[@mamotalemankoe3775]

This was SOOOO dominant. It made it look like there was nothing he could do. Skilled commentator and player. Great stuff Liam.

[@S1rL1am]

Thanks man, i played well this tournament despite a few mistakes. Wish i recorded the Xca series

@@S1rL1am Hope you remember to record the other games. Always a treat to see you play against other top tier pros.

Dominant performance! Loved how you explained your decision between the shade drop and beam!

[@S1rL1am]

I try 🤪

[@SixtenD]

Clean af. I love it when people push those filthy elites hard on tech 1. The amount of times I've seen Aatrox go early 2nd gen with Ship/Arby and get away with it is too high! Punish that shit!

[@S1rL1am]

Yeah aatrox is greedy AF!

[@Psyalac]

Would love a walkthrough on how to properly use mouse and keyboard and your keybinds. I'm sure there's many tips you've learned that could drastically help improve viewers performance in the game.

[@S1rL1am]

If you check the HW2 guide in the link my keybinds are in there. I don't think there's specific MKB tips compares to controller accept it can be more responsible and better for abusing animation cancelling etc

[@Psyalac]

@@S1rL1am I'll check it out. Thank you!

Didn't know shipmaster had cluk. Don't even know what that is! Lol Solid video man

Hey how come you never went full pop? I like playing yap yap and the first time I encountered one I was just swarmed by cannon fodders and have been doing the same ever since. It helps trap units in the sea of fodder such as forges hog. I get that it’s not good to vet up units but is there any other reason you didn’t mass produce fodders as you never touched full pop this game? I thought full pop sea of fodders was one of yap yap niche tricks

[@S1rL1am]

If i have full pop fodder how am i meant to kill anything? Need to leave some room or sacrifice some fodder to transition into units that actually do something later in the game

[@TheNepaliwarrior]

@@S1rL1am good point, my thought was fodders die left right centre so they feel more like inflation on pop as I let them die scouting bases etc. Great game overall loved your tip about the exp when taking shade turrets

[@jontobin5942]

Played against you about a week ago. Got absolutely steamrolled lol. Nice micro.

[@S1rL1am]

Haha Sorry

[@benjaminmatthews4145]

Brilliant content as always Liam. 1v1 again soon? I'll go yap 😅

[@gambitcow]

Any tips on how to play colony in the late game for some reason when I go counter ball into wraiths the enemy masses either vehicles or air or pushes my base and I’m to slow to recover idk if it’s due to my overall halo wars 2 skill but ever since I got into the onyx rank the late game is super difficult for me for some reason even though colony should excel in the late game. Early game I followed your colony hero opener and I feel like it works really well but for some reason tech 2 and tech 3 I just get outplayed I guess idk any tips at all will be helpful

[@S1rL1am]

Lots of skitterers and upgrades put them on Dev host. Taunt well with HC and play defensive wait for them to push. Wipe them and counter.

[@gambitcow]

@@S1rL1am thx 🙏🏾

[@alexreyes7237]

You shouldn’t be going hero opener in teams that slows you down more than anything

[@gambitcow]

@@alexreyes7237 it’s solo

[@mobius1504]

so how should the shipmaster have countered the early game? Build ghosts?

[@S1rL1am]

Just a really good map for YapYap. Very early honor guard would be good before chopper numbers get scary

@@diverlife2668 you want like 2 flamers hold ground on your gen to avoid damage to it. Then run the map as normal hero + units. If he builds nothing decent go to his main and kill hik
