I loved it when the Shade said "let's C" and Cd all over the map

[@joedalton155]

truly one of the units of all time

[@kevingriffith6011]

On the 'Most played modern RTS' thing, starcraft 2 has a big edge with co-op vs AI. Theres a huge audience in... every genre for good PVE content and SC2 supports that audience better than any other RTS out there. Edit: Co-op Commanders mode, I mean. It's the most popular mode in the game by a vast margin.

[@SanityDrop]

There are tons of paid coop Chinese boosters, it literally blighted Korean coop chat lmao

[@Karim-ik5ij]

I remember playing this on Bnet pretty religiously back in 2004. I could never break that 50% win rate. Things I learned from watching Grubby VOD.... 1. I never used the attack command, I just clicked on units I wanted to attack. This was horrible. 2. I tended to watch things through, Grubby knows when things are going to happen and move on to another task almost instantly. For example if a unit is going to die for sure, you don't have to stare at it....I definitely screwed that up.

[@Karim-ik5ij]

I would also HYPER focus during battles and forget to build things and produce units. I had to learn when to look away.

[@stickymoney]

There should be an "EPIC" tag to this game. This was extremely well-played! !!!

[@kurzackd]

25:38 -- never seen that effect with *SIPHON MANA* before !! :O .

First in comments, last in iq. Let's gooo!

How many races do participate in? Nice!

[@mr.whistler6114]

At 25:00 I was clenching my buttcheeks hard because that Paladin could have turned level 6 at any moment and mass resurrect six of his knights at once. Fortunatly the Death&Decay prevailed!

[@jarreththomson4535]

when i was a kid, we used to do WC3 multiplayer games at lunchtime in highschool. we did a game ruleset we called races. where you would play as either horde or alliance with random starting hero active. and other than peasants you could only build units that belonged to the race of your starting hero you could not make another hero.

[@horstus1232]

Thanks Grubbster for making me realize that those are actually roses, looking forward to watching the video

[@adrian8959]

So sick!! Death & decay from on top of the hill & in between trees!!! Imagine that POV if you’re the peasant trying to mine gold

[@iatrue6487]

I didnt know banshee was this game changer

[@6184aabbcdefg]

What a real cool game, I enjoyed watching this so much.

[@cathulionetharn5139]

Imagine telling blizzard devs back in 2000s, the meta would evolve to the point of bloodlusted liches solo chasing and dps-ing down knights, with an orb, double claws and no intelligence items

[@TheUnkow]

Gold lol. Skipping Death and Decay except for edge use cases like online challenges. :)

[@_PEEN1E]

The machine gun LICH satisfaction!! Lich and Blade share this special savage hero attack 👊👊

Bad day for a Paladin on duty. Epic game

Unholy frenzy Frsot Wyrms seems fun

[@stevenashford4174]

Imagine with bloodlust too

[@jd8606]

Me watching grubby send a ghoul to chop some specific wood 5 minutes in 🤔 26:44 happens...

[@manta567]

If they'd give Anti magic shell an anti-debuff buff, similar to anti-magic potion, it would create synergy with frost wyrms and necros, where wyrms could be buffed with frenzy, but not be slowed anymore. It would be an interesting, new mechanic.

[@ProfKisuto]

It feels so rare to ever see level 6 skills used in the current meta - would be cool to see this change

[@RadekTheCourageDog]

Grubby is the greatest Warcraft 3 player that ever lived and I aint even capping. Grubby is the real Warcraft master.

[@Raeechi]

The human player lined his peasants up into a question mark before leaving lol

[@youtubechannel548]

Hey man, love your videos! If you are looking to try some other RTS games, you could take a look at "Lord of the Rings the Battle for Middle Earth II + The Rise of the Witch King". Longest title of any game ever 😅but a very beloved and awesome game, I highly recommend it 🙂

[@tissuepaperbandit]

Imagine having to spend the gold on items or statue mana to get the value in HP that one banshee gave. Insane worth

[@asoim889]

I never realized it was a rose in the skill icon for death and decay. I thought it was some impressionistic old man.

[@Jastro88]

GG, that was a fun one to watch.

[@antoinem3273]

I once performed death and decay on orc base with spikes and lich lost more than half life. I wonder if it still applies.

[@guiguito5505]

You didn't, it only reflects melee damage, always has.

[@HellecticMojo]

Did you overlap the aoe on yourself? Spikes do nothing

[@billdewall6152]

Did the lich trip and fall at some point during the cast? Spikes don't reflect spell damage.

[@antoinem3273]

@@HellecticMojo I tried it again in ud campaign and didn't work so most probably it was an overlap and I didn't notice.

[@basimaziz]

Dude, I loved that secret. Actually S rank. S for secret. And you can't spell secret without a "C".

[@ditch_magnet]

the banshee value in this game was unreal

[@andrijajovanovic1589]

Hey I'd just like to apologize for commenting about the video FPS dropping, it is not. My phone just seems to drop fps if it goes to 2k res on youtube, and it would randomly switch quality, and the weird part is everything beside the video itself remains smooth. I made this mistake because I always watch these videos on my phone, and they're almost the only ones with 2k res. Also my phone is just 1 year old too. so sry again

[@evilmoka93]

That was really a cool game

[@SenyaKapTOXa1Mio]

Hmmm what about infinitly lich mana? Sure, ghost doesn't have lots of hp for lich mana ritual, but you can make lot of them

[@Hell_O7]

Ooo hoho! Bloodlust+Frenzy!

