in and get this get this set up I think Greg chose a bad combo against Mayans no he chose a strategy which would have worked if he got that castle up he chose heavy on stone heavy on gold TREB push and he would have won but no ultimately later in the game could he have gone well I I don't think he chose a bad strategy I think that Karambit Warriors Cranberry errs on atures is probably the best possible strat is you can't justify making archers force mines when they have plumes and they have eagles right so it really came down to the castle right didn't dude that bad it's really hard to play against someone of Yoos quality with the tools that yo had but he just needed to get the castle off alright let me let me add the the game to the files and then we'll get the next match started these games were played on Friday I was casting community games so I was unable to cast them honestly I feel like it's better to do it this way though because we can go right from this semi-final to the next and the next semi-final will be live I've no regrets especially since the games were played at 7:00 a.m. my time before I was in bed also we don't have to wait as long between games this is good yeah they could have tried to kill green but if they I think that's harsh on Vietnam to say that they really made many mistakes there beyond red just not getting that castle up cuz if they try and kill licks then yo is not pressured and you need to pressure the guy who's receiving sling I think because if you remember yo had a lot of resources anyway so he would have been fine he had he had a hundred bills as Mayans no egrets yes no egrets g9 official why do you think Finland is the best team in the game I did not say that you're putting words in my mouth but I will say that Finland is definitely the best team in the game when it comes to TC dropping on nomads I'm sure most of you saw that that is a fact that is a fact okay well before we start Vaughn schnitzel Thank You Man thank you very much for the brand's new sub thank you ducks a savior for gifting us up to land she'll and she also donated a hundred bits of the stream play and she seriously thank you man you talk so and remember have done the excellent job with this event really appreciate you if you're still there deceased crusader thank you for nine months he said welp it's been a while it has been I thought you were deceased or I thought you were off crusading thank you Matt Mike for the five months I thank you everybody for coming in supporting what I do Game three is come up next should just have ten seconds assuming the game works knock on wood and let's do this that was the best game I saw this year I think well I think for me it's probably not the best game I sold this year obviously it's up to each individual but I think it was really exciting and there was a lot of different things to touch on they're certainly the best game of the day right certainly the best game today oh yes this is what I'm talking about welcome guys we have Game three between China and Vietnam this is a best-of-seven and mr. Yeo has played out of his mind today Italians for mr. Yeo he's here in the blue in the green we have licks he's playing as the Japanese we are on Team Islands guys which is why I'm excited now we have red playing as the Berbers and then we have backed in the orange playing as the italians Berbers is a really odd pick here why not choose Japanese why not choose Malians like teams have been doing I don't know but I bet you we're gonna see a landing landing seems to be the best strat in 2v2 in the ecl it was was it frantic or was it sy I don't know one of the Chinese teams beat secret they destroyed secret it was it was incredible it was a viper and slam at the time with the landing then we saw frantic verse sy or china a verse china be in this tournament on islands they both went for landings that game was incredible imagine if you're new to the stream right now and you're coming in from youtube you probably saw some of these because they were uploaded to youtube so the point is is that landing in the center of players seems to be what the chinese players like to do and maybe vietnam will do the same I'm still not sure on how to counter that because if you think back to Brazil vs. China it was game 5 and there was landing and reott spotted the landing immediately he forced the villagers to reposition he delayed the stables he even killed some units there but China still ended up winning so the idea here and watch them not even transport like I'm gonna explain this whole thing they're not gonna transport but the idea behind the transport is this you have one player if sy does it no probably be Lex you have licks land and he lands right here in between the two enemy players now the enemy team might be thinking about water because it's island so they build up their whole eco their whole build order towards going on water and then they have this pesky guy in the center of them making units and attacking them all and so if licks were to go with something like Scouts for example that would mean that both of the enemy players on this land area or this island would have to make spearmen or would have to wall or would have to consider making their own Scouts or making their own archers so it essentially delays both enemy players and when this happens mr. yo will have a field day with the free boom he can do whatever he wants he can win water he could add T C's he's just safe so I think that's why the strategy works and that's why I don't think you can necessarily beat the strategy because you can't stop the transport from happening you can only spot it transports can be created in Dark Age so yeah I don't know I think that is yet to be decided we don't see 2 V 2 Islands too often so I think over the course of the next year or two a meta will really evolve for it but I've seen landings work almost every time and I I personally think that the best way to beat the landing strat is to do the exact same thing so we'll see now so something to point out is licks is Japanese so his fishing ships are really tanky they have that armor so that's a really nice bonus to have if you are not going to be defending yourself on water your fishing ships will survive longer which means more food coming into you Lix has docked on the front you see the dock on the front for backt he's italians for his team and look they must expect this or already look at that they're already walling up so they prepared have really unfortunate gold for back to tho geez dad that is one of the most unfortunate Gold's I've seen actually because you'd have to I guess you could wall the pond it's fine but yet back to will most likely go all in on water for his team it's clicked up quite early here do we see any transports yes we got a baby we got it licks is building the transport RK now let's see what is what is right up to red is also transporting yes amazing okay so I think that this is the correct approach from both teams go with the Dark Age transport if they're gonna transport you transport them so pretty soon we'll see red load up his transport with two bills on the scalp that's the exact same thing we've seen here now well back didn't see the transport he spotted it licks has this his way of running into uh enemy docks but back did not signal or anything maybe he isn't noticed he obviously expects it now on one hand when he transport here he can only hit backed which kind of sucks but on the other hand if you were to transport in the center backed will have walled and then you just saw the signal from red he says this is where my guys fish is so the non-italian player will be attacking the Italian guy Alliance while the Italian guy goes water and they're both on the sides of the islands as far as I know they've not been spotted so one difference red has built his barracks at home this is a good move if you don't want your opponent to see you build your barracks at home and then build whatever else on the enemy islands there we go yo is currently looking here and yo has not seen this I don't think back to seeing this either this is so cool this is so cool and I think backs will be pretty surprised he's long this up because he expects there to be a landing but landing in the center look Viet Nam's walling they will not be saving themselves that they will not be saving back from this and yo was unaware of this landing man too Islands is so freakin fun it's so fun it's probably awful for the players I just imagine how frustrated do you be when you'd walled this much and then he ends up being behind your wood line I think that would be frustrating but I love it I love it