God Save Us All... - Beyond All Reason DISGUSTING BUILD

[@OhBoy235]

even with the metal he got donated by others the marauders hit at about 12 minutes so saying 14 minutes is the earliest isnt entirely untrue if you dont rely on help from your teammates, most people will propably only make it to the enemy side at 16 minutes its a common timing when people rush it or at least it has been.

He also had T2 construction gifted to him.

[@and-for_GoD]

Seen this about 4 weeks ago from a low os player(10-15, can't recall) 1 of my teammate said, he will never manage to build the lab. Well, he made marauders. The only difference was that his team didn't send him metal and he didn't micro the marauders as good as dolfy.

[@F_Print]

Dolfy with the unexpected plays, as always! And just yesterday I had a Geo player justifying his passiveness by stating you can't do anything T3 before your 3rd AFUS. Heh.

[@BrightWorksTV]

Hahahaha yeah sure XD

[@SSGLGamesVlogs]

I didn't realize Marauders also have AA missiles.

[@TacoMedic]

> 14 minutes is realistic T3. > T3 is done at 10 minutes and surrender vote is done at 14:05 minutes. What a gamer

[@YurGa1980]

7:00 around here you can see that his frontline actually won. There's a video with similar build by Drongo except he doesn't skip t2. Still same timing even though his frontline gets pushed up to his base when he starts t3. I think Dolfy wasted too much E and blundered a bit at t2 mex construction. Going deeper skipping t2 lab only saves bp and e which you should funnel into converters instead, not to mention someone has to actually sell you armada t2 con asap which are pretty vital to sea players as well. ED: 4:30 if you're into communism or have mates to play with check this out. Would make sense to sling this 1k metal to the guy that's rushing t2 cons since you're not building any metal-costly things until you get your t2 con.

[@taesssi]

And someone in comments on another video was saying how everyone should only stick to the meta in this game. If you stick to the meta you end up on the losing side.

[@shanerooney7288]

The meta is the optimised winning strategy. Cheese builds sometimes win. But meta builds have better win/loss ratio.

[@nathanpetrich7309]

in games that involve incomplete information mechanics, like fog of war, the meta usually carries an assumption that everyone scouts and nothing goes undetected. That assumption is always a weakness that creates a counter-meta based around fake-outs, hidden tech, surprise attacks, etc. I think that if game designers want to create the most enjoyable space for players and fans alike, they'd continually patch the game with the intent of balancing the meta and counter-meta so that the counter-meta strats actually win roughly half the time. Cheese isn't bad for the game, it just keeps us on our toes!

[@dirtyK4894]

I also think there was quite a bit of communism/slingshot happeneing between dolfy and the purple player with energy to get him there so fast

[@BrightWorksTV]

Agreed plenty of folks shared resources as soon as T3 was up to get those rauders going asap

[@michaelstone5903]

Where does the metal come from at 8:22 and 8:34?

[@michaelstone5903]

Ah gotcha. Thanks @rioridhkerr2379

[@jxg1652]

The change in the metalbar is because at 8:22 he changes observed player perspective from Purple (airplayer) to Dolphy. 8:34 is far more mysterious, At first I thought he ate the botlab, but he did that long before. Either A) Someone was overflowing massively and suddenly (for example, full M-storage that got removed (killed/recycled) or someone recycled his T2 factory just before M-storage was finished). Or B), in the past you could only share ressources and units over a special menu that appeared when you pressed H. Idk if that still exists, but it probably does - and maybe sharing res over this menu doesn't show up in the teamchat. Idk why anyone would share M this way, but some of us oldschoolers have old habits that are hard to break.

[@Crozz22]

@@jxg1652 at 8:34 seems he got the refund of the t1 geothermal that he built over with the t2 geothermal

You can! Unfortunately it's illegal in most countries!

[@lordjammacus5431]

14 minute win with t3 is pretty insane let alone 10 minute t3 lab!

[@mattmcginn8096]

Yeah honestly if he just went with two of them to push mid with the team, prolly gg in most games. 10 minutes is often just about the time front transitions to T2 in a lot of games lol

[@Atenvardo]

I've watched Dolfys player-cam in a few matches, impressive stuff.

[@donbionicle]

This should be how all Seton's games are played! Delicious cheese.

[@Krzeszny95]

I can solo a T3 gauntry at 10 minutes and finish 10 Marauders at 13 minutes at that starting spot.

[@mesaber86]

Not sure why my comment was removed but ill say it again as i think its one of the most cost effective ways to deal with marauders. Shurikens can stun marauders as marauders dont have any emp resistance, you will need 4 per marauder. Marauder do have AA but its slow working (1 kill per 2 sec). Guess link to replay is not allowed so i recommend you try it out if marauders an issue.

[@Slyzor1]

I know that a nuke can be up at 9:30 on average T3 lab is cheaper than that so you can make it even quicker. Perhaps even at 9:00 on average

[@EsperaTheInspirational]

7 min tzar rush is scarrier my man. Anyway good cast as always!

[@mesaber86]

Marauders far deadlier. A single Tzar cant really do anything. Tzar needs a lot of support and is more an artillery unit. Better to get Tigers and micro em well with repairs. Both Tzar and Tiger can get stunned by shuris in no time so vulnerable against air. Tzar do has one advantage and thats it cant be stolen by enemy t1trans.

[@acqua_gaming]

this why start with 2 solars even if wind is max

[@aarongarland9152]

8:20 watch his metal, he gets a 1k jump from something.

That's when the UI switches from Bulbasaur to Dolfy - check the right side of the screen above the player list.

Dolfy OP

[@XViper123]

I guess it's impressive, but it's also incredibly 'meh'. Do people really enjoy games being over like this? I still remember a game where I fed a guy metal and energy at the start so he could rush down the enemy. We won super easy, but I was just sitting there going "so what?" That wasn't fun or challenging. Ultimately just seemed like a waste of everyones time.

[@BrightWorksTV]

Suffering from success

[@HumbleElvengod]

Kinda a side effect of big team games. I feel like in smaller team games if you give too much to a person ecoing then you’ll lose too much on the front. Fwiw someone is working on a mod/setting to disable unit sharing, which sounds interesting to play around with.
