Ill just watch one more Direct strike video, then ill be done.

[@komorikom6716]

Except the guy is annoyingly yapping too much. I can umderstand why that guy told him to shut up.

[@mighty4371]

I started playing because of your videos. I used to play frozen throne on battle net when it first came out i 2003 or 2004 whenever it was. I also won a few comps on Australia when I was younger. Playing first strike brings back some nostalgia for me. I have 2 companies and a family but somehow I can find time for this game.

[@Josuegurrola]

Carefull direct strike is addictive as F.

[@stanvanr7149]

You have 6k salary right?

[@risonyra2624]

Grubby is addicted to DS, and I'm addicted to watching Grubby play it. It's a deadly combo.

[@sycariummoonshine7134]

I actually did that yesterday, went full units and it stacked with ally kotg, no exp loss and almost took tower first 2 of my waves. (Then they both went double gold mine tier 3 and we lost ours

[@izicial7469]

He said resistant skin will prevent charm. It won't. Hero ults pierce magic immunity. It will prevent possession though :)

[@k.e.v.2011]

It's just a slip of tongue, ironically he stated just few minutes earlier that Hero ults do indeed pierce magic immunity at 18:15

[@alcbaz]

Grubby u always seem surprised when you win. There’s a common strategy in Tug’o’war that if applied to DS would win you every game. It’s quite simple; u allow enemy to attack your throne by reducing your spends, deliberately so they over commit all their resources, then once your throne has defended against their stacked push, you mass rush siege units and take their throne with your own counter-stack and they have minimal resource to counter. This in tug’o’war is the equivalent of releasing the rope slightly to let your opponent get over confident to create a window of opportunity to build fast momentum.

[@YouTubeSucks-tg2gr]

No

[@darkerrex1442]

While this is true remember controlling the middle give you more income so when the stacks fail to finish up the game now the opponents have more resources to essentially finish up the game ending with your loss

[@alcbaz]

@@darkerrex1442 yeah true mate but ultimately the winner of DS isn’t about resource control at all, it’s about who uses their throne to inflict the most damage. The throne is the 4th player on your team, if you look at every scoreboard at the end of the game, the difference is minimal after all of the resource trading. Yeah you might have top kills on your team but it’s at the expense of the kills of your ally. It all evens out. The only missing and key data point is the damage inflicted by your 4th player, the throne. If you saw this data point you would see that the team that wins every game is the team whose throne did the most damage. Because that damage equates to more advantage than even the hero xp lost. In the strategy I explained above, you’re basically leveraging the throne damage to give you that instant significant advantage that tips the balance enough for you to snowball.

[@darkerrex1442]

@@alcbaz Huh, interesting throne as 4th player is definitely an angle i never thought of i always thought the throne as a "last resort", good point there friend

[@Josuegurrola]

Level 27 in 3 weeks. "I am not addicted" 😂 I would get back to w3 but I know myself. I am addicted.

[@kyubeyincubator3607]

This mod has MMR and matchmaking?

[@garagavia]

It do. W3Campions baby

26:41 ChadSeer as always. Looks like the creator loved Thrall. I would have put him anti speell, block item.

[@ginoongtalunan]

Loving this

[@Sinahji]

really nice to see your joy while playin i like this variant of direct strike very much, i played over 3k games of the original and can feel your adiction^^ to the 3 gold rush: i would just skip gold for a clear reason conquering mid is important, but espacially in the early mostly matchup decided to go later for the mines doesnt made sense considering that a normal game (original) goes around 15-20 min honestly its more harmful to drag the fight and stack your wave into another than letting the early waves run into the tower (no matter your plan, around wave 4-5 you need an army) hitting in wave 4-5 with t2 units (ideally counter ones) and a full eco helps your team alot more than investing in a negative matchup for the sake of "helping" if someone wonder why wave 4-5 is so important, thats normally the threshold when the enemy army can really destroy the bunker/tower if you have just a hero as example, can differ in WC if someone insist that you skip without plan eco (in a negative matchup, a positive is quite pointless) ask how the gold would win your lane now, maybe they know something always worth investigating (very often i hear things like "build units" or "go 2/2 upgrades" with 2-5 units)

[@isadora-6th]

7:20 Grubby types ЯсныйЯстреб using english keyboard my eyes: O_o

That RchHbIH thingy is read Jasnyj Jastreb. Last B read as P. bright hawk :)

[@ВикторВасев-т8л]

Хорошо затащил катку Кексу!

[@Andrei3111]

i suggest a strategy grubby next game do this: rush mines + units of each type 1 + hero, then at the point u realise what strategy u need, add more units of that type u need, to push + upgrade them, basically u classically play the game the way its supposed to play

[@Andrei3111]

pretty much u have 3 specialization options: upgrade units, buy items for hero, or maximize units without upgrades

[@kwon911]

These things are addictive

[@BGTS1999]

Love it, thanks for the direct strike.

