Possibly the greatest Rear Echelon Squad in the history of CoH2 competitive. Absolute chads in game 1.

[@LE-ov2et]

Games were great. I hadn't heard Hans do a dual-cast before and was surprised when I realized it was him. I'm so used to him being at 100% stress level. What we witnessed here from Hans was great.

[@HelpingHans]

Thanks :).

[@nickwhitegames]

I'm a very inexperienced player but the casting and energy keeps me learning and loving it. What a sick game.

[@svenstani]

Man I love seeing the CoH Community getting together on lan. I have never really got competitive in the game but I love watching it, thank you AECoH (And everyone else of course) for putting the effort in to bring us these awesome games!

[@Ellie-qv4pu]

Helping Hans is actually a good commentator.

[@Silas-Inservio-Pax]

Exactly my thought, i was pleasantly surprised

[@HelpingHans]

Thanks guys :).

[@tomtomed1]

The attendees going "woooooaaaahhh" reminds me of a laugh track on a sitcom and I love it

[@kultome]

I know that orangepest backs up his smugness with skill but goddamn its still satisfying to see his face look like a kid dropping his candy in g5. Good games tho.

[@benjamintrewin1775]

He looks dirty after each loss. El was able to smile after his licks. Never been a fan of OP (or really against) but after this I will definitely be cheering on whoever his opponent is in any future tournaments :P

[@HistoryGameV]

The pain of being a dad, started watching minutes after release of the video (26 views it says xD), now it's almost midnight (CEST) and I am at the start of game 2.^^ Awesome game 1 though, holy moly! Never underestimate those cooks and clerks with bazookas I guess?!

[@berserker4940]

Respect to all USF players. They usually make for interesting games. Respect to Elpern for playing USF

[@tyger0603]

Correct me if I'm wrong.. I think orengepest was listening to the broadcast because he winced when the sound thing happened and also made cues to as if he was listening.. On game 2

[@Terensu-desu]

What a matchup, ggwp to both. Orangepest shouldn't feel too bad, that was a slough but he's obviously capable of taking a GCS title. Time to try out that MVP Rear Ech build

[@benjamintrewin1775]

Amazing games and amazing commentary AE. I hope you enjoy this as much as you seem to be! After watching, maybe just me but I have to say I'm not an OP fan. Too smug. Losing sucks for sure but in defeat G2&3 El was able to take the headset off, smile and face the others behind him in good spirit like a true sportsman (as did JJJ). OP just looked filthy with rage every small defeat during and after a loss. Just IMO. I commend El for just playing his heart out no matter the outcome.

[@justinumali8618]

What an absolute nailbiter!! Sending my kudos to all the competitors all the way from the Philippines :) PS: ELPERN YOU ARE MAD MY BOI

[@mortz18]

game 1 my new favourite ever. Outstanding! Ready for more

[@simonh.4722]

I love it, just a bunch of dudes enjoying the time and having fun together. This is priceless.

[@JackelWitch]

ed80hz and Tightrope casting together! legit highlight

[@Unbrutal_Rawr]

2:01:32 Actually™ the SVT wasn't a knock-off of anything; it was the G-43 that copied SVT-40's gas mechanism as well as the detacheable magazine - the early-war German self-loading rifles were inferior, as was the SVT-38. The SVT wasn't super rare either; Wikipedia says there were 700.000 built by the end of 1940.

[@SOLID_MATTIC]

That Rear Echelon can take its place with that Hero Cromwell as in the CoH 2 Hall of Fame.

[@manishm9478]

which hero cromwell are you referring to?

[@wisediscernment2403]

Wow what a great series! These guys are so competitively even!

[@christophmahler]

Fine variety of casting - thanks to the neat event setup.

[@EstellammaSS]

Damn those Uber Echelons are epic.

[@IIKraftI]

Just wanna say the commentary is hilarious and you two work well together

[@frosty6960]

Great mood. Great show. Great games.

[@sgtsmith501]

Honestly a puzzling choice to get ambush camo on grens before LMG42s and when you're not fighting snipers. That and the lack of restraint on rifle grenades just means a lack of munitions for LMGs to severely outclass the rifleman before they even think about BAR's

[@darksidedelta]

@Sgtsmith absolutely ! Need those lmg's as fast as possible. + no panzergrenadiers vs USf is a big mistake !

[@sorahidaka9977]

Ikr. It is better to get camo on mg42 and pzgren than grenadier after the nerf

[@garry_wshld]

Can't believe this joy ended. It was mind-blowing even on screen

[@swashbukk]

tough games, but I could sense the wear on the players in the last game. gg wp

[@Jaemez]

Great casting by all but AECOH adds a legendary level of hype. Question: How was the USF army able to compete so well in the late game since USF is not known for late game power? Was it the loss of the Grens in mid-game? Those Rear Echelons and LT with zooks were bad ass but it is shocking they won vs four P4s.

[@Matt13556]

Two favourite casters on the same vid

[@manueldalbello8487]

I would have sold my soul to be there in the crowd with you guys. Amazing event!

[@Pabbley]

What a first game, that was amazing!!

[@georgiospapahatzis9910]

US commando forces are my favorite in the game. So versatile and fast that y9u can almost anything choosing the correct commander. Not that the other 4 are bad, but Americans in the game are the most fan f9r me.

[@danielseen697]

amazing series!

[@PossMcLeod]

"Nice Juicy shot there!" ... THAT'S what it's all about baby!! haha. YEAAAAAH BOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIII!

[@kevinlehnert9387]

What does ABM stand for? Listening to Spotify during a tournament increases Orange's ABMs?

[@DatGuy310]

APM (actions per minute) aka how many orders you issue. It's used as a rough estimate for how well a players micro is. Generally the higher the APM, the better the micro.

[@directorscut4707]

12:09 Did elpern hear what you say, he seems to laugh about the jokes, hm ;>

[@Kwak888]

1:22:08 HE CAN HEAR YOU!!! caps off

[@TheAndresun]

Can someone post the highlight minutes?😅

[@dudeguybro]

AE, your commentary is hilarious, man. Orangepest is the George W Bush of CoH2. LOL. Dude... I died. - A Texan

[@hannesboman3651]

Wonderful

[@Mochi-yo1wy]

bazooka build was great

[@eyblender5896]

Trust me, when you know how to play US, you can be so deadly. They will say US need to be nerf lol
