i think 2-3 more moonwell would make so much diff in this game it's insane, like moonwell is like unit that can heal and cost no upkeep, need to be treathed more as a unit not as a building itself, really nice game :)

[@ross1158]

If once he was level 6 or even earlier he had Panda, so he'd have panda 5 and warden 8 it would've been a lot easier to hold.. this is from his own advice from back in the day :D it seemed so close, i just dont understand how he did so much damage to his economy and still was so close... but on the other hand, he never touched his main or 1st expo, so the HU had full mining from 2 bases + 75% mining from the 3rd while grubby had 2 bases at best for most of the game... awesome video edit in the end to leave the sweaty armpits bit in the vod as well :D :D :D

@19:07 fantastic timing on that mk focus.

[@kurzackd]

man, I"m not too sure... I honestly think the Pala *HAD **_ENOUGH_** mana for a Holy Light !!* ... _AND_ it was *OFF cooldown* too !! So, Grubby's "timing" wasn't really anything special... It was just _THE HUMAN player_ that didn't get his Holy Light in time !! :P .

[@Fiaw1]

Was anyone else asked by youtube to rate this comment?

[@Kvantasan]

constant tug of war or how is it called, both of you were attacking and defending at the same time, i think the copters were the changing point. It gave grubby some time(several seconds) to save the Tree of life. Once the gold was flowing in it was only a matter of time. Perfect micro regarding the hero and the store(the blink was out of this world), but overall good micro from both players. The teleportation of wounded units was astonishing. The slowing poison of the driads was the key also. Well played.

[@DerDarkfire1]

[@Life_of_Matthew]

Great game! I think a second hero earlier on would have made the hold a lot easier.

[@vincentlin9926]

He ran out of resources, right? Is it because Grubby kept no upkeep for longer time? Means better unit use efficiency?

[@ernestomarcos0103]

Props to PriesT for being able to keep the offensive for so long even when he was just feeding you levels at one point (that double attack that destroyed two Trees was amazing), too bad the fact that you weren't mining for the most part meant he ran out of gold much earlier.

[@MersadSBenz]

wow, didn't know grubby pays attention to youtube people aswell! i wasn't the one who said didn't like goat sound (but it was annoying imo) and i gotta say i like peon sound a lot more. loved the attention

[@IceCreamAustin]

Aptly named game. Nuanced skirmishes left and right to win battles within battles that will eventually determine the outcome of the war. Game knowledge and mechanics on a whole nother level.

Could anyone explain why he didn't get a second hero sooner? Even when his warden was 9 and 10, there were times he could have gotten panda much sooner

I believe he mentioned it was a mistake, he didn't feel he'd have enough gold to sustain the economy with a second hero + items

[@BenjaminJones-y4h]

May I suggest crafting situations where shadow strike poison can do some work? early game two archers died taking down one footy that was going to die from poison anyway. shadow strike early, for one, even before engaging. It's not a waste. Generally speaking, that unit will be mostly useless for that battle due to slow and low hp. I won most of my warden games by shadow striking relentlessly. watching you use SS to last hit units when dryad and warden were attacking it kind of hurts my soul, lol. Paladin does really screw up that plan. I would swap to fan of knives vs high level pales

[@BenjaminJones-y4h]

at 26:50. that knight would have died in 1.5 sec.... 4 seconds if not auto attacking.

[@andrebenedetti5641]

What a game! This was more entertaining and amusing to watch than a movie

[@BlankeeStarcraft]

Your opponent wasting their resources on building that many flying machines instead of just making gryphons was probably their biggest mistake.

[@JackoTJK]

100% agree with matchmaking if you have 60% win rate you're still climbing. At some point it will slow down and even out and you'll be at your rank. That's where you won't decisively win or decisively lose you'll just have good close games

[@Pxm78]

I think the key was that Human ran out of gold while trying to sustain 3rd expo for upkeep, and Grubby kept denying that. Eventually, even though Grubby kept losing his 2nd and 3rd expos, it's the endgame sustain that kept him alive. Ultimately the constant and relentless defence, harras, micro, and value plays made Grubby outlast. I think even though Grubby lost many battles, he still won the war. It is Warcraft afterall, not Battlecraft.

