AGE OF EMPIRES 4 TOURNAMENT - Ft. Top Talent | Gran Turino Weekly #1

[@jeffsanders8025]

This was an entertaining tournament, enjoying the commentary. “He’s gonna give them the Jesus” lmfao I can’t even with that line every time.

[@Draregkoeliekalie]

Turins oneliners are great

[@obnoxiouspotato6147]

As someone who has watched you fore 2-3 years now I appreciate the switch to AOE4. Warhammer 2 is an amazing game but at the end of its life. Its nice to have a fresh game!

[@turinRTS]

Happy to do it!

[@macgivor]

Same here! Loving the aoe4 content while we wait for wh3

[@eisenhorn7588]

As always, thanks for the epic content Turin. I've always loved the AoE games but have also been really bad at them. I've been learning a lot from you and the other competitive players!

[@turinRTS]

Hell yeah man!

[@Eatlead727]

That China round was awesome, very exciting to watch. I really like the system that you can't replay factions, it's nice seeing some lesser played factions throughout the ladder. Pretty sweet boar action as well

[@Coeurebene1]

Glad to see your subs count growing fast with the AOE community! Well deserved.

[@turinRTS]

Cheers!

[@Perzyn]

I have been watching various pro games cast since the release of the AoE4 but so far that TopKhan vs Mixu series takes the prize for most entertaining hands down. Outside the box openings, close calls and all in all amazing play there.

[@cdubz139]

You're doing a great job with this pivot to AOE4. I think you'll grow your channel nicely, and end up doing some really good things. Congrats amigo!

[@andrewwilliams2536]

Turin, these matches were incredible and i am learning so much. And you are the best commentator across any topic I tune into on youtube. great work!

[@turinRTS]

Means a lot brother

[@jn9509]

Thanks for the great content, Turin! I find it very entertaining to watch you commentate (and to watch you play). Your videos help me kick back and relax after a long day of "work, work" and "more work?". Greatly appreciated! Cheers from Norway (let's hope for Leidang in AoEIV!).

[@Eatlead727]

Hey Turin could you see ever adding some 2v2 tournaments. I think having two civ comps would be really interesting to watch them pair together

[@turinRTS]

Someday yes!

[@hopperjohn7207]

I find it hilarious and awesome how the aggressive build a keep in your enemy's base strategy reflects the memetic Rogal Dorn and his "The Best Offense is a Good Defense" approach.

[@DBrew4xD]

The best defense is a good offense*

[@PerunAU]

@@DBrew4xD Not for Rogal "more ferrocrete" Dorn

[@ojikhan4582]

Can’t wait to try my hand in one of these tournaments soon! Thanks for putting them on. They’re so fun to watch and i learn so much

[@roundishwhale]

So many tense Matches, thanks so much for the amazing commentary and holding the Turinament^^

[@turinRTS]

Our pleasure!

[@Kyrathos]

This was incredible to watch. Never got into the game myself but i randomly stumbled opon this tournament live yesterday and through the sheer charisma of the host i stayed and became kind of a fan. I think the UI can be improved, both the bracket whicht was upscaled too high and the ingame Score with numbers not even being centred in their ring, but other than that the games were great and super fun to watch. Big parts due to the excellent casting done. Ima defenitly tune in next week for the next one...

[@turinRTS]

We will fix the UI fear not! Cheers man!

[@jakechristopherson2633]

Ah yes Turin and his UI management lmao

[@diegowushu]

I have literally never played an AoE game save for the demo of the first one as a wee lad, but I find these very entertaining, thanks to the cast I can pretty much get what the hell is going on lol.

[@MA3ATPAKEP]

Great tournament, most games were very intense! All players fought well, and I am looking forward to next streams.

[@turinRTS]

Seriously...heated games today

[@RahulDevanarayanan]

Holy shit the hold vs the rams I can’t believe how strong that age 2 abassid push which came out of nowhere was And then simtom holding despite how much eco he had to sac Insane game

[@TheAshHeritor]

That first Delhi play... That was some wild sh*t! Goes to show they can play without Elephants. I love Delhi cav & men-at-arms builds. Play it Malik Ambar style (who is a fascinating historical character who ruled part of the Deccan plateau that absolutely trashed the Mughal Empire's superior legions for a good few decades with a small force of light cav).

[@arnettthayer5314]

The second mixu game with india was awesome all the way to the end. Thats as far as ive gotten at the moment!

