Jordan vs Yo Master of Socotra 2 Semi Final Co-cast with T90Official

here we go game number one change this as well to a best of seven since this is the semi-finals of master of sicatra and we're gonna have jordan facing up against mr yo missio taking out the viper on the way here jordan honestly can't remember who he matched up against i know i cast it but i can't remember and yo is going to come forward with the portuguese right away start laming haven't seen the portuguese that often in this matchup they're not terrible though it's another kind of archer civilization that you can go for tatars seem pretty good too jordan went over all their uh bonuses when we were casting together uh viper set and having a little bit of extra food on all the hurtables is great having free thumb ring is fantastic um getting extra goats when you make tcs is great and then of course the hill bonuses are fantastic as well and look at what yo has done here this is this is i was gonna say creative and clever and i came up with creative but it is creative and that he's pushed the zebra over here lamed it and then put a house so it takes jordan time to walk over there but he might lose a villager because of it yo is trying to get decent damage on the scout once he kills the scout jordan can no longer block and yo will get away with this villager yo will be blocking behind this yo needs to block this ville try not to take any extra damage hello how are you what's up man i'm good are you in uh oh did they start i'm already casting oh okay five and a half minutes into the casting i had to find it i guess i know i had to i had to quit out of your your ranked game where you were definitely losing for the last 10 minutes of that so yeah it was it was rough all right cool anyway yo gets away with that villa that was great stuff from yo there blame the zebra house walled off one of those zebra and then managed to kill the scout from jordan and get away fantastic stuff early on we're gonna wait for t90 to get in here you're good just keep talking i'm catching up all right and uh yo we'll have the better better start here for sure one second more of idle tc time for jordan as well so completely washed um and yo is ahead in every way all right so i'm catching up now so tatar's here huh yep i like guitars and portuguese a little surprising to be honest yeah i think they're both picking sieves that you know aren't the best for game number one just to see what happens yeah yeah and then go from there i i like tatars saving the or getting a little bit of extra food having the hill bonuses free thumb ring extra goats when you make the tcs or sheep or whatever um i'd like it better than portuguese i think no i agree no i mean how many times have we talked about not having food on this map right so tatars kind of give you that guarantee that you are going to be able to freely make it to futile at least um i think they have their potential weaknesses in the mid game but so do portuguese i think every time we've seen portuguese in 1v1 together it's been in situations like wondering warriors cup where the player yolo is on the stone so yo did go tower rush against viper with pretty huge success so maybe he wants to go with an opening with towers and then think about organ guns later on he's got it like a safe stone back there too which is nice his other stone is pretty far away and his golds are not in the greatest positions ever either that's a nice little lumber camp there from yo though just fits in there so perfectly it's not very efficient but dude feels good sometimes though there's these one tile gaps near the stone in the back yeah and obviously this is not gonna happen here but can you imagine if like a villager went back there and wall themselves in and just towered that ugh it happened to me against margu i don't know if you remember it's been a while now i was at the perfect wood line and then a tower showed up yeah i remember it would that it would be like the wood line from jordan right here exactly exactly yep that's what i'm talking about one little passageway also you probably pointed it out already because i know you have in other sets but jordan has a stone which you can barely see to the south of that lumber camp oh yeah it's like really camouflaged in there and that could you only get two of those per player the other one is right next to jordan's barrack so that could be a really big deal dude it's super hiding and he doesn't even see the hole behind his woodline you'll never see there's no reason to look back there yeah there's absolutely no reason to look back there so that's just that's just a coacher for you folks yo did not go to stone and it looks like we're gonna have archer opening for both uh tatars will do more damage when fighting on top of hills which is good it will eventually get free thumb ring which is good portuguese though do have these slightly cheaper archers and i guess for yo right now he's got a scout so faster to the archers for yo and also having the scout i give him the advantage i think he's trying to bait the villager into attacking him and then the lion coming over i think that's what he was trying to do there i love it didn't quite work both players with very forward berries this could snowball quick but it's it's the same opening dave i am curious on if jordan goes archer archer or if he goes archer skirm okay he's going archer archer i don't think he kind of has to i think because the scout's out there but i think yo is going to go quickly into skirms yep yeah he's going to make one archer and then go into skirms and then probably grab himself fletching as well yo already has some farms down jordan still working around the goats so jordan's gonna have to invest wood into farms pretty soon and yo has already done that it was gonna open armor here dave i don't know if it was intentional but he doesn't have the gold for fletching and i love opening armor with skirms against archers it's probably something that's risky at times like you probably should go fletching first but he doesn't have the gold for right now so he really has no choice in the matter if he wants to use that blacksmith guys this stone at the back is not bugged by the way the stone is actually quite good it can be if you noticed it if you notice it yeah for psychotrauma it's actually quite good you just have to notice it also this is not the type of tournament where you're like bugged map yeah oh unfortunately oh wow will there be a reit no there's no restarts it's a coach it's like ridiculous it's not imagine imagine going to terror and complaining about a match yeah i know like sure he would be like yeah you signed up for the tournament what did you expect yeah yo hiding what he's got here but he lost his scout so like i feel like jordan is sitting there without a scout like okay what's yo going to do you can at least see the range and then yo is waiting to see jordan but one player has town watch the problem jordan can see that jordan here is that he needs to push in from the right side and it's going to take him time to loop his reinforcements over so it's always going to be a super slow push he always made it awkward through the middle and yo is fully walled up to the north too so yo is going gonna be pretty good as long as he doesn't you know eat his army into the tatar hill bonus which he looks like he's kind of doing right now but he's taking out archers so it's good for you yeah taking out archers and this is what yo wanted with the skirm opening good micro from him and also a bit bold dave to run up that hill because he could easily think against that now jordan has to recover and i was just about to have that marker conversation with you again about how jordan's floating the gold but he like he's gonna need something here because he's losing all his archers scurvy skirm not working out for him so far no and now yo can just comfortably sit up here with all these units he knows he's safe at home look at the farm eco-friend he's got 13 farms already with horse collar too he's so good wow oh also that archer is looping are you kidding me the archer is looping no and if he continues to loop we'll get right behind that wood line oh i would hate to be jordan oh he's gonna find it no and it's a 6hb archer too that's so annoying okay jordan will know the stones there though because when the archer attacks there'll be vision i think he already had vision with town launch so now jordan's got to react to that which is annoying and then he's still migrating but good shots from jordan here yo maybe needs to use box formation so the units don't reposition all the time and yeah he switches jordan's got weak ones in there though i mean on arabia this would just be asking for scout switch for both of them and i just don't know if we're ever going to see that here on sokotra yeah viper tried the scout switch in his set against yo in one of the games and it just didn't pan out at all because yo had his base walled and he was fine yo is going for dude yo has 16 farms right now yeah will against viper there was one game where they were kind of stalled out he added a ton of farms i believe it was with chinese and then he went on to stone on his way up and it was a it was a late castle age and then he just clicked up to imperial age once he got the forward castle also that's an option here they've team walt if you look at their walls near jordan's range they have teamworld they've worked together on that so good job nadia i love the idea of knights here dave like the biggest worry you have against tatars is will they have a big ball of archers to take advantage of free thumb ring and will they have the hill as it stands jordan doesn't have a hill he doesn't have any archers and then he's he's only on skirmishers so if i'm yo i just go like double stable knights are really cheap with portuguese and uh go night skirm here also 14 farms for jordan no horse collar 16 farms for yo has horse collar whoo and there is he was thinking about a stable he had the foundation i think he places it somewhere else now that jordan has his skirms out here this was nifty from jordan though because all of a sudden jordan's got an advantage like that one little move made yo freak out a little bit and think that jordan was gonna run through and so that makes yo back up now it's the things like that that really make top players the top players because i feel like a lot of the uh the normal top couple hundred players would just like just stay there you know keep microing and then fall behind so good job from jordan he's also mixing an archers behind us which is what you should do the question is just how many are you gonna have because you'd want to have like 10 crossbows at least and these skirmishes and i think we're probably still going to be here too yeah joe and jordan have done such a good job on this micro while everything else is going on two of the very best here um i didn't actually get to cast any of the uh earlier jordan sets in this tourney so i don't know how i performed did you get to see any of them i think i did one [Music] i can't i only saw early rounds it was jordan versus uh kongan but there's a pretty big gap between those two so i wasn't really able to get in there with any insight i don't think yo is going to go for elite skirm here at this point no he's lost a lot yeah he wants the food he doesn't even have the food dude he wants it he's adding scouts interesting so he might be yeah lead score might work then yeah uh there's a world where that could work but i think that we're going to see some nights from jordan as he's getting armor and jordan like this doesn't help him but at least he knows what's coming now i'm sure he expected it well the scouts also help in that jordan can't really add a monastery now can be there to snipe the monks so i think it's kind of like a why not sort of play from yo now he's going in and he's going in with a villager too is that bill he's blocking it going for a siege workshop classic yo siege workshop forward with army behind and jordan is trying to block this with a house but yo is going to block the house foundation still jordan walls up behind this knights are on the way first night is out from jordan quick wall from yo i love that man i'm not sure about the siege like i would have loved the monastery but i guess there's still crossbows back there so yeah siege is going to be a