Round 4 of the Risk Discord Tournament - FFA S2-2022

For today's episode I play round 4 for the Risk Discord FFA Tournament, Season 2, 2022.
Do I ever get lucky today. After failing a kill on the bot I am able to successfully hold a god-bonus of a 2 territory +5 and wait for my opponents to hit each other. Finishing the game with a sweep sequence for all three, scoring 20 points. I end this game at 69 points and in second place overall after round 4.
Looking really good to make the semis again and here's hoping we take it all down.
As always I am in it to win it. This is a low-odds proposition and I know I will need to get lucky and play my best to advance in this tournament. I hope that you guys wish me lots of luck on the journey.
I share some strategic thoughts for the game of Risk: Global Domination.

Fog of war games are so intence. Great to watch. Love how patient you are in a lot of games.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

It's funny you say I have nothing compared to some top Risk players patience wise

[@TheJohnny007]

Pete clearly missing the kill on the Bot as he did the math on how to get to 69; nice

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Lol exactly... Totally meant for that to happen

[@xer0kee]

Was very unlucky this game, close to killing Pink. If he didn't had that 1 troop behind Black, I would have won probably. Then there was also you screwing up the kill on bot, which I was hoping to get, but sadly Black noticed and knew the last position, so it didn't work out. But hey, games like this always depend on luck territory wise and cards. Best of luck in rest of the Rounds Pete, I'm sure you'll get to Semi Finals again, if not Finals as well, just like Cowboy lol

[@xer0kee]

@@abombs_yt6120 lol you're funny

[@tuborg38]

Me and you were the ones who had intel/vision on each other 🙂 so in our case it was kill, or be killed. Good luck in the next season Xerokee, i hope to go up against you in a final one day ❤️☺️👍

[@xer0kee]

@@tuborg38 lol yea, we'll see if we will meet again

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Man I got so lucky that game eh As I always say better lucky than good. I usually get a lot of of playing with you and this day was no exception. Looking forward to competing with you next season and many more to come. GG Xero!

[@commanderguy-rw7tj]

30:38 this game is gonna take a LOONG time 42:48 Victory! Pete

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

🤣

[@noloflowsyo9190]

What a round! Would've been cool if you baited Amplitude into trying to kill the bot cuz it seemed you both had a kill guard on the bot. However, your ability to stay focused as well as grounded and come back to sweep the remaining players was extremely impressive. Good luck in the next round!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Everyone makes mistakes. I'm trying to work on my tilt so that it hangs around for the minimum amount of time necessary. I had to get a bit lucky and be able to execute on that luck effectively but I definitely can't complain about the outcome

[@MJ-ns9om]

Masterclass of a game. Love the fog games, super intense

[@Hufdud]

Finally a tournament zombie game where you aren't stuck in first position after the zombies!

[@loerber]

I've been enjoying this series and been looking forward to this next video!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Fantastic. So glad you're enjoying the show!

[@satario1623]

This video was amazing to watch, the dedication was sick

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Cheers man! I'm in it to win it

[@douglashatch5020]

Nerves of steel! Plenty of tense moments in that game! Well done! Awsome win!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Thank you. I'm glad I kept it together. After losing my cool in the gm tournament and getting eliminated I definitely didn't want the same thing happening again.

[@RychNovsky-ld3hf]

Pete: Has a guaranteed kill guard on the bot. Also Pete: Fails the kill on the bot

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

👍

[@heyguysitsmallorie]

Wow! Was on the edge of my seat the whole time! What an exciting finish.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Thanks! Definitely the kind of sweep you wanna see at the end!

[@David-hw4ts]

Nobody is better at prog than our boy pete! Well played, good luck for round 5!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Thank you David. I yams what I yams. Hoping for more good luck.

[@thebenster7624]

Pete really has that godly RNG when he needs it the most lmao, good game! been watching since the first season tournament in the winter you did very well and I'm hoping you will get the dub this time as I'm still watching through the rounds (I can probably infer what happened at the end ;)) but seriously I really enjoy watching your videos and hope to see greater things from you! 🙏

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I am a very luck man indeed!

[@aneurysm2479]

Even my heart was racing watching that. What a great win Pete, congratulations. GG's

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Cheers Bro. Mine would have been too if that wasn't the thing that knocked me out of the gm tournament so I chilled myself right out.

[@TheCBgamer1414]

Well played pete! Looking forward to r5 against ya!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

You as well man. It's gonna be an epic battle in our home and native land.