yo who's gonna find out eventually and backed is on his docks at the moment yeah yo seize this now and so can yo wall if yo can wall here and wall here and wall here quickly might actually be fine for a little while so remember he is to build a barracks he is to build a barracks and okay there's a villager there this this becomes very very awkward yo quick walls so the scouts can't get in here he is fighting with his villagers here can read keep this open you always trying to click wall them outs she's gonna die in the process oh and and red is blocking the wall off red is blocking the lawful want to play for Vietnam this is great yo is losing so much yo does have spearmint on the way but man is he idled and now I haven't been looking at backed backed has also been struggling so for deaths for yo two deaths for back so damaged Vietnam but man is this messy so again I think us suspect is we're gonna appreciate this because of how sloppy it is now it different it is but the players it's not very fun I can promise you that much definitely put your skills to the test and oh I like it Lix is going to use his transport hop around the walls I guess that's not something that that say my name really needs to do but he could do that later on as well if his transport survives so we'll keep an eye on this transport licks will send an archery range maybe to the other side and I believe they'll send his Scouts around as well yep take the pigs man free pigs free food it's got to be an archery range guess the downside of that is that the archery range would be separated from the stable but that's normally what I've seen backed has spotted the transport so he can tell his ally and this is the benefit of having your your barracks at your base because you can build offensive spearmen ell and read read his wall so he's okay he's just fine meanwhile he is running towards licks and licks is not prepared for this where his licks his barracks it's on the enemy islands so he can't make Spears so again great situation for Vietnam alex has to build an additional barracks he didn't really use the other one and currently licks is not doing any damage on red but who knows how quickly things can change with that on water by the way for fishing ships for both backed and yo so they've just traded equally there Luke still has three fishing ships but that's not gonna last long even though they're Japanese fishing ships he has no way of defending himself and it is zero fish for say my name so III expected that the water fight will be relatively equal for now but keep an eye on that as this game progresses on water it's very close on water it's very close to has not decided yet but I think that it comes down to how much damage the landings are doing so in theory yo should be behind on water because he's received more damage from say my name and here look at this the transport being utilized again and yo spot this yos aware there's an archery range this is amazing this is amazing man this game is like opening a stocking on Christmas morning you never know what you're gonna get first you get a toothbrush then you get a I'll know stockings are never exciting so I was a bad example but opening up presents on Christmas morning okay presents are more exciting than stockings sorry mom sorry mom I already have enough toothpaste the ironic thing is yeah it's like socks underwear for me soap toothpaste and in a slim jim there's always a slim jim that's just a family thing for me I promise I use the toothpaste after I eat the slim jim so Lix has more presence at the well what does this is likes really docking the sensor if oh sorry I I lifted my hands up off my mouse in surprise if you know if dave was Co casting this at the very beginning he would have said I want someone to doc the center area that's probably the first thing you would have said when I asked him for his input he's not here but we are seeing an additional transport from Lix now yellow can soon build more defensive towers he's under pressure though backed his building defensive towers backed and yo and oh you know what Lex will actually up to castle eight soon yo is not very close what does that transport even do though what would Hugo are you really like what's the game plan Lakes are you really going to try and go underneath I guess he thinks there's just one tower okay I mean he doesn't need to fight underneath here you can and he can kill a pillar - he just needs to really hit back - anywhere and he is unfortunate not to kill - Vil's there but he's delaying him and licks is the first to click up to castle age where's right at right is closed right is close and he's heavy on stone so he might see camel archers but my goodness my goodness what a funny game so the transport worked the transport worked where'd his other transport go didn't he have one out here maybe he lost it who knows oh no it's here he's making use of the transport voice huh quick click abort abort abort cue the Titanic music knows archers and spearmen go down guess he didn't realize it's got to be careful out there there's a few icebergs and fire ships backed again really close to losing bills but saving them he's been quite lucky not to lose filters to these Scouts what will licks build more stable so that means a lot of nights [Music] hmm well red is on the way to Castle age faster than yo is does he still have stone income kind of so if you're gonna build a castle eventually I think you have to build the castle defensively building an offensively sounds exciting but you look like a fool if you start getting towered again and you've no way of clearing these buildings up I would build the castle at home but I believe he'll go Knights and camels yeah he's building a stable at home and he's also going to build a well he still has that stable offensively when yo does hit Castle eights eventually he could build his own castle and he could go for January's crossbow which would kill Knights yo was very late to Stonewall this and he's fortunate because red is not reacted here but if he gets the stone walls up maybe he'll be okay fact is currently winning big time on water for Vietnam 16 fishing ships and he and yo are on the way to the Imperial edge at virtually the same time now Lix does this every time to build forward stables and then when he hits gas late she goes siege and monks though of any red Knights come out or camels come out he can just convert them with the monks it's really intelligent play all right well I'd say advantage Vietnam because of the fact they have the fish boom but I like licks a situation on water a lot and he just lost his transport to the towers did I say licks a situation on water I meant lands I forget well whatever I said I'm just going to say it again I like licks his position on lands and he's even healing that villager that repair villager which is repairing the Magon el this is awesome and this is awesome still no clue who's gonna win this one oh here come the Knights for meadow know where they came from and they get converted what a play what a play two conversions the monks still alive red realizes he is a chance to kill the monks now and I'll go right for them but still but just loses Knights in the process he's losing villagers he's losing control of his land and you have to know there's going to be more monks coming for licks licks is winning on land what is Rhett doing on lands while he's fighting at home he's more concerned with his base so despite the fact that China doesn't have the water this could be great for them as long as Yost stabilizes a bit which seems like he can because Red's not attacking him anymore and then yo gets back on water which is possible still looking rough at the moment and this is a winnable game for us why definitely back has a lot of Navy dough he is 17 military that's all Navy at the moment he is not giving up on water but he will have to if licks just changes direction this is the problem with the landing this is why s why does this I would say if you're comparing licks his team rolls on this map to two other maps I would say that licks his team roll on Team Islands is probably where he performs best because he's always so good in this position he killed some backed villagers who's now land backed has to run away and back to the loosest towers now and back loses two more villagers look at that alex is building a forward stable did you see that he converted the Ville placed as stable back Ted two of his fields attacking hold on a second we need two more conversions likes we need more conversions the nice quick low around his monks because he got surprised by this and perhaps I spoke a little