Mr Yo vs Liereyy | King of the Desert 3 Semifinal #2 (Best of 7)

[Music] and let's 14. now leary likes to pick green a lot i also realized that there's a lot of people out there who can't do these colors combined so we're gonna do um we're gonna put leary in the red for this series and uh game number one again nilly should be joining at some point so don't be surprised if you hear him uh incas for yo in game one second semi-final oh gee you scared me man all right well hi nilly i said don't be surprised and then you surprised me how's it going i like surprises yeah okay so we put uh the chinese borrier is not in red we put lyrium red well remember we talked about this before i think leery's all from austria there's also red but it's more red all right all right i'm fine with doing yo and red so we do leary in blue and then we do uh yo and red and mr yo is incas against japanese fun sit matcha oh yeah and that's a really low pick as well right then we have leery japanese isn't it this last pick if we look at that again i don't know if it was his last pick but it was near the end yeah so near the end of his sieve drafts he may be saving some civilizations for later on uh yo it was one of his later picks nilly but it's yo so uh he's a beast with incas yeah yeah absolutely and it was the only mesosift that was given to him right we saw that we realized okay mr yo loves to play those eagles played them really really deadly in his earlier rounds as well and we saw the ban of ad6 and the pick of mayhem's valerie so mr yo only left with one out of three ego serves the japanese they they square off well against incas uh one thing that you could see from incas is the villager rust with japanese have the faster attacking men at arms another thing you can see from incas is eagles japanese still have the infantry there japanese have probably better dark age flexibility with the cheap mills mining camps and lumber camps as well so there's there's many options out there and yes incas are civilization that have options themselves but japanese counts or incas with well will be lovely to see how louis is trying to approach this one and look at that weird move larry is actually collecting gold out of the center of the pack so in case mr yo stop spy most of the time you only click the two gold mines that are closer to your opponent to the tc and he might get fooled here mr yo well i think before mr yo even finds that gold he's going to have the militia at his base this is a really fast rush from leary and dave and i were talking about how much leary loves to go with militia into archers the militia are here and yo could be down a villager here if leary blocks properly let's take a look instant reaction by mr yodo good start here but well if he forces four villagers off that could be a small win for larry already gets them really low oh it should be a block it should be a kill here and that's huge yeah villager down and the fact that joe's off of berries i said it uh before you hopped in nearly if leery gets off to fast starts in games he's very very hard to stop i also think fast starts in series because he's not a player i've seen come back from being down a lot of games before probably true i don't remember a single comeback story of larry honestly yeah remember him either winning or well or not some rough months yeah and i think this this like this cheeky move with going for the non-standard gold there really helped out because yo did scout the gold but didn't see the barracks now take some villagers to fight back for his berries he's gonna want those berries uh and yo is on the way to feudal in the first quarter final we saw mbl lose two villagers in dark age but then got the futile faster and ended up coming back with the power spike there so there's definitely some possibilities here for yo it's just going to be really tough to micro this even with loom let's take a look village at 15 hp on the big difference there from mbl he was obviously able to do some damage as well mr yo mr yo is like all right knocked viper out of the quarterfinals and now i'm going to use his tricks i i've never seen i mean a lot of players are quick blowing nowadays but i've never seen yo as a player who does that that frequently that's a nice villager save yeah also like for mr yord is the trickiest thing right he is probably the best player with the worst ping conditions that's true as well yep i don't know what server they're on but uh there's a bit more lag between them and that's what's still there that that stop you know no i guess not it's genius i'm ingenious tristan my bad oh god we have the burning bush over here at yo's base i'm kidding it's biblical man um and we'll see a few archers and leary will probably follow this up with archers do you think leeroy would be well you know he is tempted nearly answered the question i was going to ask he's going to add more militia and continue to use the japanese infantry okay but for now only the fourth one three villagers on gold kind of indicating that he wants to follow it up with archers but yeah not really looking to put out the bushfire here yeah i just yeah the fire's gone now i just love how clean the eco looks for leary every time he plays he gets early control and of course this is the japanese luxury as well but he's got two lumber camps he's got two ranges coming up he's still got you know he's still threatening mr yo even though mr yo has that one archer there what do you think about the archer range placement here by leary most players would have kind of built them in front of the gold and wood there at the bottom more yeah i don't like it i think that could be something that haunts him later on it's really surprising and he's got a lot of confidence to stay out here right now the man at arms upgrades in the attack speed's there for japanese too but you mentioned it last time we cast like how frequently do you see men at arms at this stage do much normally it's not going to catch a player like yo off guard yeah that that's what made the mbl game so special right how much he made happen there but those two players are absolutely in top shape at the moment and you see mr yo two archers enough to scare those metal arms here yeah and then we've got two skirmishers from leary so i think that was part of his plan and so suddenly this is looking a bit more awkward for you because now yo still has the villagers forward there he's got to add his own skirmishers but what i like he does have an eagle out he could always add a few more uh eagles become more of an option once demanded arms are taken care of well one ambitious villager there wanted to take the fight obviously manadam is really low on hp there interesting thing to mention is that larry did go for double archer range something we don't see too often nowadays simply because it delays your fletching for so long yep and so he doesn't have fletching especially leery too leery loves fast fletching low numbers so he can micro yum a yo is playing dangerous games with villagers like he has so many weak ones he's gonna lose one here oh he actually used the the higher hp villager to block temporarily there nearly that was slick oh crazy move indeed six to 12 military at the moment lily in full control look at that nine population lead at the moment that early in the game without too much happening honestly i think that's the two ranges catching up he is housed temporarily pretty bad one actually both villagers and the range is idle and we'll see i mean this is what you expect from leery early feudal pressure it almost feels like empire wars when you're watching leery play standard age of empires nowadays so much pressure he's dancing a bit would have loved to see just one two houses there to block of the woodline make it a bit easier for him he needs to dance he needs to use its range advantage can't really do it because numbers are just so slim yeah exactly just two skirms here also eagles cannot contribute i think maybe in the back of leery's mind he's okay with getting the men at arms upgrade yes he hasn't killed anything but it's always a threat to eagles which would be more dominant for yo if they weren't there fletcher finished for leery and now it gets really dire 1827 military and that only gets lower larry dives in deep yeah this is ridiculous man he delayed fletching but it never mattered nilly seven kills three deaths despite the good uh micro from yo to keep the villagers alive and this might just be over this is ridiculous and it is holy 16 minute game to start off this best of seven so the first the first semi-final i think was under two hours best of seven when mbl won and i was talking about how well one game played out into imp another game ended right when someone hit him but all the others ended in castle this one ended in feudal age my goodness look at that 9-3 kd as well already do we see a game ending that early and leery maybe just saw something that we didn't that he felt okay i have a timing there my archery ranges if i have the shorter reinforcement lines i can pressure my opponent so heavily with those skirmishers and he simply delivered yeah i mean it was a straight line to the berries from those archer ranges that's a good point and also nearly the reason you we didn't like the ranges was because as the game goes on it's not going to protect the gold the guy wasn't even walling he doesn't care he's just like i want to kill fast so i can prepare for the final tomorrow but there's going to be a lot of games man and uh yo is not going to roll over quickly yeah and literally just yeah i make that this game won't last too long yeah that's crazy but you know what's so interesting about leary um he's probably the player who walls the least in feudal age compared to any other pro i don't know if you agree on that but i feel like he when he does wall and feudal it's after he realizes okay i'm not gonna end the game here i've gotta um i've actually gotta do this thing i've gotta get walls down boring hmm he he is a guy that rush into flashes a lot yeah yeah and that allows you to wall later right because your opponent has to send his army home first and therefore i think he is allowed to wall later and gets away with it more okay well um we can speculate all we want but uh expect a lot more of that he has ethiopians at his disposal vietnamese at his disposal joe's got to know that more militia are coming early and yeah we'll hop into game number two shortly are you surprised at how quick that all developed there was there anything that yo could have done differently nilly well make sure to jump into the game because it's already loaded up tristan and i think well just walling your villagers at the berries right yeah and it's just so much smoother he was lacking so much food there for so long and then it made it tough for him to really produce okay only one archery range as well yeah i mean we talked about the benefit of going one range but yeah we'll be in the next game sorry i this bug continues to haunt me where i have to restart my game in between games so my game is just about to load up and i'll be in with you what civ match what we're looking at there we're looking at vietnamese against mongols larry is going for vietnamese uh quite surprising pig honestly not really considered to be one of the strongest civilization obviously the bonus on this map where you feel like okay laming and stealing some sheep might be a good option but mongol should be good against that literally because he's the starting to see of his opponent you are jumping into the game now i hear yeah exactly so i'm gonna switch the colors back we'll keep these colors consistent throughout the day today it's too laming sieves and another sieve for leery where he can go for the militia into archers quite well yeah yeah i think so as well his map though if we look at the gold and berries well he will need to build his archer rangers pretty much to the front i just got back up to normal time here nearly yeah leary uh he sees where yo is at and he's he's tempted maybe to take that elephant but i think joe's too close to all of that and it would be a mistake to do that yeah the golds are on the front that's true i don't like that mr yo is already pushing dear look at that he has so little vision that he goes to what i would call a horrible lumber camp there he had such a safe lumber cam in the back yeah yeah i think that's sometimes the downside of mongols you feel like you need the hunt and you don't scout as much even having that bonus and it's kind of common for mongols to go for just one lumber camp as well so it's not like he's going to be on two he might opt to do that later we'll see did leery scout the lumber camp he could see that the woods being chopped there at least and he's come right on home what i'm waiting for is will there be a pre-mill barracks there's gotta be four and wood kind of indicating that exactly what that is the villager underneath his tc he lost the villager nilly and he has five really low hp villagers as well that is so weird what happened four wow okay well that's gonna set him back a bit uh and he's making the mill so he's not thinking about getting the draw shot yeah anyways he's missing two sheep at the front kind of unfortunate do you think he will start considering pushing some deer in no he takes the long route around yeah i think he's looking for the goats so by the time he finds them it's going to be decision time if he wants to drush or not so there's the argument to be made against drushing mongols because mongols are normally in feudal age so quick that you're not able to really get the damage in and then they're in feudal and you're delayed and stuck in dark age so maybe leery thinking about i mean it might have had something to do with the bill lost as well but maybe he's keeping that in mind and at arms maybe but there's still problems like what do you do if mongols get momentum against you as vietnamese well obviously you have to play defensively then have a solid civilization to defend your eco upgrades are cheaper you get your eco rolling you can easily defend with archer skirm but getting on the map and getting the aggression will certainly be tricky and that's where mongols shines so much yep i like how yo is thinking about the wood problem nearly he's taking the back lumber so now if he gets towered or there's archers there he can just relocate them it's a long journey but he's taking advantage of the backwood line and that might be the real problem area for yo that and and maybe i'd say stoney's got a stone in the back but i wouldn't even have mangadai in your mind at this stage of the game if you're mongols it's going to take forever to get there yeah it's it feels like more okay we have the aggressive wood line mill there at the front as well all the gold spots it feels way more likely that an aggressive siege workshop will be dropped then that we see mango die before minutes 35. for those that saw how nbl played mongols in his quarter-final game one he was very defensive which is an mbl thing to do but he tried to make the manga die without having a lot of map control and velez was able to punish that i think yo is is going to think more about being aggressive taking control of the game and then making that switch if the time allows man i'm looking at leary's eco he's got one villager on two separate goats he already lost the villager in dark age i mean after game one i was not expecting things to be this sloppy from his perspective in game two it is weird that mr yo not really scared of lyria out there on the map did actually go to feudal age without loom now builds the stable lurie instantly scouts it yeah leery might think twice about sticking around here because the longer you're here you always going to see that yeah yo is hunting down that scout he's looking for it he knows he's in futile he has the extra speed and attack i think leery might just make it away oh or not yep this is going to be good for it's going to be close actually there's a hill there i think larry can simply run don't think so like yeah he's sure we're reaching for legs any second what's happening here why is he taking this fight is he walling what the i'm so confused after game one leery has had a disaster for starting game two i guess he was walling up an archer range without being on gold what year is it tristan it's it's uh 2003 again spearman and skirmishers coming what on earth i mean you mentioned the bonuses of vietnamese and they can be quite greedy in this situation you can get all your eco upgrades but not only is he not on gold he's also walled using his gold so that can always be ranged if yo makes a switch yo might even be confused himself right now one on earth here's the outer edge how many golds did mr yo scout he's actually scouted all three gold so he should have a good intel he knows that lyric can only go for skirms right now yeah and if like yo against viper was just a master class on how to control games how to deny resources joe's game sense is so good and he's making a range already for some skirms walling up you can do this with mongols if you can't kill fast you can just fall back start investing into farms and to get a few skirms out in this situation here comes leary 2003 builds and yeah needs to get some comes out the moment you have two scams though you easily defend this one so shouldn't be a big problem mr joe continues building scouts here up to five already all right and leary's still not on gold i guess in this position you don't want to make archers because joe's already on skirm so it sounds crazy but maybe you just go i mean he's going to give up on map control which is really bad but maybe he has to tower his gold soon and goes up to a stable or maybe even castle agent knights just look at lyrics move goes out there two spearmen two scum scouts in archery range and he knows okay i'm counted here i will never do any damage and goes back that's something i would never do but it's actually the right choice yeah i think you you play defensive and passive here and count on those you know the eco technologies that you got but it's not leery man this is not how leery tends to win games it's so peculiar to see something like chad just said this strategy is older than larry himself [Laughter] oh man yeah i think actually i'm wrong saying 2003 as well as he goes back into his base i think actually earlier than that that full trash was the meta he doesn't need that much on gold right i think four villages on gold might be enough just get bortkin get elite skirm that's kind of it c sees the army now he's fletching should be somewhat scared this is why i think leary needs a tower like sneak stable in the back tower because your gold is going to be ranged even if you wall like this your gold's going to be ranged by enemy skirmishers it is lyrics though he will be fine right the goal is on a hill that he can use so fighting skirmish skirm is okay for him he also knows he used his archer range consistently and his opponent had to have the archaeological later yeah fair is there a gap between those palisades i can't i can't quite tell that that would be a pretty big deal yeah leary even buying more space for himself to fight so not how leary would have wanted to open up the game but maybe he feels like the only way to deal with mongols again is there a hole there there's a hole there [Music] all right well villager goes down i guess it could have been worse i i am not pretty here okay d now one two four four larry and yeah just tries to defend with the skirmishers uh oh like what is his transition out of here like mr yo builds it forward siege workshop larry is dead that's why i think eventually he wants to go stable but yeah it's very weird okay so if this do you think yo is tempted to tower this gold hmm i i think yes but i i still think he won't simply because he has so much army there yeah and he's annoying it anyways yeah he's controlling the position anyways yeah it's a good point i think maybe if it was 2016 you know towers that if it was vivi he towered it in the fifth minute but vivi has not hasn't made it this far but yeah i think the meta is just so suited towards keeping your eco strong and controlling things with military and not investing into the forward tower but it looks tempting okay 12 seconds here for the defense for larry mr yo is annoying with his five tries to run to run around a bit with the scouts and seize the market of larry and that's most of the time a good indicator that your opponent is not up to castle yet yep it might buy some res it looks like the up times will be pretty freaking close and the economies and i guess as far as comp goes it is a split comp for mr yo he's got only five skerms and uh five scouts he's got less military numbers if this becomes ranged unity ranged it will be fine for lyrium plus these vietnamese with the extra hp on the skirms yeah i think mr yo won't stay on those skirmishes it feels more likely that forward siege workshop plus a second stable yeah okay um yeah i've got to make a change here on my end everybody no worries um yeah i think we'll see stables and then probably from that a play would be to go for knights and potentially camels if you're mongols yeah yeah that doesn't make the biggest difference in my opinion just have some meat shield i think the manganal is the key unit here against larry right he's so cornered and literally knows okay i died to any early castle edge push so he goes for a stable himself even double stable i like that choice yeah double stable is good control the map i mean so far leary he has lost more villagers oh sorry as many villagers to an elephant as he has mr yo so i suppose that's a positive positive for the elephants yeah they can tell some stories yeah it's like you might not be here but let me tell you what he did there's legends being told what's a typical first name for an elephant oh god i uh francisco what do you say charles klaus i like manfred people are saying dumbo yeah dumbo the elephant's a thing well that that's too typical no yeah it's like a known elephant creative people besties i have to say people were coming up with some weird suggestions uh the suggestions are about as weird as leary's play has been so far uh and libra's moving out finally yeah but only with two spearmen there that could be sniped should be sniped let me see what's going for it no this gum number isn't that high either and the spearmen still surviving knights are now out and that should be a clear up and a half yeah like i guess leary was thinking oh i'm going to go to knights he's not going to expect it he's going to continue with skirms but yo only had a few of them so i i think it should have been clear what was going to happen there but leary is really confident when it comes to micro even in a situation like this uh more confident than i would be that's for sure i'd be running back to my base well and i think you're doing the right choice there it is bloodlines for both players but plus one plus one for mr you already that's a good fight for mister yo not sure why lira is taking it yeah the weird one he runs forward with the skirmish he's so confident in these fights he's like maybe the the damage output from the skirms is enough to make the difference with all the upgrades or the lack of upgrades there will be a monastery for yo and good microphone yo to save that but i think it will go down but the skirmishers say goodbye leery another round i wouldn't be surprised if he jumps into the tc with those yeah yeah yo is going to be on three town centers