[@Count.Saruman]

"Welcome ladies and gentleman, Turin here, and today we're.." "Wololo" "...LegendofTotalWar here, and today we're going to be..."

[@Diarmuhnd]

Turin and friends making an Age of Empires 4 Fight Club. :)

[@turinRTS]

Yes!

[@natesirovatka2256]

Shhhhh, don't talk about it. There are rules, ya know.

[@bomah3486]

amazing commentary, loved the knowledge and entertainment. impressed af

[@mikaelberg4304]

Count on Turin to establish tournament so soon after AOE4 release! I love it! Thanks Turin! Glad TW guided me to you ;)

[@AscendedLeaf]

Really enjoyed this content! Can't wait to see more! Hell I might even sign up for a tournament sometime.

[@turinRTS]

You should!

[@gh0stluv979]

I didn't know who you were, but I subbed after the first match. Hope to see more of this. I'm new to AoE, but this is amazing

[@jackloy934]

Your commentary is spot on dude keep up that professional gamer vibe $$

[@wingchun2147]

Love the new tournaments! I think current resources are more relevant than per/min, as you can see when the can afford to age up or create crucial defense and so on...

[@XassassinTV.]

I really enjoyed this tournament. Great commentary.

[@particularplaypaint5384]

The Intro music this time just hit different. Daamn. Great choice man

[@UberOcelot]

Loving the casting! Keep it up. Hopefully Total War doesn't steal you away, AOE4 is just getting started!!!

[@TheRockofEasyCo]

it's kinda funny how, compared to AoE2, the strategies are so different but you can tell the players are used to the old ones, ya know? like I haven't seen tower rushes, but I've seen tons of defensive towers, way more than in any aoe2 game. Walling actually uses walls since buildings don't block very well anymore, but they aren't necessarily trying to fast-castle. I'm excited to see new strategies

[@blunda1501]

glad to see Top Khan in the tournament, that guy is quality content, hope to see you guys collab in the future.

[@MichaelB-jw5po]

Mixu setting up an entire farm economy just outside of Top Khan's city was hilarious

[@DerOrk]

Any chance to move the score counter somewhere else - upper left corner perhaps? The Observer UI in that game allready a bit obscuring in that game, I think it would look nicer if the center stripe was kept empty for the sake of visibility.

[@aheadatime]

How long is the delay between the game itself and the commentary? I have a suspicion that some of these players are listening in on the livestream, unless it's pre-recorded and I'm just dumb.

[@Tluccodis741]

I like your content. Enjoying the AOE4 series immensely. Simple request: Could you just say Damn? I mean is it necessary to add the other part?

[@joaquin.cipriani]

Awesome videos as always! Quick question! Where will be able to watch Genesis Tournament this weekend? Thanks!

[@turinRTS]

I will cast my own games, but on Elite Gaming Channels twitch!

[@joaquin.cipriani]

@@turinRTS Thanks!

[@Reignor99]

"The couched lances of the Holy Roman infantry are able to hold the day" Damnit Turin, there's a difference between a braced spear and a couched lance.

[@Talifax]

Any recommendations on how to start getting better? I played some Starcraft years ago but I would love some pointers

[@nonepppppppp]

Sick sick series, learning a lot watching this !

[@Laberlampe]

Could you suggest a faction to play for a beginner? I am maining the French for now, but even though people are vastly overestimating how OP they are (except Hulks, they are bs), this makes me kind of want to play a different faction. Also not the biggest fan of their heavy focus on cav/archers in the late game. Maybe something a bit more balanced/versatile in their approach or even a tier list in your opinion. Anyway, watching this is really fun and you get to learn a lot.

[@RahulDevanarayanan]

G2 of finals was fantastic! Really wish Mixu had been able to scout the trade route earlier, as well as prep the infra earlier for elephants to come out as soon as age 3 hit It seems players are still figuring out the punch/counterpunch flow of age 4, I’m excited to see how gameplay evolves!

[@Maw0822]

So excited for the future of Aoe4 tournaments!

[@kinoblues6050]

Mixu's tenacity under pressure was really impressive

[@allenantonioheyllatorre5720]

"The tc bug is rushed" hahaha Loved watching it. Very good commenting Had to make some popcorn to watch that French x Chinese game

[@HIIIBEAR]

Awesome event and casting. Earned a new sub!

[@DeCamJ]

Great casting! Is there a way for the players to stay same color through the series? It's just me, but kept getting confused.

[@motog6436]

Awesome intro music choice!