bit too soon that was a lot of red units and now pikemen from back - okay so Vietnam they are gonna hold this for now they're keeping this from getting out of control pikemen and camels could be the answer and also you know what backs could send his Navy here to kill the monks wouldn't be a bad play nights from yo running around just on his islands well I think as much as I was pumping up licks I think Vietnam could have just won the game because all that Lakes had just disintegrated bread had so many knights and camels coming out and boom just like that licks his bush fails and now with the siege workshop he can bust all these units these outbuildings down and maybe red can shift a little bit more on Lance over here he needs to keep his Vil's alive oh wow nice quick wall his bills are alive they're not doing much though backed as the wins the the lead on water at the moment we could actually see another transport back to could transport some units here to hit green because green is no way of defending himself from that I think Vietnam could be on their way to a victory finally this is awesome totally jinxed it though I was pumping up licks big time and then immediately loses his units that's the benefit of having Berbers and they're cheap camels and they're they're cheap nights did Brad lose his veils or did you run he ran Wow he ran away or he sailed away and I was looking to hunt him down and yo signals it oh geez can they at least get the stable up they should get the stable up if they're stranded here now [Music] castle for yo perhaps a sign he wants to win backwater but I don't think he has a large economy now and I think red will soon click up right red will click up to end and what do they do I guess they have to sy has to keep all of the villagers away from here like look these bills actually sailed away yeah they have to keep this from happening if they clear up the buildings that say my name has on their Island they're fine if red hits the Imperial age cuz Reds not on water but if he's able to get some land control which he could still do because of those two villagers surviving then it's trouble then they're rated by Cavalier and they have no answer to that at the moment Wow that he really saved that I thought for sure yo would kill the transport and then kill the villes but he left the transport and went for the bills but the bills ran away and oh no oh my god well that that wasn't too successful was it and of course you know I'm talking about it like wow this is so important man this is so important this is such a big deal red house villagers he's gonna he's gonna land sy uses Imperial edge upgrade telling you man the Kurt the curse the commentator is a real thing two examples of it now two clear examples of it now now now don't hold open the gate please mister yo okay yeah just let the villagers die he's trying to get his gold Fred still has his stable here at least and he can always real and so here he goes with more Phil's this is the benefit of having water control fees because back is controlling water and so his allies should be able to do this at any time backed is on the way to imp red it's about to hit him and I don't like the position for sy now I don't like it on water I don't like it on land and they're resilient team can they find a way to come back from the slicks is on his way up now Lix does not have any villagers safe here right I don't think so it would have been hilarious if you built a transport and put villagers in the transport and was was running around in circles here to keep them alive obviously would have been a waste but I think of stupid things sometimes I apologize [Music] so seat workshop from yo and yos on the way up to yo does have 73 villagers Lix is close to 70 so there's not a huge difference there and it's not as if fact fishing ships are okay well let's be honest they're very efficient but not quite as efficient as they were earlier ah nice job from backs finally having an mvp-type game he is Vietnam's best player and he sees the docks from links so licks probably thinking fast fire while yo is he back docking curious what yo will try here but I'm thinking if they both go water yell would go galleon and then be fires for Japanese [Music] yo did a good job sniping these bills where he could think he sniped every single villager red had their that's gonna be an annoyance Fred a red still has cavalier he can run right by here he can just pass through and hit yo Zico hey yo was making some Genoese crossbow okay well he only has to sorry for Genoese crossbow it doesn't have bracer yet so he'll take some damage but I think because of the castle fire and TC fire he might stabilize slightly slightly so far today yo and lakes have looked very very strong Game one in game twos performance very strong Vietnam they looked better in Game two they could have won the game if you wouldn't have denied that castle and this time Vietnam denied the landing I took some time but they eventually denied landing and already Vietnam adding the markets castling this area they're prepared for this to go late and backed has 43 military units that's all Navy all galleons and it is yo going for fast fire ship okay where does lick stab docks okay he licks licks wants to go galleon so I actually had it backwards but backed is on top of that right now backed as one veto on a lottery but he's doing just fine just wonder what more red consent against Genoese crossbow he wants to get the Cavalier in but he can't I think he needs to transport again you always denying this though I mean maybe transport again around the backside in toz Co maybe transports in the right into licks is eco red actually has transport over here already look slicks is trying to palisade wall and that's not gonna be enough yeah I don't think Luke's can defend from that and I don't see how sy can actually bring this game back you don't have the resources to win water and they're just trying to survive but it is China we saw yesterday for this to watch yesterday on the stream they have this knack for staying in games they're probably out of and at the moment they're really struggling in this one yes these games were played on Friday no I do not know the results so I imagine this has been explained a lot in twitch app but I'll say it again because people were just coming in oh you probably saw China and Vietnam yesterday and a completely different event yeah this is the Age of Empires 2 World Cup this is a semi-final it's a best-of-seven the games were played on Friday but I was cast in community games or sleeping after the exact time they were played so yes this is recorded games no I do not know the results yes chat is always a downer when it's recorded games when it's not necessary these games are still amazing let's continue on guys don't get so hung up on if it's live or recorded games these are sick games well this is a sick situation for Lix I don't mean sick in a good way man I don't mean sick in a good way I guess is this is is bad this is bad he's going house this is it offensive lands move right so again how are they going to get to the Vietnam Island I I think the end is near for China I think the end is the end is near but how did they beat the s why landing how did they beat the China Landing they beat the chine landing by doing it themselves well actually the way they addressed it on their own eyelids is ways what brought them to the position they're in right now I start to engagement there for you Oh back to realizes he'll hit and-run a bit more yo does have 36 military where is he getting these resources from 36 will be mainly fire ships and he has Gentiles crossbow over here but it's Lex who's dead Lix is at a hundred pop I would like to see a little bit more from back to actually like transporting Rams or something they need seeds to kill mixes buildings I think they're playing this extremely safe now they know sy can make it can make the game's long so they're beginning their trade [Music] if you saw the the frantic first sy set that Islands game recently uploaded to YouTube one team ran out of wood so you could actually begin buying wood once you get went you're stockpiling gold with the trade there are options there and at the just denying this corner is a big deal three castles from red is that does that mean he'll go camel archers three castles in this corner my word he's not messing around here yeah we have some towers now sy is just being very stubborn but this is the position where Vietnam need to finish them off like their opponents dazed they're backpedaling they need to apply the killer blow here they've not done so yeah I think it's gonna