interesting so he's on two already and then the third is where oh it's forward so it's in front of that wood line and that was the wood line you had pointed out as a problem area so it's not the prettiest tc ever but i think that's a good area to protect yeah well he won't get too much wood there right but yeah that's the big problem with kotd arabia right so many hulls you aren't always happy with dtc's that you conduct yup just two tcs for leery so he's floating a bit more in the way of food you think to make some nights uh similar comps we have two stables one monastery one siege workshop uh only difference is that yo has got more melee units and the skirmisher is kind of useless right now for leary but i know it's leery i know he'll be tempted to use those against monks i've been surprised what's larry's plan there with his five nights like is there is no hole right i i guess he's hoping that there's going to be some type of a gap so he can start to take control over the fights but yeah he's not gonna break through and yo we'll deal with that with the camels that's no problem for mr yo and leary will run on home uh this is about to get interesting on the front i hope their magnet micro is good and their monk micro three monks for leary looks like mr yo even has husband too and lyric doesn't so that is lovely that he will get some kills there now triple monk conversion though oh one gets two oh man and now the scouts and the knights move in after the monks from leery looks like leary's gonna lose all of his monks and yo we'll still have the monks alive look at the score look at the kd look at the eco yoah's head in every single aspect forward let's take a look larry is having one already is having two more production cancels one this is going to be tricky down to only one monk now gets the second one villager slight advantage there for mr yo as well do you think larry has to build uh 30 c soon or is he under too much pressure i think he's under too much pressure he might do it because it's an insane they're playing both playing at an insane level but i think you've got to put that food or would rather into farms so you can get a few more units yeah there's the tc if he if he gets the tc up and then he's able to fight back here you never know he would be falling further and further behind but yo with the conversions he gets one he gets two gets three three yeah i think so as well oh that's so so good for him and well that just cements his advantage but to mangled doing some solid work now do you think that's enough army for mr yoja's army value is pretty close surprisingly yeah i what's tough is the monks like this fight could swing into leary's control with some conversions but yo has more monks and could get more conversions however there's magnels and could snipe those long so it's really tough to say uh yo with the shot i didn't expect that to get a kill and i guess the magnet will now go down because it's out of position big advantage here for mr yo is that he has way more vision as well so he can convert from longer distance since he has the houses that's got to be i mean that's huge yo still got monks back here so we can still get additional conversions all the monks are down for leery the magnel has just come out of the siege workshop to pressure the gold it's six military verse 21 and this game might not be ending quite as quick as leary ended game number one but i think that it's going to be just as dominant performance for the winner here this is mr yo is everywhere now goes for a very desperate raid but three camels easily chasing that one down and is it time for larry to make a tech switch or like he can't come back with just continuing the same thing but starting with zero numbers against 15. so if he would have taken a good fight there and then had the stone to build a castle he protects both these golds then he can start making that tech switch but i think there's no there's no world in which he can comfortably make a tech switch and even if he gets a castle up as leery sacrifices some knights to take out the uh siege the castle's not gonna be in front oh wait okay well it's not in front of the tc but it's not as ideal as it would have he would have wanted but what keeps mr yo from diving here that's one night one monk against 15 knights and an aggressive caster by mr yo so you was like i don't need to deny this forever i just need to get my own castle up and here come the villagers 15 villagers forward mr yo making his mark here in these semi-finals yeah this is game over wow what a performance 79 villagers but more eco behind this we barely looked at joe's base in this that's so true well he was walled and then just supplied the pressure it's simply because larry played so defensively and it loudly aggression in his face is it too harsh as casters to say that leery played bad in this game uh well there will always be people saying it for us there you can always say like yo they still beat us let's say he didn't play up to standards yeah i think so as well i mean without the elephant killing that villager in dark age the word bad wouldn't come to mind you know uh but it was overall very sloppy and yo punished a lack of a game plan for leary uh 53 kills 31 units lost and i'm gonna quickly restart the game before we get into game three nilly i didn't ask you what your prediction was for the series um did you have a prediction i i i said it's pretty pretty close i gave both players the same chance of actually winning the tournament i only said that i would be really surprised if we don't see at least six games yeah okay fair not taking any big risks but fair i if i had to guess it's four to yo but four to literally wouldn't surprise me at all yeah exactly well right now it's 1-1 so uh anyone who might have predicted a sweep uh not only or you've got to get off of drugs uh you were incorrect on that but we haven't seen the top tier civilizations picked yet i think yo did draft mongols second so he likes his mongols but uh there's still plenty of solid civilizations out there and i like how the players are pacing themselves with the strength of the sieves they pick i'm not really sure how much of an advantage this to delay them some people say you don't want to start with your strong sift i i didn't understand the logic yet why you should yeah fair well i think the only way it looks bad is if you lose the series and then you have strong sieves available um i'm going to have to think back to disagree with that even what's that yeah i actually disagree with that you think so like yeah if you're down to zero you aren't forced to take your best sif in game three because you need to win every three games anyway so you basically only have to put yourself in the position to have the highest win percentage for all three games but i think i think logically it does put players under more pressure if they're at a disadvantage in the score line right i i don't know maybe everyone's just a robot at the high level but if i'm down two games i'm feeling a lot worse than i am if it's tied one one so i don't know it i understand what you're saying with that and with best of sevens we speculating over the sieves is uh even worse than a best of five because there's so many civilizations available yeah i think it's also a bit random going wild there it makes it easier once we have like different maps and can see some tendencies civilizations are good on one maps but here i honestly think it's a bit random but also if you want to learn more about that there is a nice insight of mr yo translated on reddit he said what he thought about the picks of viper and that sounded like it made a lot of sense as well okay yeah i didn't see that um trying to get the draft here guys remember mr yo eat viper 3-0 it was not a fluke victory he looked really good and viper said after the fact obviously he was disappointed that he had lost but he felt like he's in good shape in general so i think the level has risen in many ways i'm looking at the saved draft now if you know just so people are aware uh yo picked mongols and yo jump into the game oh yeah okay well if we got a game we'll just do that yeah but yeah yeah uh you heard mongols you had also malians i'm pretty sure and i if i remember correctly larry had little aliens oh you you know what wow nilly you're so attentive man you're right look at this it's almost like you were in the game or something uh the colors well i think we'll keep it consistent but leery's like i lost a game i've got to go yellow now instead of green that's interesting leery is playing lithuanians in the north of the map and malians in the south a matchup we've seen before nilly and a really fun one well it is both kind of are strong incarcerates right lithuanians want to fight for the relics malians so good like for have the full texturing cassette you can go crossbow skir manga an option the knights you can go siege and i just love castle age full-on aggression and i think this matchup is inviting it yeah it's a fun matchup and i think if it's going towards castle age and the strength there then i think it comes down to control leading up to it perfect example of what you don't want is the previous game leary was on the back foot in early feudal and then was on the back foot in early castle so i think this game will have to be more competitive when it comes to the mid game and i expect it to be as well uh malians do have yes lithuanians start with more food but i've seen more often than not at least with players other than leery scouts from lithuanians uh malians oftentimes don't really trust and or interrupting no you're fine not really sure why mr yo feels like taking that one probably wants to open man at arms and thanks okay if my opponent is going for scouts oh gets an extra head off yeah he does get an extra hit i actually like how he stayed there because staying there means that leary has to pull a villager and that's just temporary idol time uh leary's about to add a barracks yeah we're going to see a dress from him and not scouts interesting okay lyrie is a guy who loves to mix it up right in his quarter final he also played a drush with khmer i know my first yeah like if it wasn't leary you're if it was a coaching session you're just like don't do this but with leary anytime he makes militia into archers it seems to work out for him also though in a coaching session you're coaching meta he is playing his opponent right he's trying to break the meta so that makes way more sense well normally i'd agree with you there but i feel like leary does it against everyone i don't maybe he feels like everyone is so much worse at dealing with it than he would be but uh leary i think regardless of his opponent he's gonna want to make some militia throughout a series like what japanese vietnamese lithuanians ethiopians he has so many good russians well let's see how he plays didn't really go for too many cavalry stuff right i don't really remember who has frank's lithuanians could have been an option for well also the scout opening is not going for oh my god these are missing each other okay so if you look at leary he has not scouted the barracks so he might have an idea because he just saw villager on gold but he has not scouted the barracks and so he does not know the militia arriving and here they are right before loom and good reaction from leary to quick wall but luma's a bit too late and yo should get a veil kill oh that is so rough and honestly like oh what was it not on three hp i thought it was on four hp and then it on one hp yeah that would make more sense i thought that was dead and i think yo did as well so we're a bit i need lucky there that one i didn't i didn't really pay close attention because i just assumed here comes leery and mr yo is already prepped with some walls so he's got his gold in the back his barry's protected uh leary is on the way to feudal age behind this though which is so sick 10 35 really smooth timing indeed and mr yo quite surprisingly like what is he up to he now goes for loom but only 300 foot yeah but is this not i feel like with a standard build you have two or three farms so it's really weird to me it's two farms if i'm being exact it's weird to me how he hasn't clicked yet definitely could have done so i think he might play this fast castle and just build some mill in the back yep that's dangerous against leary because leery will usually go one range and fast archers but i think you're with you i'm with you here if he hasn't clicked up the feudal yet if he's just now building farms this might be a fast castle build pretty risky against the aggression from leery but so far the walls are up and he will have access to the resources he needs sends way more villagers zebra there i'm a bit surprised normally the spot where you want to mill now seven on zebra yeah maybe no mill for him uh the drush could still really work well and leary just brings this militia back which is a smart move he's protecting the ostrich you will kill that yeah joe is like i'll take this if nothing else or not well larry doesn't want to it's another militia after losing one is going for the archer range and ghost aggressively feels like he can defend with the villagers at home yeah not that scared yeah so a few quick walls there has the proper amount on gold double bit axe man at arms here comes that pressure yo is just now on the way to feudal he will take in all the food it seems from the the hunt will he be able i mean the berries could be pressured the woodline can be pressured it just feels like such a risky strategy to go fc here just think about it like it's not illegal thing but the forward tower behind this one yeah yeah leary's going to want all of his villagers at home but you're right certain players would already be sending villagers forward to tower that yeah and i think it would absolutely be the right decision right but what leery what leary finds himself in these situations where people can't wall behind too frequently because he'll have an archer there so quickly village at the front next to the archer range tristan should probably go down is he trying to delete the house there scout even saved oh will the villager get the scout no the scout's saved oh nice job yo as well yeah and the archer is at home too it has not come forward so this is precious time for mr yowan as i look at this it seems a lot more likely that mr yo might be able to get away with the fast castle food isn't too hot and honestly right 600 here not the biggest amount of resources where she building oh he built a stable okay so do you think that with that back gold maybe you turn this into a bit of market abuse uh i think it's more of a blacksmith to get the forward siege workshop up uh yeah okay so knights and siege possibly but low eco nights in siege and he's dropped off the wood that market i think he's gonna like malians get the uh gold bonus as well right yeah so you send a few extra villagers to gold and then you just buy a ton of res it's it's a bit lackluster at the start i think because you're not going to have the blacksmith as oh leery could break through [Music] that's how i might be going up behind this one and honestly i'm not sure if i like this one too much this tower it will stop the breakthrough but it will not really defend your woodline yeah now i think he's got to go for either house walls or stonewalls on the right side wait no he just bought stone he just bought stone for another tower when he needs it interesting he's gonna place it there should probably go up five villagers there not the biggest problem meanwhile at home very easily out micros militia is what i'm saying but i'm wrong oh no he migrated 2hp is still fine against militia not the first time in this game we've seen leery keep units alive on their uh last breath you're right the tower behind that wood line would have been so sick mr yo now sends two villagers out wants to get the aggressive siege workshop tristan i predict that mr yo will sit at 200 wood okay well he's gonna get more wood continue he'll get to 200 again and he has a blacksmith and therefore can build a siege workshop oh great prediction now leary does he know that those villagers have escaped doesn't look like he does he sees that the palisade wall is open no and that's that's not to give away maybe yeah maybe it's ah he didn't scout the walls earlier uh so he i see okay it looks towards us honestly i feel like it's easy for us to say from this position that that's the case he finally gets to the wood line it's unlike leary to not at least have had one archer on this wood line earlier he's had like five minutes and knights will come out and clear that up now so that's the worry for leary and now leary might be thinking wait a second is he forwarding me i don't see anything yet this is love to see archer's patrolling on the outside they reward the complete top side there yeah he's still oh that stitch works up and larry is not patrolling far enough nilly i i have been it has been a challenge a personal challenge of mine to not say the name huang as frequently because i've you know i bring it up more than i should at times but huang has changed the game in some ways the the forward siege workshop two stable nights low eco all in push didn't see it as frequently until d e and a certain player who likes to pick a lot of celts can leary hold will he spot this i think it's also the map a lot right because it works so much better like this gold spot that larry has to work with on the arabia that we had on the ladder earlier you always had a defensive goat sport or could well so much more and then the strategy is just so much weaker interesting so leery might be okay here against this type of a push you just need to take good early engagement whether the early storm and the archers and the man at arms have worked well one night down one scorpion down and mr yo has to back away with his forward at least for the time being that was horrible yep now two nights out can take some more shots that could be a lot of splash damage larry with the clumped up formation cannot spreads it yeah a little bit more patience for yo here it might wait for the second scorpion and the second monk or sorry the first monk a few more nights uh leary probably needs to back away and i love the staple edition stable dish is so important here yeah now it feels not unnatural with lithuanians as well right so really love that one also as you mentioned in another of our cast redemption monks could be lovely and monks something he won't mind either with lithuanians go show pikemen first it's also worth pointing out that leary sold 100 stone to have this up time so he couldn't build the tower not that would have been the play but oh geez leery off of gold he does have golds over to the other side but he's not on it yet this is what this type of push can do it can hit you at just the right time or if you're playing yourself it's just the worst time pikeman crossbow coming in we couldn't afford bodkin economy and shambles not a single villager working on gold at the moment some food and yeah he just uses the market more salt another 100 stone here yeah yeah he did he sold 100 stones so what's he gonna have crossbow and pikeman i mean everything that yo has out counters leary's push or leery's mask but leary could micro it if the knights and the scouts are used effectively you never know this is going to be fun to watch and still no siege workshop no monastery the typical buildings that you want to have against that right so i think mr yo he's actually building towards a really good army simply because he has siege and his opponent is not really having a counter to that so we get into the rare scenario that time is actually ticking for mr yo wait what do you what do you mean i'm sorry most of the time if if you like all in you have to do damage with your army right sure but at the moment mr yo's army gets so much stronger because his opponent is not really building counter units what i'm confused at what i'm confused on is you said the clock is ticking for mr yo you mean positively or negatively positively yeah yeah yeah yeah no i only have good clocks nearly german german clocks is like efficiently like it's 4 p.m it's time to drink beer ah the clock is ticking forward okay that's not true i was i was in hamburg people's drink way before 4 p.m come on like kev for leery we didn't say it 4 a.m or p.m uh that's true yeah four a.m that's that's breakfast and yeah and and it is also it's not too difficult for yo to switch out of this and go into a boom cause eco's not the worst at home okay that one has to hit big yeah again the light cap like light calf knight could take out the scorpions and the magnels but the monks are still there there's not many nights for leery i'll say that and now the pikemen pop out of the tc now they're back in the tc there's the magnolias takes out a scorpion we'll have another surprise here with the pikemen some of it just down nights are diving in deep is that worth it is that worth it the monks are on the right side they're all exposed the monks will go down that happened how were the monks there i i wasn't even paying attention to it nearly that's normally not where they would ever be the monks needed to be behind the scorpions and then he could have healed all his knights because he has so many low hp knights now i think he's switching he was adding the tc i think he was booming he's he's shifting focus a little bit remember leary doesn't have the second tc everyone so yo still should be better off he's got 12 more villagers which is crazy dropping to see number three now and yeah that's just so so good for him magnum dance continues if he trades off one for one that is good for him won't get the kill oh wow but the micro and now we could trade off one for one nope okay magnum might end up going down but yeah okay so the monks go down nilly but look at the losses leery's about to take he could lose his tc uh this he will have the potential to counter attack but this is so bad for leery economically yeah but that's such a bad counter attacking army as well right pikeman and some crossbow without watkin after losing your starting oh and the tc went down and so it's gg mr yo has responded twice now with clinical games we've yet to see a game go to the imperial age um so maybe not the most competitive games but a competitive series absolutely and that is that is brutal right it's it's tricky does larry maybe not know how to counter this because remember larry is a guy that does not play letter he does not play this yeah he does not play huang and every day every player that plays letter plays against huang on a daily basis [Laughter] and it's also when leary does play ranked games he plays very early eu time so i think he plays it like well for my time like maybe like 10 a.m 11 a.m and then i think he moves on and huang is never on at that time so it's both inactivity on the ladder and also maybe not playing actively when huang plays even though huang plays all the time and nearly he didn't add the monastery he didn't even think of going redemption monks he didn't go the siege workshop until it was way too late i i think you're right he just doesn't have experience against that type of a bush i think the the worst thing was that he knew his opponent is going fast castle into a stable so most likely knights yeah and he didn't use his archers to scout yeah it is so likely that there's a siege workshop coming and he had four archers just sitting next to his gold yeah that's true he did find it but i think it