Blue curtain Hera that got tilted every 5 games will never be forgotten

[@HeraAgeofEmpires2]

its that competitive spirit that got me here :D

[@manen.1350]

​@@HeraAgeofEmpires2 agreed! you're the man

[@daveb9819]

“‘cause you’re hitting the frickin’ eagle, like a dumbass!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@malcolmclancytv2262]

16:50 "I didn't even realize he killed all my vils"...too relatable XD

[@tiestofalljays]

Yessss, these kinds of "looking back" kinds of videos are always so neat. Let's get some hypes in the chat for that guys

[@MaksymCzech]

Farm reseeding in the mill 😭😭😭

[@bobhoya801]

Modern, professional hera makes old hera look like such a bro lol. Big fan of both!

[@mubashirulmoula1798]

4:45 - Hera : Back then, the game was not figured out. Back then, the game was 20 years old. And yet, not figured out! Are you sure it is figured out today?

[@SeaPhoenix01]

At least a little more

[@aa01blue38]

I mean kinda like chess, between 2000 years old and like 2040 years old there's a big difference

[@chuy27arts]

​@@aa01blue38 you mean elo?

[@The_Lag_Monster]

I'd say that 2700+ elo he keeps means he has figured out something lol 😂.

[@ObiwanNekody]

​@@aa01blue38Chess isn't that old. It is about 1500 years old. The Queen didn't move like she does today until about 500 years ago, and the Pawn moveset wasn't complete until well after that.

[@twinsenjo8345]

Past Hera: Who are you? Present Hera: I'm you but stronger

[@dollafn]

"he's looking like he hasnt eated in 3 days" 😭

[@joshmcdonald7472]

3 months*

[@shubhampawar3833]

Ahh yes, 'eated', the long lost brother of 'eaten'

[@aasfasfgd]

a man who hasn't been changed by money or fame

[@carlosjavierpalacios6793]

Bro was busting out that 200 apm in dark age 🤣

[@mrskinny8555]

Nothings changed 😂

[@luuk790]

You reacting to your old self and feeling so cringe is the funniest thing I've seen on your channel 😂 Love it

[@vasilvasilev6198]

curtain is back 1111

[@Maronijogurt]

your gameplay definitely evolved, but the real reason for your rise is your state of mind. you matured a lot and became an athlete, big respect!

[@MultiDelta65]

I do remember watching this live. Time flies by.

[@Nomatterwhat69]

For the 12h stream, you should have a donation goal for bringing back a blue curtain

[@dimrom]

I love how he is still as respectful as always towards the opponents

[@ponchopalmera4917]

8:04 "THAT'S what's cringe" LOL 😂

[@RealSoloWing]

The “high voice pitch” is a common thing on streamers who are actively daily for long periods of time… over the years they develop a deep voice

[@claytonknowles25]

I really liked this video, and I think it was an awesome idea to go back and see what old Hera was playing like. It gives perspective to how you’ve changed as a player, and like you said, the commentary actually wasn’t bad at all. I’m not sure how popular this video or more of this video would/will be, but I enjoyed it a lot nonetheless 😁

[@m1st87]

Honestly the high level commentary is why I started watching your channel in the first place. Then I stayed for the awesome community ❤

[@lucaa.9709]

25:52 lmfaooo "cuz ur hitting the frekin eagle like a dumbaz"

[@ObiwanNekody]

This video was great. I would love a historian Hera series. It would be pretty great to also review some older games from other players (with their permission) or have a community series of this. I really feel that the AoE2 we see now is the highest level it has ever been, and it is nice to see this belief examined.

[@NolifeAddicted]

HYPE IN THE CHAT BOYZZZZZZZ !

[@MrCabbidge]

Nothing's changed lol

[@MaksymCzech]

- How could I not deny that TC? - Because you were hitting the eagle, like a dumbass 😂

[@cham9rs189]

Hands up who's gonna be here in 4 years for the Reaction of the Reaction video!

[@thewingedhussar870]

It’s awesome seeing how far you have come. Congrats!

[@ancastle]

Please keep making these, as a new player, knowing those litte details mean so much!!

[@LunaLenny270]

Totally relatable video ! Cool to see how you worked out game play as you climbed the ladder.