be coming though now if yo wasn't Italians which enemies crossbow I think this game would have already ended just that cavalier cannot fight geniux crossbridge enemies cross two are insane generally is crossbow in this situation are actually going to be quite good against camel archers - I like the fact that red is starting off with trebs and another castle going up in this corner just trapped down Yoos castles longer you hold this less that's why we'll have trade there we go Elite cannon galleon I like this movie elite cannon gallon from backs is either cedar that right there and now licks has to repair his castle so since I believe this is over and we have the benefit of this being a recorded game I am gonna speed it up slightly of course the players they do not know exactly what we know wait what licks is in the back how did he get here how did he get here then omits like pull otter control man how did he get here he's making Kondo T arrows and Hobbs in side Viet Nam's base this is so typical of China to not resign and to continue to try look at this man I'd say unbelievable but it's so typical from that man it's so typical meanwhile over here we have bombard cans and and Lee Chan oh he's crossbow verse Lee camel archers and trebs that seems pretty close and now fact has to make his on own kind of heroes in defense against this and dread has to build a castle he's probably wishing would have castles the shoreline that's why back to Castle the shoreline up here so landings wouldn't happen halvah deers on the way from lakes across his Island to help out mister yo population is higher than it has been in a while for yellow lakes but it's still pretty bad and he's losing so many bombard cannons which he can't afford to recreate and now yo has definitely lost water cause he's focusing so heavily on his Islands it'll lose his docks he'll lose Zico who loses houses he'll just continue to lose everything and back has also looped around with his galleons to protect this area and while there are a few units running around from lakes it's not going to be enough to end this game still but I say this every time now I know that China's probably dead but the fact that they try the fact that they survive for as long as they do was impressive and it shows you how resilient they are as a team the first two games well I wouldn't say that we're way behind at any point they're obviously very good and he just flat-out win games without ever falling behind but when they do fall behind they are the team like Yellin licks are the two players in the world to live faith to come back more than any team probably it was resilient but look at this man he's trying his best with another barracks backs like nope it's not gonna happen it's yet the end is probably probably near ish surely surely [Music] yellow loses castles to the cannon galleons yo doesn't have docks they are trading the the trade path is not very efficient I'll soon run out of wood yeah they're trading from here to here it's like 20 30 gold per trip what's the price of wood at the moment what's not that costly yet players they're not they're not in desperation mode for the wood yet well galleon for say my name he has more population back does now and what they could do is loop galleons around to deny the trade from the backside this is a problem with islands it's really difficult to finish off games sometimes because you can only have so much population on the map so if you have 60 military and 40 to 50 of that is on water then you're 10 on land is going to be out popped the way to win at 4sy is to win back their lands and then transport and raid and they kind of done that right I mean they they've killed one of Reds castles at least but I don't see how y'all can continue to push this area now that red has galleon I feel like saying my name is just refusing to switch army compositions well what would you like him to switch it to though man against Italian Gentiles crossbow there's not a lot that he could really do you can't go skirm because like calf killed the skirm so it's got to be it's got to be camel Archer probably and it's still not the best option it's I think it's just awkward he was a bit late to get on the water though I agree getting on water is certainly helpful but I believe they realized that they're in a very safe position now I think they realized they have the lead most other teams would have resigned right so I think that's the reasoning for them staying in this and there's the gg now as the camel archers from say my name run into the trade and alright so that is game 3 finally Vietnam gets a win and what a good when it was I was praising licks and then he got rekt he had monks it was a great start right he had monks he had conversions he had Cavalier or sorry he just had Knight but he got he got stomped he got stomped and he lost his land control while red was able to do more with his most entertaining game of the day right there for me though like that that was a really good one I know it was was a bit sloppy but I love these 2v2 Islands all right so will the achievements work well the achievements work yes they will work perfect they worked the last game - I guess so back with more kills he did his role he won water and after he won water they held huge control over this game economically speaking yeah Vietnam had more trade I'm not gonna not a I'm not going to talk about some of these other things it's not that important what is important is that we move along quickly to the next match so I think all probably won't waste any time there guys so to everyone who's been subbing to the stream sending in donors messages all that really appreciate it because we're kind of on a time crunch right now I'm going to move on to the next match that'll be game number 4 the set between Norway and Finland will be live and starting in 15 minutes I think so I don't know how many games are in this best-of-seven so I'm gonna go as quickly as I can I need to download this special recorded file and that will make it work two for China they're probably still feeling pretty good that was a very long game they held on for a long time after they probably should have been killed off after Game one and two they'll realize they have the skill to win this neck this game and potentially the next one my prediction before this series was four to China so we're kind of on course for that but we will see ya pep if you want the brackets you can type exclamation mark World Cup and the chat and then you can go to that link and you can navigate through all the settings and brackets there if Dux is able to or any mod is able to update the bracket to world cup that would be really cool there should be no spoilers with a bracket so we're good there but see all the infos on World Cup if you guys need to see it t9 officials sent you a pic on discord of the only way to spend a Sunday a Sunday afternoon amazing games keep it up if I show that publicly would get my stream banned or is it a picture of you watching my stream I don't know Marv I don't know if I should show up publicly I'm a bit scared I I will check it out man I will check it out guys I need to get into the next match I'll keep the action rolling here I definitely keep it up man thanks alright so game game number four between China and Vietnam and Age of Empires two 2v2 World Cup my friends you alright ladies and gentlemen welcome to game number four between China and Vietnam this is a game that Vietnam really needs to win I think if you fall behind three two one and a best-of-seven it is very unlikely that you'll ever be able to bring that back and win so many games in a row so the first two games went to China a Vietnam is hoping that the next two games will go to them this is game number four and we have team Acropolis now this this version of team Acropolis is slightly different from what you might have seen in the past I'll touch on that in a second but let's introduce the players we have Berbers for yo he's in the red and we have Spanish for Lix he's in the green that's for China for Vietnam we have Mayans for backed and then we have blue who's playing as the Franks Mayans and Franks a very strong combo they have their archers and they have their their Knights it's a combo you see often Berbers and spanish is a bit different if they get to their unique units this would be an interesting one a Berbers and spanish of course can go for their unique units or they can go for Knights a berber could even go for camels so there there are options there team Acropolis is there's quite a fun map I think so when you're on a hill and Age of Empires 2 you actually do more damage