UD vs HUM is by far the most entertaining match up lately, what a legendary final ! Thanks so much Neo for the 2 days marathon stream ! get some well deserved rest .

[@cadukizzi]

You mean Happy vs human, because any other Undead just get smashed.

[@pablocortinas360]

Really? 120 had its losses but did also beat humans. The matchup looks hu favored but other matchups are also a bit imbalanced ( ud vs ne or orc vs hu).

[@GrahfXG]

Just a great series

[@coolboy9225]

hum vs orc is great too

[@charlesdouglas2007]

Hu vs ud is so sick. The level of strategy is unreal.

[@ColonelDutch]

Respect to the guys who worked on this tournament. Lots of interesting entertainment ideas during breaks between games. A short and interesting show match with players communicating on air. Beautiful. I watched both of your broadcasts in parallel so as not to miss anything)

[@user-fx6ny9by5q]

I did the same LoL

[@joshydillens148]

Hello friends of Warcraft. This is my happiest moment in years, Fortitude and Happy both bring it to another level. I could not be more delighted of this super high level back and forth, especially game 2. Thank you guys, this is better than any movie/series I could imagine!

[@user-yi8rx3vm3m]

I am happy for Fortitude, I hope the prizepool can be higher in future, this tournament deserved $50k. Best I've seen in many years!

[@shookmusic3277]

Neo is in his element in his little room last few days just enjoying the great warcraft. Thanks for casting. Wheres Remo?

[@lurchibald4863]

[@morannonnorstund254]

Beating Happy in LAN tournament is a truly legendary feat. Equals the Happy s win in WGL 2019 over moon

[@SmoothJK]

Saw it live, was so good that I waited eagerly for the video upload just so I could save it to my playlist.

[@sailor-erida8576]

Congrats Romantic with 1 place! On official stream was said, what Forty came to Dubai with his wife and child, so he had company to celebrate.

[@Zach-sq1gs]

Neo is an amazing commentator. Game 2 was insane...watched live on Twitch today!

[@StankoAx]

Havent watched WC3 in a year or so, and when I returned TPL and this tournament happend. I am blown away at how good these and other guys played. I am especially surprised at how good Kaho is. This match was insane and the broadcast by B2W team was a treat. We all really appreciate you for keeping the game alive. Please never stop doing it. Thanks Neo and Remo!

[@Back2Warcraft]

feels good to read this brother! hope you stay a while :)

[@MsJavaWolf]

Already saw it live, it was a great final.

[@Bemisfan1]

I WAS THERE WHEN I SAW FORTY TAKE HIS PRIZE.

[@MiNoX239]

ive been hoping for a forti vs happy final for so long and it did not dissapoint my high expectations. The 2 best players and the best matchup to watch at the moment. we even saw freeking necromancers. A worthy final for an extraordinary tournament. Big thanks to the players, organizers and B2W. GG WP

[@timo6762]

Necros are the most fun casters to watch, aside from neo of course.

[@shookmusic3277]

seeing necrowagons in a 2024 in a grandfinal tournament makes my heart swell

[@josuepereira9782]

The last game was very interesting not because of just strategy or raw skill, but because of the player's attitude. Lich successfully harassed Archmage and managed to deny Human expansion while expanding himself. Most HU players would lick their wounds and try to catch up by creeping a bit far away from the Undead at this point. Happy probably expected Fortitude to creep too. He was not prepared for the harassment. He had plenty of time to move to defend his base IF he was expecting the attack but he did not. He lagged in the middle of the map without a TP killing water elementals because he did not expect his opponent to have the balls to counterattack. When Archmage "vanished" with 6 footmen he did not assume for a second they went straight up north to his base. This was not some sneaky tower rush or weird mortar timing. He knew the units existed, he just did not assume Fortitude would use them that way. He lost the expansion, got supply blocked, and overall seemed baffled by the situation and I feel his morale was crushed after such a rookie mistake. All of this happened because he did not expect a player who took a beating to have the gall to punch back. In the end, he was not happy to see his opponent's fortitude.

[@Back2Warcraft]

great comment!

[@MarceloSousa92]

You said the only correct way to summarize it Neo: peak warcraft. Tidehunters was absurd

[@spoocq]

Such a great series. Has been a pleasure watching it and thanks to Neo for doing such a good job casting it.

[@HectorDiez]

And historic moment of this game, that many will be lucky to see thanks to you guys publishing this amazing video

[@Back2Warcraft]

historic indeed!

[@andyt9142]

Game 2 was insane. And Jannes casting was spot on as well

[@TheDeathlyG]

Thank you for the cast! Man, watching other UI's makes me so thankful for the B2W and the Chinese UI's. So many nice QoL aspects that make it so easy to watch and follow what's happening.

[@michelmichel4895]

Amazing tournaement. Thanks to the russians, a Lan in Dubai, great set and decor, Forti and Happy my two favorite players duelling in a legendary grand final and Neo the best caster of warcraft. Can it get any better ? (Yes an even bigger cash prize)

[@CaptainKehling]

Insane final... Watched it live and was on the edge of my seat most of the time

[@ryanmagnole2402]

haven't been watching much warcraft lately, but i'm so lucky and glad i tuned into this series. like holy shit top level exciting play, something a little different throughout the whole series

[@KageManTV]

I came, I saw and I was blown away!!