was too late at that time he could deny it yeah his army is opponent doesn't so easy to say for us but then it is interesting normally leary's able to get by with his lack of ranked games right because he just trains for tournaments shows up when he needs to certainly regardless we can't question his skill level uh but yeah there that maybe that cost him and maybe yo thought about that one because i wasn't liking joe's position with the drush fc there i feel like it's so risky but it worked out the map wasn't inviting to it right but lily not really the guy that punished it well at least this time but still solid picks for leary left right here's mae and cs franks yes khmer he will have games with way more map control to come yeah all right well uh hey do you know let me know if the next game starts by the way did it start already oh it did okay oh god you're kidding a classic matchup to come so let me get this straight we just spent the last five minutes talking about how leary doesn't have a lot of experience versus huang and yo after that win goes for celts this is so perfect we'll get to see rounds two here potentially a leary in the blue in the south playing as the frank's great civ and the first time he's picked not the first time he's picked a strong scout civ because he had lithuanians but uh maybe the first time he will actually go scouts and then joe's in the north playing as the celts nilly and we also said okay larry he didn't really have the map control to deal with the extra siege workshop franks should be more active on the map should go for a lot of doubts so i think this one at least should play out differently yeah it should play on the feudal age i think again it's so risky to go fc but it doesn't mean that the matchup is all that good for frank's does it right you've got the faster spears up against you scouts have great eco in the mid game uh they're booming it's incredible uh i would say that frank's in many ways it's an even stiff matchup because franks have uh probably the better eco in dark age and feudal with the forge bonus and then you also have the farm bonus they have the cheap castles they have axemen as an option against pikeman oh no i like it and it's a classic like you said x-men obviously tricky you if we get into the low economy scenario but yeah certainly the transition will be lovely there x-men once we get to them could be a really sick thing also i mean we have to mention lyrics map looks pretty solid with a lot of wood lines yeah also if he were to lose the main gold he could so easily just shift over to the gold in the left like if if a huang push comes in i'm with you i think this plays out in the feudal but yeah he could wall off the wood lines actually his woodline looks amazing unless there's range humans behind it then he only has the small nugget in the south so that's something we have to keep in mind no yeah yeah actually pretty true the other side joe's map well very very small that could be like uh one screen wallet how this map looks like yeah looking at it wall to the right could wall in the middle yeah we'll see you know what's interesting i think leary is already telling us what he's going for he's got three on wood and he's already pre-walled the palisades so i think this will be fast futile for leary unless he wants to change his game plan at some point and on the other side mr yo has four on wood sending the villager out there it looks like a dress to me yeah all right so theories larry knows what celts are capable of uh this is a better fight for leary i think but the villager could come over yeah leary runs away uh 29 hp versus 30 hp oh never mind it's gonna be a close one but yeah the drush is going to be coming so leery probably needs to get out of there elephant micro at home and so what are we playing here problem 19 scouts trying to clear up the drush and then transition probably mr yo he is the guy that then can decide do i want to go for fuel aids do i want to make something funky happen incarcerate and also if you're late is it double archie range are we going for a lot of infantry is he adding minute arms that's simply the beauty of celts so sdl weakens the elephant with his town center there um what do you think about leary playing this into pop 21 archers it is leery after all but then again he's frank's too crazy i think if i have to name someone who would go for it then it is leery most likely yeah i think he seeing as he's getting loom and about up and going to lumber camps it's probably not that no barracks yet won't be going to gold so yeah going for scouts knowing the pressure's gonna come in and yo has yet to even find where leary is but he's on the way yeah militia is walking into a good direction though scout knows about the gold sees the woodland there and can you find a villager at the front i think it's a bit too risky with the town center there yeah all right so leary prepared this time the other woodline is going to be nasty to wall in but it looks like he's in the process of doing it uh i think what's really important to look at now is the uptime and this is so good like if you're new to this game or even even if you're somewhat experienced what leary is doing here is he's making it look so easy so much walling yeah will yo go up the feudal fast or will it be slow behind this really important and i like that he finally finished those palisades or at least got them to higher hp most of the time i i really think it invites your opponent to just test you and allow yourself to make some mistakes if you just one hit those palisades yeah i guess the downside is you spend a little bit more in the way of resources because you want to delete later but who cares right just be safe get to feudal nine minute feudal age for leary who is looking perfect right now uh stables up more scouts will come out mr yo doing his best to wall up while he has the time here quite some sheep left as well look at that so four sheep under his tc maybe even five did he steal two no he didn't no i don't think he stole i think he pushed and then also said yeah he's on berries i love frank's because when you go for these fast builds sometimes food is hard to come by and having the forge bonus really takes you over the edge you never have any eco issues plus the farm bonus so smooth yeah yeah frank's really i honestly think franks might be a bad beginner civ because they play so smoothly that you might get misled on how to actually design yeah and how to design your play yeah i can see that i guess it depends if you're someone who only wants to play a few games a day and you never want to you never want to improve then maybe go frank's oh man this is messy uh leary loses his scout underneath the town center and also has lost half the hp on his scout back at his base so great micro from yo oh yeah well one sloppy move there and that's not really what you want to happen for yourself three on gold for mr yo by the way so that looks like double archer range and archers to me ah all right so there's the range for leary so he's aware of that he's gonna prep skirms i'm wondering if yo with three full full hp militia goes into man at arms wouldn't be too crazy it'd do more damage against the palisade walls but oh never mind i don't know about that still getting it but ran into the tc himself and then i'll cancel it that's funny what is mr you're doing where his archer ranges he has so much floating resources now is housed here as well watch now i guess it's not it's a good way to salvage the situation when you get housed yes and this amount of resources not getting either eco upgrade now adding some farms oh this is confusing oh but he's in and and leary has to delete a lumber camp and the villagers are blocked one villager goes down and yo instantly after that clicks demanded arms upgrade oh oh my god leery's in big trouble here oh god this should never ever happen and she usually dies behind this one as well the one at the top gets away oh horrible scenario for him oh that's tilting now what is really good for leery despite that being awful is that joe doesn't have any huge backup plan as far as military is concerned almost feels like he's going to add a stable because he doesn't have a range like what is his plan in the mid game leary has scouts leary will have archers so many floating resources for you i'm still still no eco upgrades either nearly i'm really confused i think he wants to play like three archers blacksmith defense and then do the upgrades on the way to castle oh boy just so weird but he's back at the line oh cleary oh no oh leery rebuilding the lumber camp after just the leading one and now we'll take more losses here that's awful the one hp scout actually does some nice blocking finally leery clears it up but there's three villagers behind i still like his military though eight military versus one mr yo again not having double bit x not having horse collar maybe too focused on the micro and at least he realizes i'm gonna be uh behind in numbers i don't know and he will add the tower it almost feels like he's intentionally skipping eco upgrades to have to have the uh faster castle upgrade weird yeah but if you do that with only like four farms and 400 foods i'm not sure if that really helps you so much the tradition will be tricky and yeah you see is okay i will i will need to do it by force and we'll drop a market all right so similar to the previous game where yo goes for the infantry and then goes for some market play but i think if leery runs by here leery's more than fine and there's plenty of time for him to do damage but he chooses not to run past maybe too risky there he will take the spearman though he won't believe that mr yo is playing with zero military moment i i can't believe it i don't understand why it's so greedy maybe because of the uh great success in the previous game he wants to get the castle asap here he's in and now again right leary if he had a single villager forward the tower next to the gold would make it so tough for mr yo yeah another tower behind the wood line and then mr yo constantly needs to buy some stone i i agree with you but with frank scouts look the spears go down villagers are going to go down and there's no eco upgrades for yo this is great for leary can he hit the wood line maybe can he can he group up these scouts with his archers though [Music] he's trying to break through we'd love to see one archer behind the wood line already and scouts on the inside just means mr joe can't really reball yeah he's got a wall behind them and making another tower this is very similar to the previous game for yo very greedy uh very greedy indeed but way more aggression in his face this time last time he had a better job of walling his map was a bit better yeah still not up although his resources are so close for so long okay so he wants the same thing then right he wants to go knights i don't know about if the forward's reasonable but at least like fast scale barting nights might be in his near future there's a hole by the way he tried to send spears back into his base it's next to the mill he's got to deal with that one oh god that could be ugly it could be really ugly i think he's forgotten about that nearly villagers are still low on the berries oh he sees it he sees it shouldn't be in time oh that's bad oh that's so bad for you unless he can somehow oh okay he sacrifices the spearmint and actually gets what three kills though oh my word oh leary he wanted to be the cheeky boy and said like i would take the better engagement with the archers but that turned out exactly against him oh boy now yo's on the way up now do you think these units will break through the palisades nearly in the meantime it feels like they will but now there's the stable oh boy deja vu leary knows what might be coming here will he look for forward villagers if they even come oh snipes villager oh the stable might never go up actually what do we have we're 43 there i think he should keep some archers close closer the problem is if you sit next to the stable and try to kill the palace that you're actually fighting uphill but he lets the stable go up yeah i think he really wants to break in and do damage so i can get the logic there but if you take as yo micros back the weak bills oh my god 98 there he goes oh lost one okay but um if you take the palisade down and then you sit next to the stable it's going to be tough for you economically to be able to afford everything he wants to do just now building the blacksmith so compared to the previous game he was taking way more damage yeah yeah well his map was worse right and we said this should be the one screen wall and if you zoom out a bit this whole base fits in one screen now yeah it's true well i think after everything that happened here leary's in the better position i don't know if you agree but he's got better eco at home those farms will last a long time he is walled and secure he's got archers and it's leery after all so you know he'll be able to use those if he keeps them alive also he can build town centers if he wants to boom because he didn't have to invest into the tower yeah i don't mind to spot either economies should be relatively even but eco upgrades just so much better for liberty has wheelbarrow and double bit x something that mr yo is still lacking yeah this is where this is where it gets really interesting with celts because talk so frequently about how they can still win with less eco if they get to that comp of night siege monk uh we see yo opening up with a monastery instead of the siege workshop i actually like that because if he goes for the alternative he probably has siege out when they're still um or when the knights arrive so he'll go for the monks instead but it's not like leary's not going to be active with these scouts nearly and he will see this [Music] villager can she wall herself looks like taking a hit and still having 40 hp that's a strong woman sometimes on de you actually hear the the noise as well and for whatever reason damage doesn't come in trouble stable by larry after scouting the monastery is he mixing in scouts after that no it's one night in production for three stables uh maybe a bit of ptsd maybe he's worried like he didn't make enough last game so he wants to make more of this game but that siege workshop's been denied so far oh yeah that's good it's so good for larry and crossbows around he can push the spec big difference now now he can afford bodkin as well there's so many small things going better for larry compared to the game number three as well yeah he'll have the production he's gonna have the map control he should have the better economy yo has to run back into his base yeah yo falling back here this is where your win percentage goes from something like i don't know 25 30 to 10 to 5 because you want this slow snowball push to be forward and not defensive you know tries to make something happen oh my god come on what dodgers and i believe the magano goes down in this game ends i think so as well so many villagers falling there knight is getting the last oh my god yo it's repairing it leery's microwave and the game will continue with that we still have ourselves a game here it might not go on much longer but yo keeps himself alive against all odds holy moly like i'm dead i'm absolutely dead if this happens to me they have no idea how mr yo saved that mangano i mean he used half of his farming eco to repair it but it was seen calculated holy cow well four crossbows will get great value behind the wood line leary will still know even purely based on score but also what he's seen in the game i'm gonna be ahead with the second tc which he adds i love the tc because it's in front of the wood line which we said would be an issue and also he can mine stone if he's ever worried and make those cheap castles with franks yeah and you mentioned earlier how good those x-men could be monks shouldn't really get any conversions in crossbows might even get some snipes here which account surprisingly even yeah and it's also like the downside of that tc is that's an easy target for yo siege though celts are ever going to eat tc it's going to be that tc and leery's already on stone so he's thinking about the future [Music] three for now nights obviously not the greatest upgrades there let's take a look scorpions focus down first one conversion two one two i think right started with three i don't know something like that but still it's leery pressuring leery with full hp knights leery still with the crossbus just doesn't seem like yo can can truly push back here oh no and now the monks are getting killed mangano gets another ground attack in there but not good enough and well nights without bloodlines aren't really great if you fight against franks so yo survived a bit longer but now is this the end the guy's got 700 wood some of which he just sold for gold getting massacred on the front despite the kd being very close it's about to get a whole lot worse and yeah gg okay so impressive from yo to hold on there but uh leary i think he learned a little bit after losing game three and he responds to that type of a push look if look in front of mr yolt's mill there will be soon five either villagers so he didn't press either villager for quite some time his economy obviously not that sharp micro intense fight there with mangano monk and all the knights and that's one of the things that's completely understated how good leery is not only at microwave but also measuring behind all the micro gardeners yeah okay so was that not the greediest play you've ever seen from mr yo like the guy kills so many villagers villagers he probably shouldn't have killed in the first place i'll give him that but he kills villagers because leery has a couple missteps with the quick walls and then instead of saying oh i'm ahead let's make sure i don't lose control and let's get eco upgrades and make military he just skipped all eco upgrades and went for that greedy fc not my favorite play no and maybe overconfidence there or maybe just not confident enough to face against leary when leary has scouts and skirms or scouts and archers but uh either way no question what a series and i think we all thought it going into today this was gonna go the distance it's been so close yeah it has truly been great and well maybe mr yo still thought about like how easily game three felt and just wanted to repeat on game four okay so the series is really close but again i maintain the games have not been at all like one person stomps the other person stomps the other person stumps like have we had a game that's truly been back and forth not really it's a really short day honestly like yeah this is like if you think about two best of sevens you feel like oh god could go up like eight hours or something like how how long are we in we're not even four hours in i know and we're we've had the first quarter final complete or sorry semi-final complete and now we're going into game five between yo and leary so competitive score wise but uh it's been back and forth so i think the choice of strategy for the winning player has been dominant and has not been matched by the losing players so far um maybe now we speculate a little bit more on sieves nearly i hope they didn't start yet because i'm restarting on my end but i can pretend to not know them well no just tell me what they are i want to know okay well then i can look i was outside of the game okay it will be vikings against mayans so both going for the strongest civilization that still they still have left okay yeah and i'm in now and we'll switch up the colors of vikings mayans oh man what what's the key difference between these tips if there is a big one [Music] one has knights one has eagles one has a stronger economy the other one can switch a bit more right the eagle archers just feels very natural but most of the time i think mass crossbows feels very likely and then it is vikings better economy millions yeah both have great eco bonuses too i feel like what kills vikings because we actually saw this match up a bit you want to compare it to uh hidden cup we saw mayans being picked a lot in game one on arabia and i think it was doubt and tattoo who were picking vikings to counter it and also to counter aztecs i believe it's the eagle switch that can be really tough for vikings to deal with yes they have the options yes they have champions yes they have berserks but they don't really have the mobility if mayans turn this into eagles later on remember though hidden couple arabia way more close to it yeah it is way too easier to wall and yeah then going for long longswords in a one-dimensional fight is yeah just an easy defense compared to this arabia because you can't really chase them down whereas here like you're probably going to see a stable at some point from vikings if mines make skirmishers and i think back in the hidden cup days i don't think that would have been the case i think they would have just stayed on their own ranged units no all right hidden cap was a lot of rush fc on arabia as well yeah that was it was a different time like i hope i hope that two years from now we say to each other do you remember what the game was like for the first year of the e do you remember how many walls there were do you remember how slow the game was like i really hope that that's it this is a trend that continues with more open maps and meta developing for more aggression and brigade shouting at us talk about age of empires four and yeah do you remember vubley yeah hey people have been asking us to talk about age of empires four since it was announced three years ago so that's happened a lot okay so yo ran forward nice and early it's all the magic carpet knows that uh leery's tc is there and is taking a peek around to see what leary's up to do you think it would make sense to put the carpets further away so that you run into tc's less often i i actually i even think the carpet should be in front of or visible before the straggler trees because in most maps you're going to see the straggler trees and then you know to dodge i think the carpets are a lot easier to pick out so to answer your question yeah i would say so but it's not that big a deal rush again by larry not really my favorite building placement there not really using woodland at the front at all and well russian to flush most likely by our main player mr yo did mill up but now he has enough wood i think he would go for a drush as well well he was he was forward really early and he didn't scout the barracks i think he scouted the gold though you might have noticed that the 10 gold was taken um but yeah the militia are on the way and yo is going to have to do what leery tried to do in the previous game and just palisade in his villagers and you know what i think this might be men at arms for mr yo oh not unlikely right you use your feudal bonus more even your infantry extra hp and also like players are good enough they don't need to scout the barracks simply scouting that there's no mill gives you the confirmation of the drastic yep that as well yeah um did see the berries of course and yo sees the first militia runs away and it's going to push in this ostrich and livery's got to be careful just passing sky's just threw the ostrich at the scout there can you imagine like that militia says to the others guys you'll never believe what happened today i'll tell you after the fight yeah just just power walks through there like it's all about burning those calories man uh yeah this will be feudal age for yo who's getting loom now and overall