good play still has some skirms if he could task the skirms against the archers before they're upgraded would be good for him he's buying time he wants to desperately wants to stop this range all right not range sorry siege workshop he's not going to but yo is going to deny that yo is going to take out some crossbows with the skirmishers still getting value there we also have knights coming in from yo mangano on the way and this is just a classic mr yo game now forward siege workshop still has some army numbers not yolo at all economy looking fairly clean behind this and jordan's the one under pressure the best thing for jordan to do right now is what he did before delete those houses and run in yeah i mean it's risky but i feel like if you don't run and try and get counter damage before plasu comes in and now it's coming in i don't know what you do here and he's gonna sit back does have monks is gonna add his own siege so it could become a bit of a micro battle here my question is when does yo go on to stone here um well there's your answer he's going to send one now and maybe he's going to start to trickle bills on the stone he's 17 on food 18 on gold having a market his eco setup is really good at the moment so i think he could pretty much do whatever he wants also monastery out too to convert the knights if they go for his manganelle the crossbows can't really get super close because of the manganella jordan needs a couple conversions and he needs a mangadell shot if he can get that if he can take out the opponent's siege and then convert a few nights he could always push past this no ballistics for him though so he's going to be missing a lot of shots and it just feels like the value of yo's army is so much stronger right now this is classic mr yo dude it just have that forward siege and it's acting it's basically acting as a wall and saying you cannot you cannot go on to this hill because if you move your crossbows through there i could have a manganol popping out at any moment now jordan's gonna have to wait for a good opening shot from his mangano yeah ever push this area it's just super good i think jordan's gonna get to a point where he needs to take risks and oh okay yo almost gets the kill i would love to see jordan if he can get like five or six monks at home to actually loop his crossbows around uh attempt on the manganell no but loop to the left take out the palisade wall from yo and run right in because then he could defend with monk oh my god yeah what a shot i'd defend with monks but yo gets the conversion and kills a monk really well played there from yo he will maybe lose this monk but no jordan needs to run away there's just so much here right now the thing is though if jordan does what i suggest yo immediately dives his tc exactly so it's like i just feel like if this continues you are gonna die so just try to go for it well jordan's gonna try and micro down the manga he does great micro great micro there he's also getting a conversion with that monk he gets one yo is behind with monks and remember these knights have plus two they're gonna dive near the tc they're gonna take out two monks there villagers dying while the crossbows deal with the knights in the north if he can just if you can just take jordan off of goal he's going to the wood line oh yeah just take them off of a resource and he won't be able to make more oh great shot there from yo as well as jordan just can't keep up with the pace of the game he was quick walling on the wood line lost his manganelle because of that still the army counts there for jordan david it was good oh it was good quick walls to save the bills like yo if jordan didn't get those down yo could have lost like 10 villagers there yeah but yo is on stone right now and really bad yeah is just waiting for that castle foundation at the front right here underneath the gold i wonder if yo he already has control of this side so i guess it makes sense to castle here but there's also a world where you maybe want to castle the other side like near the market but i guess jordan could deny that yeah i think this is probably just better you've got the control don't do anything fancy right yeah yo takes out the monkey oh pushing away the crossbows and the crossbows just gonna super struggle to get close to these uh these mangonels with the knights in there but that's a big shot oh i think if he would have deleted oh he gets it anyways okay that's not bad like now it becomes a little more questionable to come forward and drop a castle jordan does have 49 villes he's got 22 army and free thundering has definitely paid off jordan running low on gold though he has chopped his way through to that stone if he ever wants it small side note that was sloppy from yo there maybe a bit of overconfidence as he is sending the bills jordan is gonna need some big shots here to be able to somehow stop this castle i just got a thousand gold in the bank by the way that's a lot of gold okay loses this manga here this could be rough and he does and now i think yo needs to back up he can't place his castle foundation there maybe up on the hill here but uh that was a great first shot it was been pretty casual about uh using the monks to get the relics as well you might think that you need all the monks but he's used just enough here jordan has to okay he's starting to push the range like he has to push yoziko in some way and he's got enough of a force now where he could maybe threaten he's gonna switch into cav archers which i'm not sure i like actually and there's the castle for yo what do cav archers really give you here i'm mobility not on this map yeah not the range not mobility like a little bit of extra damage but it is probably your strongest unit like tatars have to think about the late game here they don't get our blessed but that means you need to get bloodlines you need to get husbandry like you need to get so much stuff there i think right now he just needs something to give him gold because he's working on his last two tiles of gold the four tiles to the right of his tc is probably a no-go oh he's got so many knights man he's got 3 500 army values siege monks and knights and he's just moments away from diving again i think yeah and here come both the manganos just back up to your castle dive the mangano with the knight take it oh yo loses the mangano but still it's only one and the crossbows are stuck there jordan needs to run that is danger up there it's the perfect spot when you're up against just knights yeah but it's the worst spot if you're up against the siege and good job from jordan the cav archers are look at how many bills yeah look at how many bills he just lost he was that nine villagers lost now he's at 17. it's eight bills in that engagement plus the ones idle in the tc plus all the cav archers dying to the mangonels here mr yo man i mean remember he swept viper made it look super easy in the previous rounds destroyed virtually everyone i think he'd beaten slam 3-1 in the early rounds and he knows this is over look at him waltz underneath the tc repairing the manganese jordan don't reside give us the shot give us the shot then resign oh that's one and there's villagers repairing it oh he doesn't get a second i was super excited for it jordan will call the gg in five four three two one there we go yeah great game you know i i did zoom through the dark age right um so i i didn't get to focus on everything as much as you did but i yo made portuguese look way better than jordan makes look like he had the hill which negated a bonus from the tatars and then having the cheaper knights the cheaper monks the cheaper gold units and also just incredible macro to be able to get the cast leads to do that was impressive for mr yell yep and you wonder like how it happened i think like yo had the walls down and he had what eight farms or something before jordan even had a single farm and he had horse collar and he was faster to feudal age it just seemed like a much better build for him um early on than jordan and jordan did lose his scout so yo was able to come forward and and do that sort of stuff without him harassing but still pretty strong i would say this um we should draw some parallels to what yo did in the first minute of castle age to what belgium did and this is not to say we're not we're not poking fun at belgium here we're just saying oh my god did you take advantage of that minute you know he he built the siege workshop in jordan's face not tentative at all it was past the house while when it didn't have to be yep and he just he opened up so strongly there and i think that's always been the difference on socotra so jordan will uh will have to respond here i'll look at the sieves now they must have a lot of much better civilizations remaining here um oh yeah we've got some big sieves up here tatars and portuguese were some of the final picks for those players in their drafts in a second my scoreboard is bothering me are they going to be faster or slower to getting into the next game because vince and project belgium were like speed running that series lightning fast by the way guys i saw some people saying is uh jordan playing bad or is yo just playing good yo is the favorite i think coming into this oh yeah yo is it like clearly my favorite over jordan in this i'd say like 60 40 probably in favor of yo i said 4-2 yo yeah but but like sakotra you can't recover if you fall behind usually right so so it's a lot of times as casters we're just sitting there we're like oh well so-and-so didn't do that thing well now they're dead you have the uh that happens a lot do you have the draft link for me oh yeah yeah um i didn't have time because they were like right in i was busy with your game you know you're good i was also the spec dashboard is not working oh my god tragedy yeah i'm just they just started just search jordan in the game you'll find it or you should find it anyways we won't focus on the draft as much i mean they've got some good civilizations remaining when will they use them is the question and at least i'm in now yeah to game number two and uh jordan has gone for the lithuanians i love this pick and i love the start he's brought in his elephant and then we've got yo with the chinese which is also a great pick this is two top tier civilizations here for sakotro yep let's go okay so looking at the maps here okay this is funny both players want a hill bonus on the scouts they're just kind of waiting but dude they're sharing the area of the map with the zebra there's so many he's joe is pushing in three zebra [Laughter] i think he'll get one here but i hope jordan has to be careful good work from him he could have made the mistake of running into the tc and yeah this is where i want to come back to how lithuanians are played i feel like we have polar opposites here chinese might start with more villes but they have zero food in the bank and then lithuanians start with plus 150 food in the bank so if there was ever a civilization that could recover from not having food it would be lithuanians and i don't think jordan's this type of player but i love the idea of going forward with lithuanian villes because if you can deny berries or or just delay just any food income yeah any food income at all is beneficial yeah and you're gonna you know you're gonna have it um so i think the berries is really the focus there but we haven't seen that players just running around fighting over zebra at the moment yeah and it looks like yo is going to lame all of jordan's zebra there he did manage to push one in and the food income right now is looking fine for him and jordan trying to push in one last zebra joe's got the stronger scalp by one hp though and he gets another first hit there oh yeah jordan needs to run away and i think jordan's bill is gonna die here too if if he's not careful great dodging from yo yo is on point right now yeah and he won't want to lose any more scout hp but he pulls him back yeah well done yo and now he pushes into the zebra yep yep yep jordan's just gonna build this man i think you i think you village or fight over these carcasses if you mill here there's so many available yeah i think you have to now yo is pop cap he was housed pretty badly there had a bit of extra idle time still ahead in the villager count because of chinese he's gonna take a fight against the scout here jordan needs to run away once again still pushing