[@lonesenpai3390]

Good job Pete, I knew from your start that you would do well and I also knew that you would screw up the bot kill. I have been in that position too many times to count, so about 7 which i cant count to on account of my brain no worky. I was hoping for a big brain play where you lured another player into eliminating the hidden position that they were protecting while not actually hitting the bot that hard. You would have lost a stack when it set in but you would be the only one who knew about it for at least a turn.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Only small brain plays from me! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mr_RandomCommenter]

Nice Job Pete Good luck on the next Round

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Cheers! Thank you Rando

[@ximitify]

The comeback was a very nice twist

[@darkaquatus]

Man, the luck element of this game is something I would not be able to deal with. It makes it really hard for the best people to win tournaments.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Define best though. There is a lot of luck in Risk. It's inherent. So what one of those hypothetical best players does about that determines whether or not they are imo

[@darkaquatus]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Yeah, I get that. But one wrong move from an opponent can instantly kill you without you being able to do anything about it. I appreciate the point system they've developed for that specific reason, but it doesn't quite negate the problem. You are still at the mercy of every other player on the board. This is actually why I quit poker years ago. The only way to survive the first 2 days of a poker tournament is by playing unbelievably tight and just turning off your brain. Only when you have the best players left, you can actually start playing the game. Maybe I don't know enough about Risk, but the skill ceiling seems to be pretty low, meaning it won't take long before you end up making the tiniest and most detailed changes to your play in order to improve just a little bit. Which means that large decisions from other players pretty much instantly obliterate all of those fine-tunings. Especially when there's a freaking bot involved. I like watching your videos and I like playing the game. But I don't see how I could manage playing this competitively and not just casually. The frustration would drive me insane.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

@@darkaquatus you gotta do what's fun for you of course. I don't usually say it overtly I prefer to show it but I do believe the skill ceiling for Risk is much higher than it initially appears.

[@darkaquatus]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy Hmm, alright, I'll take your word for it. Guess I'll have to try it out for myself then. Just downloaded it and I'll give it a shot.

[@wesleyowens4089]

Watching this channel must work. I just started playing and I won a game against three grandmasters. I still lose more than I win though

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

You'll get there.

[@sjmoorez]

Love your videos. Like everyone else you randomly popped up on my feed. But GAWD damn you have the loudest keyboard and I don't think them be switches

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

🙏

[@boldstarfish3646]

It’s rare you get two 69 jokes in one video

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

It would be even more rare to get 6 9 jokes, right?

[@daveetter4573]

Congratulations!!

[@daveetter4573]

GOOD LUCK!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Thanks Dave!

[@driftingbout297]

gg very intense game

[@Rath_9]

Out of curiosity what’s your thought process on removing the kill guard on white without verifying you had him found? Couldn’t you have waited a round and seen what the bot did?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I only vaguely recall what you're talking about but I think I noticed the same thing only in retrospect.

[@loowinson2781]

well played😂

[@MonsterTamerBloba]

Good Game! Shame about the bot feed :(

[@nfcheeze]

Mans almost got 1st and every bounty

[@LuvinLifeInCA]

Lose a bot kill, gain a very entertaining fog vid. Worth it! Homefield advantage next round. Well played... and keep it up! 69 with you on bottom of Jadon. Who knew?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

The tinfoil hat theory apparently is that I failed the kill on the bot in order to end up with 69 troops lol!

[@tHeBAdGeRp0kEr]

Can you show the standings and explain the tournament in each video?

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

I added this in for R5

[@LN-wu2db]

Massive 20 points 👏👏🙌

does it bother anyone else he keeps saying top left and bottom left but it's actually the right side 😬

[@aneurysm2479]

Nah, didn't even notice TBH.

[@lonesenpai3390]

I noticed that as well, but I can speak Pete, so I knew what he meant.

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

It bothers me to be imperfect as well. I should commit seppuku immediately.

[@aneurysm2479]

@@TheKillPeteStrategy NGL I had to google this. You are a fountain of knowledge.

69 points! oh yea!

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

Dab!

[@akki40000]

You should have dab at the end with the 69 points

[@spaceman_256]

“Which one is river watch? Oh i must own it” Not quite, its a blizzard. Blizzards dont show names, which you were clearly looking for instead of the card indicator

[@TheKillPeteStrategy]

That's right. Blizzard territories.
