I'm facing the RANK 89 EUROPE Mechabellum Player!

[@Butcher_Of_The_Sands]

grubby i really like you man. im a toxic ass player, used to be addicted to LoL, and your nice, lighthearted approach to everything is really refreshing

[@GrubbyPlays]

Cheers, thank you

[@ninja55111]

not a guy that talks too much, but thanks for your awesome content grubby, been trying to improve in games with advice from your grubbytalks channel and always a blast to watch some games be it mechabellum or warcraft or anything else for the matter. Thanks man.

[@GrubbyPlays]

Cheers mate. Glad to have you

[@-nav-398]

I've been enthralled by your Mechabellum videos lately and I always look forward to your next upload!

[@victornguyen1175]

Ever since you stopped playing DotA, we haven't had to deal with an endless stream of vitriol anymore. Not from you, and the game was actually fascinating as well, but the crowd it attracts is abysmal. It's nice again. I do miss the HotS uploads, sometimes, but I love seeing you play all these new games lately.

[@GrubbyPlays]

I know right.. such a shame! Just act better and have fun in DOTA2! We could all be happy if ppl didnt have such bad mindset!

[@user-c4b9b]

Grubby you rock man, your channel has become my haven. Your smart and level headed commentary is awesome, the positivity is also very refreshing. I don't even play ANY of the games on your channel but I still enjoy watching. Cheers!

[@todalio9238]

I'm at like 200 MMR and I'm happy. The influx of new players means I'm sometime pitted against someone who has studied the game, made strategies, before even their first game, while I just like to have fun. Still win around 30-35%. Happy with it.

[@GrubbyPlays]

Living the good gaming life

[@todalio9238]

​@@GrubbyPlays Love ya Grubby! Your WC 3 content has been amazing. Just got from 280 to 350. so happy

[@tranquilclaws8470]

Two things I think could have used improvement in the first game: First, you could have spaced units out more and prevented aoe attacks from being so effective against your forces. Second, placing marksman in the center rather than doubling down on one side means you have to protect it later from chaff attacks, while placing it near one of your towers gives you more tempo on one side and protects it better.

[@Element_Doom]

Really well played 👏 The Tyler1 of strategy games 😆

[@mathiasH9108]

Thanks Grubby.. I just had a 10 hour binge of Mechabellum thanks to you xD Amazing game! Should've bought earlier!

[@GrubbyPlays]

Yep, so good!

[@Pshyc]

Wow... That first match was crazy man! Well done.

[@florianvanloo4109]

High mmr player here. 7:45 you should have enhanced the middle Marksman and sold it then put them on the tarantulas slowly selling them too. The 13:00 Oil was a complete waste. You killed 2 packs of chaff which were not doing much and would have run into your units anyway. Better to Oil the left side to slow down the balls. You got the easy win cos of the mass scorp and fire badger cards which countered hiim hard but Jimmy was too short sighted and didn't deviate from the standard ball push when you got them. You did play well though and deserved the win, just adding a bit more commentary.

[@pineappleshoe]

So I've been binge watching your vids, super enjoying it. Thinking of getting this game at the end of the month when I get paid. So if you can release your beginner tips video by then that would be great

[@GrubbyPlays]

OK I will try lol

[@walterlotte4215]

Really been enjoying this content, and found this game through you. Thanks for that, having a blast! Just one quick thought - in other games you always got coaching from high level players, which also made for very interesting and educational content. Is this a thought here, too, maybe? I think somebody like RoosterPB would make for a great collab.

[@Nightknight1992]

in beta i was first place mmr for quite some time, but i basicially only played 2v2 with a friend and the weekend tournaments^^ low amount of games played with an extremely high wr had my starting mmr insanely high^^ cool to see such chill games again, in beta it was basicially one trick strats getting popular and everybody mindlessly copying, extremely annoying to counter but if you could see it coming from starting units free wins. now it feels fresh again, a lot of new eyes on it and people really playing the game

[@Nightknight1992]

one tiny tip: pay bigger attention to what cards the opponent could use. sometimes you have to gamble that they dont see something, but if that first guy hits a perfect fire or the second guy the wasps you might die in a heavily lost round in an otherwise even or favored game.

