MbL vs TheMax (Hidden Cup 5 Qualifier)

[@advicepirate8673]

Dash is a fantastic co-caster

[@fernando2283]

He really is, has really nice insights.

[@FacialVomitTurtleFights]

He is pretty hilarious haha

[@moz7491]

Like it when Dave co-casts, too

[@troynutter984]

Agreed, Dash added some great commentary to these games!

[@m00se472]

Ive been playing and watching League for like 13 years and recently got back into AOE for the first time since i was a kid. Much to my surprise and delight Dash also casts AOE haha, glad to see hes a respected caster in this scene too

[@alexblankenship5630]

DASH was a great co-caster. You two mesh well, are able to bounce good QA off each other, and you’re both funny.

[@outwithayang7153]

GG. Been super nostalgic lately so it was great seeing 2 legends of old playing against each other again.

[@beetoven8193]

"Unintended bulge." LOL

[@FiscaalAftrekbaar]

Such a shame that these meet each other here already

[@apeters8]

I love the max! Wish this series had gone a little more evenly, but it was fun. Thanks.

[@Adam-oh1ds]

Awesome casting by dash and T90. Great synergy and energy

[@Nabium]

The amount of people in chat who wanted a Persian douche. Don't they get it? Your TC aint stronger if the opponent also go Persians, MbL with a huge strategic solution there managing to predict when Max would go Persian.

[@andrewomalley2688]

Dash casting some hidden cup games? Yes please! Thanks T90, and thanks Dash! Wow what a series. Thats its, cancel the tourney, we saw some peak MBL play already.

[@domhuckle]

Looking forward to Dash and Dave main event co-casters Props to MBL - absolutely juggernauted that series, very impressive

[@aliceindotaland9026]

classic mbl just overwhelming his opponent in castle age with numbers and insane eco

[@battleforevermore]

I didnt know max was up 3-1 agasint viper. Wow

[@rooftopmentality1996]

I think I prefer t90 extras

[@Progeusz]

It's been the best channel ever since TTL. T90 Official doesn't stand a chance vs T90 Extras.

[@roastghost901]

I'm a fan of both these people and I hope the winner makes it to the main event. Great sloppy games.

[@mmeliheren]

shame that only one of them will be in the main event..

[@LimitBreakr424]

Ikr :(

[@brianphelps2415]

there's a loser brackett. we might still have both!

[@eric-q9b]

@@brianphelps2415 the loser bracket is only for the qualifying round in each bracket

[@flipslips2192]

@@brianphelps2415that doesn’t apply to this match. Only the final qualifier match per group. So the next game, MBL vs whoever will have a loser bracket

[@flipslips2192]

Sorry - not the next qualifier. The one following. MBL has 2 matches to go before qualifying for the Main event.

[@naqisyed]

Dash isn’t t grounded 😄 Good co-caster.

[@myne00]

Master Boar Lamer strikes again

[@DuncaR]

Another amazing series, so much chaos!

[@valueofnothing2487]

There's a million games where people try what MBL does and fails.

[@jigzo78]

Fantastic casting. Enjoyable entertaining and educational.

[@brendanhart517]

Wahooo dash casting

[@BlueShellshock]

49:52 D-D-DOUBLE KILL.

[@kingj282]

Expected result, but great game 3 from MBL. Total domination

[@SelaikaCatoblepas]

Loved Game 1, just crazy *g

[@SirQuantization]

I heard Dash's voice and I immediately knew I'd watch the entire video. Please have him in for more casts!

[@Twilightblade7]

Game 2 was such Civ diff, wow. Game was decided immediately with that kind of Civ matchup.

[@GoldenSkeeter]

Would like to hear from Riley Knight as well in a few matches.

[@KC-ye6yn]

Damn that static was rough.

[@BallisticAero]

It always amazes me watching the trogalodytes typing in the stream chat. They're all so brilliant and clearly the most intelligent players in the game, so good in fact that they're not allowed to play in these tournaments because they are so smart and good.

[@kostadinpantev]

The spears with the skewers.

[@flugaflaug1647]

WOW! Incredibly entertaining watching these two, never know whats coming. Embee is like a genius with upside-down syndrome. I love him so much.

[@GunsAndRoses871]

Spolier block!