really well done from him even able to save so many goats oh hold on i spoke too soon okay i spoke too soon say goodbye to those goats but can make militia pushed in the ostrich and we'll go man at arms and he had a full village idol time here oh really ten fife is the time he's aiming for leery says those are my goats this is so annoying yeah leery oh man like there's nothing you can really do now if you're in your position because you don't want to engage with your militia until they're upgraded or at least have the extra hp which will start in futile you're right nilly look at leary's uptime 10 43 they'll have two more bills of course started with one more as mayans but it's essentially a vill lead or leary well the lead that he's responsible for and believes that his civilization is responsible yeah yeah yeah gold is really far forward though so we'll see if he gets those walls up and he did not track the fact that joe is heading to him so if he doesn't see you at his base he'll probably wall up i would love to see good woodland of mr yo there quite a lot of villagers there six on wood did he think about sending villagers forward mr yell yeah there was just three villagers like they they went to the barracks and then went back again oh and leery with the quick walls yeah maybe he he thought twice about it he sees the gold that's not the first time you'll see a forward goal today house mr yo what 25 oh that's so bad so he's going to be behind by well he's going to be behind by three bills essentially but two were because of mistakes pretty ugly and larry so far really smooth is swallowing his shut it barry's here and yep does a good job allows a bit of an overberry but not going to happen before now two wood lines yeah the one at the top looks really ugly though look at how he walked there oh geez yeah elevation makes it difficult remember he is vikings so having wheelbarrow is a huge upgrade here so yes mr yost made mistakes that he shouldn't have made but viking eco can sometimes bail you out and usually does but again i'm just impressed with leary's walling i said it last time though and somehow he lost three bills and had to delete lumber camp so hopefully he doesn't do that this time uh mr yo didn't want to go forward he's just going for the zebra at home there and adam's trying to find anything but larry should be bulletproof if it wasn't oh yeah no he is yep that's so good yeah i i just i hate doing this as a player like placing all these little palisades just so much clicking just like make it stop that's actually like doubts thought process as well right before he bothers to ball everything he just takes five worlds and fights against the militia and is happy if he only loses one sadly then in 2004 people realized that they can actually go back and forth with militia and since then people didn't just yeah people realize that they can take more than one fight now okay well nilly with the doubt insights and leary did not get the upgrade for men at arms and i think uh what this does now is leary gets fletching it does make it a little bit dicey for him because yes the the quick walls will keep the man at arms out but if there's two archers behind leery's got to make some decisions on if he runs or stays i think he'll be okay though with him out of range units he has nearly he's got fletching already yoda's not yeah you cannot attack here even that's a spot where you want to keep your minute arms alive most of the time trading them off and trying to kill an archer is good but with the chance of your opponent going for ego then actually you see eagles being added they also are adding some nice damage it reminds me of the conversation we had in game one now that game was quite short and we never saw the potential for a heavy eagle switch for yo when he was incas but yeah like keeping the man at arms alive against mezzo is so important sick we will see a full best of seven series with mr yo without him ever building an eagle that's true because he doesn't have aztecs yeah all right quick walls from yo that was so important oh but there's a hole oh god wait well other side is something is happening as well so both are in both will do damage yo tried to wall and leery blocked it and now leery's going to lose it oh this is so awkward you can tell you is focused at home he hasn't moved his army to the wood line yet oh this is this is crazy little bay straight here but larry isn't really moving with his villager either now some skirmishes for the defense three hp on that one should die oh who loses more uh i think yo loses more yo doesn't he's fighting uphill with villagers he'll lose one leery's already lost one and now the man at arms go down which means leery can clean this up oh this is ugly and joe is taking the fight we're helping a bit walking a bit faster but but you know what in the end it was pretty close but yo did have to invest more into that because he added mana arms at home and he also had to pull villagers right still got all of them working idle at the gold yep yep ugly economy again avoidable mistake in this game for mr yo like holes happen but you've also got a walling is a skill and that's got to be something you check this is a semi-final which many people are are deeming as a final because it's so high level so would you say whoever wins this regardless of who it is is favored in the final nilly yeah yeah i see whoever goes through 60 40 favorites against mbl okay yeah i i feel the same but i feel like leary is slightly more of a favorite against mbl than yo would be we'll see what happens yeah well obviously the good thing is simply the mindset right leary had the better of mbl for years now and really punished mbl and the last time joe and mbl faced it was basically in even series that nbl won in the end yeah it was a 3-2 exactly yeah i think like that's been one of the more interesting match-ups over the years for me is watching those two face off but let's not get ahead of ourselves even though i just i'm the one who started it well the final will be mbl against one of these two and we uh the maximum of two and a half games away to find out who will face them tomorrow best of 11 finals for an additional 8 000 marbles yeah crazy 4 000 i think if you lose in the semis and then you get 17. yeah okay it would hold from yo it really felt like leery was gonna push up that hill there in the end the two additional mended arms were not a waste of resources for him when he uh when he panic made them earlier maybe it was calculated who knows but uh mr yo is walled however there is a problem i have with the walls it still means his woodlines and some of his gold is all rangeable it doesn't protect from that something is happening at barracks and he's going for a special upgrade supplies nearly i feel like recently that's been like in the past do you remember the gold rush game we cast in 2015 you're like yeah take cast the final fight t90 nowadays 2020. what does neely do the upgrade supplies but is this not blind like is he expecting there to be eagles wow well he he doesn't see crazy archer numbers right if mayon's game plan is to go for crossbow you see more archers mix in but the army that she sees at the front one archer six skirms hey also so personally i don't like this supplies is an upgrade that i think you have to create 10 inventory units for it to make sense so it can be reasonable but it's only food wise right then you still have to pay gold yeah and the gold as well but what i don't like is leery still has ranged units so leary will see this and larry will say oh wait he's making man at arms well that's cool i'll just make another range and continue to make archers so it does put yo on the back foot if you ask me and you already see this right now at leery very well aware of what's happening he takes out two men at arms right now and i think he'll like his spot and larry is adding some more archers some more eagles as well and and arranged yeah it's just so much easier to dictate fights then yep maybe this comes back to the lack of momentum for yo ever since that one whole uh he hasn't done much except play defensive now that's a good engagement because long sword comes in and long swords will clear up those eagles and and maybe now you will realize all right i'm exposed to some type of a crossbow switch and he'll go for his own units or maybe a siege workshop oh siege workshop in the center now finished and it's quite surprising that larry only scouts it now or did have some small vision earlier but honestly that will be tricky eagles will be so good at sniping the seats i i was expecting the siege workshop at home i wouldn't have liked that either but okay another game another forward siege workshop from mr yo so long swords and magnels this is new huh well makes sense against mans right and also makes sense against that very open gold there it's a good spot to attack yeah and i think if you're leery you use a similar approach to what you went for in the previous games make a lot of military against it don't sit back don't try and boom wow suddenly i'm starting to believe in this bush a bit nilly oh yeah so am i eagles well we have eager warrior upgrades but crossbow number's really low first shot into the villagers one dead attack ground could work there leary running around and shut it oh man this is all going to depend on micro would you still say it's a better position for leary despite that massive hill well mr yo is taking the best fighting position but i still think like eagle's crossbow just so good yeah yeah see it right there theory says thank you very much you're making another barracks so you've really believed in all lanes mary has the villager on the siege workshop miss click there oh geez so the siege is not on the way he might think it is theory there it is that could be frustrating that could even be denied scorpio now edit that means not another mango no crossbow doing some stuff oh god there's so much clicking i know it's amazing oh and leery gets rocked he wants crossbows and eagles oh oh tricky move long swords now out there villager moves away 80 percent on that siege workshop eagles around villager dies and the eagles dive in for the magnel which they will get and still quite a few eagles remaining and the scorpion also goes down so now leary backs away the crossbows are suddenly good again hi words nilly this is unbelievable and and yo is actually adding tc's behind i see is he yeah one okay okay want to see that's quite interesting it felt like he would just go massive all in here let's take a look finds another villager kill those manuals got like four or five villagers all right huge ground attack and leery is going to be behind an eco at this rate two more villagers go down all the eagles are sacrificed for this kill if joe has another magnel here he's still in a good position a good sniper eagle even taking the hill advantage to get the scorpion kill there but now mangano will be manganal lily is looking pretty good here it's just so much better with the crossbows to keep on pressuring against what i feel like the awkward thing at the moment for leary is he's already died to an all-in so he like or i shouldn't say he died to an all-in he died too at the time what he thought wasn't all-in yo is making a switch to go for an eco approach and i don't know if leary's ever going to do that himself or if the timing is going to be similar it's hard to judge when to add tc's because if you add tc's too early in the defender's position you get punished for it such a good game here tickets running around trying to find a hole but no over chop base bulletproof no and uh speaking of raids and infantry as the magnolias go one for one yo has split up the long swords larry has the quick wall but loose is a villager in the process uh joe's long swords are split up but he has another magnel coming out of the workshop hold your breath oh one for one nope for zero it's the same you do the math that's exactly it's uneven [Laughter] that's a lot of crossbows and it i feel like leery like who cares if yo has 10 20 more villagers leery with this many crossbows could do anything yeah unless you get like three manganals out and there you can't micro that anymore oh megan will really expose though oh leery with the micro both players going to lose magnels i believe uh university also denied at forward villagers for these buildings siege workshop made sense but i'm not so sure about the university and now leery might be pushed off of gold where's the third gold at the top there crossbows some of them being sent back and some of them are under microsoft oh man yeah and and i guess it's good for leary that he's killing some long swords but the long sword's got better value in the north than you would expect and another big shot for yo oh that's so ugly and zero gold income at the moment for leary is losing all this cross was at the top as well good micro at both sides and he's gonna add a castle here yo is already going to three tc's and this could be a doubt castle for the second time in the semi-finals today at 28 hp get sit down that was so important yeah very important but is he in this game if that castle goes up nearly it's 63 villagers against 47. we're casting this we've barely even looked at yo zico how is he able to manage it and all the micro on the front oh gosh tc number three dropped now and still all the map control in the world long swords going i think yo probably this is the moment where you stop going long swords you did a lot of aggression maybe switching into like 10 15 skirmishes and thinking about him this way to play now yeah i but it's also yo he adds a second siege workshop and just attacks it from another it's like so many players would just go to range production from home here nilly but yo is like nah why do that he researched arson by the way so he could melt this blacksmith he might break through oh you see behind that one plumed archer production only started now we have three on the field two military on the field against 23 51 villager against how many okay let's jump to 70. sorry i tried to set it up nice very close to nice man longswords in the semi-finals what is this this is ridiculous he does have a tc to flee to in the back he does have some plumes out and he is one of the biggest micro nerds in the game but how much micro is he gonna have to do with so many long swords out this is insane did he get the university right now uh he does not have ballistics so i'm not even checking for the building i'm only looking at the fights look at the repairs from you such a good job there and yeah those will just have some long arms for sure getting the repairs in more long swords dying a bit of an over aggression plumes obviously a great unit to defend you about population it doesn't look fair yeah it doesn't look fair at all they're they're playing in different worlds right now feels like one's in the dark age and once in the castle with the eco difference 78 57 maybe a bit of an exaggeration on my part but that's okay yo could you could toss away these long swords right now and still be in a fine position in this game as long as he's thinking towards him yeah and you see like no long-term production goes for full villagers and now goes for stone mining he wants to get an aggressive castle up and probably trap the castle later on again that's a very yo thing to do many people would just play defensive at home with that castle go up to him but yo it's like nope i've got to make sure i go in for the kill like how many magnel volleys has leery dodged here as we're talking about this but if you watch that song does he not have a seat he still hasn't added a new siege workshop after losing the other one well yeah magnus could be nice for him while the manual is a bit overextending oh there is the splits again this is why like whatever the siege workshop didn't work for me before why would it work for me now and oh big shot luckily it was relatively split there eagles trying to find another kill and leary is holding this is not dying to this attack guys but don't get too high hopes for larry the economy for mr yo simply out of control 32 on food for 16. and uh that's now it could get better and yo is about to imp it had consistent magnel production and presence on this hill there hasn't been a moment where i've even felt like he was going to lose control here despite leary's amazing micro and that's like kotd arabia like so often have we seen that players are building their bases and falling slightly behind the [Music] hills or your opponent getting control of the hills and then it's so tough and you're extremely pressured in the back now we see the forward villagers from the ceo yeah wow if you if you didn't watch fight perverse yo quarterfinal and you showed up today and you heard about that result before seeing these games you might be thinking wow maybe viper had an off day and it wasn't necessarily yo on shape yo in shape but after this you're just like you know what it makes sense they're both playing so sharp both leery and yo as that forward castle will go up larry finally gets a counter in and so impressed by yoa's performance in this game actually i even felt like viper didn't play that bad against you i agree i i did say something ballsy i said that with his performance he actually could have won kotd too but chet completely went bananas and said like how could i ever say something yeah yeah yeah of course but what i wanted to say is i think viper actually didn't have the worst day ever yeah no i agree i think it was it was near best form from viper and we have yo house swallowing now to keep the plumes out this is desperation time for leery and look at this look at these walls from mr young another one oh my god that's so good so good look at all the boobs dying oh my god that's disgusting from yo almost on cue as well as we're complimenting him he traps that army and now it does have some skirmishers coming out doesn't have too many yet my god they will do their job literally now up to pure h as well but will be uh solid over two minute timing mangano or tristan important that you don't select those plumes oh yeah i don't want my game to oh but the house goes down okay now you are allowed to select them again uh i don't want to okay leery sees it he's got to choose either tc fire or magnel and tc fires the way to go you know what nilly theory's got two castles at home so he can make he could maybe hold on and then take out the forward castle from yo with trebs he's killing villagers here he has time and yo has really struggled to switch out of the long swords that it should still be he should lose go ahead say what you're going to say i heavily disagree tristan i think the moment joe reaches in larry will resign god damn it i hate it when like you never want to say this is gg you got to look for positive signs and then that happens leary sees yoz and infant he just calls it thanks for that one bud but what a performance from yo that was so good easily the best game of the day in my opinion in terms of skill level ah game one i mean pretty clear example of how good he can be it was it was tricky right it was double barracks at home like if larry scouts the seats workshop in the center mr yo was sitting with longswords at home and no plan to follow it up i i didn't think that that was going to go anywhere i thought leary was going to have eagle crossbow i thought he would have full map control but that's the second game where the middle siege workshop has been the death of leery he really seems to struggle against those pushes and yo obviously excels in that as well uh give him plenty of credit all right um yo was one win away from going to the king of the desert three finals um leary could easily respond and you almost expect it because of how back and forth this series has been uh we are down to the nitty-gritty as far as sieves go on the draft i have to reopen my game neely what are your expectations or guesses for the civilizations just want to say something for like i'm not sure if you caught that but mr yo actually does not have indians he has humans there in the draft oh did it last is it bugged out as indians there it's actually working for me now it did run out oh what do you mean the draft is it shows cumin so maybe refresh it they might have fixed it ah okay okay interesting um so as far as i'm aware as we go to game six i'm just toggling off some sieves before i show the viewers um yeah i think this is accurate i think we have slavs cumin saracens for yo and then burmese ethiopians khmer for leary if i'm not mistaken mm-hmm that's what i see as well so khmer and then the two weakest civilizations for larry left i honestly don't see him playing burmese no the question is like khmer ethiopians which one first you say khmer first right oops sorry guys this is the story of my life um i'm sorry say that again i think he will not pick burmese i think he's going for ethiopians and khmer the question is like what is he picking first ah and you probably prefer khmer first right yeah i think he goes khmer and yo expecting that goes slavs but well it's not like picking ethiopians against slavs is all that good either so yeah i think it's going to be comer slavs if i had to guess yeah it is interesting right mr yo is a guy that thinks about the game a lot and cannot come can come up with crazy strategies is he going for saracens does he have a plan like leery does he still have the game five against stout in the back of his minds if he faces saracens yeah leary lost to doubt now what's what's so interesting we have to look back at this and consistently think about both these players in their groups leary was expected to win in his group and then doubt won the group because of that come back against him and because of that leary ended up here against mr yo on this side of the bracket anyways but you could also say that because mbl beat yo in this group uh yo ended up here as well so they actually should have faced each other yeah but at the other side of the breakup that's true yeah they both should have won and faced each other on the other side of the bracket that's one way you could look at it yeah it should have been hera viper here and mr yo leary at the other side yeah that's that's probably what the uh the logic was yeah like should have been oh boy era's probably like dude leery why why do you have to lose to doubt like that we have to knock each other out in the quarter finals come on it's your fault not mine i actually if i'm hera i'm actually mad at leary you're mad at leary yeah like why did you lose the doubt and then eliminate me well doubt's better than hera confirmed right that's how that's why he beat villas it's all over the place isn't it it is it just so wait so leary in the group stage anyways leary lost to doubt and then leary beat hera but then the lesbian doubt so velez better than leery hera and doubt confirmed but weaker than mbl but weaker than mbl which means mvl is better than the mall okay i'm liking this timeline yeah and then we'll show if we need to play tomorrow yeah that's true why do we even need a grand final no i think they've launched the next game we'll have our answers on the sieves slavs vs burmese we will see burmese in king of the desert let's go oh yeah did we not have them well we did before sorry but i should have clarified and said the semi-final because i wasn't expecting leery to go this route but it's also a sift that i feel like has a lot of potential for this map uh i think yeah if you get to a rambai mangano then it is a beautiful