so let's say yo had archers here and he was firing downhill against blues units he would do 25% more damage and then any damage output from blue he would do or I guess red would receive or yo would receive 25% less so there's a 50% difference which is kind of huge and the bases are set up so you have that defender's advantage here however while you're on your Hill you don't have a lot of resources you don't have a lot of wood specifically on this hill so going to the back is important I like China's map a lot more because they actually have wood line options in the back they can t see that I mean while you look at Vietnam they don't have any wood behind they have to go to the sides so that's where you'll see players scouting and sometimes you'll see players placing their lumber camp there and at the beginning so that will be the focus and then of course there's the goals to focus on Mel fat but that's what I expect I wonder how Spanish is gonna be played we'll Lex go with a tower rush wouldn't surprise me tower rush into a fuel age eco boom into conquistadors I guess could go man-at-arms towers it's quite easy to have success with tower rushes also something you see a lot in in 3 v 3s and 4 V force on this is a lot of walls believe it or not so the walls are already beginning for licks maybe he just tries fast castle and even yo walling up you need a lot of walls contained a lot of walls but teams could pull it off now you can't wall here so you can wall your hill but you cannot wall from your outer wood line to the hill so if this was a different terrain you could maybe all up the hill but you can't do that so the wood villagers will be exposed for you alright guys so what I want to ensure is that we don't miss Finland's in Norway so I'm going to speed through Dark Age I thought that I would have been able to get through enough games where we could cast the whole best-of-seven fire of course I don't know how many games there were so I was kind of hard for me to judge that I didn't want to spoil myself but you have full walls now for sy I thought the berries were weird toodles it's Christmas bushes man Christmas bushes and the deer Rudolph with Arnie deer rounds yeah there we go there's good old Rudolph leading the way look it in that's why people made fun of you Rudolph it's not because you're red-nosed what are you where are you going where are you going well who can blame the guy I wouldn't want to be eaten either look at that guy that's funny that's funny he's bugged out here yes our back has been trying to push him so a few lights already for blue he'll be going scouts I believe that back to will be going fast Castle Combe darters so I know the speed kind of can be confusing here I I'm loving Rudolph right now this is hilarious fact is just gonna give up on him he deletes his wall okay finally he gets to him licks is fast castle conquistador okay so just to go through the team's again to give you some structure for it yo will go Scouts his ally will go fast castle unique unit or fast castle conquistadors and then si my name will go scouts and then we will see fast castle plumed archers from fact and lots of balls lots of balls so then we'll have Knights and camels for mr. yo and then we'll have licks with conquistadors and then we'll be plumed archers for backs and it will be Knights for or blue so I don't think that the scouts will do all that much they should just cancel each other out here it's important to have them so you can get your walls up it's important to have them to protect your Lumberjacks and yo is already losing some Scout HP the walls are almost complete for Vietnam I think China have already completed their walls yeah they're about to and look at that nice area see this gives yo such an advantage when it comes to wood collecting to lumber camps on the Outer Ring that is so so strong keep in mind Frank Scouts have 54 HP so that should give them an advantage going into any fight but not if they're outnumbered blue needs to run and castle time on the way for back 10 Felix those are some solid cast of times that's what Rudolf can do for you guys now only can we lead the way lead the sleigh but he can give you food so I don't know maybe if Santa cause ever runs out of milk and cookies so we'll go into whoa we got a sling nevermind forget about the cannibalism joke blue is now slinging backed so fact will build his castle and then he will receive sling and will we see the same from yo I don't think so I don't think yo was preparing to sling licks so difference in styles blue will now send all of his resources to his ally is a lie will build that castle in a moment and then yo was playing the standard hook up to castle eight himself so well be Knights and conquistadors versus just plumed archers well slaying is notoriously strong when you're slinging mines and it's probably not something that sy will be too surprised to see but it might catch them off guard because they have no way of scouting to realize it you know I think if they see the stone walls they'll realize but they haven't scouted that yet [Music] okay I thought yo is building a double blacksmith do you guys remember when Tim built the double blacksmith in that one game it's quite rare for players and big level torrents to forget but Tim did that game he built two blacksmiths what's being built here another stables okay so you all will be aggressive with his Knights yeah they won the game - it worked out double the upgrades I think it was a buy one or build one get one free type of deal I think I saw one Groupon so I shouldn't shouldn't make fun of him too much backed built his castle he's he's building tc's and we were the same from Lix the difference is that Lix has an ally in the castle age soon he will anyway and that Ally will be making Knights and blue is slinging all the res he has to backed did they lose the game I was just a test was just a test I don't actually remember if they want it lost I guess too many games the only thing that was notable from that game is that two blacksmiths were built that was the only thing if it was really close and really exciting I probably would remember everything else from it Yost Castle time not the fastest was it not the fastest he's also going to be making Knights which I guess will give Lix a buffer but Knights shouldn't do too much and backed is on his way to the Imperial age already oh you know what this is guys I sold this once from Brazil this is not the plumed archers this is not the plumed archers this is two Eagles this is two Eagles so if I recall it was secret it was a four before secret versus Brazil so it was Viper it was doubt it was tatto it was Jordan I believe verse 3 it's Miguel cheese what was the full Brazilian squad that day it was dope gal playing I forget anyway so what does what this does is it's actually really interesting so the opponent's probably assumed slang and normally you assume plumed archers if they don't Scout the castle location and they don't click the castle to see it doesn't have any ranged upgrades they will not know to expect for Eagles however if you have any civets gonna hold against mast massively Eagles it would probably be Berbers making Castle a tonight's because their nights are so cheap and then you have to consider that licks will have conquistadors so sy will have a huge eco lead if they don't die to the Eagles within the first 10 15 minutes and they probably win the game but they could easily die to that many Eagles in fact we'll get resources from blue who has 44 villagers producing and will make a lot of these and let me see the point of view now ok I think ye o is probably aware that it won't be plumes because he sees the castle but the castle does not even have fletching and seeing as backed as in him there's no way that backed is making plumed archers without fletching by the way the sling to the Mayans thing into Eagles and the 4v4 a killed secret so it worked if you missed that siege workshop from Lix and he is surrounding back to bit so he's forcing towers I like this harassing where he can [Music] Bax doesn't have many equals right now now in the 4v4 it was a double sling so to make these Eagles it's not cheap is not cheap so we had two people slinging in the four before this time it's just one person sending resources backs might NAT NAT might not have near as much and as you can see the conquistadors do alright versus so far back to spending the Imperial age but he's a 10 military and the military has is just gonna die so it's really not a good sign for Vietnam at the moment guys a gram no because it wouldn't be worth getting vodka narrow and fletching to throw your