[@mightybeko]

5 years ago, not 4 😢😢 time flies

[@chrisc575]

This was great. I'd be really interested to see more stuff like this, especially if you still have stuff from like, early DE tournament games like HC3 or something.

[@stain2901]

No need to cringe! We are who we are and thats fine!

[@daynedehaven3527]

I loved this video! I do the same trash talk about my past self when I revisit work I’ve done in the past and see how dumb I used to be. Looking forward to seeing where you are 4 years from now! Congrats on all of your success!

[@DukePegasus]

great stuff as usual Hera, nice to see how much youve grown over the time

[@0344478]

Very enjoyable watch! Thanks for the blast from da past. 👍

[@Lampredi4]

Man, this takes me back. Cumans domination on ladder, Hera streaming to 200 people because this was before NAC3, the curtains, the WASD click sounds…. Good to know some stuff never changes like the pathfinding, which is still as broken as it was at launch

[@jacobwood3326]

5:04 “there’s an argument to be made for not…”. “No. There’s not.” 11 Also this was honestly one of my favorite videos on the channel over the last month.

[@frameshift_mutation]

Wow that ended up being a great game and also well played from you!

[@Wassim-wr8jq]

Omg that's why i was getting deja-vu. Not too long ago i was looking for "all-in fudel" games from you or viper because i thought it'd be cool to watch and i have watched this same exact video :D happy to see it again.

[@johannesduckeck3780]

This is fantastic! I got into your videos like a month ago, and your gameplay is so smooth. I would lose my mind if I watched someone play like this with keyboard sounds and how you were moving the camera. Excellent commentary video. What I want to see now is a rematch haha. Same players, same map, same civs. What would happen?

[@franok9733]

More of this, please! I like your analysis about how to improve and how you have improved your own game. You would be analyzing mistakes that probably everyone makes

[@jerer6885]

i remember watching you in the beginning of de and thinking that everybody else messes around while you grind like crazy on stream. i am convinced that this period helped you immense to catch up. now that you have focused more on the entertainment side of things as you deserve to keep the fun the gap is closing a bit.

[@Dsnake5]

Very good idea to review old games and analyze! Keep them up! :)

[@Incommensurabilities]

Can't wait for you to review this review video in another 5 years' time :D

[@ricardocunha5590]

I do remember this old Hera: more risky approach, relying on superb speed and amazing micro but definitely the present Hera are much more reliable and smart playing (strategy and decision making). This playstyle made you wonder games but the new mentality and knowledge of the game made you won tourneys. Very fun to watch 🙌

[@pra87ss]

Hera...you have come a long way both as a player and as a person...Happy to witness this journey as a follower... Allaha bless you!!

[@austin33785]

Only Jesus Christ can save you.

[@karnazacss]

You need courage to do this Hera, respect.

[@123moneymonster]

i think it was sweet how you truly wanted your past self to win. this video showed your strong fighting spirit.

[@dfhy65]

8:00 your reaction to your you 4yrs ago killed me

[@pbsoccer2]

4 years from now there will be another reaction video of Hera reacting to this video. 11 Edit: Hera-ception

[@grandengineernathan]

when 21 pop was considered a fast up time and farming was more efficient on one side of the tc

[@a13ph0]

wait, farm side-bias was fixed? I somehow missed that moment

[@grandengineernathan]

@@a13ph0 yep, about two years ago I think

[@proper_noun436]

man i wish these recs were still available. fun stuff

[@klip3278]

we hella enjoy this! thx

[@GoldenSkeeter]

Hey some of us just don't chat on twitch anymore. I've switched over to KZbin mainly

[@_jamessimmons]

This was great content. Its like reading an old Facebook post, the cringe was so much fun. The hypes were my favorite, bring it back haha

[@essd3202]

I sort of wish I could see your chat for videos like this!

[@DarkMSG]

there was no steppe lancers in mongols back then added later

[@tag180rotax]

Wild seeing the house foundation highlighted in the fog of war

[@ObiwanNekody]

Thank you for sharing 😊

[@richardferretti8208]

Love ya Hera, past and current

[@YK-ky2cs]

old hera looks like he hasnt eaten in three days cause todays hera is absouletly jacked

[@mytubechenzy]

really liked the vid , best parts is whenever you get mad on yourself :p

[@willcrow2846]

Great video

[@neokonline_]

13:33 Hera foreseeing future Hera

[@gabriepte]

Good video Hera, I think we should all leave you hype in the comments, the great analysis deserves it. Best regards.