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

You need to learn when to tech to tier3. It costs way too much, so usually, right when your wave spawns, spent most your money on units and or upgrades, BUT NOT ALL, ensuring you have at least 100g the exact moment. that way, you have 60 secs to generate 350g (2mines give you a total of 6 g/s, so after 60 secs you have 360gold, so you can tech in time). Dont spent money on upgrading your wave or buying units when you do decide it's finally time for teching to tier3. Similar concept applies for 2nd or 3rd hero: it takes 30 secs to produce it, so you have about 70seconds of generating gold and a few seconds to think about it. You should have around 100g or so when the wave spawns, and next wave, you will have your hero. Also, always max units and items before the wave, and get upgrades during the wave march, unless you are defending the fort. Golden rule: max units and heroes before maxing upgrades, unless it's a super critical upgrade like bloodlust inner fire dispel ressurect for tauren frontline etc.

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

for 2nd lane, going 2 mines first then hero then units seems feasible. you skip wave 1 which would reset anyway for lane 2

[@DaWombatGaming]

Such a troll sometime, Grubby :)

[@monkh-odbat-orgil7153]

Did he do “ideal” unit selection for DS video? Or tier list

[@trevorhuang1204]

I don't think so, but Grubby is nowhere near good enough to make any sort of list you should trust.

[@dallashill23]

Thank you for the infinite content

[@claustrophobicmole867]

Thumbnail grubby high off the unholy frenzy

[@cdgncgn]

Grubby could try to play, review solar empire 2. Slow-paced RTS, I personally would like to see his opinions. I personally see lots of potential issues, but doing an honest review could make the game flow faster I think. One of the factions is not far out of beta state imo, but at the same time I think it has good potential.

[@XtReMz98]

I did a similar 3 mines opener for only to be called out by my somewhat toxic teammates. Ironically, the one teammate would straight out said I sucked got smashed at around 27 minutes in with no upgrades whatsoever, costing us the game (it gave the enemy a near untouched wave that stacked with the follow-up wave). Still unsure how DS is meant to be be played though for every position. I think early heroes is the way to go, but then you lose the zero-sum game against no-heroes openers. Where is Spirit of the Law when you need him?!?

[@johnbailey8567]

hell yeah lets go!

[@Aeeloran]

we lost him bois, he is now so deep he is starting to greed with 3 mines

[@102TheWitcher]

Grubby thanks. Please upload 1vs1 games please 😢

[@Shotgunz999]

actually won cuz that warden didnt respawn at the end there when your fs sniped it LOL

[@HackerArmy03]

Would love Grubby to try Legion TD :>

[@ruidasilvamartins]

Awesome !

Finally some real wc3 players, feel the toxicity 😈

Silencio, ya empezó mi novela

[@Psyduck671]

Nothing positive comes out of arguing, even if they started with the non strictly-positive remark "losing lane already".

[@MethicalYT]

Should push for 4 gold mines and go hero last in the current meta

[@trevorhuang1204]

If you want to throw, sure

[@edwingonzalez48]

Is peaking at their base never worth it?

[@Louciferrr]

Love you grubby

[@E2O10]

How does grubby get "random" games all the time? I've played like 20 games so far and every time it's "draft" mode..

[@bohdan_d]

if you only knew how much I miss for yours games of Warcraft III

[@ahhou5800]

bro, let grubby has his fun, sooner or later , it will get bored :) there's nth wrong to try something new

[@c0nstipat3d]

Personally going to unsub soon if the Direct Strike keeps coming

[@friskydrinklunkybank1108]

Then unsub. Not like youre being held hostage. The man just makes vids that he finds fun.​@c0nstipat3d

Grubb started to swear more, it is Direct strike fault ?

Its DOTA. That game left its mark

OH 3HAET!

lol trash talk is real

next video wave 3 4 goldmine rush

[@tobibatt4731]

I like direct strike

[@illbean1337]

Hi Kimmy :)

[@z3yjIn]

I'm glad u cut down the "slow" parts. I like ur twitch streams but on youtube it was so boring to see every moment where u have to wait 20+sec in draft and co.

[@datbunneh3671]

Ngl if I was playing with Grubby I would've told him to stfu too. He's really way too chatty. :D

[@halfmnn]

It's a game dude

[@datbunneh3671]

@@halfmnn ?

[@dimitaranastasov1448]

I normally rush 4 mines then build a hero

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

nah, that's way too much. 2nd lane can get away with getting 2 fast mines and a hero for wave 2, but getting a third mine early is asking to lose the game all by yourself.

[@dimitaranastasov1448]

@zachariastsampasidis8880 for now I got 10 wins from 12 games with this strat it works for me

[@carlosespinoperez5685]

Stop playing direct strike PLEASE stick to the strategy games sir

[@Cernold]

Thanks Grubby for infinite games that I lost cause teamamtes went 3-4 mines

[@nilamelody]

i dont really like that whole mmr debate in the beginning. so childish. could've just mute the guy or smth if you dont like their idea instead of shaming each other for ultimately nothing while the 3rd player in the team is clearly showing their distaste to your elitism act.

[@Medilia-ec6xx]

Honestly true. The whole "i am the elite here" way of acting is so irritating especially with all those unsolicited advices. It's good to help each other and win the game yeah, but you don't do that to everybody you know? sometimes people just don't like being ordered around when they just want to have fun and play the game peacefully.

[@readabook5823]

​@Medilia-ec6xx yes and no. It's a competitive game which requires team work.

[@attention_shopping]

xd

Nope

I kinda hope this dies down soon, I miss Grubby playing the original game.