in the zebra very stubborn on that point and now goes out to his own carcasses to try and get them in there's still one zebra left alive at the top both scouts despite there being a one hp difference on the scouts both scouts are three hits away from death seven hp versus eight hp that makes no difference here as it is would take three hits regardless with three attacks so good mill there from jordan he did lumber camp super early with lithuanians which i think he's benefiting from jordan be careful you don't want to lose the scout again see jordan attacks here i get i think he can win but i think he doesn't he's not doing the math right now he sees he's behind in hp but with a downhill oh oh okay there you go jordan jordan two hits away from dead good job jordan yo is just gonna snipe that zebra bop there we go and now joe's coming forward with bill so he wants to take the villager fight here but jordan has an equal number so jordan's gonna push him away it was 7b7 and yo had one half hp bill so yo will back up a little bit try and make his way to the feudal age very similar economy for both players very rough spot for for you to be in terms of scouting he doesn't know where the berries are located he doesn't know where anything is at jordan's base now and if jordan would have lost that scout it actually would have been okayish for him because he knew where the berries were so he's going to confirm that now see if yo is on this yet sometimes you'll see a ville sent over you can see the villager debated attacking there but yeah jordan with a good start i if i'm jordan i just go up to feudal age as quickly as possible here i think you're feeling pretty good about your situation i'm surprised jordan didn't take those other two carcasses he like took his own zebra he's like yeah that's that's all right and then he sent the bills back to the berries maybe he just wants to get up i think he's got enough food anyways yeah he clicks up now and so does joe same time and joe's got one more vill did have more idle time than you would normally have with a chinese start but makes sense on socotra here uh cheaper text for chinese yo in the previous game went for all of his eco techs and had a really good eco and then chinese could do virtually everything but i do think lithuanians can match up nicely against them which is lithuanians aren't really the best archers if it's more so skirmishers jordan's gonna go archers though i mean if you can get a wall down just a little bit of a diagonal wall in front of the berries his woodline's protected i always prefer the two lumber camps over one and then he's got the cheaper techs so i think jordan's really going to need to get that range up quickly and i'm not really seeing that with his resources looks like ooh he's gonna go for men at arms going for men at arms to pressure what the berries i guess let's see what he what he spots here he can see that okay and he sees the lumber camp back there he sees the gold doesn't see the other gold on the other side but he's going to loop around with a scout and spot that i like how cautious he's being with it he didn't want to go anywhere near the berries or the woodline here come the bills too wants this hill i guess you need to you need to be careful with where you place your tower though because if your first tower goes down to villager rush if you don't wallet in time it could be huge problems and he's actually going to go for an outpost in the archery range archer range here for mr yo got that house ball next to the gold so it's going to be tough for jordan to find the proper place for a tower especially with palisades yet this could be nasty for yo what's gonna do against this i love this from jordan and i the berries you could just run home afterwards and we're gonna have a tower from yo so he feels like this is really important oh it's on the other side okay it's gonna be palisades on the other side archers are coming out from him maybe he can bring those other three villagers over to engage he's got to make sure these palisade walls get down before the men and arms get in here annoying right now and the scout goes down but the man at arms are in so this should be good for jordan jordan will take out this tower at the very least well where are the archers from yo there's one archer coming yo's tower was up first but yeah yo can't really repair this tower and he can't get close enough with the archer to do significant damage we should point out that yo is farming a good amount and he has horse collar already and he has horse collar so if he can catch up in the farm count and get a lot of those and should be okay jordan is not on stone yet so he can't follow this up with another tower so that archer range a house and then a palisade wall on the other side of the gold and yo can always go to the gold on the other side which i believe jordan sees he does jordan doesn't wall this tower he deserves to lose his game wallace okay there it is there we go he's listening he's going to blacksmith yo is not stone in the middle too um yeah i kind of like it i mean i think joe's not going to be happy with this position so instead of just sitting back and being like okay well i'm probably going to be behind going to castle age i think we're going to see him go forward at some point um especially because all the bills went home for jordan so that's telling him that jordan probably wasn't on stone at all and yo has horse color and the first wood upgrade jordan has neither of those things yeah and jordan's economy is looking really stretched right now like yo as balances very well i have to say like what i don't like about jordan is how he took a position and then didn't even try and push that house next to the wood line he didn't try and be aggressive at all he just kind of fell back he's like okay i'm happy here and then stopped and lion is gonna whoo there against jordan and yeah dave i mean okay fletching is coming in for jordan that's something yo couldn't afford because of uh being off of berries but here it would be really nice if joe takes the good initial engagement against the archers here yeah takes out one he's gonna take out a second one here oh man jordan that's really bad for him he's also he's lost the other one the lion might kill yoz though so yo's got to keep that alive good recovery from jordan i guess because he did use the villagers there yeah i'm with you maybe you're taking advantage here and you run forward and you tower that area oh one skirmisher run run second archery range from yo okay that's a really fast skirmisher too i think yo loses both of those archers there's nothing you can do about that stay close stay in the minimum range yeah yeah hug it out hug it out hey all of a sudden jordan's army number's looking better he lost archers but he's still got skirms and he's now going to hit the stone and i think yo i like the second range but i don't think he can ever go forward now i think it's got to be more of a defensive approach with the towers maybe use the market and sell some of it as we know them still no eco upgrades adding in his 10th farm now yo eco upgrades adding in he's gonna have 13 firms once these are done jordan you should never take damage to this you should have a house here if you take damage to these two archers this is okay he does he does react nicely near the tail end there and he is gonna end up killing these so good work from jordan could have just had a house there earlier maybe didn't want to block off the gold but still the same result skirms pop out again yo he's gonna have five military over here skirms and one archer and remember he has 400 stone in the bank so he can if he ever gets control over this side he can come forward with towers i think he's saving it for now though just potentially for defensive towers might be thinking about house walling up that side as we see a random house foundation from him but he goes i was really curious on what he would do because a lot the market abuser in me yeah was saying market and sell it and buy food and go nights but this is a really good position on sokotra he is two archer ranges against one from jordan yeah so he's gonna out pop with the military it's a good house it means only one villager can attack that tower right away yo now pulling the villes to attack the skirmishers needs to delete his foundation before it goes down but eventually he will out pop jordan jordan is only on one range jordan also like shouldn't you bring the man at arms over but it would help a little bit at least to bring the man at arms over he's forgotten about them uh they're now dying to one archer over there as he's certainly focused and it's like even if yo falls behind he finds his way back into games he sent more villagers to finish this tower this time good skirmiker from both players should say but the tower is going to go up for yo and that's going to allow him to switch to either side he can go down towards jordan's range or he can head over towards jordan's mill and jordan has to respect that constantly mm-hmm and john might be losing a villager here pretty soon nope he saves it good micro there from him yo going for a second tower on this hill and now jordan losing a lot of units near that tower he finally brought back those men at arms but this is so obnoxious it's so smart right it's so smart because this hill controls all the future goals except for one but it is also not fun to face up against i can promise you that not sure about armor i think armor might help against the tower fire because yeah so armor uh makes sense here whereas it wouldn't in a skirmish battle dude jordan with only one range and doesn't even have the eco or resource advantage i don't know what he does here because yo is going to out pop him in the feudal war you can't win that well you can kill a few villagers over here which is nice yeah this is that villager's actually getting hit by the tower so that was a bit much from yo but like you can't go up to castle age faster if you're jordan either so where's your win condition here i i i don't know if this was arabia yo would have had a stable three minutes ago yeah force the opponent into full skirms and then go scouts but he's shown that he prefers to go castle age okay jordan's gonna try another tower gordon actually adding more farms so he's gonna have more farms than yo now and he might actually be up to castle age a little bit quicker but with that tower from yo and this skirmisher number it's going to be really really tough for him a lot of his farms are going to be cut off meanwhile yo's economy back home is safe still decent fight here for jordan against the skirms from yo guess what's awkward is you're now you've pulled villagers off of farms to deal with this whereas yo did not and you've got like one two three four farms that i'm counting that can't farm right now yep you just had a lot of ltc too so villager count he had a little bit of difference but if he hadn't have lost those two bills it would have been pretty close okay this is surely the time for the market though there's okay there we go yeah this is where you you're out of stone at this point so you just send everything over to gold after that and then you buy your way up and jordan should be doing the same but he doesn't even though he has 300 gold he doesn't actually have that much gold income so i'm too sure about the long term here for jordan who will uh win the tower war though those villagers on the tower are in the tower as they kill the firms they're gonna run away oh wow he's sticking with it that's surprising to me this is really risky for yo yup i would i would expect him to bail on that at some point dave he's so focused on these golds right that's been u.s focus he's gonna make a tower here to try and shoot down the tower from jordan looks like that villager is getting a diagonal hit somehow so i guess it'll go down eventually anyways oh that there's where he's making it tower it's like where are what are you talking about yeah yeah underneath the other on his own gold okay i thought you were i'm like why does he need that gold if he's got gold access at the top there but there's the market from jordan i mean i feel like this is a really big deal joe's had his market for a while jordan gets the better prices and jordan with a lot of stone though he is gonna make he got baited into placing a tower right here maybe he'll do