civilization right you can go for the one-dimensional pushes and basically always win the game the question is how easy will it be for you to get there so therefore we have to take a close look at the storm positions of larry okay stone position here could easily be walled in the other stone is a dream but even having one decent stone is good on king of the desert three arabia speaking of uh dreams we have the opposite a nightmare at yoah's base all three goals on one spot this could be up against the very potent attack of the burmese man at arms nearly i actually one of my favorite things and this is gonna sound weird at the start one of my favorite things when casting with you or dave is when i disagree i think that burmese are top tier with matted arms the free wood upgrade and then you can turn that into like you're always going to be able to afford horse collar for your farms and if you get a little bit of damage in you have strong eco and you can go into nights if you end up going into pikeman switch with the knights you're ahead if you end up needing monks you're going to be good there too i don't think you need aaron bye to be good here with burmese and you have great crossbows okay and that's the reason right that's the reason so nilly switches that right over to the weakness of vermees and the weakness of hermes is the fact that it's a bit one-sided and it's more suited towards uh the melee units but then again flaps they don't typically go for archers so it might have been well thought out from leery yeah but if slapsticks goes pikemen then you basically where pikeman be pikeman yeah you have one more attack but or two more attack yeah but the economy of slav will just overrun you yeah that's true i think it's i would say to compare the sieves um the power spikes in early ages are better for burmese because of the extra attack and the free eco upgrades like the lumber camp upgrade specifically and then the mid game which overall is more time is probably better for the slavs surely like slav one of the considered to be one of the best economy bonuses in the game and they also struggle with their range units but well the eco is just so good that you still feel like they should be in a best of seven for sure yep yo please don't oh my god he shot it i knew it yeah i knew it was gonna happen it was gonna happen one of these days all day today he's been doing fine he hasn't been shooting the rhino making mistakes with his tc but if it happens once and you're up 3-2 in a semi-final with thousands of dollars in prestige on the line you could throw a game it tilts me nilly it tilts me shame over his family [Laughter] nilly just takes it a completely different level oh now look at that he needs to go for the zebra and the ostrich in the back completely out of position as well and honestly like that that was such an untypical lure by him as well yeah what did he do i think he had seven villagers in the tc therefore couldn't shoot a second time and then yeah the second and third volley outside of the gc so it's simply miscounted or miscollected yeah the villager yeah so i'm gonna explain it because there's always one or two people out there who don't understand why that happens a lot of players do it nowadays um but what you can do is you if you shoot the town god if you shoot your rhino or bore with the town center with the final hit it will die and you cannot take resources from it if the final hit is with a villager you can take resources from it so he was trying to do six in the tc two volleys from the tc and then get the final hits on the bills yeah nearly i think you're right because he only did one volley because he had one extra villager in there and two would have been the same result but my goodness tattoo did it who else made the mistake weren't we casting together and someone else did it yeah yeah yeah i has to go the very long way and now the ugly thing was like yeah you can mill the deer but you already pushed one deer and you don't really want to mill two of them yeah well i'll tell you what that villager has a death wish and leery it's sloppy from him he normally would wall there all right but not granted off of gold which means he can't get demanded arms upgrade though so leary looking to take advantage of the power spike of getting to feudal age cannot afford men at arms because he's off of gold now that's huge let's take a look well militia they're still way stronger yeah once they reach you later that could be annoying there's one villager trapped oh no you could have gone for that one that was so good for me oh wow yo with the quick reactions and leary is probably still going to get the upgrade we spoke of he's back on his gold now he'll get the walls up yo look to do more damage elsewhere but the walls were already there overall if yo is walled into his wood lines he's he's all right but i hate how he's on one lumber camp and he's got six on stragglers i hate how he's got three on gold but there's no mining camp there yet this is just not what joe would have wanted and it all stems from the dark age i think like six villagers on the deer there isn't it a spot where you just take those six and build a lumber camp to drop off the fight yep i was gonna say the same thing i was really surprised he didn't do that and he was also right next to a woodline but maybe he did make a lot of farms nearly so maybe he didn't have the wood or maybe over over made farms i've tried to look for that but okay let's take a look minute arms now and they are annoying against buildings for sure i'm not even sure if against three arms scout oh paul and o'leary was waiting for it lyrie was waiting for that villager to get too hungry and eat the bush she dead well played dead indeed one villager idle there now works gets the defensive arch range out and at the other side loses a skirt all right skirm goes down bit bit all over the place very messy uh with both players having military at the opposition's side i like leary's position more with villagers also the fact that he does have the uh upgrade and leery oh being patient here getting the scout in front of the ville because for whatever reason the ville was over there and gets another ville snipe and you know what i hate most about it that after the game burmese will win and you will tell me i told you so oh no i'm going to tell you now i'm going to tell you this is a good matchup for bernie's now i'm not going to say it after the game i'm just going to get ahead of it i mean there was a small mishap in the dark age for mr yo just a small mishap uh what is lurie doing at his gold what he just opened that to let the scouting militia in what is this hitting the players maybe they're bugging out here oh seven i don't think so you don't think it's fatigue yeah it's just too too short of a series right yeah yeah there were so many like super short games included as well i get tired after i play four game four one v ones in a row yep so so much pressure coming from leery and a good tower from yo messi all around but better position for leary and leary um makes a loss but is okay at home now there is a weak villager on the gold but he's positioned him to the far side so you can't get the snipe right billy is there a is there a switch here for leery or does he just stay on ranged units until castle and oh we've got to pause uh tactical pause to exactly find that out well larry he continues with skirms is happy to force the tower gotcha he isn't really walling his map and if he wants to wall his map it has to be a big wall to include the stone yeah okay so there's there's some there's one stage of the game i want to talk about if we get there apparently mem's stream crashed so we got to wait till he's back fair enough fair enough i'll wait till he's back um it's it's mid castle age and early cast late so again i think burmese if they get a lead in early feudal which has happened here that can snowball to an early lead in castle free lumber camp upgrades lots of infantry lots of nights or options but then if burmese don't do enough damage there nearly and maybe i'm getting a bit ahead of myself that slabs mid-castellate with the farms can be deadly yeah the thing is though you need to go for a lot of seeds right and seeds recedes i think burmese can defend there although obviously slavs can be a bit better yeah i think the one of the birth worst things for slavs is that they don't have the greatest counter against the rembrandt which most of the time is crossbow or skirmishers that can now transition into racer units later on i would say maybe it's a case of not leary you know if it was another player i think they might be opting for walls now like if this was mbl you'd have at least a wall villager in the south walling to the edge while villager in the north walling to the edge you might consider taking stone might consider going for a castle in the future but i think when leary gets ahead he's like i'm just gonna streamline this towards castle and go with non-unique units in fact it's very rare to see him go for unique units yeah he loves those crossbows loves those knights and that's why i'm so surprised by this pick by him as well it is probably only for the metadata aggression and the transition yeah like it is not the worst thing right here is a guy that i've seen go for chemistry brazer ballistic all before he goes for the defense upgrade for his crossbow so technically he can go for a lot of crossbows and then burmese aren't bad yeah so let's talk about euro's current position down two villagers and according to the overlay seven on food uh double check with a yeah eight farms okay so eight farmers off of berries so yes he's slav farms but he's completely off of berries you look at leary's economy here he's got eight farms he's almost finished with his berries and he has villagers on ostrich so overall he's got almost double the amount on food and he has the aggression so leary's position i know the score leads not huge but it's looking really good yeah and also one lumber camp right he has 14 villagers and one lumber cam pretty soon exactly 200 wood only there and well he i think needs to find a way to somehow get back to his berries but that's easier said than done also like it's still so little control at the top and oh something i at least didn't see looking at the top of myself space he didn't find two of his sheep so it's minus one elephant and minus two sheep yeah at this point you're not even factoring that in right you're just you know you're just gonna hope for the best how do you think uh a little bit of a stoppage here uh affects the players when things were so messy you think it's good for them or maybe it affects the rhythm a bit um since there's no like immediate immediate fights happening i think it is okay right yeah it can be tough for you especially like if you see okay there were so much went wrong for me and i have an uphill battle yeah in front of me then it is ugly the thing is larry actually doesn't know how far ahead he is right he didn't know i know so you had a lot of idle time and dark age he doesn't know that it's minus two sheep minus one boar so he thinks okay this is still an even game because out of his point of view not a lot of stuff happens yeah it's a i think it was memb interviewing tattoo after tattoo beat vivi in a best of five uh tattoo had shot his rhino with his tc and in like game two or three or something and then in game five vivi did the same and tattoo just couldn't help but laugh because he had no clue so yeah you never really have that insight um so guys basically just to explain uh mem's the host of this tournament he's put in a lot of work for it i was casting this as well and i guess he i assume like maybe internet power something along those lines so uh for now the stoppages for that because these games are live and i can't really give you any more info beyond that right now as neely and i we are really tearing this game apart right here you are going to get more analysis at 14 minutes than you would ever get for me memstream is still offline okay so yeah it might take some time right then i think you will try to set some stuff up so if you ever want to squeeze in a pee break i think it might be a good time here for me or for the viewers for the viewers okay i was gonna say that's risky i don't know about that one oh yeah we uh we don't have that luxury man yeah i i'm really curious as well like leary's the type to to control the game with his military he doesn't wall as early because of that and if he takes a misstep if he takes a bad fight if he loses control in any way yo would have time to pressure him in multiple areas you've got like the gold is on the back but there's still a lot that's open you could have the berries hit if that's still there you could have the woodline hit i could see yo doing dances around him yeah but he's so far behind the military and it's one archer range with one arch range so he can't really get ahead there it just will be a dance mainly around the berries and i i rather see larry getting the aggression against the woodline than mr yo really getting any counter texture yeah we can really nitpick we can talk about joe's woodline and how we would have liked the second lumber camp that's done and dusted at this point uh he might get the second one up but the yeah do you want to know what what's the win rate of burmese in this tournament so far well the minis were picked in nine percent of the series okay but but were never played before so they were never played at all and this is across the whole tournament at 74 series they were included nine percent so i assumed exactly seven times they were included in drafts but they actually never were played okay someone just asked me can you guys talk about which phase of the game burmese are stronger um the face with the rambi i mean i could maybe i just didn't do a good job talking about that but i feel like we've covered that more in this game than we ever have so maybe rewind a little bit um thanks for your patience everyone i can tell people are excited to watch the game and so are we trust me these uh you know tech issues happen um and it's so frustrating as a streamer um thank you and i have both experienced that ourselves nearly so yeah yeah like technical issues i remember my times when i had a wrong codec in my obs and every time a lot of units died my stream dropped and i was casting king of the hippo basically a tournament where lots of armies are smashing against each other and every time it got super close my stream dropped and i didn't figure it out for several months yeah and actually memph helped me out there and that that is so depressing i used to have comcast internet so that's all i have to say if you if you know comcast i i it was very common for panic basket to be used in my stream chat uh for the first year and a half maybe two two years that i streamed it was just a common thing to see drops and it was actually a similar thing the more units on the map so basically the more exciting the game things would drop so um we'll see how everything goes here ah technical issues yeah it is something that is absolutely important especially tricky for man because he never has issues right if i think about him he's probably the most stable one out of all of the biggest streets he's got yeah he's got uh fiber it took a long time for me to be able to find it tough to find i think maybe it's power thing i don't know i actually i don't know if if you're paying attention to the discord but cassini might need to make a decision here [Music] i think he he will be so connected that i would actually assume we will wait the full time to members back into the game and loaded everything okay well i would be very surprised if he allows the game to continue no no i agree but all we've heard from carzini is small pause due to technical issues they'll let you know when we continue if the issue persists i'll let you know when i know more so yeah they're probably playing it by the second at this point ah memph went a bit wild on his obs apparently and it was bugging out but that would be surprising to me because then he could just restart it with less plugins right obs crashed yeah that's what someone is saying but i don't think that's the case yeah i also had someone say that viper hacked his computer so that's more likely [Laughter] yeah so you were searching for a new king who is the new king now i don't you won't show it where you get it if we could trust people sorry guys he didn't want anyone to be the new king yeah it's like no one will get to see it sorry no you know what this could be because the quarterfinal the first quarter final was so fast uh whatever to just get to prime time yeah yeah exactly this isn't even prime time viewership so everyone who's here we appreciate your patience but really we're just making you wait so more people can arrive to watch the series today yeah maybe mem got front page uh in 25 minutes 25 minutes yeah i don't know but yeah we we hope things get a bit better so but nearly we have to get creative now we've talked about slaps ooh um do we have tri-ram or like ornlu or uh anyone with really specific game knowledge out there we could do like a quiz okay what kind of quest should i ask you age of empire's questions or what yeah you know what you can quiz me let's go i'm ready okay i can quiz you okay i'm so stressed okay any any question or any age of empires related question yep okay judgment what is the prize pool for ninth till 16th place for hidden cup three oh um this would be embarrassing if i don't know this how dare you ask this i want to say that it was sixteen hundred dollars it was either sixteen hundred or eight hundred one or the other okay you're really good it was one thousand two hundred fifty six so in between uh yeah that wasn't i wouldn't say that's good okay all right so in between in the middle okay [Music] the funny thing is i sent the prize for the players too so i should know that but okay what's the cost of a berserker oh god i don't why did whose idea was it to play this game um 65 food 20 20 or 25 gold i'm gonna pick 25 gold correct tristan can we move on to the thousand dollar question please okay a thousand dollars i've got all my life lines i'm also not going to look at chat because chat's guessing now so okay um how many resources does a victoria produce wait so you mean like per second per second so i have to add them all up okay i think it's okay i have to talk out loud because that's how my brain works surprise surprise i think it's 16 food per second i think it's 16 foot per second no that's not right 1.6 what am i talking about so i think it's 1.6.0 point um hey just pick a general number i think it's like around like 3.5 right 3.5 yeah that's really good i think it's 3.6 okay yeah because you have i think it's the only reason i know this is because the last time i saw vittorio's used in a game i i showed a screenshot of the change and i think it's 1.6 no no yeah 1.6 with food and then 0.08 and then stone and gold's a bit lower apparently members back so we'll be back what is exactly one gold is 0.7 stone is 0.3 okay i also may have been helped i think you asked that question to doubt and viper when you did a little video on that okay i didn't know you watched but i know but i believe i was really surprised didn't viper say hundreds or something viper was way off the viper stopped at 40 and i think doubt wanted to go into the 500s or something yeah i just recall thinking wow these guys are not the smartest do you want to be part of the quiz i would love that you know you uh who do you want to face i i would lose so bad i don't know find someone dump well we're gonna do do you remember when i did jeopardy in the past yeah so i had downloaded the jeopardy program and was gonna start those videos again and then you did the quiz videos so we can have like competing competing uh or not or friendly competition game shows and i will join yours that's fine okay but i think naturally it makes sense to do dave so i have have dave who has a very i'd say he has a more overall age of empire's knowledge but a large percentage of that is information no one would know okay i can squeeze in some hidden cup questions i know you would really be educated on those oh okay all right all right fair enough sounds good but yeah it's a nice idea there's so much with age like it's uh you know spirit of the law does a great job with all the little details within age of empires and i don't think there's ever going to be uh we're never going to run out of questions and ideas within age which is what makes this game timeless yeah yeah that's lovely so people are saying memphis back we don't have an official info yet so probably is trying to set everything up and i think you will need to stay calm for another at least three four minutes yeah nilly was spirit of the law the question is like who is making the questions and honestly i think people are overestimating how good spirit of the law would perform in those questions because there are a lot of like esport-focused ones in h empire's history i also think he's a research oriented guy so i don't know if he's he's would necessarily know it off the top of his head but he puts a lot of time and effort into into the production behind it so but yeah esports wise i think the questions wouldn't make sense to include him but i i know he'd probably be down yeah yeah probably probably yeah now people are like oh isn't he a good player and i think he's a really good player don't get me wrong it's just like there are very few people in the world that are craving age of empires esports as much as i do yeah that's that's definitely fair i can't stop thinking about it personally there's a few people in twitch dad right now who might rival you they're just like what this go anywhere he missed two tournaments in 2005. [Laughter] no i mean no i caught it i caught up with them all right nilly well we're getting close then so leary let's just rewind talk about the position the players are in for those who might have been more focused on the q a than anything uh leary's in the lead here he's down a game he needs to win this game otherwise he's out of the tournament he is in the lead economically he's got more going for him he's killed more he's denying more and knowing leary he'll probably keep that momentum going so it will be tough for yo but he has those slav farms to rebound with question is though are we going for mass skirmishes like you need to build something that is not super reliant on gold to really use those farms right skirms are good knights are good against mangonel and rambai that wouldn't be the craziest thing the the big question is like how is lily trying to design his map and the right-hand side villager is she just chasing the village the scout there or is he being set up to create the big wall to secure the stone maybe maybe both um i i think so leary has two decisions here because yo as you said is probably going to go heavy skirm so leary's going to realize that all right i'm not going to be able to to make any archers and do any real economic damage um you can add a stable almost immediately after this this uh game resumes and make a few scouts to counter those skirms or you could wall save the food and go castle and play defensive with a few of your own skirms so leery tends to i don't see a lot of fuel age stables from him he tends to just want to get to the next stage but in my eyes those would be the options for him also i'm a little bit hopefully the when the players unpause it works