opponents off because of this level investing those resources into a trick which is put you even further behind like he would have had even less equals so it's good thought though but players to this level use every single resource they get to their benefit I don't think the trick would have changed too much either I think that yo and like still would have been making nights and conquistadors so wouldn't have changed how they approach this all that much 60 plus bills for yo and licks I mean they are in a really nice position if you ask me back hasn't done any damage yet and look at licks is micro with these Kong's 14 kills 15 kills 16 kills 2 deaths and he can kill more so sling is often known as a strong strategy but if it doesn't work it just looks silly because now it would just be backed in the game lose forever futile and the other team has stronger economies and they'll just get stronger and stronger and stronger here but let's not count Vietnam out just yet that could get conversions no he doesn't get conversions he doesn't get conversions and he's getting eldorado currently to give his Eagles 100 HP but I don't even know if that will be enough only 70 pop he can barely break out to even hit China's economy here he comes but that should get snuffed Alves and Lix is even so bold as to push with a ram or two this is a great way to keep backed at home he needs to find a hold man he needs to find a hole and get into Yoshiko somewhere this would be the way to go I just heard yo lock the gate yo knows he's vulnerable there yeah I I think that this is trouble for Vietnam Beck's needs momentum and maybe this is the moment nice gates here from Vietnam to trap these unit in here yo and Lex can't run away from this Lix has had 30 kills and 3 deaths of his KD has been so strong he's traded so well and he's getting into the choke points he's sending in more conquistadors as well yo is having some problems here like this can snowball out of control pretty quickly for China if they're not careful okay now back does it 40 Eagles so all of a sudden he's at 40 Eagle warriors so this gets more dangerous to combat and Eldorado's their 100 HP units Lix needs to get this castle up a castle in front yeah look at this it would be three castles he needs to get these castles up to protect him from this again they just need to hold Lex has 42 kills and 14 deaths this game against sling and he could lose some more he could lose his villagers but look how many eagles he's killing he's killing all the Eagle warriors what great play the strategy choice from Vietnam just not working as much that needed to and yes back losses Eagles so yo is fine there I love the choke points that he's been sitting in in between the gold and the castle now so the Eagles can't surround him backed has 44 kills and 76 deaths a negative KD when he hit the imperial eight well before everybody else he just couldn't deal with the castle eight units that licks and you were able to create I'll tell you what though if let's say licks was or really any other sieve there's no way he could hold like Castle age conquistadors they have the mobility to run away from Eagles into micro against Eagles and they have amazing base attack force equals and now you owe us on the way to imp so when she o gets cavalier as well this is probably over man okay Eagles got in I don't know how they got in actually I think you know what yo might have deleted that house to send the villagers out here to build the stables and then the Eagles got in but I still think eventually backed will lose the Eagles and UO will still be in the Imperial aged look at licks 77 kills 21 deaths so strong now sit between the house and the barracks or the two houses yes that's perfect that's perfect and now the Eagles can't approach him as easily what a great game from Lakes really nice conch micro he was essential for press y in this game and how many military units the co have only 11 it's not a crazy amount fact is is back up to 40 I mean the sling just will not die but what yo needs is to send his Cavalier into sniper trebs we're not Cavalier yet they're Knights Vietnam have to know now this is unlikely yeah the trips will go down that's worth it clues the Knights for it flicks keeps his castle up and now Cavaliers on the way for yo and I think the end is near in this game for Vietnam best-of-seven though so they will have another opportunity after this and I'm a bit torn on what to do here what time do we have you guys can probably tell them in a rush we have 30 minutes until Finland and Norway starts well I guess worst-case scenario if we have two amazing walls from blue by the way I think worst-case scenario if we have to we can always cast the remaining the remainder of these games afterwards but you know if that's why if the next game is a quick one and that's why I win then that would be the best-of-seven and I'm I'm positive that China will win this one really hard for me to follow back to military against red there we go he goes towards yo but that can't kill this man just can't kill it berber Cavaliers are so cheap gasoline out for yo to protect that vulnerable area kill that well-played and soon licks will go to the Imperial aged so he'll have elite conquistador available to him as well as more armor upgrades available yeah licks clicks up party olives says this is all because you are too busy casting me failing at straggler tree nothing spoilers man spoilers don't spoil it now I don't think I'll actually upload that one that was a struggle for you though what a game from lakes though look at that KD that is not easy to do I know conquistadors were seagulls looks easy but it's not man he's always been on the move hitting and running drive-by conk shooting this entire game keeping his castle alive yet again he is 45 conquistadors that is not easy to do he's been booming up with zone eco he is the most eco in the game quality performance from licks here where does other conquistadors go up here they are kill the tribes two groups now if he backs up to the hill we'll get yellow in front and I i if vietnam doesn't call the gg here i'll be surprised but they will probably call it one licks hits it his back will lose all these eagles but the way looks is playing why go Eagles verse Spanish well it's a strategy right and as I said it does work but I think that he didn't get enough momentum early on to flood to flood Lakes so eventually yo got enough Knights and there was enough conquistadors from licks and they could trade nicely versus but yep there's the gg it looks really it's so easy to judge after we've seen Lex's performance it's so easily say well yeah confuse doors kill Eagles man but again I saw secret I saw Viper and code I to this same strategy so it quite literally comes down to when you're swinging you have to do damage early and licks and yo did an excellent job at keeping backed away from their economies for the first five even ten minutes of his time in the Imperial age so I'm not a huge fan of the strategy but that's only because it didn't work you know it could have worked I think if you want to do that don't don't waste your francs pick on the sling go for Turks or something or go for Saracens you know like I guess then your opponent would immediately know what your strap will be when they see this if you picked but it's sad for Vietnam know that they won't have Franks on a more open map or Franks can be very important all right so as I said in about a half hour we have the next set coming up between Norway and Finland let me double check him I'm correct on the time am i getting this off by an hour now I'm correct on the time so I think we should we should cast the remaining game or games like I I'm not lying to you I truly don't know how many games are left if the game is a long one I'll just speed up these games were played Friday and they're recorded matches and I wanted to cast them all prior to the live set we're gonna see soon so does that sound good guys does that sound good because otherwise we just sit here for 27 minutes so probably the best decision to just cast it I guess if it sound good you don't have to watch I guess I forgot I'm not holding you holding you guys here so hopefully you stick around I feel really bad because there's been some donations and Rhys ups and and all that and normally get to that but call me rush 90 I'm in a rush right now Sam and dinner for a winner no you can't leave man your salmon dinner you can't leave everybody else get out of here okay you this is perfect I left live games at three one on Friday there you go man there you go I did it for you transferring this recorded games