[@turnerwoodward6907]

Grubby you cured my depression

[@HolgFromHell]

Steelballs are the natural enemies for Tarantulas; with Range tech they would have melted them (and for the lvl2 one you could also buy one ball with lvl2); anyway, interesting match, fun to watch!

[@CautionCU]

Callers are really hard to counter if used judiciously. The EMP upgrade demolishes a lot of strategies.

[@matthewgoodwin7949]

“More stormcallers” Seems like the solution for a lot of board states unfortunately, you don’t even have to level them. It takes so much more investment to try and slow them down, let alone stop them, than the storms cost on their own

[@neivesten]

Woah, never been so early ! Let the booms begin!

[@jgcobb79]

The range on those Sledges was nuts

[@game_jinx]

thanks grubby and community. enjoy🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Snowspots]

"why would spiders beat balls." I mean have you seen the massive construciton projects orb weavers do over the amazon river?

[@iamsnakehips]

Big win 🥇

[@YamiAi]

Well played.

[@Cpt.Midnight88]

gg sick game

[@Joshwaheazo]

I've never played this game, but when you spamed units you lost as soon as you spammed upgrades you won.

[@marinauder]

15:39 me cameo haha

[@LiveGoDaYDaYs]

tank range so good man

[@sadasdafa]

taterenatula: super heavy tank, 300 gold for 33k hp at lv2, chaff clear, tank killer, heavy tank killer, sabertooth killer, worm killer totally balanced

[@will7409]

Marxmen good against tarantulas too

[@EIixir]

Nice firewall.

[@game_jinx]

the jeeb❤

[@ahmed-the-great]

Stopped playing until they fix the Tarantula. It's ridiculous, you either get it or counter with storms, otherwise you lose.

[@stefenlunn113]

Marksman, melting point, phoenix, fortress... steel balls work too it's just that he started with a rank 2 and Grubby never pays for ranked up units. He had two rank 1 units against two rank 1 and a rank 2. One rank 2 unit has double the stats and makes a huge difference. Scorpions are probably the easiest to counter with. Tarantulas are actually kind of mid but they are versatile and tank a lot of hits which makes them a useful center piece for the army. If the only way you can figure out how to punch through the enemy's wall is stormcallers then you need to change your tactics and formations. I highly recommend scorpions as an alternative to stormcallers because I think spider tanks are much much cooler.

[@mr.e432]

Still never played this game or caught a stream yet 😂 Obligatory "1st"

[@iCdizzily]

holy shit its karl marxman

[@kacpadestro8086]

Tarantulas are broken imo every time i get them as start units i take them

[@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin]

What a slugfest!

[@SteveB-nx2uo]

if incendiary bomb isnt a good option, why not skip and go into double shield?

[@bg3841]

Thought same. Probably smarter play given how he was clumping his army. A missile card would have been really problematic for him. Even the sentries were getting loads of value early on.

[@andrewdelaerranz9648]

The second guy just had to put shield on fangs and antiground wasps and you were toasted, he played horribly those 3 last rounds.

[@HolgFromHell]

hehe, yeah, I also wondered about range on fangs; either go for shields on fangs, or you need another type of unit with shields which protect the fangs...

[@TubetakerBHV]

Im so bad at this game that I cant get over 600 MMR constantly. But Im still having fun. Isnt that ridiculous?

[@Smelly13]

Mechabellum needs to be available on Nvidia GeforceNow so I can play in on my trash computer 😢 been enjoying your videos

[@tysonatkins2468]

Name of this game?

[@yorahim]

well played but currently the game punishes agression and always standard/defense is kinda meh

[@strateeg32]

tarantuala are too strong now

[@zloy-ivan]

Tarantula>tank's

[@jakelionlight3936]

not 1st

[@thonyx203]

What do you mean by Europe? 501 is not Europe. 501 is all English people, so many from US also. 301 is mostly german, 401 russian, 101 has also 70% europeans. Really confusing click bait title. Still cool man :) great games. You are always fun to watch!