um maybe i shouldn't uh maybe it's a bad omen for me to bring it up but sometimes with de when there's a long pause it doesn't resume uh that happened in the early patches right i i don't remember that for quite some time okay but we we didn't really have that so apparently the update is memph is now streaming with his cell phone internet because there's server maintenance in his internet and he is apparently in the game fast forwarding now so i assume we might start within the next two three minutes jeez this would be a great time for him to be like this stream is advertised by boom plug for whatever company that is if it's working it's working glad to hear he's back it's just like accm being sponsored by aoe2builds.com and then playing the worst fast class of bulldog ever well isn't huang also sponsored by i think also i didn't i didn't find his strategies and build orders on that website that's so funny all right so we're close here and uh we're back hog champs in chat let's go ladies and gents i hope you took your restroom break because leary's in the lead if he wins this we go on to game seven but he's gotta close it out he immediately shifts away from the berries and heads towards that woodline yeah he had a lot of time to think about that one mr yo forgot about the scout and lost that we see now some more houses trying to defend their scum defense defense upgrade could be lovely for myself as well all right so the man at arms they do get extra attack but they'll do so little here now that joe has enough archers in the mix and good defense from mr yo so far remember he is behind though and it is leery dictating the pace of the game i think larry dove in a bit too far there it was just nine against five military all of a sudden mr yo looks a bit hotter there yeah the defense loses quite a bit yeah exactly leery maybe long break really was excited to fight went in too deep will we see a stable at home or is it going to be walls or apparently neither just going to add his own skirms this is such a leery thing to do to just play completely open at home yeah but for now you don't need the walls right you know exactly where your opponent's army is i just feel like if the roles were reversed joe's thinking ah let's wall up if just in case leery's thinking nope i'm gonna take the fights i still have the lead we're fine things he doesn't have the greatest walls at the bottom anyways right yeah but most players just take one villager and try to create something thinking about the very long game literally well we already seen it today he sometimes tries to finish the games before we go into the long game i this is my favorite thing about leery nowadays it's just how quick he goes in for the kill in the past it was kind of a negative part of his play but he sorted out some of the mid game issues he would have and we have a stable for yo all right that's a panicky stable too he's building that with four villagers and you think you really want to pump out those scouts well he has 80 foot in the bank so it's not going to be too crazy exactly and i think leary he's having his own stable and if he wants to go for scouts nearly could make more with more upgrades man that micro from leery like that that archer is still alive there yeah and you know that archer actually clicked the villager then mr yoke microed the villager back the archer followed into the stable and therefore it was scouted so that wasn't actually intentional by larry all right so lyric sees it that was what oh and you know why you wall at home so that three archers can't sneak in okay this is the frustrating thing about leary there's a reason people wall will leary react to this and will you be able to get good value here is that him reacting or that are those his villagers bugging out because of it religious reacting oh my god you're kidding me larry ah okay i should have knocked earlier all right well he loses one ville in his office woodline the scout and the skirmisher should be enough and another goes down and now we have another pause there's also some weak villagers on the golds so that was kind of what we had said nilly like leary is ahead a lot of players do a bit more to stay ahead with some walls and we'll wait to hear word on this one and neither player dropped him because we just had micro fights at the front so most of the time the game is still continuing while one player seems like he's not doing anything so that's not the issue and we're back all right and will you get another vl pick it's going to be dangerously close goes not even microing it but neither is leary and the villager villager what dead i think mr leary dropped no what is he no he is dropped but he didn't do anything there no it looks like a drop and yo is kind of back in this game now 40 villagers versus 39 he's got flat farmers suddenly i'm thinking oh no nilly's gonna say slabs are better than burmese now no it's just been a great game and a good performance from yo to stay in this i just remember one of the most disrespectful things ever hera is playing on his stream and he's raiding his opponent and kills like 20 villagers pauses the game and he's like dude did you drop the opponent's like no i'm here what he said that oh he said that you think it you never say it it's the most disrespectful oh my oh boy i i just got like secondhand anxiety from hearing about that and is yo really going for greedy approach again here he's not producing more scouts he knows that leary has scouts he stopped producing it looks like he wants to go up to the next stage with the market 500 food 400 or 500 gold in the bank you can easily buy himself up larry he isn't taking foot of the gas though goes for bloodlines by him and his walls exclude the stone his walls exclude the stones no air and buy in the future but yo has castle age in his near future so leary went from falling behind to then adding the stable and then putting his foot way well i was gonna say way too heavy on the gas but no never mind he's still clicked up and he's got the scouts with forging sick well done oh and now he goes on to stone after those walls i'm so confused what is this base so weird um but i don't like this is where i feel like yes slav farms are better and obviously yo has a little bit more momentum here but i feel like you just play this into nights and monks like you do any other sieve or at least if you're gonna go to stone freaking wall it up oh he's camping with the skirms knows that his opponent only has gums at home as well so he knows he can't be counter-attacked now maybe he's just building a tc there but still okay oh at the top walls could have been easier well maybe they took one of the strategic pauses and let nbl take over yeah it looks like mbl in a rated game it definitely does uh yo trying to free up this wood line that woodline's a disaster that's a new lumber camp he just built and he's going to make another one now in the south uh but yeah leary i can't say he did all that much with the scouts he just sniped a villager there but he's on one stable so this means that joe's gonna have quite a bit of momentum well we'll see about that for now he's sitting at home and can you maybe just well get the sledgehammer and really hammer your castle through there i think he's already buying yeah yeah he's getting the castle up there yeah i think you buy it and build it immediately if you're leery and maybe add a night or two in the meantime he places it there i like the castle spot i just don't like how he's open i feel like joe's just gonna run right by and snipe villagers in there before the castle's complete [Music] we'll see what with what well if he's coming with the knights right like if there's no walls i think larry could easily quick wall it there's already a scout in there and the scalp is going to snipe a ville or should and mr yo chooses to continue to move along what's that one in and okay okay that could have been better i feel like if that's another player maybe a few more villagers die there not your strong suit those little snipes okay so both playing now with the monastery obviously will have the bonus and see every one of them can't be too unhappy to see all five of them still in reachable range castle now up and i would be surprised if the knights find too many kills yeah yeah i mean it's looking better now i really felt like yo was going to get there a bit faster i think i just misjudged it as we have leery going for one two three tc's making aaron bye back to our point from earlier one over shop okay no he goes for another he goes for the parasite yeah it goes for the palisade but yeah burmese they normally don't have a lot of ranged units yo does have some skirms though what was it kotd2 game number nine leery against viper viper getting the perfect map and getting to a rambai winning the tournament for himself yep maybe liberty wanted some redemption in that form yeah i mean it was a different time too but uh my goodness yeah he's a he's sitting back here i like how he has his own skirmishers though because he can use his skirms to cancel out the uh skirms from yo while also using the aaron bye for the knights this is this is burmese in this is burmese exactly where they need to be uh eco and aaron by nelly yeah ideally some form of seats included as well right sure because if you get to mangonalt the enemy scrubs aren't doing anything well the knights got in somehow and the villager goes down theory is on three tc's but he's taken some losses but that said joe's only on one adding his second there were so many holes in this walls and like the scout got in he plucked the hole yep now the knights get in he's plugging a hole there's over chopping at one end and well there's still the huge hole at the front feels like a swiss jeez oh man five aaron by make that six aaron bye feel like the most important thing for leary is keeping his hair by numbers up eventually he'll have the eco to maybe can add in some knights for those skirms that yo has but for now he's mainly on air and by which means he's defensive and there's another hole it is swiss cheese so mr weird house at the moment is doing a good job of collecting relics already has two for himself but well only now 30 c while lily is booming happily for quite some time but how did that oh wow we clicked the phone how was that that's unfortunate he clicks the farm there and awkward fight not sure about this one really it feels better for yo scums are pretty low could maybe jump on those but skirmishers for leary they don't send chance against those knights and they don't and yo at this point he's got slabs with 20 on food deliri 14 on food he does have quite a few farmers idol but yo just not hesitating to run in he really wants to get to these finals but honestly the rambai can now just micro back and forth will borrow on the later side but look at mr joe's upgrade neither wheelbarrow nor the second farm upgrade mangano popping any second i don't think you really want to fight with a rambo at the moment at this point i think the skirms go down as you said nearly the knights will unfortunately run away and mr yo's got to decide on what he does mr yo just did a lot with his gold did he buy rez he had 600 i think he might have bought some res he's making more skirms at home not unlikely and honestly if he wants to stay on skirms and he's doing universities so he most likely wants to go for more i think he sort of retreated there like seven sperms all of them super low hp it was guaranteed that they get picked off yeah and knights now looking a lot less uh a lot less strong especially if you do this mr yo but what was the composition that viper used against leery in the game you mentioned in king of the desert one manganolo ramboy yeah and lyric played mass crossbow man and to finish the game he put 50 crossbowmen on stand ground and let viper shoot them yeah he's like i'm dead and it was probably one of the biggest shots in age of empire's tournament history but leary was like you could tell he's just like have them you've earned it wow let's take a look why he's trying to stop them from growing down to six skirmishes only again that's it's not a bad situation for leary and it might be a rare moment where leary considers a forward castle would he do that no he is already building one very defensively there with only three villagers so no rush apparently oh big mac and l shot nearly and the other skirmishers are all weak i can't really engage their guards our defense now by mr yo something we don't see too often from him either builds another defense oh oh like leery everything's going fine for you this is how you throw games when you have a lead it's so frustrating as the knights and the the uh scouts run in but it's still only plus one defense nights right so eventually they might die but yeah we are finding more kills here forcing a lot of idle time it just it's frustrating because that's all avoidable you know yo probably feels like you can't do anything with these nights anyways and he's had an opportunity now but still leary's position on the front is amazing and his eco is looking pretty good once he sorts out these idols the seven villages ahead was more ahead earlier though so the rates clearly did some damage yeah i just saw two go down at the tail end of this attack uh we didn't see the forward castle yard tower defense for yo dave always says that these uh these slav guard towers look like salt shakers salt shakers i think that's i think that's the quote it's his quote not mine oh dave okay aaron bai uh in a good position to take the fight against this but i don't think leery migrated that well there we go he's he's focused on it and yeah the skirms even going down here yeah but tall shaker is shaking quite a bit and well dealing some damage from distance and the remember i can't sit there yeah i think leary who's on 39 on food he's not producing units that cost food he's got to think about amp and nearly is it is it worth it to get elite arum by right away in early amp or should you be thinking about contributing with something else i'm a big fan of using mass farms and going hustles in this spot yeah i think this is the more natural counter to your opponent constrain him and then later go into a rambai i think the step from normally rembi to leader rambai isn't that big right it's 17 to 19 damage yeah i'm thinking the same i think it's too expensive and it takes too much time whereas if you go and we see scale barting now if you go for stables the air buys still a stick unit still doing a lot of damage and then you can counter the unit that's currently out there to counter your air and buy and also split up like aaron by need to be in one ball light calf can be everywhere yeah yeah that's a true also thinking maybe burmese could go champion as well i think he has enough map control to maybe go for it but hasa just guarantees you to control the game yeah now you also want to make sure you have aaron buy a round because if you lose all your aaron buy then help counter is huge for you and for whatever reason leery oh wow thinking about taking the fight and he's touching ballistics oh good job there now jumps under it two scums down we'll find more kills and well honestly with those two towers it wasn't that cost efficient how many did he lose like four remember yeah four five killed eight or nine it's not a gold unit i was surprised that leery stayed in there yo building a castle on the front he's finally on his way to amp i think yo needs tons of walls i think he needs tons of more villagers there the castle isn't looking too hot doubt castle castle at 83 percent oh that's huge leery's going to be an imp faster leery's denying the castle he has all the momentum in the world he has the additional relic nearly he sees some extra golds oh and how did he let that one happen monsieur if you build that castle why were you out on the map with those skirmishes you need to protect that area this is so good i i don't see a chance how he's getting control there i think he's now a leap frogging forward with godzilla to somehow get some villagers forward i think if he if he wins this game it's because the power of slavs and also maybe because leery allows him to get back into it by not taking map control not tech switching yeah leery should should not allow this castle to go up for quite some time he's already doing a reasonable amount of damage to hp wise as well yeah yeah he grouped a bit taser is coming in played barting armor is coming in as well now sends more villagers and yeah another tower the castle will go up okay we're assault shakers play barting almost complete now the tower will get tonight everything gets night here hussar is able to kill everything mr yo has no question that hussar is the move here nearly because without that i think the skirmishers could have at least held on enough to get that castle up hazards just feels so good because the natural counter against the remba is the ranged unit and most of the time if you play burmese you have lots of villagers on wood lots of villagers on gold but larry actually clicked up to input 42 farmers which is really impressive that he has such a good eco behind this yo just trap the hustlers so that's something oh no he didn't oh there they go it's the chinese cheese trap yeah here he's coming back he's like surprised buddy surprise i'm not gone i've only just arrived and he's actually going to make it back there that's huge and villagers to the front again scarce moving forward and randby moving in as well though it's so funny and he gets reward for it nearly the raids begin and the arumbay oh there's so many of them dead on the front what happened he's killing quite a lot of inventory more villagers going down as well and literally not producing villages for quite some time but still good produces a lot of fuss yeah still good the hustlers uh forced 20 30 villagers to go idle this castle might be destroyed it's at 86 percent now and only 1200 hp so even if it's completed it's on fire but nearly do you sense it do you sense that we might be heading to a game seven it very much feels like it for me it feels like it yeah and this is the longest game in multiple ways right first of all we had the long pause but both players actually in imperial age something we didn't have in the series right and we have six games in it's like the series is getting closer uh as it goes on and this yo delete that i think you deleted that for just a little bit of stone reward i guess no choice if you don't feel like you're gonna build it delete it it was only going trash right now so uh skirmishers and halbert ears which realistically can do pretty well against what leary's going for can't do all that well if leary makes a switch into champions yeah champions just completely roughly stomp this no way around that one tries to build another castle there did you buy that one i i wasn't paying attention but he was sitting at 269 stone i think he bought 400 stones to build that cost and it might be denied as he's getting raided by leery who researched the unique tech for burmese to do more damage against buildings with the arumbay got into the houses there quite quickly he's finding more villager kills 26 idol more villagers dying at the front this time the castle will go up though yeah castle goes up and leary is already making a trebuchet from his castle on the other side of that and still has the army back here he's diving in deep with these air by it's an expensive unit but he doesn't care i don't like the too much but like i like the dive he obviously missed michael a bit now against all the dc's i think he has them on aggressive stance i would probably prefer on stand ground yeah well i think what leary realizes at the moment is the longer he stays in the back of yo's base the less that yo is going to have forward to defend that castle oh man this is a costly loss oh yeah and the remba is just being clicked as well is it even worth it i think elite aaron buy is pretty expensive right i think something like 1.1 k and 700 or something in the ballpark yeah that's i mean if he's able to push this castle in the front it's just a repeat of the previous situation so he's completely fine um but yeah elite aaron bye will complete after he's lost most of the air by in the back ouch okay now he has seven [Music] all right well he has them at least oh yeah and look at that textwoods is coming in long sword being attacked gave me armor as well and the castle at the front is getting trapped and mr yost basically an army was building an army to hold yeah that's never too late yeah and that's that's pretty like slavs normally push with that holding army it sounds weird but you see a lot of like trash and seeds from them yeah but where's the seats oh where's the seat exactly where's the position to push with the siege he doesn't even you can't take his four tile gold in the south he's really been struggling for resources and i think while leary hasn't been the most convincing with the timing on the tech switch and the use of the aaron bye he still is way ahead here and has the position to switch and win this game yeah twins watman's now coming in and another upgrade supplies i wouldn't even say it in that situation but when i'm with you i have to i think so as well and so supplies uh burmese already had a fantastic uh infantry line and then supplies was introduced them and many other civilizations makes it even stronger and uh well astar is back in another army that that joe's gonna have to deal with another reason he can't push okay quest time how many civilizations did get supplies when it was introduced when it was introduced i think when it was introduced it was like all sieves but three or four right like goths didn't get it i don't think huns ever got it or was it all but 34. so we're pretty close yeah okay i think it's thirty-four yeah i'm lost again yeah yeah i i would like to see uh some civilizations that are already really strong get it removed so they don't have that text which is easy but the burmese should have it and burmese are going to stomp with it nice raids from leary everywhere it's it's sad for the hussars but it's worth it for leery to toss away hustler bodies for phil kills in this situation just look at those two and insult me now 12 plus seven like what what more do you want against trash units and this won't be a fair fight is he waiting for champions now he's waiting for play more takes the fight a bit too early i didn't like the timing on the fight but again i think leary has leary is in a position where he can still justify doing this and only two-handed swordsmen are destroying and we are going to a game seven wow crazy crazy stuff and that's what the experts predicted a super close series either player could take it and we are going to distance not the greatest timing there in the end fight but larry was so so far ahead now the big question was it burmese or was it larry um both both i i just based on the civilizations that he had remaining really i feel like burmese like when you're expecting slavs it's a good counselor to get slabs out of the picture and then what's he have comer for game seven that's a dream scenario for any player no no oh man i'll restart my game okay leary had more of every resource except stone he he destroyed he was way ahead there i'll restart my game and we can only speculate this has been so cool yeah it's now basically a best of one for five thousand dollars plus your share of another eight thousand dollars so let's let's just say you're even against mbl this is the best of one for