[@Vincent44483]

Damn, i believed this is the 4th times fotitude defeated happy in bo5 this few months. awesome ply

[@timtasch1015]

In the last match, Fortitude's counterattack on Happy's Expo was absolutely the right decision and absolutely confused Happy, he didn't expect it at all. Fortitude kept the pressure on happy constantly high so that he couldn't tech t2 or expand.

[@officialCannisMajoris]

Saw it live! Was awesome!! GG

[@sp4rta]

Fortitude making history. "If I can do it everyone can do it! " What a Chad.

[@trualways911]

Forti's the recent Kryptonite for Happy. His recent rise to the top is crazy good.

[@SmoothJK]

I remember years ago when he was just that Romantic tank gimmick guy who was annoying to play against. Now he looks brilliant. If he just gets his consistency up, he will be tough to beat.

[@Herrtheone]

Great tournament , watching it live , but now rewatching the replays and still love it ! Congratulations to the champion well deserved ! Fantastic perfomance Fortitude! :)

[@timo6762]

GJ Happy, GJ Forti, GJ Neo, GJ betboom. Amazing tournament and truly entertaining finals. This new Hu vs Ud is what I always hoped the matchup would be. Almost every unit is used and undeads are defending their expansions making the game more about interesting macro decisions than hero micro. (Although hero micro is also just insane)

[@KageManTV]

This was such an incredible series and one of the best casts you have done Neo. Thank you for the spirit and energy you bring into this beautiful game and thank you to Betboom for organizing this wonderful tournament!

[@Back2Warcraft]

felt so good to see the story coming together :D

[@jjakji2078]

Neo, you are such an incredible caster. These games are sick. So glad to have found this channel some months back.

[@Back2Warcraft]

thanks so much made, i really felt this series :D

[@lenam317]

Great matches. Congrat Fortitude and I hope the pro scene will become more healthy as Happy domination is challenged now.

[@johnnyenglish1652]

This match is gold. Well played both players and broadcast!!!

[@NightFore]

"B Tier Mountain King" That was a sick Game 2 & 3 for MK.

[@Back2Warcraft]

it was a joke towards the main stream casters, who put MK in B-Tier during an intermission :)

[@NightFore]

I was trying to make a joke in reference to that :') I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your ongoing content, it's one of the ways I've kept watching Warcraft 3 over the last few years.

Great series!! Congrats

[@milomilo5314]

What an incredible series!!! Peak warcraft right here, great casting too! LETS GOOOOOOOOO

[@user-bm8lb9se3l]

This is the best series so far this year. I hope the grand final to be a BO7. Fortitude played a decent Warcraft game. Pure fortitude on his face when every time the camera was on him.

[@thebigbaiter]

Great series! I enjoyed a lot!

[@HiddenWen]

Masterclass of HU vs UD! Forti has come such a long way from when he first debuted as Romantic. Started with Sky, then came Infi and TH000, and now we have Fortitude. Continuing the fine lineage of Chinese HU players!

[@user-ek4dm3gt7y]

[@vincentwong1666]

Great cast and great games ! Forty really reminds me of SKY human style and even perfect it . Aggression from the beginning, and now forty has built a all around skill around his aggression play style . What an achievement and this is blessing for wc fans 🎉❤

[@luckylarry71]

_Yooo!_ 40 returns as the true fist of the north star-style. A true landmark achievement indeed! Thanks for putting this all together and making it an absolute banger.

[@dimitaraleksandrov6381]

Amazing series! Tidehunters and Conceled Hill games were very grand final worthy! One of the best finals played! Question please as I have missed the latest 2 patches or so: did human get buffed and statue mana regen nerfed finally? Early game seemed to go far better for human vs what I am used to seeing.

[@BigD751]

Neo is seriously a phenomenal caster. We are spoiled with the top notch gameplay and the top notch commentary. Better than any sportscaster I can think of...

[@kevinschwehm6478]

absolutely insane!

[@WTFdeathknightFTW]

Thanks Neo!

[@mentra-8790]

What a finale. I thought going into the final game with Archmage would be the wrong decision, but Forti rocked it and changed the history of all human players. DAMN NICE, that's why we love Wc3. Cheers Forti🍺

[@comedyclubpodcast]

Great match, thanks Neo

Crazy final game everything was just fighting non stop

[@ColonelDutch]

Great games. Amazing games. I didn’t know who to root for in these matches: I was worried about Forti because he is a Human; I was worried about Happy because he was the Emperor. In any case, I truly enjoyed their confrontation. And I’m very happy for Forti, of course. He's an amazing guy)

[@Khadgars123]

What an amazing final! I still can't believe the emperor was defeated by a Hu! Well done Forty!

Spoiler This is not the first time I see Happy loosing recently, but the first time I see him being outplayed so badly and it was in a game 5, the most important game in the entire tournament. Phenomenal performance by FORTIDUDE, my God, what a player

Game 5 was peak WC3. A benchmark for all players to try living up to. Thanks to all the absolute mad lads keeping this scene alive and well! (Spoiler ahead) . . . Happy comes in for the creepjack at forti's expo, it all looks lost. ArchMage vs. Lich? No way, it's over. Forti says "nah, you wanna take my expo? Take it. But if I can't have one no one can. Genious. That footy movement was absolutely perfect.