it anyway we are approaching a skirmisher mass though where yo can just run in i'm getting ptsd i don't know if you can you can simply just run in here yeah yeah you're right but also it's like that's a lot of skirms that if you don't benefit from you're like okay maybe you shouldn't invade as many and maybe you should have gone castle and like three nights counter that i um this week i played yo on the ladder and he went full lithuanian spears and skirms against me like 40 plus trash units while i was in castle age it was it was fun i'm sure it sounds it sounds really interesting actually it sounds made me feel so motivated to try and get better oh my god yep so he's on stone to recoup the cost of stone from the towers but not to drop a castle here yo and jordan can't actually take ooh i guess that where this tower is from yo um is denying jordan's access to more stones jordan won't ever make a castle he's going for the first stable now just now he's 50 seconds away from castle age he's just now building the first stable jordan does not have the first armor upgrade yet so if we're thinking about knights immediately clearing up the skirmishers i think he's gonna have problems with that because he's only gonna have one stable it won't have bloodlines won't have armor dude yo is so good at controlling resources yeah that's probably why he's such a beast in socotra like the early towers on the other golds now he's towering this stone in this gold and he just continues to pressure jordan another villager down from jordan green still has the advantage in villager kills but now yo is going into nights and yo knights or camels and uh yo is getting bloodlines now he's going for a second stable so he's probably gonna have better upgrades honestly than jordan i also really like the thought process from yo to continue to take out as many skirms as possible i i love how jordan's gone for siege and monks though i think monks are gonna be a big deal but i'm not sure if this knight is on is enough here look at this yo knows it too he's gonna repair hop back inside that knight's gonna die yeah it took him straight it took out two skirms it took out two skirves with your initial night now yo has double stable production on his knights and oh man this is uh this is desperation mode from jordan here he's managed to hold on against the double range production from yo early but uh now yo has had a safe eco behind this for a very long time the value here has been insane and now his knights come in now jordan does have a monk this needs to be this needs to be an immediate retreat there from yo good job from yo i'm now curious and if he bails on this tower to credit to both players for continuing to stay with it here i think joe's gonna have to bail and he does and there's the siege workshop from yo uh we can look at the resources right now yos rez looking pretty good and he's on stone with three villagers so he's still building up there cues up a few more nights and looking for opportunities in the north side but he's not gonna find it jordan will have the monk there jordan already has a relic so he gets the plus one attack which is great also that monastery works faster which i think is the most important bonus here if both players are one monastery if you're consistently queuing up monks you should have more monks if you're lithuanians but jordan hasn't been making monks all the time the problem with jordan is that his monks can't really push out through this middle area oh god don't lose that monk no way oh god that's tragic what happened there i i think maybe he it was a pathing thing he thought it would go around the other way he might have been trying to get the relic up there too which joe has already snagged and joe's gonna snag another relic there's another one near his tower on the other side and yo is at 400 stone now tristan his gold count is looking decent his boot count is looking decent if he can just like kind of hold in the middle here get a castle down he could click up to him but he's going to cue up some more camels and goes for the second armor upgrade too yeah another monk going down to the towers no way jordan but it's just dave it's a bad play like you're not gonna win this with relics you're gonna win this with night numbers you need your monks yep this is it's just not a wise decision there for the gamer legion player and now i mean yo's got two monks jordan's about to have two it's not like they've both been producing all the time but losing those hurts so much we have a one for one there that benefits yo basically yeah and yo should castle the hill and be super safe with it and then all the rest of his pressure is just down here in the south because that's the only other area where jordan came do you castle that hill or do you castle next to your siege workshop in the south yeah i guess you could make arguments for both i like the hill because it also protects where you're taking gold right yeah i guess you that's a prime area the treb from as well yeah that as well yep skirmisher skirmishers coming in for the monks do they get it they get one don't get the other one but camels are here from yo he's got the plus two armor which jordan does not have goes down i think jordan's in trouble here no maybe not with the knight being converted he did convert another night there from yo so i think this fight is gonna kind of balance out here okay and i think yo is continuing to take it to hold the position he's thinking about he's also just casually walking by with a relic he could use that monk i think he's thinking about the southern castle could go for the hill now that he's kind of been negated in that in that push and another relic coming in nope it's yo of course he's going for the castle down there yeah and i i like how he's just going to leave the relic there because he knows he knows he needs to just hold this position rams and jordan but there's a man jordan had two more monks he does have a monk converting right now and he's gonna get one night from yo but yo i think is gonna get two nights maybe only one night from jordan jordan going over here to deny this castle both rams go down villagers will die here at what cost i guess is the question for jordan he'll feel good he denied the castle but now he's got no army and it's plus two nights plus two nights if they ever get through their garrison the tc is not really gonna help yo is sending one more villager okay there's more on the way also the the skirm that's still alive dave killed another monk oh no like the skirms the skirms and the towers did so he's got three kills i like jordan's so scared he's focusing in right now he's over yeah yeah this is super over joe's just a god on this map he really is like wow it's just it feels like jordan once we get into feudal age in both these games and production begins it feels like jordan just doesn't really have a chance that's even after the first tower push where he took out the counter tower from yo he denied the berries and yo just dominating the middle of the map what's interesting is yo so good at controlling the game in the mid game that you almost feel like you can't compete so what you do is you try and get an early advantage jordan got an early advantage he got the tower up and guess what yo brought it back anyways so it's like do you want to be aggressive with no eco upgrades against you because it might not work and then if you don't go aggressive against yo he might outplay you in the mid game anyhow so i i think yo is really benefiting from this map because it kind of brings them back to the old voobly days where towers are actually useful like this is the first time we've seen this many towers um out of yo i think in many many years and i mean chinese are strong as well but man yo making jordan look like a fool right now like a fool that was maybe a slight exaggeration but i mean two monks dying to the towers yeah that would have that's bad those two monks would have made such a difference yo would have never engaged like that in the middle if those two monks are there so yeah and like let's say he gets the relic right let's say he gets the relic does it help that much in the attacks i don't think so i think it's always about monk numbers regardless i wonder spec dashboard is still down yeah um fortunately when i've been searching for jordan it's been working and they already have the lobby up uh they're not they haven't officially started yet but looks like we're close at least is also a really good civ pick there for jordan not that chinese isn't but kind of hurts to lose that one with what was probably i'm looking at the draft yeah it was the second pick i want jordan to go mayans and i want him to be really aggressive with that early eagle like one eagle one villager with mayans is so annoying to deal with because they'll always research loom right away anyways so their build has that and then the eagle is stronger than the scalp that's what i'd like to see from jordan i like how yo banned britons too a lot of players are banning mezzo civs and yo is like i kind of know how to play against that if you're going to play mayans you're not going to play them crazy i'm not too worried about it i just don't want you to get into castle age with britons and have crossbows to snipe all my manganals and stuff if you search you'll find the game and tell me when you see the sieve match up because i mean we don't know if it'll go late there's a lot of different things that could happen oh but uh yeah uh if it does go late jordan's gonna have some problems here and he's playing as the goths yo is playing as the tutans great sip match up here yeah and look at this look at how close they are holy oh my god they're next door neighbors ask him for some sugar or something oh my god jordan already forward with a villager too that ville is going to do the loop-de-loop and is going to be trapped back here and the poor scout is trying to help right now viper would wall in both of yours bills and the the scout but it's this bill is so dead from jordan oh my god what a start here for him he gets back there he doesn't succeed in laming anything and he's lost a villager yeah that hurts yeah there it does feel like there's less ground between them i guess if you look at the minimap that's pretty clear yeah this this honestly i mean not in the sieve match-up but there's any map to tc drop on this would be it because it's very flat next to their town centers yep and then all the resources are kind of in one spot and there's no reason to go to the other side so well that's the risk you take with goths one of the big reasons you pick goths is because you can get loom instantly and because they uh can carry more hunt and kill hunt faster so it's a very lamey start but another example perhaps of someone trying to do early damage to yo and yo just making it happen anyway joe might lose the villager here that we should lose that yeah he should like why go out with this um sends another one too which is just as questionable i think he's a little very questionable here let's see how good the blocks are from jordan oh my god yo okay yo is going to get away with that maybe i think i think yo is going to be happy to have the higher hp scout though yep and at this point it's one to one with the veil kills and now jordan's scout can't be anywhere near the middle of the map yo yo yo oh he dodges it wow well played it's the second amazing tc aerofire dodge he's had this this set and he comes over with the scout and that's high enough hp that he can pick this villager off see you later another bill from jordan and maybe the scout too from jordan oh god this is getting i'm getting hidden cup three vibes all over again interesting games ending in dark age you did you didn't get that after the first semi-final i think that's true actually oh geez well oh my god looking at their eco but but again like that's so yo we question his decision like okay he overextended and then guess what he forces the opposition to overextend he makes it happen and now he's going to wall the berries too he's gonna be like you will have no whatsoever jordan will have all the ostrich at the back not running away so that's something i really disagree with not prioritizing the berry control because the berries are most exposed here so i would say if you're going to walk to any resource you want to walk to the hunt not the berries