nine thousand dollars okay so what you're saying is that leary can be like hey mom like if his mom's ever like hey stop playing video games he's like mom 9 000. come on i'm doing it did you i actually probably never told that story and i see i'm obviously designing those tournaments to have larry around yeah yeah in his school free time yeah you design it around leery's school exactly yeah yeah so basically when he has holidays right and nac two he called me a week before it starts oh god and ask me like um nearly um isn't it starting tomorrow and i'm like no it's starting in a week and he's like i'm having holidays now then i said like okay what can we do and he actually went to his principal and asked him to get his week off school so yeah you got to be off school yeah and the principal said yeah okay okay so we had a week of holiday and then had nsc week another week after that yeah i i tried the same growing up except i wasn't a pro player and they didn't believe me so they're like wait hey have you show us your farms yeah show us tristan show hamburg on the map and you're like uh this 15 year old me tried that it didn't work okay so we've got cumins and saracens for yo i would say two yolo sieves in different directions saracens normally yolo aggression humans kind of yolo boom um and then leary has two choices both of which he'd like like i think most players would pick kermer here but it's leery and he's so good with archersif so ethiopians might suit him uh i'm already in the game all right i'm going to be right behind you nearly what do we have i like that he didn't go for humans and tried to play a standard game he apparently didn't have his strategy prepared so mr yo is going for saracens leery he loves ethiopians i think it could have been a viable option but it's khmer just so strong mobility here so that was his pick and he obviously picked it so early honestly they're right next to each other they're so close yo is saracens he needs the gold and he needs to use the market and all of his golds are forward this is not so good for him and larry has a really good map back berries double back woodline defensive gold as well you can create a very small base for himself yeah this is a colossal task for mr yo oh my god just right off the bat man at a disadvantage maybe with the sieves overall and then to have these maps pills everywhere berries forward and then you have back berries as you said for leary and all three of his golds on the back huge so how do you approach this if you're yo the main gold isn't that bad right it is reasonably close to your woodline or not short and i know that you hold your breath it's still vulnerable right i think you can build the barracks next to the gold archery ranges and it is not the prettiest map secondary third gold isn't great but it's still yeah you're right you only need how frequently does the game go on long enough where saracens take their second absurd golds that's something to bring up like that at the high level saracens are normally waiting before they make that switch or at least they're way ahead at that point and also with saracens before you go for a secondary goat to actually go into stone because it has a better trading rate so look at the main goat look at the stone stone not that pretty and full walls for yo is this going to be that's castle for him he has three villagers walling in dark age here wow he's pushing in all of his hunts as well wow this is easily punished by a tower by leary but as we saw on saw several times he's not the guy to go for the teller he actually went forward he saw the berries and he said okay that's enough that's all i need to see because i'm going to drush that and he's making a barracks with khmer he did this before and i was so shocked because there's almost no other pros who would add a barracks with khmer everyone wants to go fast fetal scouts leery's like give me the militia yeah he's also known to just go archers and then try to play pop 20 there huh just playing some mind games but mr yo might be just playing against those will be fully walled and if larry tries to play dress into flush yep then a sneaky fast castle is tough and like saracens can play everything they can play double archery range they can go for the sneaky stable behind walls they're so deadly yeah let's talk positives here off the back of this this build for leary so if he were to be aiming for scouts he'd already be on his way well soon be on his way to feudal right so at that point he'd see the walls he'd say oh shoot well i don't know what i do i guess i'll try and tower and oftentimes it doesn't work like yo is expecting that but if you go with rush and you you arrive as he's about to and you see the walls you can choose to go fast castle as well which i think would put leary in a more reasonable position uh though it doesn't stop saracens from doing what they want to do which i think is the biggest problem i think leery plays it differently though if he wants to play scouts he pushes the deer then goes forward and scouts he scouted first saw the distance pushed here and then went into the rush how surprised do you think he is to see the walls do you think that this is a shock to him or do you think he was almost expecting it and he can't get in at eight minutes yeah he's re-reading the nick if it isn't mbl [Laughter] i love hell i love how mbl's in the finals waiting and we're still we we talk about it how like is this is this negative thing like obviously it's worked very well for him oh god trust it like i know that you are a cheese expert is he something like in austrian cheese because look at the walls of larry again between the house and the palisades oh wow i that's that's an obvious hole but that's something you you won't look at again i think you're confusing it i'm an expert on cheese strategies wait okay question for you who made my liqu liquipedia uh profile was that you ah no no no i thought it was you uh was it robot what's on there like no there's different people editing like everyone can the only thing it says under my name on liquipedia aoe2 is he is known for uh for making force nothing popular last i checked the only thing it says okay if you want to i will edit is is famously known for being scared of ducks that that's that's good as well okay i will add that like i was i was a little bit offended like come on you can't think of anything else but no i mean maybe that's been changed i i was under the impression it was uh you who made my profile so no worries i did edit something during a class with dave i did edit trivia yeah okay well leary uh knocking on the door and he is trying to match the fc but what's the big difference between these fast castle builds well it will be saracen and he can go for the market and can then decide what he wants to go for lyria i don't really expect him to go for crossbow maybe i honestly if you're a khmer don't you want to play like pop 30 and just instantly click up um probably yeah yeah you probably do do you see what yo is making right now it's stable it's working before yeah it's worked twice right so actually the one game it worked was knights the other one was long swords and siege and it's also what larry died to against you against yeah now some villagers dropping off if if like larry was super aware he now knows about the up timing of mr yo because why are suddenly four villagers dropping off berry food yeah yeah also this the um it's almost expected that saracens are going to be so much faster than you after you said they sell the stone this is such a unique strat and here comes yo leary's not even looking for it nearly i'm i'm so so scared for that hole honestly like that whole alone could be the game deciding and leary he's building an archie range in the blacksmith instead of clicking up he's looking as well look he's looking to see is he going to sneak and the villagers are already out this is perfect for yo if he wants to get the forward buildings wow unfortunate and unlucky at the same time yeah like why is he not he's not thinking about his bonus there he goes up i mean he's gonna have an archer a bit faster but yeah but there he goes yo is just gonna put it right in his face there's no reason not to unless an archer arrives but even one archer wouldn't be enough to stop it are you surprised at how bold joe was being oh he didn't know much about this oh and he sees the hole this is the hole let's think i think it's just going in another direction nearly i'm losing my mind it's game seven why so close this is not huang by the way this is yo oh we we didn't talk about the pretty solid castle edge timings here i think yo scouted the goal like yo wants to get the siege workshop up on the golds which is funny enough because we were talking about the golds being bad for yo can two villagers complete a siege workshop over here no i think he needs to run far yeah maybe a bit further build it you could wait for the night though you wait for the night and then the night clears out the archers and then you can do it ah he didn't have a blacksmith he couldn't build a siege workshop oh that makes sense okay so there's the blacksmith oh that could be massive because leary knows leary knows it's over here and the militia are on the prowl okay now we can the blacksmith's completed but can he get the buildings down oh leary micros away with this scout well played oh what an interesting game here nearly so i guess miners right yeah so much that's happened how much do you need probably two nights to kill this army from leery before it's upgraded yo you need to get that siege workshop down sooner rather than later and he's actually running back to make a monastery i don't like this for mr yo all of a sudden well maybe he still knows about the hole but at the top winning night at the bottom winning that's actually yeah that's that's good timing on the flight before the upgrade scale barting paying off wow it's going to be brutal is yo just gonna go home now and play standard why like it's a reasonable fight he doesn't have the siege workshop yet which is so peculiar to me it's full crossbow from leary if he had scorpions with knights it'd be sick yeah well that was a big mistake with the seats workshop by the way leery walled the bottom there so that was good for him okay leary's expecting the siege right like is he not expecting it all in now after seeing the bills he should he should if it doesn't come i mean it might come in a different way but if there's no all in here he might be really confused i think he should be more active with scouting here he lost that scout yo he's gonna heal the knights but yeah yo no siege workshop just wants to go in tonight getting bloodlines husbandry i mean with those upgrades and these numbers would be great against the crossbows and look yeah leery's really paranoid right now yes he should be i would be confused i would like i would never add a tc i'd probably have the stable going up maybe even a second stable just invest into what you can because you're thinking saracens go all in you have to have military to prep for it but he just doesn't know what to i think like in many ways this is better for leery as the game goes on if yo isn't aggressive with this military though because yo doesn't have horse collar yo doesn't have boso i guess leary doesn't have it either workshop now being dropped at the left-hand side i think lyrics should have gone for the lineup side upgrade as well thomas is just so good in those spots does yo still think that there's a hole there maybe he thinks there's a hole and he's counting on leery not scouting and then just running in are they going to pass each other here they are going to pass each other here oh my god and there's a hole too oh my god game seven so bad for mr yo wait a second a big line of sight can you go for the first conversion he gets it that's good and also is tracking the army now but no plus two on the nights yet and the siege workshop is forward and leery's like hold on a second he's running over here he's got to have something so leery's now coming to look oh and larry's running back so many mind games he really wants to know what's up and now joe's running back because he thinks leery might go to his i guess he's healing up leery thinks he weathered the storm and is adding a tc while yo is still playing what full want to see i see i don't i don't mind the tc here because it's only dangerous if leery just cannot field enough knights to take out the siege and as it stands he only has one monk so if leary goes with crossbows in like two or three nights he still snipes the siege and can maybe hold with his mic but it's still going to be tough knights have very underwhelming upgrades though not very easy there mangler not even shooting i wonder if leery's going to remember that he can garrison inside houses if the time comes that's another stable i like that from larry if yo has monks it's a different story i think the villagers that are here are going to eventually build a monastery but all of this has been delayed by a couple minutes here we will have to build lots of houses he quote-unquote only queues up three here we'll lose another three houses at the front ballistics for leery leery micros away yeah you're right he's going to get housed but no he's making three more it's the team's all right for now and there's the forward monastery all right so leary maybe his time to think about engaging but there's still too much there and this might get worse for him and now he's going for a defensive workshop gilly the lead for leary two tc's pumping has the farms to do that but it doesn't necessarily have the food income to justify all the nights i'll have upgrades on the nights with the crossbows things are very very close scout's trying to make something happen behind there running around crossbow feeling the felt a bit knight's now coming from the front yep knights coming in with forging yo could get an attack round and also get conversions and leary runs away he might lose one he does lose one good defense from yo and that was one night converted three scouts lost and only one monk killed that's huge and three monks remaining and now leary is on four nights not enough he does have a magnet on the way but uh the all in it arrived a moment ago it's now starting to damage against that town center how's your micro leery because it's gonna be tested here oh god i i fear big mango shot coming in tristan hold my hand please i will try and extend my hand over the very large ocean between us and there leery gets one and i also noticed that yo is going to stone and another one from leery oh that's so good but you will dive oh i'm not sure about that upgrades are only one difference upgrade and he wants to retreat again oh that was costly but leary has the micro away and leery does micro away it's so crazy nilly it's so crazy what's happening but i think the maginot goes down because of the forging upgrade and leary is about to push right back he's got enough crossbows and chain barding was way too late for yo wow i think forging doesn't even make a difference against mangonels right they have zero armor but oh another conversion cross was still very much out at the front and gets it oh my god just dodged that was sick takes out another magnel and he's pushing out with confidence with absolute confidence and joe is taking some awful fights at the moment also the forward villagers are going down huge for leary considering he's been he's been on two tc's this whole time huge yeah two gtc's but some military losses we're actually looking at exactly even numbers here military numbers way higher for leary army value relatively even but the moment larry sends those two knights around so many exposed villagers that's true yeah i was wondering if yo who's on stone was selling the stone and buying rez he must be he's only got 11 on food so it's not like he's gonna add the second tc he does have plus two now and still with mangano shots and conversions this game could flip but yo needs to wall at home oh that's oh wow oh this is going to give leary some time it's going to distract yo it might make the fight better on the front for leary yo hasn't reacted yet some shots at the front no conversions it's going for some healing one manganal dead already and it should be another one if leery micros it properly takes the monks first runs away okay the knights will get dealt with 45 hill which is verse 46 leary must have idol tc problems yes tc's aren't creating bills he's got 300 food because he's killed villagers and it feels like he should be ahead with two tcs but we lost like five six villagers against those manganols so yeah good micro from both i also love how yo added repair bills that brought forward villagers but nice knife from there from leery uh who will also lose his own magnel good good job you see that power game is by how little oh yeah that was a sick dodge again like how little eco upgrades they have as well right yeah two equal upgrades in total in this game and you know i don't care who you are you've got to be feeling some nerves here in game number seven many people around the age of empire scene have been saying that well not just this feels like a final but yo against viper in the quarterfinals could have been a final leery against hera could have been a final and oh that's a good shot that is worth it if you ask me so many low hp now as well so the next manganal that shoots will get way more kills as well so that first mangano should probably even get an assist there if you ask me now do you think like just counter-attacking again for larry is a good option uh i think it's open well you you don't know exactly and then you might not have units here it's tough to justify but again it's another game where leary just he does not thrive being on the back foot against these all-ins and joe thrives being in this position as oh wow leery garrison's to save those crossbows that was cute is joe gonna drop a castle he's getting dangerously close to enough stone to get one where do you even build it i think it's too risky right 50 villagers most of the time you're just trying to sell it here's the thing that's more natural here's the counter nearly if you sees this he might consider diving will tell me this is walled up it's not walled up for yo a simple wall off one night not even changing his path mangano survives at the front oh my god counter-attack the wing that's a i mean that's going to be massive yo has two pants in everything there's a wood line that's messy as well and now if if the tc snipes the magnel it's a good start for leary leary finally has a ville lead which seems considerable and a nice momentum lead could be stemming from this but it just yo will not go away oh god and those camels finally coming in it's kind of a mistake you're sending more camels back will be cleared up eventually but the big momentum that we felt mr joe had the timing there to get the kill at the front didn't really happen it didn't happen but the tc is almost halfway down and leary's not making more magnels so you never know uh yo defends there and here come the villagers oh my god it does leary have a magnet on the way he does oh my word dude this this feels like a tournament final right here the winner's probably favored to win the final tomorrow and yo is going to try and finish off the game or at least get a huge lead with a big castle 70 mangonel here for larry he dives in with his crossbows takes the pickhead to start this one off yeah and he'll have another magnel coming out now this could be good because there might not be any magnets remaining for you and now yo's villagers are exposed there's no siege from yo big villager losses but i think the castle still goes up nearly i think the crossbows are not a high enough number to stop it here come the camels as well what a moment nearest nights were on stand ground or no attack since there some of them didn't find fighter was so weird villager count now solid suddenly in favor here for larry but that castle is going up directly in his face scores super even larry how how do does he move from here i think it's the counter attacks nearly he's got to find a balance between defending which he will need to do because believe me the pressure is going to continue or or sorry and or counter-attacking because each counter-attack he's gone for has worked yo not only is not too uh focused at home but he doesn't have the defense at home he doesn't have the walls at home and i think larry's thinking about it and yo on the flip side has to continue to ask questions of leery so leery keeps everything at home who killed the starting to see a really good scenario it's like i think that might be the first time that i see someone losing is starting to see and having the score lead yeah and here come the knights and the light cave and again yo now this time joe's making a bit of a switch he is adding a tc there's still areas to hit leery needs a new siege workshop too i think um that one yeah it's gonna be tough he arrives to the gold joe's making some defensive nights here there are no bloodlines both on those knights no defense after hcc will do pretty well against them woodline uh leery could see it technically i'm looking around i mean he's he's very focused right now he just micro down a magnel i think if i'm yo i consider making uh i just take out those ranges as fast as possible because leary with mass crossbow he's done so well and tends to do very well but yeah the knight raid for leary that should get addressed by all these camels especially since the camels have more upgrades yo uh he's got to deal with the crossbows though because here they come yo takes a massive hill fight there as well so that's really really good for mr yo has to be happy but yeah what will this crossbow be able to achieve like leery realizes if i stay at home i'm dead i need to counter there's only camels there so there he goes this is almost an invitation for yo to raid leary i'm really curious to see how quick leary reacts to or yo reacts to this leery snipes two monks there well played oh wow united could have been nice there for the first time ever giving you a gold pack if you lose some monks not really the best tech of the game but this right here is exactly what you would want from a deciding game having it be messy and close counter attacks different unit competitions different civilizations which is obviously going to happen anyways oh my goodness the crossbows from leary he knows there were villagers on the stone he finds the other villagers that could be five kills for him as joe comes back with the knights makes a lot of sense right he has bloodlines plus two defense some crossbows still hurt from the fight against the manual and not a single villager dies here yeah i'm surprised i think leery senses the knight because he doesn't see the knights at his own pace now but nearly oh he could find a beautiful spot in the back there i think larry can't be engaged there if he goes to the left yeah you're kidding now if there was a scorpion or a magnel behind it'd be beautiful but yeah yo can't engage in that little choke just age of empires things look at leary's economy behind this nearly remember all three of his goals are back here he's got plenty of farms he could maybe go for like long term something like uh knight ram push either at joe's base or maybe against that castle if he was out of position oh that's tricky though right villagers are around siege workshop behind this one ram push always needs a good good eco why the crossbow they're