Hidden Cup 3 | Quarterfinal #4 [Match 12]

[@axeleffer266]

MY ODE TO GAME 5: Tis a story of ambition, of valor, of grit, Of a Conqueror and an Emperor, told bit by bit. A land of peace, of civilizations with dreams, 'bout to witness villagers' and fighting mens' screams. A Conqueror, his eye on the kingdom he hath not been given, An Emperor, his ambition on the cup that is hidden. Equal beginnings, the sheep, the boar, the trees, Only murmurs of future bloody engagements in the breeze. With the shrouds of darkness thrown hither with food, The villages now enter the age of feud. Lest feud too long and blind away siege, The villages fear the victory out of reach. The Conqueror's machines aiming stones at the start, Have the Emperor stood silent with his hand on his heart. Whilst the Conqueror streams horsemen, spearmen, machines, The Emperor is patient, and chalks an economic scheme. Conqueror goes too far, dreams of a forward beast in stone! His dreams are shattered, all remains is a castle of doubt alone. The Emperor smiles, he may not be that quick, but tis a game of patience, of position and wit. 'Not just you', the Conqueror bellows, 'My army is valiant, will push you to your hollows'. The raids of the Conqueror far and wide, Made the Emperor, in a barrel hide. 'Ahh this is beautiful, disgusting, unbelievable and brave', shout the overlords, voiced by T90 and Dave. The cannons, the spears, the javelins all violent, Slowly, but surely, it all starts getting silent. Where were castles reaching the skies galore, Now lies torn armor of the horsemen's valor. Forests abundant once upon the dark times, All bloodied sand now under the imperial war chimes. In his heart he knew, he had lost, his men outwitted, But he is the Conqueror, many more battlefields to be pitted. On his mighty horse, his throne, down his crown he laid, As he muttered the hallowed words - 'gg well played.'

"the cup that is hidden" love it!

[@Calmarius]

"Guy's if you're watching on youtube, show up on Sunday, the final day" I'm spending almost all my free time watching the uploads and only reached this video today.

[@robin9740]

I feel you man. Only I'm like 7 hours behind you

[@moldovanvlad6825]

same dude lol, and I'm 6 days late, I love these games, but 3, maybe 4 hours a day is enough for me

[@ChuckBassFGC]

I totally forgot about T90 because of my medical school exams and now that I’ve found hidden cup 3 I’ve been watching it 24/7😂

[@HarverTheSlayer]

The civ picks felt like that "Spiderman pointing at Spiderman" meme

[@kritic4622]

that spectate mode is insane (troops, upgrades, vils, everything). we need this ingame for replays!

[@timguerra1694]

It’s a separate program called Capture Age

[@st0ox]

Viper vs Viper confirmed. He just played both players at the same time.

[@raifthemad]

Impossible, Vipah never loses, it would have been a draw.

[@st0ox]

@@raifthemad or the game couldn't handle it and crashed

[@elfarcherdv]

2:32:45 ish? im lazy "Guy's if you're watching on youtube, show up on Sunday, the final day" Uhhh that was yesterday.

[@DBoycee91]

Just finished watching the vod for the finals on twitch because i couldn't watch it live, thanks to all those who were involved in this amazing event

[@AJKecsk]

What I've learned from the polls so far: everyone is Viper and DauT.

[@goodall18]

not even that, everyone is Daut according to the chat.

[@bastiananuss1727]

it is so awesome to have you two guys casting this together! you make it so interesting and fun with your own stories put in, Keep the great work up! :D

[@AJKecsk]

11:55 That cross-map wolf rush. Legendary.

[@JJJHendrixxx]

1:36:05 let's take a moment to appreciate the guy in chat who nailed all 3 guesses in the right order

[@Konstiin]

Man, I've been watching these all on YT, had to study over the weekend. Seeing game 2 end at 45 mins on a video with two hours left is so exciting ahaha!

[@blarch2]

Thanks T90. The tourney was great. You're the best at what you do, you deserve a week off. I'll be looking forward to Low-ELO Cup.

[@SirSpartAfterDark]

Man i love it when T90 and Dave fight like a married couple

[@ichigoblackTWD]

Broke my heart to see William lose like this. I wanted him to win. I knew who he was

[@gmenos6252]

Same I was supporting william from the beginning

[@ZergrushEddie]

“One click better than many clicks.” That guy was well prepared for DE’s change to attack priority

[@senpuu_]

I like how @1:39:56 a new meaning for the verb _castle_ was coined (of course here not the first time, but a meaning which is not yet in Oxford's dictionary)

[@elijahkleinhenz4246]

YO THAT FINAL GAME WAS CRAZY!!!!! EASILY THE BEST GAME SO FAR IN HIDDEN CUP 3

[@johanbee8757]

That final game, man i really thought he had it.

[@MrSuburbanable]

Offensive walls would have had a huge dividend in that play.

[@stewartread4235]

When viewers vote on who the players are, it seems Daut is top 3 for every player.

[@TeunisD]

Great the principle of "path dependancy" is mentioned (not directly this term, but conceptual). By referring to certain moments in time in the beginning of the game where the game "derailed" for one of the players. Like "it started with the denied forward barracks" and from there it spiraled downward. Or "it started with the lamed boar".

[@KidMangaX]

I knew it was over for WtC when his bombard cannons killed literally all of his own units (including a ton of Hussars) [Starts at 2:32:40 ] which allowed Emperor's units in to kill said canons. This was easily the single biggest throw of the game, and arguably one of the biggest in the entire cup. Yet, the commentators COMPLETELY MISSED IT. This is why you mix Heavy Scorpions and Trebs as Khmer instead of making BCs. Still, what an incredible back-and-forth! WtC held on much longer than I thought he would after that catastrophe, and the lead up to it was just incredible. WHAT A GAME!