[@lorddem1659]

I am just halfway in and the Mixu Delhi game vs Top Khan Rus what a game man!

[@turinRTS]

Seriously

[@grafsamuel2766]

What u think about first game both players have a hidden pick no ban. And from then on the looser chooses whether he wants to first pick into 2 bans or if he wants to have second pick. That why it would be completely fair with first and second pick.

[@vivapinat13]

Oh i love Gran torino in my hero academia regardless! Happy bday turin!

[@Polynikes24]

I love your content. I hope you stay with aoe4

[@turinRTS]

I will, I'm hooked

[@Proxi_Ex]

Hey Turin really love your AOE content. When casting though could you please switch into the individual players vision more? Especially in the early ages. So we can actually see what their vision and scouting is like. Would be nice.. Keep up the awesome work!

[@turinRTS]

Good call!

[@notreallyablessing7536]

This was so much fun

[@JoshuaFoy]

Turin out here talking about the dark times on aol dial up lol.

[@emohung1172]

Is it not possible for the Chinese to do the exact same early rush with their supervisor as Delhi?

[@turinRTS]

He doesn't effect military prod speed, he does resource drop off

[@danielmoniz394]

@@turinRTS The Imperial Official can supervise a production building (instead of a resource drop-off site) for triple production speed. It should make the Chinese very versatile! One of each military building, plus an official, should be enough to react to anything.

[@Matthew-hl5eg]

@@danielmoniz394 You can "technically" proxy with a supervisor and a single vill, but it's fairly risky and fairly easy to counter, just scout or kill the supervisor. Defensive supervisor capabilities are much more significant, and I normally see it done with clocktower spam, but early game works well. On that note, the supervise ability also has the effect of reducing research times. So eco upgrades from mill or camps and unit techs are done 200% faster, but can't supervise a blacksmith for some reason. Great for an early hunt eco with a quick mill+official getting a quick survival techiques. Note - doesn't work with docks. I was so saddened when I learned this.

[@nspence2854]

"French knights are a good counter against English longbows" Me: wait what? 🤣

[@zijianzhao8419]

I hope this game adds a circle formation. So much potential for spear/archer play

[@raifthemad]

That delhi v mongols game, when all the Delhi eco was hiding in buildings and mongols were running around in their base with lancers, you were going, "Delhi might still have a chance." I just looked at the scores. Delhi 2800 Mongols 4600 Not unless mongol player went afk for like 5 minutes.

[@sirjok3r129]

How does one know that the participants aren't screen ghosting?

[@nathanielmansfield7817]

Are water maps banned in Turin's tournaments?

We typically don't do them as they are not the best for balanced play IMO

[@GilthosDrakoniss]

I love water maps in the rotation. I makes players well rounded.

[@Maw0822]

I think the problem with the trade wing is the second upgrade feels really weak. Armor on traders seems completely useless. The other 2 upgrades seem good though

[@Stonekinaggressor]

I hate that ranged units target one enemy and do overkill of damage. Like that 15 springs shooting just at one cav in game 2. It requires some extra amount of micro to give different targets to units :/

[@rain89skarlet80]

to be realy honest AoE4 is not realy exciting to watch i prefer to play it myself. thanks to Turin its still enjoyable but iam more excited about warhammer 3 and to join finally the multiplayer. cant wait for Turins glorious tournaments

[@turinRTS]

SOONISH!

[@tonymorris4335]

You should let the first person ban 2... but the opponent gets to pick one first. Then they have to be smart about who they ban because banning two strong factions for your opponent to take the one you want would hurt. Make them ban with some concern. That's the way most MOBAS do it like DOTA2.

[@sarathchandrabussa9427]

Isnt it a bit unfair to let the winners decide on the next match ban and picks?

[@turinRTS]

It is a disadvantage typically to pick first, but we are evaluating it!

[@kimikoito3886]

the replay/spectator on this game is trash it needs UI with unit production and supply counts for both players

[@austincoleman8074]

ngl TopKhan needs to learn better tactics... blew both games because of letting his springalds get wiped to cav spam, despite having strategies that put him otherwise in a very commanding position.

[@tatemessmer4936]

unfortunately this game will nevere be a big esport. It really could but it needs to be far more micro friendly. Actions need to feel instant. Look at Star Craft. The game literally is entertaining becasue split second moves decide entire battles. The macro is also a great thing but a game needs to have both to break into popularity. This game has macro. Micro is trash though.