out of their hiding place oh and it's the perfect time yo was even waiting for it he's like is he going to poke his head out of there and that was great for leary denies the town center and also is heading over towards the gold so joe's got to get another conversion to save himself and mr yo dives in with the knights doesn't really want to go for it sends a manganal over gets another conversion in the center another conversion those knights should be dealt with the crossbow's still hiding yo still thinking i have to finish that tc and yo has had 11 farms no horse collar look at these wood lines leary's going to stay here the entire game this is ridiculous or maybe not right you're always waiting for him i don't know mangano is coming that could be really ugly but also a horse color now coming in mr yo finally arriving in the castle age we might look back at this crossbow army as the winning army for leary he's bought himself so much time and those knights that should be raiding leery's eco are not writing lyrics eco because of them yeah they might die so you're ready to remember them okay that was weird first to make sure to not select the crossbows we are keep an eye on the military count everyone because these crossbows are going down there's no question and after that you will have a big push back oh well dodged dodged and another dodge and more micro i mean the units will probably die but oh okay worth it as uh we have some knights now and i think that's going to be the play for leery he actually got iron casting and he's going pikeman and knight i like that yeah they're just so flexible so much that they can do do we say yo zico not that great it's going for three tc's now as well not really the typical thing for saracens to transition out of this now the nitrate even coming in here by larry at the top to see finished though yep tc's finished yo has a great arch received so we could switch into archers with his units i can't help but feel like leery might be caught out of position slightly as leery snipes the monk no can oh wow one conversion and also one kill but so good from yo and here come the knights but you see around there maybe if mr goes in a bit deeper more at the top there would be 30 40 item uh exposed villagers and you see the pikeman for leery coming home now so he definitely was not expecting this and all of a sudden the ville count is 88 to 76 and yo is not idled as much at home what a game what a series oh another eco upgrade there lyrics are so far behind in those and that was a beautiful minute for mr yo got so many villager kills yeah some losses of his knight but was absolutely worth it gets another big shot against the pikeman and i also heard ranges so yo is going to add ranges and if he wants to he wants to be a madman i don't know how much gold he has available he could consider going to imp i don't think it's the play here i think you stay in castle age and go crossbow knight but it's saracens oh just like 10 crossbow would do so well right knight's only one defense upgrade at the moment is going for fletching now and drops for archery ranges university still has occasional amount of tc's as well i think he should be fine against that now i think it's leary's turn to arrive at the proper time he's got good upgrades and there's not enough crossbows here yet so now yo builds a panic tc on the wood line and he's going to completely abandon part of his eco so this is just swinging back and forth leery still has to react look mr yost building one instantly getting eaten by the pike but no michael's back actually good or like micro luke that was that was bad i'm sorry but in all fairness throughout king of the desert you've made worse jokes just as bad nearly what a game we have here uh leary lost so much underneath the castle there could be more to deal with if joe locks down the stones the crossbows are coming out 90 villagers versus 85 unbelievable stuff oh man pikeman right here they're starting to see crosswoman now coming over to clear this one up but still only fletching on these won't be the craziest thing and it's castle now for mr yo actually not controlling anything important yeah i mean i'm pretty sure he would have loved to see leary's goals before like his have been because then the castle would have probably won the game looks like when he played against viper but i'm just so impressed with mr yo every time i look he's pulling back well i say that as he loses these camels but he's done a good job microwaving his armies and now you have this is where the spam starts to be a problem with khmer right if yo doesn't have camel numbers leary could just go light calf and knights and here it is to the gold and also he's sitting underneath the tc in the north here he's going solid production now night light kept queued up more villagers queued up he has a solid 42 khmer farmers he can produce for quite some time that's the thing about khmer i mean you get pushed out of your base whatever you just place those farms everywhere or anywhere and just simply due to that due to not the eco number but where they're at what they're doing and the fact that joe's now on the back foot it seems i think i favor leery if he can use mobility horse collar he had farms but a horse collar oh it's so late that's explained sometimes for larry let's take a look might find some kills but honestly two tc shooting there some crossbows around shouldn't be the craziest thing ever but if you can never push forward with the crossbows leery can endlessly he can spam like cabin knights endlessly with that amount of farms so he knows what's that he can decide where he wants to raid look at that nice raid at the top again and he can just go back and mobility now on the side of the camera player and that's what we said right they're so flexible they're so mobile wow mr yo might have the score lead he does not have the population lead and this game is just going back and forth now the downside of swinging in with those knights nearly is if the crossbow mask gets big enough and i think it's getting big enough with ballistics the crossbows are at the number now where they could kill those plus two knights pretty easily and then i think leery's gonna have to mix in well he's adding ranges now so he's thinking skirmishers but i was thinking siege as well could be really important uh he is thinking is going for paradox so i'm always getting some skirmishes now as well crossbow number 26 another raid and no reaction by mr yo now mystery we tried to react it's just you can't town center these golds because of the hills they tried his best but yeah i think it was both gold's gonna hit at the same time so easy for leary to know where to hit but i do love how he has constant focus in the north because if you can get a defensive castle or two and suddenly these raids are not as much of an option for leary yeah that's so true it just feels like the top is so so exposed but the bottom is well kind of the more important area yeah so i i don't even know where you should put this castle yo if he was thinking of going imp he probably would sell all that stone but he's staying in castle which is the safe approach now he's starting to mop up some of his units he's leary's trying to switch position on him he's walling up gaps that were open before billy so many light curve and classics i can't remember when we saw that last time i i don't even think leary should justify going impure i think he has to continue to pressure but i don't think he should be so hesitant to attack palisade walls he's got like cabin knights why is he hesitant to attack palisade walls next to this camel were just chasing him yeah that's why he went to the top oh now regrouping that's a lot of meat here oh man and and the tc's there as well this might not be the best fight for leary villagers hop inside the tc leary commits to the fight you know he'll use the skirmishers against those crossbows ridiculous scenes here in king of the desert three i think after all is said and done yo is gonna be better off uh he can click up and he kept his most important units alive i think like two three crossbows died there that is absolutely okay for mr yo nilly we talked about it so many times and it was working well for leary keep keep moving you know keep moving trying to raid there's gaps in the south you could have attacked the palisades in the north loop around keep yo on the run yo is building a castle with 27 villagers which will surely go up and yo is on the way to imp oh that's so good but i think lyrie is thinking about it as well extra gold swords by the way something we didn't mention both at the house of the corn of the map south where players haven't even looked it's been about every other area of the map oh yeah yeah neither of them see the golds down there it is two relics and uh of course sarasota market for mr yo and also leary alerts him to the fact he's open down here so i think he'll plug that gap ridiculous okay what are the army compositions going to be we that's a matchup we don't see too often yeah i it's got to be skirm you need skirm if you're leery i think skirm hussar and you hope for the best because you don't have that much gold income you also can't justify like if you go cavalier saracens have camels and there's already a lot of arbs i just i think you use mobility you keep spamming farms you go skirm you go hustle and then use gold later if you're leery and then for yo it's all about killing early imp with our blessed where is lira even getting gold he has one small mine left there did he use all of his gold it's 1.3 k gold left only for him to mine i don't even see it yeah it's too oh i see it i pulled trash it has to go trash on the bright side for him though oh yo found the gold in the south that's that's not what i was going to say as the bright side that is that is not bright at all you also can't take a stone you always been on it um and i was going to say on the bright side at least there's still some gaps in the south where yo will over top and yo is not walled finally lovely casa there at the top for mr yo as i said not the most important area but we'll control the stones will allow him to get another castle up later there crossbow is now very aggressive here very aggressive do you want to be in this situation probably not now leary did scout the gold so he just scouted the gold but he's getting pushed away by camels oh and i thought the game froze there for a second okay what upgrades are we focusing on obelisk will come in one hour 17 seconds mark same goes for bracer chemistry flies in shortly behind this one so full focus on that would love to see some hazards being mixed in by mr yo as well who now rushes to sea out at the bottom not spotted by larry he's over chopped i'm pretty sure there's an over top in that wood line oh never mind joe sees it and yeah unfortunately for leary he didn't hit the gold that would have been a huge move for him lot of dead villagers let's take a look quick wall is an option there siege workshop gate market yeah nothing i think you know at this point just he's really focused on expanding to the north now nilly with that castle there he's gonna lock down his base so he can't be raided to death and he's really got to push forward with those are blessed he does have more access to resources he does have two relics but he's up against khmer if you've ever seen kumaran post him one of the best post civs just because of those farms it sounds super weird but i actually think mr yo could go for champions here you did oh no it wasn't him i was thinking of someone else going champions in a weird spot it does seem weird but i'd say it only makes sense if he has upwards of like 50 farms okay he doesn't have a lot of food eco right now he's been working on getting that up whereas it's 69 farms for leary and he's only making trash and here i think you use the gold for siege and nothing else look at look at hiri non-stop spam to the south yeah we need a castle there as well it's kind of in between two castles and those are just going through if you had a wall that area that alone would do enough yeah yo has yet to push forward with his rpls it is 180 population for leary zero relics he's been through so much in this game oh my word i still don't know who's winning because yo while he seems to be struggling dealing with the raids he is in a good spot when it comes to gold control he needs to get more farmers up 20 more farmers and yo is winning this one yeah but there's just so much raid so much annoying crazy by lurie everywhere you look this might be not despite this game either what's that the score can't decide on who's winning either oh yeah true i i think that it's i think that while it looks good for yo is a good fight for leary because he removed a lot of the arboles from the equation and he can just simply spam more just now getting ballistics so late upgrades they're hustle only now ballistics only now heavy plow only now oh strategic pause pause and can you blame them like take a breather one hour three minutes in the best part about this is this is the game of the series and maybe even the game of the tournament thus far how is this gonna go i mean there's still that extra gold for yo in the south he's probably about to place a castle there and he can see both those golds um he does also have that castle in the north i think the bad thing for leary is he hasn't had any follow-up siege to these raids so he's raiding but there's no follow-up to really go for the killing blow well only now he's building his first castle right so only now he can go for traps rams earlier might have been an option he's just so staffed on goal you could sell a bit the prices aren't going to be all that good because you have to spend a lot of the game using the market uh in fact the prices food 93 to sell that would be really good for khmer player with 68 oh wow yeah okay i mean i i suppose if you if you spend a lot of the game buying food the price might be decent to sell it yeah i think leery should be doing that now and we're back in business folks o'leary making a mad dash to the south yo well aware he needs to lock that down and has some camels there i think um you mentioned champion has a good idea if he wants a mobile option heavy camel would make sense with a lot of gold but it's still tough for me to justify when there's so many help yeah they're not the craziest thing against trash they're good against skirmishers and hustlers obviously but you need something good against everything and that's in my opinion simply champions i i'm really surprised to see yo building the castle where he's building it i thought he'd build it on the hill next to the tc in the south he's gonna build it there to also protect that stone that's not too bad okay yeah yeah i don't mind it too much like you can you need to send like at least six houses now to go through there and make a great happen our bless pushing forward i think joe has found some room to breathe he's adding stables i think he might just match the hussars of leerys to get some mobile raids in and what's leery up to now that castle just completed it's certainly a target for yo who's got castles surrounding this making a treb now and leery trying to break through those palisades joe needs to eject and wall it sounds crazy but he doesn't do it he gives some momentum to leery there's so many farms back here and yo says i'm sorry this area is under construction please come back another time and also woodline over top 12 wood nine wood yeah seven wood and oh you pulled off the tree wow that's so good there's still another wall there yeah but then you have to run into a castle again another wall there double house oh god this boy is on fire what now he's also being raided in the south and leary will break through the palisades on the left side so the raids will actually be pretty good for leery here and just don't trickle trev leary he's already taking out the castle in the south he's raiding with more hustlers where are the hustlers even coming from he could actually win this with these raids 89 farmers remember harrison don't get harbored here so the natural answer not really there [Music] 92 forms 92 forms for leary and one more beautiful than the other one oh my god there's probably some crazy ones out there i'm sure he actually built a mill did he make a mill for a comer farm i'd look if i felt like it was necessary he's got 26 hot stars queued two o'clock two o'clock two o'clock um i see it oh i shouldn't say that right um anyways i i think yo after dealing with all those raids is really far behind he has 50 idols he can't deal with the hustles 42 hours behind he's still clearing this one quite easily isn't pikeman still an option i i don't like the full hearts off yourself i don't like it no i i think you you just get a meat shield for your arms i also don't like this fight for mr yo remember it's three to two with relics now us stars are just so sick and it's non-stop spam you might as well be cops spamming like cuss girls 29 hustlers in the queue here he's just overwhelming this one this was the moment you said it earlier he was pushing so much he was raiding so much he was only lacking seats and finally he gets too trapped and pushing massive and i think this is where the game ends there's holes in the wall yo is held on for so long you could argue that the person who's been holding longer in this game has been leery and he found a way back so many different counters he's had in this game it's 140 pop for yo that's it and he's still losing pop there he could just take all the castles out you have to be so proud of yourself winning this game just constant action absolutely high level age of empires more rates at the top constant pressure in the center and yeah meat shield simply isn't there anymore five light calves that's all that joe has and also saving khmer because if he had burmese here say good night would have been a completely different gathering they are blessed i think at this point our blessed are like you know what put me out of my misery i know i'm gonna die don't torture me just make it end fast fast and painless 100 pop for yo it's heartbreaking to see him skip out here to make it all the way here go for the yolo get so close but mr yo after beating the viper in the quarterfinals 3-0 is out it will be a leery mbl final what a performance and what a series oh so so good that last game just blew my mind that was the the poor stairs and streaky play the walls this game felt endless just think about we had the all-in castle there which was what like 345 minutes ago or something with 15 villagers then losing the dc lyria had to go back so many counter-attacks and oh god behind this the economies were running so well larry against nbl is going to be a sick final like as casters i feel like we have a pretty good grasp or at least you do nearly on how games develop right and so normally what happens is we know what usually results from one player making a certain move and so there were instances in this game where yo would let's say make a positive move and i would genuinely think this is going to be near impossible for leery to match it and leary would just match it and then leary would do the same thing something would happen very good for him and i'm thinking wow yo is not going to have map control he's not going to have this going to have that and then suddenly out of nowhere yo is there it was genuinely back and forth it was head to head neck neck and neck but if you compare the sift match up khmer are better in post-imp they have the farmers they have the spam potential this is probably one of their best ages despite lacking a lot of like really strong gold units to go for in competitive games and it was leery surviving it took a long lot longer than we thought it would with the survival but he weathered the saracen storm crazy the thing is if there is a very long castle age time your imp your heart hitting gold imp units aren't that important because both people will be already stuffed on gold that's true as well yep that is true as well also i and and i'm trying to think now what could you have done differently hard to say in a game that's so close to perfect from both but i think that well i think you needed a gate at home a wall and a gate like he opened himself so that the knights are getting to the front just build a gate and you're so much safer and past that point i think you have to make a commitment with the arms he was he was reacting when he had castles on the flanks i think maybe you try and use more mobile units i don't know if you can get enough camels out to deal with those like have and push with those arms faster we're currently one hour and 11 minutes in this game and they imp at one hour but still for the last 11 minutes yo who had those upgrades before hussar came in before all the upgrades came in for leery skirmishers he didn't push but the reason there was no push is we see the food difference which is just crazy uh is probably because of leary's constant aggression yeah like forcing those villagers to die or go idle khmer economy and it simply was like 92 farms or 97 farms in the end and mr yo at the end of the game had 15 working farmers yeah and khmer farms do not have drop-off points and that's what it says in the tech tree but the other thing with khmer ever since this bonus was added they drop off the food instantly like it's just like constant drop off they don't collect 10 food then drop it off standing wherever they're at no they actually constantly drop off that food and it leads to a very satisfying look when you're watching your food count spike up my goodness neely i'm even looking at the timeline look at that timeline oh beautiful yeah a crazy crazy game for sure tomorrow uh 15 gmt best of 11 finals justin best of 11 finals where is this leery mbl versus leery now these guys were really close today uh yo and leary but many people expect this to be close um i think it's going to be beyond mbl's group stage set against mr yo it's going to be mbl's first real test against a top five player in this tournament right well he had charts and stradoc in his group so arguably not top five and then he had the less than the semi-final quarterfinals was dog well not top five some people might consider him top ten yeah okay so i think if it's best of five best of seven leery he's just like lights out really fast has run really good with tournament results against mbl there's one thing about the final tomorrow that makes me think mbl has a good run at it and a good shot and it's simply the fact that it is the best of 11 final this was a ridiculous set of games the quality the players have to have to play as good as joe and leery just did is unreal but yeah it gets messy and mbl is known for playing for 12 hours a day and i think he'll have the stamina yeah i think so as well i think that's like both should be fine there i don't remember larry ever complaining about too long series yeah fair well uh nilly thank you for casting today with me it was awesome and uh i think we had some special moments in it too i'll look back on later on tonight uh i'm gonna to wrap things up here on this end and enjoy my afternoon and talk about the finals and appreciate everything today it's cool stuff it was lovely i just looked through the stats by the way the last three sets they faced each other were 5-0 lyri 3-0 leery 3-1 larry yeah but those were all quite some time ago yeah a lot has changed it's different settings too yeah thanks for that data all right nealy we'll see ya see ya
