Polytopia 3v3 - Chop for Giant to Win

[@gegok42]

I haven't seen that knight chain coming, holy hell! Thanks for casting, that was very entertaining =)

[@polychampions]

Right? Great knight chain. Glad you enjoyed the cast of the game

[@JusteeniLingueeni]

Very fun and fast paced 3v3. Nice to see a lot of unique tribe choices as well.

[@polychampions]

Yup. Great game

[@sumguy8939]

Honestly I still prefer having either someone interviewing a player of one of the teams or banter between two hosts since the question and answer/discussion type format is more interesting to watch. But you did a decent job solo casting. As a solo caster, I think you should put more of your own opinion on what a team should have done in their position since you are one of the best players on the league.

[@sumguy8939]

Preemptive 🤓

[@ajlagares]

Agreed

[@mindfaze-clashmini6950]

While obviously those videos are higher quality, they demand a lot more time to make than videos like these. It's just a quick shoutcast, not a deep analysis. Formatting videos like this allows a lot more to be published, especially if we want to ramp up coverage of league games in the future. Also, in my setup i have shit audio so its near impossible for me to do an interview like that. and no one else in the game is really interested in the youtube i think.

[@polychampions]

Thanks for the feedback. Having someone interview and include banter is more time consuming. This was easier to produce. The biggest limitation for this channel is finding the time to edit/record. We will do a mix of content going forward

[@minhkhanhvu5180]

really enjoying these 2v2 and 3v3 coverages!

[@polychampions]

Thanks. It's good to hear you enjoyed this format

[@mindfaze-clashmini6950]

Thanks for the cast Ferrikster! This game was a lot of fun to play, even though we slipped up a couple times. No idea why i missed the lv3, thats sloppy from me. The capture before taking forestry at 5:48 was a misclick from Krack, we obviously didnt intend to do it like that. Side note, i do *not* like being called mindy. If you wanna be friends, you're better off just using mindfaze or mfz. Don't be like Ferrikster, he sets a bad example.

[@polychampions]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Did you know there is a Belgian superhero called MegaMindy? Look it up, it's great

[@xecten9445]

What is a good nickname for ferrikster?

[@polychampions]

@@xecten9445 We should ask Mindfaze to come up with something ;)

Hey petey do stuff for me

[@justapeasant8638]

Lightning guys had geographical advantage at the start. This allowed them to overhwelm Luxidoor and do knight chain. But they still did a very good job especially with giant trolling.

[@polychampions]

Yup. Fun game

[@spicyonion736]

Awesome strategy at the end

[@polychampions]

Yup. Some good strategies

[@johngreen2468]

I was expecting Bardur to die early vs hood+yaddak just like luxidor died vs veng+quetz 1vs2; so very surprised Bardur survived this long and came with the winning Knight chain; maybe it was strategic mistake by yaddak not to gang on bardur with hood; also it looked like quetz had the best map pos, biggest area to expand to and he used it well to end up strongest tribe so even without knight chain quetz team would likely win even if bardur was more/totally dead - because yaddak couldnt outexpand quetz toward south-west direction

[@polychampions]

Yeah. That knight chain was impressive

[@МаксатРсымбетов-з9о]

Luxidoor wasn't the lucky one, especially with the spawn(

[@polychampions]

Yup. Bad spawns are a thing in Polytopia

[@perryekwueme996]

WE NEED A POST GAME ANALYSIS Bardur managing to stay alive despite the hoodrick pressure. Quetzali being the mvp of the match (in my opinion) What the losing team could have done better.

[@polychampions]

Haha. This video is the post game analysis :)

[@janhorster6551]

I assume the Vikings were out of bonuses, cause I sure would have bonused if I saw two Vengir swordsmen next to my only village...

[@mindfaze-clashmini6950]

they were

[@polychampions]

Yup

[@Gerrieberrie76]

What is a bonus?

[@samdewilde343]

@@Gerrieberrie76 to try and balance the spawns a little bit. Each side can request one restart (bonus) before the end of turn 3. Here Vikings already used up their restart and couldn't restart this one.

[@Babajan-MadBazz]

I like this kind of video

Cool. We will try to do more of it

The team with the big long knight chain

[@klibe]

im pretty new to the comp side of polytopia, can you explain what exactly is macro-ing? other then that very insightfull commentary, love it!

[@polychampions]

Macro refers to economy, growing cities getting tech, and the big picture Micro means detailed battle plans, which unit to attack with first, where to bounce your rider to, etc

[@klibe]

@@polychampions interesting, thanks for explaining!

[@eltonwild5648]

Prerequisites to do a team game like this?

[@polychampions]

You just need to join a Polychampions league team. JOIN THE DISCORD: discord.com/invite/FHzTMgQ3Cw

[@Fenrir-sd2tf]

I really don't understand how teams work... Does the game finish when the other tribes resign? How do you build the team? What if the other players do not resign/do you have to kill your own teammates to win?

[@polychampions]

PolyChampions is a competitive league with ten teams. Players from each team form up and play. Once all the players on one side are defeated, it is considered victory. Sometimes players from the same team battle it out until the end for the in-game elo, but most of the time, players just resign and move on to the next team game Join our Discord to get on a team discord.gg/FHzTMgQ3Cw

@@polychampions thank you!!

[@perryekwueme996]

My do I feel like 😢 wouldn’t like being called Mindi😂

[@polychampions]

Mindfaze is a good sport

[@hizio880]

Why isnt there like a twitch channel who streams it live

[@janhorster6551]

This game probably took weeks or months to play, a single turn sometimes takes half a day cause you usually wait for all three players to comment on the plans, but there could be live 3v3s too, it's just difficult to plan in live games

[@mindfaze-clashmini6950]

League games take place on 24hr settings and are played across multiple months. Not really doable to feature that live.

[@polychampions]

There are a couple twitch streamers for Polytopia. I recommend Arvis. He is a pro PolyChamps player. twitch.tv/arvis03

[@spmighty]

Is it better to play PC?

[@polychampions]

PC as in Steam on the computer or PC as in PolyChamps? Mobile is preferred over Steam because you can play on the go. It only takes a few minutes to do a turn PolyChamps is obviously the best league to play and improve at Polytopia :P

Ferrikster is pretty great

[@eltonwild5648]

I like this host. Nice narration skills. Just don't say base, say village instead 😂 joking

[@polychampions]

Yeah. I also think its strange the Ferrikster calls the cities "bases." Everyone else call them villages and cities.

[@terrastars4571]

Seriously? You all guys calling the fishing tech sailing? You must be so old

[@polychampions]

Check the version of the game. The tech tree changes from time to time

[@Johnny_L1]

Why are people still playing objectively worse tribes, like hoodrick or quetzali for example? And why is no one playing cymanti when they are so strong right now?

[@xSpizon_]

either this specific tourney doesn't allow special tribes and you can only pick one tribe other than picking 2 same tribes, or they just willingly played them.

[@redish2098]

season games have point limits so you cant all choose best tribe

[@Johnny_L1]

@@redish2098 Okay, thank you for explaining

[@sumguy8939]

@@Johnny_L1 There is a tier list system. Each tier is ascribed a certain amount of points and there is a limit to how many points a team can use in a game. This looks like a low point game, aka: bad tribes.

[@cutezebrablush5699]

Also if i might add quetzali is a very good tribe on drylands 2v2 and 3v3