[@accountaccount9174]

the only problem with that Heavy Scorp/Treb combo is it gets rolled by BC and its not micro/mobile. Scorps are not useful in late Pro games unfortunately.

[@accountaccount9174]

and its more expensive*

[@pboytrif1]

I love how Daut is 2nd most likely person for EVERY hidden cup competitor

[@spIette]

You guys make a good casting combo.

[@KipsPixels]

Watching the time remaining after watching game4. Holy cow.

[@gonzaloolivera1954]

I love how everytime Cup is being played in HC3, at some point T90 is just gonna click on the Salmon

[@shadowwarriorshockwave3281]

[@shadowwarriorshockwave3281]

I don’t know what this other link is I would advise you all to steer away

[@specialmentalproblem]

as i started watching and the first MBL confirmed was spoken, 1 minute later the fire alarm in the building started to go off, mind was decently entertained

[@LK.Cynric]

Just finished this one. Another great set!

[@GrandMoffOfMars]

I've never heard dave be so professional as in the beginning. it ended soon lmao

[@alexanderbeekhuizen8085]

elephant in the boom is even funnier because boom is the dutch word for tree

[@ninjaskull2705]

Dave's laugh though, sounds like the 11 taunt

[@ElijahKlar]

Game 5 was absolutely insane

[@HazmanFTW]

Dave just casting behind and T90 doesn't know, 11. Can we give Dave a game to cast but he isn't allowed to view the match, just has to go off what T90 says. 2:25:11 that in sync casting tho, top notch!

[@MrMateuspzt]

Dogao such a beast!

[@st0ox]

Doing the cut on hideout is so risky, it's like opening a fucking star gate.

[@LittleBigPeach]

"Noooo! You can't just spam Hussars into my Halbediers, you should diversify with skirms. You're wasting food!" "Haha, khemer farms go BRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrtttt!"

[@davidgustavsson4000]

I thought I knew who won (as in I thought I'd seen a later game with one of these players), but I had it wrong. It was a nervous and confusing last couple of minutes there.

[@felipeberlinck8541]

Congrats dogao!! You played really well!!

[@franciscofernandez8183]

don't spoil dude!

[@beaky8138]

Sick games, sick casting!

thank u tritan, beter than last, more focused and ready for the game! (s key broken)

[@markdowse3572]

I would LOVE to be able to play this game.....

[@braderson9308]

Can anyone link me the video with the shot of Viper losing the 40 long bows?

how did emperor come back in that last game... man those were some insane matches

[@micahmcclure5310]

I watched the first three days live on stream but was unable to watch the last day. Really sucks I have to wait for the results to be added one set one day at a time. Also means I can't watch the stream or other YT videos in order to avoid spoilers.

[@lautarodapin]

2:16:12 did someone notice the T90 farms of the conqueror?

[@ew6546]

Game 5 is legendary.

[@DI-ee5cn]

Deserved winner!

[@PacificNatureTV]

Need to say that DAVE is great, love hearing him on the stream!! Even though I couldnt watch live, these MATCH videos are awesome with great co-casters!

[@VibingoutwithRene]

wow, crazy good games

[@milanowns]

this was a great match!

[@Thundermikeee]

Total apm is probably in the mid 200's... now i remember that one SC2 match where a pro promised a streamer to spam as much useless apm as possible, he won the match with an average raw apm of over 600, which is insane... but that game is faster and way more micro intensive than AOE ever was

[@OccasionalHaHa]

What speed do the players play at? The time in the game ticks by the seconds VERY fast, but the game LOOKS normal speed?

[@LucasRezendeBarros]

Where is the rest of the game that had a drop? Good work @t90Oficial! Dogao Brasil is proud of you!!

[@Benpurple4]

That last game is killing me.

[@Rcoutme]

In game 4 it might have been nice if the casters would have allowed us to see the end of at least a few of the skirmishes!

[@steins2036]

Can someone link the video of 40 longbows going down by onager shot?

[@ujan754]

Search viper vs mbl masters of arena. Britons vs Celts

[@steins2036]

@fullmetaljaco damn that was painful thanks alot

[@John_Smith_86]

William as MBL, Emperor as dogao

[@keterclass3541]

[@ChuckBassFGC]

I still don’t get why William didn’t wall the left side, it would’ve prevented so many unnecessary raids.

That Dave guy is probably the best cocaster T90 could ask for, they are like tasteless and artosis except they are still less mature and less funny but it will get better as the chemistry is there and it is the hardest thing to get.

[@Dromende]

How could William / blue lose the last 2 matches?!

[@valueofnothing2487]

He's right. It was MBL. One of the best games of Hidden Cup 3.

[@TeunisD]

And T90 please stop suggesting people are smurf accounts of Viper e.g. because it really takes away from their identity and performance.

[@ohlookanotheraccount]

FAEN HELVETE

[@daarom3472]

Rewatching this today. MBL pretty much lost the last match because he killed like 100 of his own units with BBC after the opening of the middle gap. If he had just kept a shield and shot down the castle it'd be gg.

[@robertzanardelli7240]

He killed roughly 30-40 of his own, spread out throughout an hour and a half; nothing game ending. Just keep track of his kills against Dogao's deaths.

[@daarom3472]

@@robertzanardelli7240 it wasn't spread around though, it was a crucial part of the game where if he takes out that castle he wins the game as he would've taken like 30 farms and opened him to constant raiding.

[@Jokseej]