because the berries during donations yo i don't think you waste your time walling this in no phil's just gonna run and he really wants to complete the house because he kind of needs to right now jordan knows this oh he got it uh oh she's trapped oh there's another palisade she is trapped okay uh maybe try and wall in the bills from jordan here the house could go down good job jordan yo just he's going for that palisade now let me out let me go oh he tried to quick while him back in but it didn't work jordan okay villager kills 2-2 now he's evened it up a bit the berries have not really been lame so that was a good response there from jordan yeah you could tell yo was focused he lost his scout there good job from jordan to be able to do all that and also kill the scout but i'm looking at the amount of food at the moment this is before we even talk about the fact that tootin's have really cheap farms and yo has been farming like a madman this series um do you go seeing how jordan can click up i feel like if you're yo you go for an initial tower on the berries there yeah send the villains forward knowing yo he's just gonna up and he's gonna go like eco upgrades and archers and then just adapt and he might go forward with towers but i don't think yo needs to go yolo towers i don't think he needs to do that oh 497 food yikes okay gets enough food i will never stop hating that that feeling that's something i'm trying to do i will always hate about age here he comes he's going to stone right now and he's thinking about a tower and he's thinking about a tower with seven villagers tootons can garrison mooreville's in their towers so it's almost impossible to win a tower war against them okay so why would he be getting 10 gold if he might be getting 10 gold so we can make three militia but then you would need to have 40 more gold to make three militia infinite arms so i'm not sure from jordan too that's a big wood investment into walls i would have preferred he walked towards his berries and then towards the edge and make like a circle um but i mean it will give him time and yo there's the barracks now dave yo is playing very different from what he did in the earlier games he's not gonna go for the eco approach he's gonna go aggressive now the militia are coming out but i i don't even i don't like this at all i don't think he's gonna have the resources for men at arms so why make the militia in the first place and then he sees the wall there too yeah okay i would always play towards the economy in this matchup personally because goths don't have any eco bonuses at this stage hey tower right there it does cut off the stone you'll be able to get into these walls and jordan i mean jordan is in that classic position where now you're focused on defending behind and you're gonna be spending so much resources or so many resources doing that you won't be able to produce yourself so it's gonna be really difficult for jordan we can question yo whether this is gonna be super effective but it's gonna hinder jordan a lot i think jordan's up time is is the big problem right now and for yo he's always thinking about what resources he can deny i might protect dude yo could just run right under that tc if you knew he could just place the tower on the wood line like running right under that tc what happens though if he goes past and then jordan makes two houses and then garrison yeah like then you can't leave so look keep an eye on the wood count for jordan here as he's thinking about defending he needs a second production building right now he's only got a barracks he's gone for a defensive tower on the berries yo is gonna see this you will get in through these walls not like he needs to he can just run under the tc over there but still i i can't do a good yo impression but i imagine yo is like oh tower there this is perfect for us you know like the thing is you can't build your towers too close to tunes because they can fit more villagers inside and win the tower war this is bringing back some uh very distant memories right now good work does it rhyme with uh i can't even make up a rhyme with that pyc rhyme the only rhyme i could think of was inappropriate exactly same here [Laughter] savior yeah oh man too many people don't know that story no i think just enough people know that story thank you i like the range from jordan i i like his situation right now it's not the best but as yo is now getting bit axed like how he's prioritizing that yo is definitely gonna have his work cut out for him here with the repairs and eventually like all jordan wants is a few archers so yo can't progress past this point yep and even a counter attack i'd love to see the first two archers go forward i like that tower behind from jordan too just out of range so when yo goes forward assuming the tower's up before his first one goes down anyway true yeah um and he's been on stone this entire time too so he has enough for more counter towers he's placed in the farms around the mill at the back so joe can't tower them around the tc but man the berries like losing your berries early futile it's not even just in socotra that happened to me in that game you were unfortunately casting um the britain's first goths one like it handicaps you with what you can do and jordan can't get fletching due to that i don't know why jordan just didn't finish that other tower though that's weird yeah he was already building it oh god and yo is coming forward with another one and this is gonna arrange the stone and the gold is militia also getting some value against the archers pushing them away i like the double tower from jordan it's the only thing you can really do against the teuton tower yeah rush but still would you say the militia paid off at this point i would say they probably did yeah just delaying those archers is probably good now there's a temptation here if you're jordan because all your bills are getting hit and there's no military for you you're tempted to rush that no you can't though there's two towers behind you can't exactly and we'll see if maybe you can try and catch out some villagers from yo i mean yo is not walled at all yo is simply farming at home doesn't have an archery range for skirms or anything but good job jordan he shoots it down and you know it's like okay we're farmers now and he's gonna go for horse collar yep we farming now walls these in perfect get more houses more palisade walls around this make it incredibly difficult for jordan to clear this stuff up and then either get town watch so you know what's coming or add an archery range because this is jordan's time to counter yep and there goes jordan and he he doesn't quite have the food for fletching yet as he is super paranoid he's gonna make another tower that i don't even think is necessary but um well joe's going over there with the with an outpost so apparently you always thinking the same thing but i think you can just drop one here and be fine yeah archers on the other side have looped all the way around yo's base and jordan is looking for value but yo now has the skirmisher coming out jordan's still with no fletching so the skirmish should be fine against this he's gonna find those villagers and he's gonna deny that tower so good game sense from jordan to figure out that that's joe's nest next avenue of attack over there and to deny it but still have to favor yo in this position it's just no fletching like like the archers are where they need to be they were there before there was a single skirm but he doesn't have he didn't research fletching to be fair i think he had the resources he just chose not to why does joe have all seven of these bills garrison in that tower to attack the house okay now he's out again i mean his worker efficiency has been weighed down but he does only have 30 seconds of tc idle time here yo now if he wants to if he really wants to keep this position he could try a tower that is just the perfect spot north of that gold to shoot down the tower from jordan oh here comes jordan still no fletching skirmisher's on the way from yo and he's getting fletching also getting horse collar jordan has no eco upgrades right now so weird to not get fletching but maybe he wants to go castle faster i mean it is an approach we've seen work before you know farming like crazy but no market for him yet jordan building the market i think jordan could consider selling what's left of his stone his husk girls aren't going to help you in this matchup right and buy some buy some stuff yeah true castle will help you a lot in this but and yo not having any on stone currently so maybe not he's also making outposts on the right side which is great he's nervous about those archers coming around it's gonna help him later on in the game too these phil's from yo like they've been walking they're still walking they're looping around now they're going on an adventure jordan's gonna see this is coming i'm curious jordan's about to run out of stone so we'll have about 350 and then he won't be able to take any more so i'm curious on what he's planning on doing there about 350. we 350 you're not a south park guy are you uh not really no um i did i did i did i have watched south park and there's a few episodes which are hilarious but uh there's one priority in my life right now and i think you know what that is that would be your mom no i'm kidding hvac you almost hit me with your mom joke damn dude new t-90 holy okay jordan's up i really like this if he can just control that gold i think he's good uh he's in a good position to control the gold and yo is up time very very late here um knights from jordan would be epic here yep two stable knights would just be slaughtered but i don't know if he really has i don't know if he has the income yeah he's got 13 on food right now he's got 13 farms didn't have horus colors so some of those are gonna be expiring pretty soon and uh the gold is gonna be harassed if yo continues this tower push oh god no fletching means that his towers don't even range each other here yeah it's such a nice upgrade to have it's not that expensive and now as archers eject um your skirms were attacking the mill for some reason he's getting fletching now at this point it's like you've missed your most useful opportunities for fletching to help you it's like you might as well just forget about it i also like how he's gone for the little wall on the left side he's like i know you want a tower over there but it's still open so you could theoretically run around yo sending these villagers they're on a hike again it's the same seven villagers they're coming back once more and he's going into the middle of the map this time going for a stable okay both players up stable yo can eventually get a castle but he's only got that 600 stone to work with on the right yep he is controlling the other stone from jordan in the middle with those towers so a castle is out of the question for jordan jordan is in castle age now he does have two stables he can't produce out of both of them because he's catching up on upgrades which seems very reminiscent to the previous game to be honest my mouse just fully ran out of battery your mouse ran out of battery yeah um yeah with captured i don't think you can use arrow keys either wait you're still using you're not using a wired mouse what what type of gamer that uses a wire no offense i know everyone everyone use no there's no difference between wired and wireless now so everyone all the pros use wireless now no one used wires really yeah even the fps guys use wireless i'll take your word for it because you know i don't follow that stuff so there we go okay all right um well i mean yo if he opens with the monastery here he'll be in a really good spot and that's something that jordan can't really think about jordan will not have any success making monks against tunes and now these annoying towers are going to start to catch up with these knights you might not think so because towers just fletching aren't that great against knights but that combined with the knights coming out from yo means yo is gonna focus on this position i'm back tweet perfect yeah it's it's actually a mouse i found in uh n4c and viper bought it i bought it mister bought it wait wait you bought it like at a shop while you were no no no no uh the muslim was showing it to us so we all bought it because we all loved it so interesting okay yep well ram goes down that's