[@thelostangel7649]

More Dash, Pog

[@jompolonkgf8882]

BIG

[@akwinter]

lets go MbL

[@Progeusz]

Wow, the games were so good. Every single one of them had good gameplay and exciting strats from both players. I'm very pleased with this set.

[@LimitBreakr424]

Haven't watched yet but sending my energy to MBL

[@blakdfje]

Lets goo , i really hope MBL will make it to the main event.

[@johnlee89]

Spoiler Alert! Game 1: TheMax tried to out-MBL MBL. MBL went mostly meta boom.

[@breg5993]

...are we going to get a lot of Persian wars on Cross? This is the second time I've seen it...

[@cankar6315]

Humiliation 😂

[@postblitz]

TheMax made LightCav and Pike and barely made a dent in Mbl's eco - kept insisting on them instead of going cav or literally anything else. Resorted to copying/responding/mirroring Mbl's units with huge delays. It was an inevitable result. Too much eco focus, too little military/spend and tactical acuity from TheMax.

[@GarfieldRex]

Spoilers? Not today

[@akaMaddy]

17:40 would be funny, but the vil just got shot by the mangos. There's a gap between the gold piles. Look at 17:28^^ Still pretty funny nonetheless. 😄

[@Confessor1917]

[@shivamsharma4943]

game 2 max had so much res

[@MacNewbieAoE2]

guys, help please could some one ELI5 and tell me how can I see these live? where is the schedules, and also does it help T90 the same look the videos live as it does looking the recap in YT?

[@dasdasdiamlasdasdsada9717]

[@edogelbard1901]

Gods of aoe, i salute you

[@pooman4185]

Can you beee any more MBL

[@roym2185]

Tbf that second game was just a civ win…

[@notsecure6855]

first lets go MbL

[@cambac-pro]

I can't believe TheMax won 3-0 with only indian civs, truly one of the maxest moments

Man why spoil it like that? Please put a spoiler comment before it, don't ruin the experience for others

Is this an elimination match or placement?

[@rooftopmentality1996]

I think this is elimination :(

[@conoromeara6108]

Elimination. Theres one more round before placement. Two round from now the loser (2nd place for open slots) will play the the loser in another bracket for the last open slot. Long story short Max is out for good.

[@krellin]

is this the same mbl that played starcraft?

[@johanneslinnemann6660]

Nope, he's Age of Empires only (afaik).

[@evilvitamin]

This was the closest 3-0 I’ve ever seen.

[@Progeusz]

There's been plenty of similar quality in the past but yeah, it was really good. Results aren't everything, the gameplay is what matters.

[@Aijia_Vance]

Love your content T. I feel like the " Viper Effect" is little overstated. It takes away from Viper's performance and seemingly ignores that viper has won 3/4 HC Finals. Anyway thats my two cents. Cant wit til the main event!

[@domhuckle]

That's how good the Viper is without the "Viper effect"

[@theterriblegamer1228]

Is The Viper not competing this year?

[@DaddyMouse]

He is, he got invited so he doesn't have to do the qualifiers

[@ShabbahCore]

He is, these are just the qualifiers, he's already in the main tournament, waiting for it to begin.

[@theterriblegamer1228]

@@DaddyMouseReally? But MBL has to qualify? Granted, I don't keep up with them all that often, but I would have expected MBL to get an invite to.

[@beetoven8193]

You guys keep saying that MbL doesn't practice, but before Xmas, I starting watching on Twitch, and he's been the ONLY player out of 5 pros that I've seen playing EVERY day.

[@JakobDrawitsch]

I think for pros there is a difference between playing and practicing

[@Progeusz]

spamming Arabia/Black Forest every day is very different from dedicated practice of tournament maps

[@beetoven8193]

@@Progeusz I wouldn't know. I avg between 500 and 600 1v1.

[@beetoven8193]

@@JakobDrawitsch I'd argue that playing IS practicing, but I guess it depends on how seriously you take 'merely' playing.

[@beetoven8193]

@@JakobDrawitsch Also, I guess there's some behind the scenes practice. I didn't think about that.

[@dimitrikemitsky]

I'll be honest, only seen the first game, but that was rough. Whoever takes the series, if either of them shows up with this level in the main event, they'll basically be fodder.