a pain in the butt I had to get different version of it so guys we're 2,000 viewers right now does that make me a 2k plus caster does that make me a 2k plus streamer or am I still a noob genuine question cuz I did hit over 6000 in a hidden cup does that make me a 6k plus caster now everyone's like nope nope nope nice try nice try 290 all right I'll find a different way okay I'll get there you you boom oh we have bad winds alright so welcome guys to game number five this is in a best-of-seven in the semi-final of the AOE two World Cup this is between China are the sy players and Vietnam or the Vietnam legends players and we still have yo and licks first a CCM and wait a CCM sin there's been a substitution a CCM Xin oh thank God I can cited players name I don't have to say well you know what I don't have to tell introduce them by their color anymore all right well let's go let's go Vietnam for helping me out there I appreciate it man we have yo in the blue yo is playing as the Indians which is by far the best sit for this map and then the second best tip for this map is Chinese which is why both sit was a both teams have chosen those civilizations Lexus and the south of his TC we have a CCM playing as the Chinese right next to mr. yo and then backed is always hiding somewhere okay and he's not far away from licks and he's Indian so the Indians Chinese players are on same side we have Indians for fact we have Chinese for licks and then vice versa we have Indians for yo and then we have Chinese for a CCM all right well I should probably introduce the map there's got to be someone out there who's confused by this as you can see there's a lot of shore fish this is a nomad style map so you start without a town center and then you have to place it where you see fit and then you use the shore fish for food and you might be thinking t90 these nets are are moving awfully slow why are they going Shore fish instead of this tasty bore well I'm glad you asked haha sure fish that just gave me deja vu right there I probably said this a million times villagers collecting Shore fish is the third fastest food source in the game villagers collecting boar is actually slower now Indian villagers collecting shore fish is the fastest food source in the game because they have this bonus which is another one of their little Opie bonuses it's situational the fishermen were 15% faster and carry +15 food so that means it's ridiculous you can up the futile age with 15 population it's nots so that yo can be very aggressive first acc em with that fast-food income and then we could see the same from backed if he knows that that licks is here Chinese they start with six bills so naturally they'll build their TC faster they'll have a few more villagers which is why the Chinese is chosen but they don't have any direct bonus towards the shore fish and if you're wondering what the second-fastest food income is it's Mangal hunt now there's no Mongols here and there's not a lot of hunt so it wouldn't make sense to have Mongols I know you guys have probably heard this explanation a lot the meme is that dave always explains bad ones he's not a fan of that meme by the way you gotta be careful with that he's not a fan of that but and no Dave here and what you'll you'll find his players will Scout with their sheep and at the moment fact is doing that and he has already figured out that someone's down here if you scale with your sheep if you lose your sheep you say hey Ally what's the deal did you take my sheep there they're like no must be an enemy that's that's exactly what goes down and now back to knows that licks is right next to him and so yep he signals it and so he's thinking all right maybe I need to be more aggressive maybe maybe I mean he could well there's other options if you want to play passively that's fine but I think aggression would be smart here for the Indian players because they can advanced a few lage so quickly and then you look at at yo and yo is aware that a CCM is here are their nations in AoE two with no bonuses to anything as far as eco bonuses yes as far as eco bonuses yes that is why a lot of people ask me 8090 why are Vietnamese not good why to 90 why do pros not like Goths and there's other sips as well and the answer is normally they don't have an eco bonus because eco bonuses are so important for civilizations and Age of Empires 2 so I'm gonna speed this up a little bit two licks and yo hit fuel age and so China is advancing to fuel age faster than Vietnam backed has already scouted that licks is here and yet he's going up later to the next stage oh man and he'll see his opponents on stone - he can't defensive tower I don't like the strategy decision there from either Vietnamese player because I think the aggression is going to be coming in hot from China goth has an eco bonus and it's awesome what's what's the Eco bonus what's the Eco bonus that did I miss something look at this the tower goes up can yo all these fills in oh oh you dirty dog yo don't do this don't do this a CCM you have to run a CCM you have to run you would have to wall this side but if he wants that side these villagers are stranded and they all die oh no okay well fortunately for a CCM you realized that sneaky move from yo a CCM just gets out of there in time but what can he do he can't build defensive towers against this here come towers from Lix fact is losing access to his Shore fish his precious salmon he's losing access yet to this pond to this pond he has to scramble up a tower and his gold now that he's in futile but attempting a fast castle on this map is extremely risky you will lose a lot of map control but if you get there and in fact will soon click up then maybe you could push it back with Mac & L's you could use the mobility of Indian camels he adds the resources right now where he could actually click up if he gets his buildings but Lakes is also going Scouts there's a lot of time for them to do damage now and man I just feel like this this doesn't make any sense from Vietnam oh and licks licks could do it here he's trying the same thing yo just try it on the other side yo was close and I think this will be successful for licks actually the outpost is there back to would have to run to the left you have to delete his own outpost and run yeah he'll make it but now where's he gonna go with these fills such a greedy style man such a greedy style so considering the players are so close Vietnam will be kicking themselves for this yo was fighting with villagers still building more towers as fighting an archer that's there with villagers and he will win that and he'll probably build an additional Tower here in a moment and a CC I'm knowing that runs away is fortunate not to have lost anything yet I backed has these villagers running around and they're gonna well some of them could die to Scouts oh my god and and ACC I went back to have not clicked up to the next age yet so their plan really hasn't worked they still haven't clicked up there's a tower from yo which will deny the wood red and orange is so hard to follow on the mini-map okay back to finally on the way up yo might not be able to press her too much more with towers but I'd say he's probably feeling good that he's been able to deny so many ponds you do not want to rely on farms on this map and AC cm is getting forging for his Spearman yeah I guess he is and that's not a good sign for him he will cook up now as well oh he doesn't have his no he has his buildings there we go so maybe there's a chance for Vietnam maybe there's a chance for Vietnam licks doesn't have the food to cook up yet but he has a lot of shore fish so keep that in mind shore fish here shore fish here so that food count will spike pretty quickly he's making archers and he'll continue with that yo we'll probably go for camels in the next stage Yost towers have slowed down a CCM will being cast lates looking to push that back what Kenny what can he do though okay he has some archers Tohoku crossbow so both Chinese players going with archers ACC I'm getting to the outer ring now there will be no extra T C's for Vietnam in the next stage because they don't have the stone for and I love that move from ACC n that was so good he realized the next tower was gonna go up and so he sat in front of the tower there now he's just unfortunate to not have killed bills and you know what now I'm not liking the move that much because this tower from yo has killed most of his archers there and theory though was a nice move oh god he loses two bills he'll lose four bills in total here and what I predict is we will pretty soon see Castle H click for licks and yo yeah licks is