[@gamerfanboy4life]

Wow! What a match!

[@Mali8029]

Well 50% can vary at the most extremes, like the worst player and the best player can have more than that like 65% or 35% but those are fringe cases and just because they can happen it doesn't mean they do but you do see it in some competitions where there is a party that is just so above the rest.

[@patricschneid4752]

Regarding matchmaking quality: There are different means to achieve 50/50 winrate. If you are matched with extremely better or extrmely worse players to ensure you always go back and forth between winning and losing, thats also 50/50 but is bad design because you have no chance at winning in every second game.

[@OdderPZ]

well fought Grub

[@Pulpswo]

FANTASTIC!

[@alonilin]

You should know that in CIS region we do watch casts on warcraft 3, and i just watched this your game on Wanderbraun chanel, you know, like with commenting and analytics. The great game, with some micro mistakes from you and huge macro mistakes from Priest. He didnt use tanks and army to attack simultaneously. Anyway so love to see you playing freshing strats. I personally think that if you already were building a lot of Ancients of War, you probably can build just one (how you call it in eng) Ancient of wind? For the fairy fire alongside with golem slow, just 1 hippo to control zepps. It is so fun to watch the cast from observer view seeing some mistakes and decisions from both players, but then also see it in game with commenting from your point, it is just very informative and interesting to me

Any reason to not get a 2nd hero once reaching lvl 10?

[@vexienroe]

With all that xp wasted on warden 10, would it not be good to just have a hero hiding somewhere? or would they have to be in the fight to get xp?

[@numa_kai]

gyadayumn!!!! that was insane!!!

[@somersault4762]

omg really stressful game. I think Grubby made two mistakes. Not having an ancient of wind. If he had it early then the opo's tank drops would have been much harder. And 2nd mistake was not having panda until end of the game. I'm not sure if the flyings switch of Priest paid off. I think if he stays tanks he might win the game.

[@Mattmt56]

Can't believe how low his heroes stayed with all those kills

[@3smike]

GG indeed. Somehow it looked like you tried to make it harder for yourself though. That second hero.... ^^

[@Lucius_Chiaraviglio]

My thoughts on when to get 2nd and 3rd heroes would be right after getting Warden to Level 6. And Siege Engines are a really problematic. Just this side of useless against Human and Orc, but seriously overpowered against Night Elf and Undead.

[@Melkizidor]

Not that I know much about playing wc3, but I don't understand why he didn't get another hero right after the Warden hit 10?

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

He could have gotten it sooner too, but as be said, he didn't know how much gold he would have and if it would have gotten real value

[@bryansweeney3077]

It can be awkward to get a second hero when you've waited so long, since there will be no creeps left to level him up with, and he'll be weak enough that he will die quickly when targeted by the enemy's late-game army

[@kurzackd]

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but to me this game was *already* decided VASTLY in Grubby's favor *by the point in time he had secured his Top-right base...* (i.e. by minute 20-something or so) The reasons it got prolonged unnecessarily to like 40 minutes instead of just under 30 was that: 1) Grubby didn't get 2nd hero when it was clear that he/she would have been VERY beneficial in the context, especially considering that Warden was lvl 9 already... 2) Grubby didn't prepare adequately for the incoming Zepp drops, *EVEN THOUGH he knew perfectly well and SAW them coming !!* 3) Thus, Grubby lost bases / buildings unnecessarily when he didn't have to. *SO, to summarize: Game got too long because by sub-play by Grubby, NOT due to **_great_** play by oppo !! :O* But wait... *THERE's MORE:* -- After winning fight at 15:40, G *DID NOT* go to bottom left to check for rebuilding Human expo... *EVEN THOUGH IT WAS **_CLEAR_** THE HU WAS RE-EXPOING !!* *_HAD_* he done that, he would have cancelled that expo *YET AGAIN* , thus shortening the game EVEN MORE !! :O .

[@Vhite]