[@PlaystationMan-e3p]

frost nova is probably the coolest ability in any rts game, in my hamble opinion.

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

You need insane setup like this to get Death and Decay to actually run its course.

[@TherealBDL]

Although it's not an RTS, when i have gone into net cafes here in China if they are not playing league or pubg I see alot of WC3 Dota being played.

[@TheTobilan]

Was hoping for a shade surround 😢 but still a great game!

[@Kal1voda]

stealing units, frenzy frost wyrm and machine gun lich with ultimate...and those werent even th easter egg..this game has it all!

[@jonathandunbar7721]

goooooooooo

[@DarkflameEmperor]

Never thought of this but what if shades could mine gold but not build buildings. It's an interesting unit but probably the weirdest one since you need to build a structure just ot have the possibility of having one.

[@EgoCZ]

You need to build a structure for a possibility to have every unit lol

[@xakoman8003]

That'd be broken, basically no eco harass as they're invis and ghouls can defend themselves nicely. You could do with 1 single acolyte hidden somewhere for your building needs.

[@DarkflameEmperor]

@@EgoCZ A ton of summons but I get your point. But a frost wyrm does a ton. A shade costs a useful unit (not too costly) and does nothing but cost supply to be a movable sentry ward. Sacrifical pit should do a lot more in my opinion.

[@DarkflameEmperor]

@@xakoman8003 It'd be like wisps in an entangled gold mine, perhaps being visible if mining. But yeah I just never thought of how a shade is just a sentry ward that takes supply. Of course creativity and balance oppose each other so the idea doesn't lend itself to anything beyond looking for a purpose for a shade beyond invis worker.

[@SimplyGun]

That heal is so annoying....

[@doktorban7316]

See? See!

[@TheRealArmor]

Second in comments, GRUB TO THE SUB!

[@contris1]

is he bot or what. how could that paladin non stop heal magic protected units. he keept healing lich for 0 dmg like 3 times in a row

[@Lockieez]

Yeah that was weird

[@ditch_magnet]

i imagine he thought he could trade mana for mana and nuke through it. He was hyperfocused on nuking down lich. his play was very good otherwise

[@cassiocosta9507]

That's the way to ghoul

[@unarmoredwtf]

wow gg

[@DavidLee-frost]

Any reason why the opponent keep using holy light on unit with anti magic shield?

[@lazarusfitness3892]

Because Anti-Magic Shell is no longer just completely immunity. Or else he wouldn't be able to even cast Holy Light on it in the first place like when it was it's old OP form. Now just view it as a bubble. It's an absorb. So he's holy lighting it to break the absorb to get to the worker with the next holy light.

[@WhoKnowsWhatTheirDoing]

Blizzard did such a good job with making each race as cool as it can be. The sounds effects the quotes visuals ect. Just imagine how good a WC4 game would be with the technology that we have now. The abomination after you have clicked on him a million times says "Us dead sexy!" (Austin Powers reference). Austin Powers one of my favorite movie series of all time. Another quote that cracks me up is when the crypt fiend says " you rang ". Blizzard should come out with a WC4 and SC3. Ai generated to help. Make it faster and cooler

[@damo9961]

The love that made Warcraft 3 does not exist anymore. There is no way Warcraft 4 will better than Warcraft 3 if they made it. Love is everything when making excellent 11/10 games.

[@WhoKnowsWhatTheirDoing]

Get the right people on the job is the secret sauce. Blizzard makes good stuff. I started with WC2. The jump to WC3 was good. Then frozen throne and the incredible game that withstood the test of time that it is today. I would only imagine WC4 would be absolutely incredible. The WC3 reforged left plenty to the imagination. I don't count reforged as an attempt. WC4 and SC3 would be amazing. The jump from SC1 to SC2 was a good one too. I don't know if they could use Unreal engine 5. I am a complete newb to video game making... But that unreal engine 5 looks pretty good.

[@petercoderch589]

Grubby, why did you(or a mod) blocked me on your Twitch chat when I said literally nothing offensive or against the rules? I never expected my favorite player ever to do this to me when I did nothing to merit it. You are going down the route of Back2WC in moderating speech. So I won't be watching your Twitch chat anymore, and I am unsubscribing to your channel. At least on Back2WC I actually violated their stupid rules about not talking balanceto get banned. On your stream, I just typed "My favorite player playing my favorite game" and my message got deleted and I was suspended. So, yeah, bye. Unsubscribed.

[@Lockieez]

You can usually send a ban appeal through Twitch and the mods/streamer will check your chat history to see if it was an error.

[@tobiasfunke8967]

I mean i came from a different comment from yours to check what kind of person you are and this message was just flaming battlenet wc players with saying they are noobs like 3 times in one sentence. Depending on this behaviour you are probably lying.
