Best Players in Forts? (Forts Pro League Semi Finals) - Forts RTS [169]

[Music] hello and welcome to the forza pro league 2v2 semifinals here today we're going to have cronkinator and 42 scientists versus bobareto and mateo let's hop right into it and we're off yes here we are in the first semi-final in the playoffs for fourths pro league season one the best 2v2 competition there it is for fords and we have on the blue side breto and metto the huge favorites to win it all they are on the on our left side and on the right side we have cronkinator and 42 scientists trying to beat the monstrosity in the enemy side it's gonna be interesting to see the 2e2 uh up and down meta evolving in this match as you can see barbaretto and matteo going with the usual uh strategy support from metto it seems and the vibrato with the workshop already down this is a a as we say a tried and true strategy very powerful especially in 2v2s you have one player who's going to be the big heavy-hitting damage dealer that's going to be bobaretto up here on top he's going to be going with swarm missiles and nukes his job is just to fire as many nukes as possible and try to land them now his teammate on the other hand below mr mateo he's not really out to deal damage he's going to be building flack he's maybe an emp depending on how they want to play this all he's going to be doing is clearing out anti-air and preventing the other team from defending against the nukes that barbaretto upon top is going to be launching as we can see the sniper war already started interesting to see that 42 placed an unguarded sniper the advantage of that is uh you actually can shoot first but as soon as the enemy has the door sniper you are having a hard time to trade or even just keep your sniper indeed the door snipers do beat the unprotected snipers but unprotected snipers are always so tempting because they're just so fast you can react to anything and just punish immediately yeah but it seems 42's aim was not on point he chose to shoot the turbine and didn't actually know the sniper is below the core and not on top of it on the balbareto's side so he missed the shot and lost his sniper but he rebuilt it and here are the rockets i'm actually curious to see that he went straight rockets as opposed to flak when his teammate is going for double warhead double nuke i'm not sure if they smelled that 42 is also going for rockets in the rocket rushes the speed is everything because once you shoot yours and the enemy has no anti already they are just kind of doomed the whole game yeah and we we can see that's exactly what's happening here those two rocket launchers have basically shut down both players for the right-hand side uh 42 scientists has lost everything and cronkinator is trying to recover he's taken some damage it's not looking good for him and those warheads haven't even launched yet the anti-air for a crown conator did defend the the rocket salvo this time around but it's it's too little too late the damage has been done team two has been reset to the dark age as it were team one they're just doing whatever they want and right now what they want is um just to prepare to fire a bunch of nukes i i think i think they're gonna get away with this interesting that 42 is run for exposed minigunners it's hard to blame him at this point he's taken so much damage he's lost his technology he doesn't have any other recourse at this point and he doesn't have repeatedly income to spend on oh very well played by cronkite or uh timing his flag and uh maybe the machine gunners to uh self-detonate one of the barbarettos nukes think kronk would have died if both of the nukes hit him absolutely managing to save himself by sending the nuke back from whence it came but i don't think it's gonna be enough like it's a clever it's a it's a clever play and it's it's the only thing that kept them in this game so far but they're still so far behind 42 scientist is he has no technology he had guns and miniguns i assume because he had lost everything and was just trying to get anything done even if it's such something as trivial as miniguns he at least drew a few shots away from his teammate who is still making an effort to participate in the game but this is you can see metal is yeah we can see metal is just building more and more weapons more and more energy production at this point is his uh signature that once the armory pressure starts from the team and they have no the enemy has no anti-air he just builds more and more weapons and has a such nice apm to keep up the constant pressure with weapons upgraded weapons cleaning house with the shotguns focusing the good places with the smokes and just spamming the rockets indeed it's working very well for them this is very well coordinated it's nice to see oh crocodile trying again yeah with it with that nuke it didn't send it back down to grounds it didn't damage barbarito's base as it launched but it did defend cognator once more yes as you can see maybe that flak automatically fired couldn't really do anything against the nukes but as you can see the skill level of the players they just time it so right that even though they are so uh they have so much uh less map control they can still defend against the top weapons from team blue indeed it's it is both painful and satisfying to see 42 scientists uh just trying to build all these machine gunners all of them exposed and all of them getting sniped it's really smart by him to change everything to background bracing so the rockets doesn't collide with his base 42 coming with a manually controlled machine gunner to save his teammate exposed it is but does the job yeah it that is that is how that often works that's this this is exactly why we very often do not see machine