so annoying that tower's on 99 hp yep anna you just can't push this back it's another situation where i'm like okay jordan can't do anything it's like yo vince did in the first semi yo is doing it now he just consistently gets a good position and then smothers the opponent yeah and there's the second tc from yo so he's gonna expand his eco behind this will probably be the first one to uh plus two armor at which point he can run in does he go for plus two armor here or do you just i don't think you need plus two armor because you get the extra melee armor as is with tunes so you would only wanna get plus two armor early like if you had to choose between numbers and plus two you would choose plus two if you're running underneath tc's my whole chat what model is it dude they need to pay me for this i've been selling up this mouse for the last two weeks well i need to get paid for that it's i guess i don't use wire i don't use wireless mice but i guess it'd be normal for a mouse to have like two weeks of lifespan or battery span dude i use i've used the razer naga for years i used to have the naga it i'm i'm kind of shifting away from razer equipment i don't really like it that much anymore i've got i only have the huntsman keyboard we're selling out here no no no we're we're not because listen i've got uh a steel series mouse pad i have a razor mouse i have a corsair keyboard i have an intel and amd two pc setup um like none of my stuff matches you're like a question [Laughter] it's like sewing all this together it's yeah it's really i feel like it would bother a lot of people um if they were to see how all over the place my stuff is okay well so yo looking again in a fantastic position jordan's managed to hold on but once again lack of space at the back here so even if he wanted to put his wood into farms he's gonna run out of space back there he's gone for pikeman but the towers are still here from yo which is gonna help it a lot against the pikeman and the position for yo is just so good jordan does have gold behind which is a good thing for him but stone is still an issue not sure what i think about yo getting his own pike upgrade here i kind of would just like to see him go for nights and then buy a castle and just drop it right in the middle like you don't have to be that aggressive but oh jordan's gonna force the issue with a ram here but yo has a mangano yeah okay use the towers to take the monks yo yeah he's doing that jordan's gonna lose those monks great job from yo yo it's just on the ball today holy the manganese still attacking on the other side jordan trying to still be repaired ram goes down for free basically monk from yo will escape and jordan is just waiting for the right moment to engage with the pikeman but it's so tough with all these towers around here the siege from mr yo the pressure on the left as well and that's the difference right you saw him save the monks there jordan couldn't do the same thing jordan's got to be careful because he could donate two nights just to take out the mangonel here yeah yo should get conversions here let's them around that's actually pretty good from jordan he's gonna take out two monks and his scorpion as well but yeah he lost the knight for his efforts tonight's there yo just needs to back away i'm really surprised yo didn't just buy a castle honestly yeah and at this point getting close look at the goals just buy a castle here 1500 1600 gold castle right in the middle would feel so good but maybe he's looking at the flag on the siege workshop and rightly so and thinking hey wait a second what's in there and his his questions will be answered as two manganals pop out yes it's two knights but that's a lot of pikes and they're really cheap for jordan and there is no plus two armor now and we know yo has had the resources so joe's gonna fall for a defensive castle now gets to the hill could take this fight easily he needs to be porn because jordan wants to deny that i think he needs to put more villagers on that but the towers here are gonna buy him a lot of time skirmishers even in the towers i've forgotten about those yo in his skirms man that thing feels like he could just back away with the knights now and then make teutonic knights and teutonic knights is the best to the the best unit you can make is twos against goth it's situational great dodging here from yo as he goes to complete the castle also so clean yep and the mangano goes down to the the pikeman before he dies the converted pikeman gets a manganol i believe the value man the value and now you just make teutonic knights and he's been on two tc's we should uh we should say it's not been the case for jordan jordan has limited gold a lot of that gold is underneath the castle is running around like a chicken with his head cut off he doesn't know where to go what he's doing okay how he can change the situation i was about to go full nbl there yo is up to him so we're fine if he does lose all of his army which there is potential for he can get out between these two houses yo is probably like oh thank god [Music] god jordan could have gone for a gate to block him i think diagonal gate would have been tough that's just okay so yo is obviously playing well but jordan has been a bit unfortunate at times as well yeah but i think you've got to say as well like you gotta you gotta know that that's open there yo saw it he's got slow tootin nights this looks like every goth game ever pike's trying to catch up to knights and they actually found a really good engagement what is going on there you go shredded people will say that that was a mistake from you but really i think we all know he's just making pop space for teutonic knight oh my god though oh that was so unnecessary yeah what the hell was that okay if the walls wouldn't be there for yo and jordan had four rams right now this would be possible yeah because he could try a full ride i don't even think so though because yo already has nine teutonic knights yeah true yeah yo doesn't care about these anymore that's probably why i didn't get any send them into the the woodline as soon as you're about to push that'll pull the entire army from jordan at the back and then you can push forward with stuff and there's rams coming out from jordan oh no jordan's gonna try for a ram push here yo it's gonna be an imp yeah yo i think we honestly jordan should try right but i know jordan has been feeling like calling the gg for the last 10 minutes and he might really consider it when he sees this look at the farm eco from yo 40 farms 40 farms on sokotra against 20 from jordan going for chemistry so he's gonna go for hand cannons which is the second strongest unit you can probably make against goths hand cannons and teutonic knights and with free murder holes this is not something that jordan's ever gonna have fun time ramming down jordan's still going for rams oh man he believes he's going to be awfully disappointed when these teutonic knights pop out but i guess he does have the crossbows so that's something silly he's up against a castle there's still a guard or a watchtower there i just can't the kd's really even and i can't wait to watch it when jordan takes his fight because jordan's got the numbers right while i'm putting your crossbows in there too here we go something in front of your travio uh all the rams are split up let's see is yo gonna pop out with his teutonic knights he's not yet there we go prize snipe these uh crossbows use the castle for the crossbows and the siege well well i mean maybe there's a chance here dave yo only has eight teutonic knights in here yeah there are still rams going after the cavs there are still crossbows attacking the teutonic knights the pikemen are being drawn into the town center though and remember murder holes and yeah okay this i i'm not sure this push is going anywhere as the teutonic knights shred the pikeman villagers go to repair the castle all you needs to do is target correctly with his castle and he should be fine here and yeah it looked hopeful for a second but uh yo is gonna pull out in front here as the crossbows get sniped down the rams get removed and look at his resources look at joe's resources right now unbelievable great great attempt from jordan though honestly a great attempt um he we wouldn't have really shamed him too much if he would have just tapped out before that attack it was looking really bad but he did give it his best shot unfortunately it just never felt like he was gonna have the chance and that's the quick 3-0 for uh well the memes are back apparently because joe's sweeping everyone mr 3-0 is looking good here in this best of seven bad civ matchup though for jordan not the sith matchup he would have wanted that's that's one of the worst of matchups you can and especially like going down at the beginning with goths losing a villager early losing the first two bills early not just at all another game where he took control with towers macro better behind but i think for jordan there were opportunities there dave he didn't have fletching with his archers those archers could have killed three four villagers because you didn't have skirms and jordan was already behind an eco both in what's available for his sieve and what's doable for his sith and i think like researching upgrades not getting any of the eco upgrades ever is just kind of it's kind of rough and joe's timing credit to him because a lot of players don't get those upgrades but joe's timing is immaculate when he places farms when he gets the upgrades it's just really really good i can't can't really say i mean at this point i actually won't be be covering it tomorrow i'm going to be at a baseball game but i'm i'm curious to see what will happen tomorrow if the ond closes this out because she gave me you're going to joe and winchester have dominated are you going to like a spring training game or like yeah dude there's spring training games here we're going to a um i actually forget the teams but it's uh marlins and somewhere else is it in dunedin florida no no that's that's the other i actually because that's the jacket that's where the jay's play okay yeah so um when i lived over in the tampa area dunedin's like 30 minutes away from that so i didn't never went to games because of covid but i do know that area well i'm jealous yeah dude i'm excited like i don't know if i told you or if we talked about this because we talk about hockey a lot yeah but i got like really into baseball near the tail end of the previous year really you gotta get involved in a fantasy league that's like peak baseball that's when you start actually paying attention to everything you get so far really shamed though like it's it's good it's strategic i like it but it's also kind of like an old man sport ah whatever who cares yeah i love baseball it scratches that itch of a sport that i don't have to like pay attention to the whole game i can just kind of have it on in the background yeah like you know it's uh it's nice they have started the next game sorry baseball fans i didn't mean to call you old i can't find it um just search jordan i did spectate games yeah it really really sucks to not have a better way but uh so we're used to it at this point that's well i will let you continue to find that um i could tell you that an elephant is currently on the move and i'm sure you're going to see it in a second and this is like this is really funny this is really funny just catch up to this because jordan's stealing the elephant and then yo just walked up and said okay i'll take yours then and they're gonna split split evenly here that was great one player with a with an eagle and one player with uh faster villagers so i guess it balances out right yeah yeah i guess the grass is always greener on the other side for these players okay so yeah you mentioned the eagle the eagle's a really big deal which jordan can still utilize i mentioned earlier that with mayans you could harass but i didn't realize he had incas and then yo with the faster villes but the main thing i'm thinking about with berbers is if joe gets to castle age with good eco he's going to be able to spam knights all of castle age all right that lion's really annoying cost him some time for mr yo but he's going to get over there villager is faster so he's going to be able to lane that looks like jordan is sending a villager in that direction he can't actually see his zebra