[@Dawoud_Shirin]

Love the video idea!

[@LlywellynOBrien]

Do some more of these and get better at it, that way in four years you can come back and comment on your commentary. At that rate in eight years we can have a Hera in each corner flaming earlier Heras.

[@MrNatantantan]

this was a great video

[@steinanderson9849]

WAIT.... how are you all moving your camera? is it possible to bind pushing the middle mouse and mouse movement controls the screen? going to the edge of the camera with mouse feels so cumbersome but never considered there might be something better.

[@alexmeijs1]

Dude love this 😂

[@danielcoleman9765]

You can see so much excitement in young Hera! Was this when Hera just went full time streaming?

[@Francosantiago10]

And that's how the legend of "Feudal Voy" starts.

[@yamantarakji]

I too always have used WASD to move the camera WITHOUT losing the OG hotkeys by using AHK to make SHIFT+WASD be arrows

[@meninbike1602]

great content

[@Cblazer100]

Old Hera is like current MBL. Crazy aggressive and all in 😂

[@TheDanishTeens]

Would be interesting to hear how you went from this aggressive player to switch your playstyle and become more well-rounded, as someone that didn't get to watch the transformation.

[@pedrofelck]

Now I want to see a Hera vs Hera matchup

[@vishalsrivijayan5731]

Don't cringe at your humble beginnings mate, it reminds of how far you have come. Your commentary is also very good by casually making fun of your mistakes and giving credit to the opponent's play.

[@Wassim-wr8jq]

Sorry to break it to you but there's not much different between old and new you talking 😆

[@kuzya12]

🔥🔥🔥

[@yuuya5985]

i can hear this old hera raging when i see that blue curtain 11

[@arsenbabaev1022]

Hype in the chat guys

[@idohugs9061]

Love it! And seriously, I cringe so hard at myself, not even past me but even current vids of myself. Old Hera was so adorbs, love the ‘new me looks like I ate the old me’ comment 😂

[@nswordsn4249]

Feels like just yesterday Hera announced He'd go all in streaming AOE2DE full-time

[@alanarzh6356]

The road to hera da gama

[@wefinishthisnow3883]

What would you say was the biggest change you made that let you get ahead of Viper?

[@derPandre]

Watching this make me realise / feel that Hera got to the top because he stopped loosing against himself.

[@user-tu5gi9ox2m]

love to be old enough to perfectly remember that curtain!!

[@tiagorafaelduarte6642]

keep doing it

[@Lukas_luce]

Hera surprised how good this game was :D

[@TenkaEmpiresFFA]

I thought it was gonna be a reaction of one of your first Aoe2 games EVER lol, I clickbaited myself 11

[@kamratqp1823]

Still Good content 😄

[@HeraAgeofEmpires2]

i thought about doing that but i can only go back an extra year sadly, I cant go back 10 years, only 5 or so

[@joshmcdonald7472]

@@HeraAgeofEmpires2what would this Hera have for elo today?

[@LlywellynOBrien]

​@@joshmcdonald7472 that is a great question!

[@erikquittek2894]

we need a reaction video in 5 years about you talking about this video.

[@IorekMetal]

Best thing of old Hera will be always the curtains XD.

[@miguelbahamonde6321]

Is cool to see underdog Hera earn the respect of champion Hera

[@icarian553]

22:35 except Mongols didn't have step lancers at the launch of DE. Mongols got lancers like 6 months later or something.

[@Lampredi4]

Oh Steppe Lancers were all the more broken then. You didn’t use steppes in this game because Mongols got them later in 2020. At launch just Cumans and Tatars had them

[@YuraNebov]

Cool video, make more!

[@LuisM_Santana]

The face when the scout dies to TC fire... I was like "He's just like me for real"

[@100_JAB]

young Hera really did have good commentary, he was rightfully very excited about DE 11

[@Jel.Awesh.M]

Do you miss your room in Canada? I remember that curtain.

[@jean-philippecote2751]

14:07 Hera saying "we" just confused me 11