closed yo is not very close hmm I'm really struggling on how to judge this one cat the moment a CCM is going to lose access to his gold but he can get to this golds he can make camels and nights they're just defending themselves Bakht has to military just doesn't have food income Oh guys he doesn't have food income to the point where he'll have to build a market and buy it it's because he doesn't have the shore fish he doesn't have any safe Shore fish income at the moment so he can't make the camels and he loses this pond and licks his following every camel that arrives with spearmint so once crossbows in four licks I think I think packed could be in trouble I think he could die to that right AC seems a bit stronger he has more Shore fish available he has his gold available but even he doesn't have many upgrades on his camels and their spearmen here from yo and yo sees that a CC Amazon an unprotected wood line two so math Spearman Nell and mass towers from Yale even getting the forging upgrade licks is probably saying I'm ahead on this side man I'm about to hit the next stage and back to will die to me here so just hold that side don't take any losses and yeah well the pressures of a CCM space this is what I expected man players are so close together if you try and fast castle you're gonna lose all your map control you're gonna lose your pond control you'll lose your gold control and he can stop the towers he's building a market now as well to balance out his ego because he'll lose his gold and it almost seems like a foregone conclusion now is now that Lex will get crossbow and bodkin backed can't defend himself from that Lix can soon build a forward castle I prefer to see him build tc's get even more of an eco lead on on his opponent and more towers from mr. yo what a play from yo what a play from yellow his tower stalled out for a moment but you know he kept his five ills alive over here denied the gold denied this gold now he's still in futile age he'll deny the shore fish completely surrounding a CCM space a CCM is running further and further away from this normally what you do in Vietnam his position is probably do your best to counter-attack I've not seen any counter attacks land backed has a few weak camels running around nothing to hit actually he did hit something here he killed one Ville and okay ACMs killing yos bills on his wood line this is this is what Vietnam need try and stabilized economically and counter-attack with the castle age advantage they have but yo still has more filters than a CCM after losing those think the worry for Vietnam is that backed will die I think the worry for for China is that yo will die yo needs to get to Castle H and make his own camels and he's very very close I'm kind of new here but I heard from the chat that you're doing a 48-hour nos 14 Powerforce nothing stream soon chat is lying to you man but on a serious note the the 24 hour stream schedule is below the stream there if you guys are interested in what's going to be happening on Saturday I like the cowboy tradition that's sneaky but odds are he's gonna forget about this and the CAV Archer will go down yeah the cowboy sure can't hang out so much blue and red surrounding the Vietnamese players so much blue and red it's crazy man fact is at 42 bills he doesn't have food income he's relying on farms and meanwhile it's two TCS four licks he's at 47 pills soon we'll be three TCS and he has all the military moments Lee he is way ahead of fact it's not even close not even close with pop and look a forward TC even this guy just doesn't care are we at the point where licks just goes to a CCM I seed the signal from yo he's probably saying come here yep and that's what's happening Lix is going right to ACC M an ACC M beyond that one counter-attack hasn't been able to do anything either in some games it was it was a strategy choice like Game one for example I'm still questioning for Vietnam it was really peculiar for them to do what they were attempt to do what they did this one it wasn't necessarily the sieve it was the strategy as well at least have one person at least have a CCM pressure an early futile I think goes Scouts but if you both wait for Castle age you'll be overrun like this and even though licks and yo were later to Castle age they've still been able to overrun their opponents that bold TC has been slowed down for now but even still the position for lakes is way way stronger but yos in a weak spot at the moment but he's in a great situation when it comes to map control he's denied a lot of resources but he's only at 40 bills so the later castle age time for him was a bit of a bummer because he's he hasn't been adding more filters for more TTS like a CCM has been so licks and a CCM they're leading the way for their teams right now an ACC em is Chinese if you get to castle up could maybe go to canoe pikemen Ram and he could 1v2 with that maybe maybe Licht has such a free boom though guys Lix has really turned it on man like when yos not their licks is their last game was all licks really well played with the conchs probably one of the more impressive games i've seen from him recently one two three will be four is it five five TCS for him seventy three villagers for him and he will did he get a conversion I can't even tell because of the colors yeah he got a conversion but he lost his monk in the end so what time are we at guys we have eight minutes until the live set starts can I speed this up i guy I you could probably already tell I've been in a rush can I speed this up to see what happens okay so I'm gonna speed it up I feel really bad for not being able to time this appropriately but we will want to see the live games between Norway and Finland so to my thought here and I'll speed it up and tell you what my guess is my thought is that Lakes builds a castle and just rolls back and yo will do just enough with his towers to hold against a CCM and be stubborn enough and licks will probably win this game for his team if he doesn't win the game with the first wave in him I think what he could do is actually give yo enough time to stabilize and then push back against a CCM so we'll do 90 speed this is fine I would like to have a snack before that the live set starts because I've been casting with very little breaks in between games today but yeah Lix is on the way to him he'll just Rev that down back does not close a CCM is not close yo was still being stubborn yep yo was playing his role here and he's even getting guard tower yep just being as annoying as possible I like it and about 60% of the map is in China's favour at the moment Indians can't be to canoe help it really can't be to canoe how virtue canoe Ram it's really tough and that's probably incoming fact is on the way to imp and so is a CCM okay okay okay this this is going so fast can't really analyze it so and that was just my guess is he streaming windlance live yes I just said I will be streaming wins ones live more castles backed would have to go bombard cannons I think bombard cannons Kerr maybe I guess he could try camel I don't know about that though here's the seed ram upgrade from lakes so yo will be in an equally awkward situation to to box or two backs so he goes camels and pikes but who will die faster both will back to die faster over yo die faster that's what decides this see see how yos population has spiked up he's done a great job to get his pop back up 120 bills 145 pop meanwhile backed is well he can't relocate his eco he's kind of trapped here and oh my god oh my god that's a lot of bills oh boy I think that China I think yo Alex will probably if this continues be waiting in the finals for whoever wins between Norway and Finland today his box getting Imperial camel really wait out of what stable now the gee-gees called never minds okay so we got that correct I apologize because this will probably be on YouTube I want to upload the whole set to YouTube I apologize YouTube I I guess timing wise this ends up being perfect but I would have preferred to not have to speed through the games and I apologize to the people who are here as well it's not the normal nice stream they just played super early on Friday and other I had other things going on happy to have casted them though I think that it's safe to say that s why deserved it or China deserved it they were the more solid team on every different map as well the game that they lost they played really well in and it went to post Impe so Vietnam they had more shaky starts that game won this game as well I didn't like so China gets the victory so up next we will have the set between Finland and Norway that will be starting live