gunners hidden behind doors they need that extra speed they need as painful as it is to lose all of those gunners so easily if you don't you just run the risk of having the nukes get through and that's just unfortunate for your team yes at this point maybe they are banking on uh the core damage that they did to bobrato and also cronkite going forward going for the munition plant but i'm not sure if he will be able to finish his weapon he manages to survive just a little extra foundation keeping himself alive as you can see he does actually have some internal bracing the extra stability yeah keeping that forward intact despite having a particularly rough moment there would accession actually blocks the incoming nuke 42 is basically a machine gun factory at this point machine gun factory yes yes he's trying he's just i think at this point a punching bag and trying to do whatever he can to keep trackinator alive and it's he's he's succeeding oh the splash damage from the noob hitting the door actually reaches the four and cronk was on half hp yeah that was that was inevitable and here comes the end all right so on the left hand side this time we have cronkite and 42 scientists defeated in their last match this time we're in abyss abyss 2v2 which definitely some strange strategies we're going to be seeing out of these facing off against matteo and babareto on the right hand side it looks like all players are going for the typical typical expand upward first tactic on this map in order to expand and gain additional minds of any kind you have to either go up or down and no one really goes down despite being shorter just because in forts turbines require elevation you have to bring them up higher above your core in order to make them more efficient so rather than move downward players will move up so while they cost more does mean they don't have to spend the additional the additional metal on turbines later on [Music] pour turbines already getting focused by the snipers it seems like an ai game the sniper's hitting the turbines constantly we've seen that a lot in ai games but in uh human player games it's just it's just more of a cheeky little slap as opposed to anything else it's just i'm here to have some fun and be a little bit disrespectful as opposed to anything else it's always just fantasy interesting to see that uh it demonstrates matthew's aim that he actually shots the turbines at first shot like his aim is on point even against turbines not just against enemy weaponry indeed 42 with the machine gunners into upgrade center i believe we're gonna see some mini gunners coming out we very well might uh yeah those are indeed going to be mini gunners minigun is actually pretty strong on this map yes and they have eagle eye at their disposal so i would imagine they are going to go mini gunners with eagle eye oh oh that could that could change this very quickly both players going mini guns do we have the ap snipers already snipers are not here yet it's gonna be all about the snipe being accuracy from uh team red okay yes this is very brave 42 scientists with the exposed mini gunners it's gonna make for a uh an opportunity for red team to come back in this as you can see as you can see these these mini gunners are getting picked off one by one those are expensive you can't replace them easily especially with a rush like this where you don't have the economy like those those mini gunners are just about completely shut down yeah it was a poor choice to go this fast without sniper supports or even some some doors maybe on a few of them on the other hand kronk went with only four mini gunners but all of them have their respective doors you can see the difference in effectiveness all those gunners are still active and dealing damage yeah you can have fast fast weaponry if you don't have it you know one minute later so i believe cronk did way more damage with his three or four mini gunners than 42 did with his six yes now one thing i did want to note we mentioned earlier before the match started that you can build swarm missiles here and you can see they they are built in an ace or missile position that's not usually where you built them usually these war missiles builds for the bottom right team are built uh lower that way you don't have to portal them out it looks like barbaretto here is going to be portaling out his swarm missiles which is an interesting decision that's gonna require a lot of energy production indeed most of the time we don't see portals in these higher tier matches just because they're so expensive i believe he's gonna have only one we see the first activation all of the eagle eye ability even if this doesn't eliminate anyone in particular which it doesn't seem to does survive the sheer amount of damage dealt the repair bill is extremely high we're talking about costs that's uh that's a pretty hefty cost cost right there that team two is gonna have to pay just to stay in the game yes i would probably try to focus one of the players fiverr uh drunken 42 oh matteo just lost his thermize then that's actually gonna be uh blood in the water yeah those mini gunners are going to immediately target the economy that's gonna put mateo in a rough position where he has to defend that spot completely or he's just gonna end up end up spiraling spiraling out of this game the weaponry is ready for uh team two the firebeam uh nuke combo so now it's just about the portal for a vibrato to bring those big boy rockets or warheads out [Music] machine gunner is doing a lot of damage with this money i think they have very well the possibility to uh kill the incoming nukes it's about timing this point or team rat has to time their weapons so that uh the machine gunners or mini gunners are on cd indeed uh alternatively