he has no idea where they are they could be on the left side could be on the right side could be in the middle he's gonna see the lion carcass go wait a second something doesn't feel right here also doesn't make the berber villager move faster than the eagle so there's no way to block this i'm curious i think so i think the eagle does move faster um okay it does it does feel like the eagle's a bit faster yeah so good blocking here from jordan this should be a kill but you know yo is going to be clicking like a madman right now with berber villes oh he's gonna oh oh yo look at this look at that used the relic perfectly but now he's stuck maybe he can do it again he's still idling three villagers here from georgia oh he does it again oh my god dave on the left side on the left side now we have to look and jordan sees the scout as weak but it is a fast berber villager so more hits are going to come in dude how can he be blocking a ville and killing it with that and quick walling on the other side at the same time yo is actually a god he does lose the scout though he's not going to lose jordan's not going to lose that villagers so i mean at the in the end though jordan still got an eagle which is on full hp you could probably never escape with this other ville is a lot of wood investment a lot of time investment over here but definitely i think it's a better situation for jordan here oh oh oh oh oh she's dead she's dead and he's even sending more bills he's gonna mill no i thought it was a mill for a second i did the same thing man i clicked it immediately and i heard that so i knew it was a house oh man also something that's really valuable is the fact that your houses give you more pop space cause you can save so much wood for other things here someone just brought up a really great point you can see the speed and capture age of the units oh true so it's 0.88 for the villagers for berbers and it's 1.1 for the eagles guess you gotta get wheelbarrow with numbers and then you're then you're going crazy yeah um well i'm i'm looking at joe's resources i think what hurt him is that he was very late to a zebra on the left oh he's gonna wall these bills in oh but that's just a waste of wood at that point i can't like i can't tell you the amount of times that players try that these days and then it just gets taken out yeah i guess it's instinct you know dude and if it works it looks awesome yo is sending more villas here i think he's just having fun now i don't he has food like like he has berries that he can take they're not walled in yep and for jordan oh good quick there he can't comfortably take his berries you know deleted the wall and jordan was immediately there to make another foundation great stuff there same thing will be will happen here yo is going to delete jordan is going to need to get the walls down he doesn't do that oh there was a path in there that's weird and yo trying for a house that's not working he does have berber villagers so i think he would always take this fight with berbers takes out one village trying to take out the eagle jordan deletes the mill and escapes with the eagle but that mill is gone it's a lot of investment there and yo can run away with these weak villagers running away with one that's like half hp and doesn't run away with the one that was one hit away but he's sending oh my god he's sending more great job from jordan there that one that got sniped was because jordan was blocking it good job to get in front and he's like hey uh we're gonna mill again i honestly don't know how many villagers it takes to take out a mill but i feel like i think this is enough yeah i think this is enough and there's three bills in there from jordan oh boy and now yo is going with villagers up top towards the zebra jordan repairing with two bills that's not enough yo will be able to engage against this jordan is now chasing the bills in the door [Music] this is insane dude so something jordan needs to do though he has the wood income farm man farm like like that was my that was on my notes of of practice against margu who does the scrap just farm just get like four or five farms and then when you're losing this it obviously sucks but they have way more villagers not working than you do no yeah it's just you need to have food income hey yo taking a few hits from the tc but he's gonna get away dodges that and yep there's the farms jordan finally adding them it's tough though tristan like as you know it's so tough to manage these villager fights and then to place down farms at the same time it's just really difficult yeah and i now you don't want to allow him to take your berries so you kind of have to he's going to engage yeah you kind of have to engage here i think i good job from yoda send more the weak villagers home i like that jordan's gonna let him take the berries i think yeah i wish it was fighting for the berries and then also farming but jordan's just gonna give it up for now and that's uh trying to do the math here but i think that's 600 food that'll come in a whole lot faster than just six or seven farms for jordan oh boy the eagles healing by the way there's people wondering where that eagle is it's healing right now in the tc uh but i imagine being down 3-0 and then being just sitting here as yo is eating your berries and you feel like there's nothing you can do about it is an awful feeling for yoga's for houses on that side imagine he just walls jordan dude like he can see both the goals he sees the gold in the left yeah the gold in the right so if he wants to go towers here i could definitely see it working out it's just all about the up times right jordan is investing so much in the fight he's got 11 farms now i do build a little faster i think oh wait jordan's like i've had enough of this and he's going to run out now here it feels like a late decision but these are fresh villagers you might not get the walls down and you'll seize this and maybe you just leave if you're yo you're already at 350 you're ready 350 food and you can you can run away with the berber villas as long as you deal with the eagle there good work from jordan again though to get that villager and also save his own at the same time no yo is gonna get that and jordan kills one at home and he didn't get the one running back to the tcc oh wow yeah now like your mill also blocks this so i think it would be a mistake for yo to stay here now you stole as much fruit as possible and then i think you drop off your food at home and you go up and then you you do whatever you want to do from there yo is so good at socatcher man excuse me that clash if he goes through it'll be the clash of the titans him against winchester the guys that like never i'd love to see jordan take a few games here though i'd love to see the reverse sweep as he goes for a mill on the berries once again that is the fourth mill on these berries by the way if he wasn't incas that would be so painful unfortunately he hasn't had to make as many houses he actually is about to get housed but i guess he's gonna click up yo is not up yet true yo what do you does he not have a building go up to him come on or feudal whatever that is weird he's still not also there's just a random mining camp i guess he's gonna go mine gold there is zero thinking like just straight fc off this that would be fun yeah maybe in tonight's you don't want to get too crazy if you're young and deleted it and jordan laughs at it he can't help but respect it dude now he's swallowing in a bill over here he stole the farm he he attacked the villager to de-aggro him or a deep farmerize him and then took the farm and deleted it you like the villager goes uh goes to therapy later so what happened this week well it was deformerized again by yo yeah oh jeez and yeah dave i'm thinking he is going to go fc all these dudes jordan is going to arrive to the next age he can't take gold now because he's harassing this ville he could go like spearman archer there's potential for that but dude you always been goes played insane today actually crazy he looks unbeatable right now well remember he he had to qualify for this event right as jordan did as well so he had to play a lot of rounds um he beat three uh slam 3-1 he then beat viper 3-0 and now he's beating jordan 3-0 so at the moment he has a combined score of like nine to one against gamer legion players in this tourney and gamer legion's pretty good okay jordan is gonna have good res and he's gonna have a market yo goes for a stable sorry my voice just super cracked there he goes for his table and uh he's still got the villager alive at the back that bill that yeah he just kept going around in circles and now jordan gives up on it yeah i would love it for yo okay he's making an outpost just a just a screw with jordan right now yeah because if you make a tower it gets battered down and post is helpful of course it's clicking up right after mr yo um what's he gonna go for he's got villagers on stone is he going for a castle you can see that you can see that i think yo could consider towering that stone right now he's towering his own gold i i mean honestly though if he thinks about the timing look at we should have one or two nights out before the castle's on the way up for jordan yo just walled deleted a wall remade the wall and now he's attacking the mining camp from jordan to be super annoying with that bill geez man he's got great vision dave because of the houses look at the vision on the left yep so there's really not a lot that will surprise him whereas jordan is playing a lot more in the dark right now um bloodlines on the way berber knights are cheap however yo he doesn't have the eco upgrades we've grown accustomed to seeing him get working on that now he doesn't have that much on food i think we're gonna see i like that he made the second stable away from that eagle from jordan although jordan should be able to expect two stables but well normally i'd say jordan is gonna go into monks villagers snuck away there was archers yo keeping him alive jordan i if i know jordan he's actually laughing at this right now yeah he's like come on this is ridiculous i cannot sit out of range no no no i can't right come on yeah in the corner maybe far corner other corner my corner that's gonna die he he was gonna try and wall that archer and i bet with his last gasp what a legend a scout was created by yo killed the eagle from jordan the reason i had mentioned maybe towering is because jordan's going to drop a castle here dave but what do you think about the castle spot there well it doesn't really secure him the access to the gold it denies access for yo but there's all these golds the two golds and the stone on the other side yeah that jordan needs to deal with still yo can't really pressure the top side it means the gold at the back is unassailable but if yo goes for a castle of his own on this bottom side eventually it could be jordan could be in trouble i'm just thinking about the unit comps we're going to have kamiyuk which is really exciting and then monks but jordan needs to get the monks out and then cameos cost food yep and both players actually have pretty crap food eco so i could see siege night being in high enough numbers where jordan's cameo monk plate doesn't work well here but it depends i i also have a lot of faith in yo because of the last three games so that's part of it i i'd love to see kameoka and kamayoka are going to be pretty good against like the manganals as well decent against the knights you just need enough mass good snipe on the night a bit sloppy there for yo it's like a gather point issue like he was thinking about heading there before the castle went up uh jordan he i think he just added farms to the south of the tc which i have to question but i might have missed that i might be wrong on that detail so how many cameos you need here like 10 before you can engage against this comfortably or i'm not honestly dude i'm not sure because if scorpions come out your biggest problem becomes that i think you're maybe looking towards redemption if you're jordan but that castle hasn't secured him a lot of additional goals it is it has kept him on it kept him in the situation he's already in but it does not protected any other resources i think the key here for yo is going to be that was a nice no-looker from that magnolia he didn't hit anything he here is going to be stone if you get a castle up you're feeling pretty good and he's gone to stone with two villas he's putting his tc gather point i believe on stone now yeah so if you get camel archers under the field feel really good against cam oaks also a castle placement over here on the left would seem decent um he just doesn't he only has 100 in the bank right now how many times have we seen games where jordan's at 350 stone and he can't take the other stone yeah that happened the previous game and i think it happened in one other game so he can the monks can't even drop off the relics at the at their home right now but yeah i mean there's no possibilities for jordan to really get another castle up and look at yo on the right this reminds me of i mean we're looking at pikio right now but piko has always been very attentive to the map he's scouting right now just to see if there's any money to find over there oh he needed a seat get into the tc uh he did no jordan overthought that a little bit i think yeah oh wow nice attack round 12 range there or something it's kind of sick decent amount of camera oaks now seven of them but i don't think that's that's not enough to engage this unless you convert a knight and take out all the siege i do think there's potential for jordan to at least stop this from getting out of hand and a good shot there he'll take a one for one one for one would actually be really good yeah now he can push now he can move out maybe not push but he can breathe a bit more yo getting stone mining yo is sitting at 270 stone yeah dave jordan needs to convert a cat dude a castle on that gold and on the farms the stone and everything on the left would be so good for yo you can't really counter attack like you're trying to think about what you can do if you're jordan you can't do much else except make cameos make monks and micro and oh big shot he's super unfortunate there not to get a kill there oh whoa what was that spin move and now he's going to engage no no no no no you don't want to engage here jordan judy anakin skywalker that let's try spinning drama there that's a good trick hey both players need to be careful with their monks especially yo because he doesn't even have sanctity yet actually neither does jordan so monks are very fragile right now yo is going to hope for repairs and he's also going to get a shot off that's a one for one as well yo just waiting dave it's like waiting for that kid of consider going in but he wants to be safe when he makes the castle i think he's fine with these consistent one for once he actually might snipe that with the scorpions no the villagers there in time those are not khmer scorpions and he actually went a little bit too far hammock number is building up and the night number isn't climbing at all so yo has to be very careful here okay another one for one it feels like jordan siege is just going to be in the wrong position though like the castle is probably going to be more towards the left of these houses it's going to be very hard for jordan to get siege over there in time if yo sends enough villagers forward also like what the hell yo already has heavy plow and bowser yeah like also getting all the relics right now yeah and jordan is still just sitting at feudal age eco upgrades and yo has wheelbarrow too and faster moving villagers so his economy has been so much better and that's not gonna be a one for one jordan's in trouble now castle's coming up now i think now that yo took that i think pull all the villas on the gold and the stone and maybe place it down and start thinking about going up to imp after that too oh he's gonna castle on the right oh maybe maybe doesn't quite know what jordan has behind this well i mean you also could say your army's controlling the gold right now so you don't need a castle there though he might just he might go up to imp like you said dave but he might just be doing it in a more uh less risky approaches jordan's gonna use the artist archer's coming in dude oh no two hp on the manga now i guess he'll be great if he thinks he's gonna be up there faster the castle over here is fine because then he just traps down the castle from jordan i don't know what the delete but it didn't work well to be honest i felt like the first shot was a direct hit so they we got evening out the score there if jordan takes out this manganol i think he can push here but oh wow that was super close yo loses his monks as well dude i always got to be careful here micro really good micro and he's got monks in here too this is bad this is really bad for you three that's probably a bet the best decision but now jordan will have confidence to push forward yo can click up right now yo can click up right now and he is up to the imperial age but the army numbers are just not there like you said he's probably gonna have to wall behind this retreat back to his castle over there we'll have gold to take wow this is crazy i mean you've got three monks one manganese i guess the problem now is can you do any more damage and he can make camel archers too yeah exactly to start fighting these cameos back so he didn't really have an answer to the kamehameha before other than his siege and maybe some of his monks but now he can have camel archers so well i still think it's good for jordan to be able to breathe he can now take his resources on the left we felt like it would have been gg if it wouldn't have happened there goes yo though pops out with the perfect timing on its siege and you know let's see has to come in too you can see that jordan is going over to those resources too i think the key for yo is the next castle he needs another castle ideally on the left yo likes to be patient with it but i could drop it now i think in front of that in front of that mining camp is like the ideal position right now but with the army there really tough let's see if you can go out here and get a good shot on this mangano from jordan jordan's not paying attention thank you go for the monks here yo oh sanctity is so cheap i don't understand why players have missed out on it here that'll be a one for one nope what one none one for one for none yeah well archer was in earlier on the night on the right so he has that i mean i guess this is all about scalability is cameo the unit you want to make against cambodia long term no not at all i don't think so not at all unless you can funnel them like through a narrow gap somewhere even then it's like you favor the camel archer i think if if a lot of us were playing in this game we would have bought the stone for the next castle and then we would have placed it already yo is confident that he's gonna be able to take good fights with imp upgrades and i think he's gonna take a position and then drop the castle that would be my guess right now no treb out right away either often times it's a decision between trebuchet and sanctity or not sanctity conscription though he is going for the trap now and there goes jordan but and you only have nine camel archers of hero it's not that many is up for jordan here though microring against this he loses the mangano camel archers are coming in he's got to be careful with these monks ballistics is in from mr yo so he's going to be able to snipe this stuff actually dodges around that shot somehow from the manga that was great stuff and jordan's attack rounding his own units what is happening i completely missed that don't think jordan can easily hit the trips but it's not like the trebs is super protected by the castle also only one so he's still going for more camel archer numbers not going for more than just one trip but jordan i guess has had stone problems so it's not like he can repair his castle forever and jordan's gonna have to switch unicomp completely here if he's gonna lose that castle hey why even delete that i think he thought he would lose it so yeah it's a bit weird well jordan converting a knight but that night second night his friend will come back and kill the monk in retribution still only one trip for mr yo attacking that castle jordan forced into repairing it so soon he's not gonna have enough stone for another one okay oh never mind i was looking at yo stone and yo bought stone and now jordan says gigi will play good luck in the finals and that's that's another sweep wasn't even close here now that game like that game was was different than some of the other ones that showed that yo can do different things but yeah uh spoilers sorry everyone but i don't feel as bad spoiling about this one but the first semi if you missed it there's also a 4-0 sweep from winchester against belgium and then this one here yo someone uh someone cue the boss music because we're about to go into an epic boss battle here between yo and winchester in the finals holy i'm not gonna cast it tomorrow but i'm going to say that joe wins 4-1 tomorrow all right well i'm going to be casting it so you can watch me at the baseball game i know you will be you'll have it i get like hit in the face with a foul ball like why weren't you paying attention um you'll have it up masters of sakotra yeah that's crazy performance from yo he just seemed on point with everything he did that was kind of nuts dude yeah i mean he just felt at home here and i think jordan played well but what impressed me with winchester and yo today is that i think both the players that lost against them did play well but they just looked foolish so frequently which feels backwards normally it's one person making big mistakes other person make the most of it but i didn't think there were a lot of mistakes really i just somehow whether yo lost villagers early or killed villagers early he was always ahead in futile always he always had control every single game no matter what happened i think this was the only game where jordan was faster to horse scholar as well the only game and then yo just backs that up with eventually he controlled the game so nicely and then he ended up having insane eco behind it um also he didn't get armor or attack on those night staves so he he did so much considering he didn't go for any upgrades just held the position long enough and the rest is history gg kind of nuts man i'm excited for tomorrow because winchester has looked amazing but yo is look like on another level i think i'd still have to favorite yo after this performance even though we saw some great things from winchester yeah i agree i think yo just three-owing viper and then furrowing jordan like what also um something we we should say and i think we've said it already but uh check out john sloa's channel too guys he's posted all this yeah so he's the one who's made it happen so make sure you give him some love uh whether it's now or tomorrow for the finals it's funny what i love about it is like everyone talks about socotra being a clown map yeah but john slow hates playing soccer he hates it but he loves to watch it so i don't want any part of it before your uh before we started casting your games i hopped into a john slow against uh god i can't even remember who it was but they were playing 1v1 islands oh god did he pick spanish again he went sicilians the other el matador was the player oh they well they don't hate each other they have a history anyways continue so matador when italians john slo has the most predictable thing of all time goes for a transport ship he gets two castles down on el matador's island and then el matador basically just base swaps with him that makes the castle yeah his strategy has just been transport because he doesn't like ireland so he just yellow that's what i was saying like come up against john slow with sicilians on islands just fc yourself because you know like he's gonna go for a castle there right yeah don't even go into water it's not worth it at all well despite the score line in the sets i had a lot of fun so glad you messaged me about casting uh have fun with the cast tomorrow i'm gonna play 1v1 or two probably gonna lose because i'm tired now but whatever gonna play some games all right dude thanks for thanks for joining me this is a really good like i said guys follow john slow it's a really great tournament and it's only three thousand dollars i think in prize pool 3300 33 33 333 yes whatever that means and for the next edition hopefully it'll be 4444 and then in like 10 years it'll be insane yep all right later man see ya dude thank you everyone for tuning in appreciate it that was a stomp just like the first set was also a