oh here comes the explosions oh those fire beams are in a rough spot get one more volley wow that's a lot of damage that base mateo's base has been turned into swiss cheese everything is damaged yeah selling his technology so he can pay the repair bill and also he doesn't lose it because that would be a big explosion yeah mateo may not be able to survive another volley like that the first volley he managed to survive by selling his his earlier technologies and this one he survived by selling his later technology he has nothing left to sell my first wave of nukes coming out there's a fire beam cover and yeah blood timed well-timed mini gunners from 42 destroyed and also sniped uh by kronk the fire beams from metto i think he lost one of them that's a huge loss he will not be able to rebuild them as he has managed as he decided to sell off his his technology just to pay the repair bills that this is the minigun rush not oh oh this is bad for matteo straight up core damage with the ap sniper it's not getting better one more shot and it's done he barely holds on just barely survives that i think if that would be any other player than battle it probably would have been clear that his apm is insane to spam the wood in the front of his core he survives one more salvo but there is a huge core health advantage for team blue now oh the nukes are about to fire again they've got one more chance and it's shut down too much anti-air too many machine gunners too many many gunners for 42 scientists the news lovely timings by by team blue i am killing basically everything uh it does seem that barbarito and mateo did practice his map a bit i just want to point out the uh i did want to mention this uh typically on this map when you launch missiles you can launch them below below the world and they come up from below where things like those mini gunners will never have line of sight you can just completely invalidate it by never sending them directly across to your opponent i'm curious to see that vaporetto didn't make that happen despite oh here comes another wave the explosive miniguns thought ap snipers didn't huge damage yeah both players survived this time oh it's a little rough the integrity of matteo's base is kinda low uh yeah it's a good way to put it i think that is a good way to put it yeah you see those miniguns they have direct line of sight the fire beam protects them for a time but it's not enough i am curious yeah this map allows for uh cheeky uh warhead anglers and dobreto just negated that with his uh portal placement or or a warhead placement i think he's realizing that now and he's he's going to try to put it back to its yap there it is he can even add a bit more angle on that to make a dip underneath even further is you have a lot of space down below into the abyss that you can send that warhead the lower the better exactly and this you can see sorry you can see 42 space is super vulnerable from from below and because the spam in in front of his core some of the machine gunners will never be able to shoot a warhead coming from below it looks like it's not only just vulnerable that can be one shot i think we'll see here in a moment not quite enough it's better but it's not quite enough actually the projectile is not dying right away to the fire beam so it they actually go through and uh do some serious damage to the projectile so it cannot really come even close to 42's base that is oh here we go again another wave of explosive miniguns meta is prepared with uh some metal in front of his floor oh the cheese the swiss cheese base it is so satisfying especially in a slow mo to see all of those miniguns just eating away at the base everything is damaged i'm curious to see that he isn't adding more energy shields on there like i realize that they're expensive and he doesn't he doesn't have the money right now to buy the energy shields but he can work toward them rather than investing in metal he can add an additional turbine and just put an energy shield in front which can uh invalidate most of those machine guns many guns there's the timing was perfect or shall i say bad timing from 42 i think a little bit of both this time 42 didn't have the benefit of using all of his mini gunners uh unfortunately all that has managed to do is anger anger the explosive miniguns and away goes matteo for those who are unfamiliar your commander ability is charged based on how much damage you take and how much you receive uh so barbaretto managing to land the nuke uh pretty much just sealed their own fate as it enables the cronkinator to fully charge up his commander ability reload all of his miniguns with the those explosive rounds and just return fire with an unabated vengeance yes and because the fast reload of the commander ability matter was not able to repair his defenses he was really prepared for the first solo but the fast second salvo caught him off guard and just destroyed his defenses that was brutal and satisfying in all the best ways yeah we have a series on the other hands oh that's a bit early fire from uh 42 indeed you guys can see right there was a perfect example the top control group of miniguns at that angle just does not have the firing arm but they cannot aim low enough which is disabled just having the portal down below has effectively disabled half of the anti-air out of 42 scientists so those shots are landing those warheads he's taking hits now yeah that was the last shot from bubrato trying his best with the series tied one to one it is anyone's game so make sure to hit that like button leave a comment below with which team you want to win and make sure to subscribe so you don't miss the next episode here and we'll see who comes out on top but for now i'll see you guys [Music] later you
