The Extras channel was such a content machine. Thx for all the work.

[@WiglyWorm]

absolute firehose. i tried really hard and couldn't watch every match. It would have been a full time job to watch it all.

[@reddott2k]

Dog that extras channel was my life, shout out to T90

[@vialactea5549]

I watched every single platinum game, wether actively or in the background. Thank you Tristan, and everyone who made this possible, especially the players. This was so much fun I already miss it!

[@solorollo9756]

@@WiglyWorm I watched them all at work lol. And it was indeed a full time job

This tournament was awesome. Thanks to everyone involved!

Viper's Game 1 vs Sebastian in group stage Game 1 vs Jordan in quarter final Game 3 vs Hera in final Should be a playlist

[@gamingpc5459]

Game 2 vs Tatoh as well (the tatars vs burgundians one, not sure if 2nd)

[@sp0_od597]

@@gamingpc5459 That ghost lake game in the semifinal was also amazing

[@AlexBless-hn2ls]

I would also say Game 5 vs Jordan belongs in that list. His patience to just play the attrition game with trash units vs the Elephant archers then at the end throw skirms in to reduce the numbers of elephants and add Cavalier with his stockpile of gold for the final push was incredible.

[@gamingpc5459]

@@sp0_od597 yeah, that's the one!

[@gamingpc5459]

@@AlexBless-hn2ls absolutely!! I don't think I was the only one who thought he lost for sure

[@williamschubert4819]

Hera and Viper's willingness to lose armies to gain positions (more Viper) or do damage (more Hera) is unparalleled and is so effective. Great set and amazing play by both.

[@darkranger116]

13k views in 9 hrs, t90 and viper having videos consistently its been 24 years, and its STILL the best time to jump into this game

[@NathanCassidy721]

My favorite part from TTL is the sheer variety of civs and units we saw across all of it. I’m personally happy to see Turks, Portuguese, Italians, and Burmese make a dominant showing

[@KingNik1994]

What a tournament! I've watched every single Platinum game, and this is the most I've ever been absorbed by a sports competition. Fantastic players, fantastic casting!

[@kudosensei]

Honestly sad it's over, such a great stream of amazing high-level content. I loved S2 so much I'd even try to watch it on my phone on my lunch breaks despite the screen being no way near big enough to see the action proper, every plat game to a whole bunch of gold as well. Congrats to Vipey and of course thanks to T90, JBR, Hardy and every other collaborator that made it happen. Looking forward to whatever is planned next, with how amazing this went whatever follows definitely won't disappoint at all.

[@Baron_Laska]

This is the first AoE2 tournament I have followed along with as it happened. It was fantastic!! Felt as though the QFs were actually the best round as the SFs and F lacked the twists and tight results. *SPOILER* Actually think JorDan was the only player who gave Viper a scare and I enjoyed his play. Being quite new to AoE2 he has a new fan in me :-)

[@TheDevourerOfPancake]

Jordan is such a good guy when you hear him speak too. I started really rooting for him in hidden cup 4 when he was coming back from retirement and T90 was dismissing that the guy in front of him could be Jordan because 'Jordan's just not that good". Heck yeah he's that good and he looked like an even match for any of the big names this tournament

[@IndexInvestingWithCole]

Jordan was the best player in all of season 2 playoffs. Well, except for the Viper in their series.

[@stevelaw3886]

This was Jordan finally back to his best after being retired a long time. There's some old matches between him & Viper that are worth a watch, from when it was those 2 at the top.

[@Racepiraat]

Great final for a amazing second season of T90 Titan League! Thank you T90 and everyone else for casting and hosting this competition.

[@derekpascoe804]

Thank you Tristan for bringing your vision to light for competitive AOE. You & Dave’s chemistry is unmatched. True 🐐‘s of competitive casting. The enjoyment I got out of this is the same as, breaking bad, game of thrones, & dragon ball Z when I was a kid

[@repeets5455]

Regardless of the winner, thanks for the great entertainment all contenders and thanks again T90 for all the work you and all your co-casters and the rest of the crew put in! It’s been an epic season!

[@nickbeltz8602]

Who did you think should have won?

[@MrCrimsonhermit]

Wow... thats about as close as you get to perfect gameplay. I cannot find the right words to describe this amazing series. Congratulations to the Winner And to 2nd place, i hope you keep your spirits up, even with that loss you played exceptional AOE2. Thanks to you T90 and all your co casters and editing/production team for bringing us this tournament. Cheers

[@youngmanlogan5812]

my two favorite players and two favorite casters. this tournament was very fun. thank you t90

[@zeruzio1345]

What a great season, ending how we all thought it might. So much work went into this season. Sad we didn't get an ACCM-Viper Final but maybe next time. Great work T90 and the team! Very much appreciated.

[@stevelaw3886]

I was gutted when Accm lost - particularly the way he fell apart in game 5.

[@Grato537]

Amazing content! So happy to have a league format for Age! Would seriously love if it could even be expanded next season.

[@umamifriends]

I've been playing AoE2 online since the early 2000s, before Conqueror's expansion came out, when siege was banned because scorpions used to get archery range upgrades lol. Anyways its incredible to see the game in it's current state, the player base and quality of games, not just on a skill level, but on an entertainment level too, have never been higher. absolutely loving the state of the community and the quality of casting as well. this is probably the best AoE tournament I've ever watched , hats off to T90!

[@USSTrashBoat]

this tourney has been great im gonna miss having a ton of content to watch on the extras channel during work. great work T90 and crew!

[@shogunjim4257]

Great cast dude, love it when Dave is co casting with you.

[@littlezimty]

Minor Spoiler... . . . . . . Game 3 when the crossbows enter Hera's base. Hera's idle villager time jumps from 16 minutes to 34 minutes, while Viper's only ticks up from 18 to 20. For zero eco deaths that's still a ton of eco damage.

[@gletscherminze9372]

ÆGGs to both players as well as T90. Winner deserved it imo. Also the tourney was super cool overall with some very memorable games and an incredible level of play in the knockout stage.

[@whatsup9992]

Thanks to T90 and all involved. Been great following this tournament! Some of the duels last days ranks really high up there among the most enoyable AoE2 competitive games I have seen!

[@johnsmith5139]

beautiful to see a certain hussar flood strategy thwarted so deftly

[@jordanlimantara1814]

Honestly, I thought mayans would get crushed in late game but just calmly placing a couple of halbs in his ecos and then creating an unstoppable mass and destroy his base slowly, just masterful.

[@Chimichanga5666]

That 3rd game's turn of events was unbelievable.

[@N7Nihlus]

Oh this is gonna be a ride!!! Thanks to all of the players for their skill and desication to this game, thanks to this community for being such a family and thanks to T90 for such hard work in bringing us all this amazing content.

[@Beetil]

Congrats 1st and 2nd for an amazing performance in the tournament. Thanks T90 n team for the juicey content!

[@robbspin]

great tournament. I've been watching it every day for months, sad that this season is over. Amazing play and great casting as always

[@rickbiessman6084]

T90, you’re amazing. There are no words to describe how cool the leagues you set up are. Also I love your choice of co-casters you brought on! I felt all o them were a super good fit. (I will say I’m glad Memb wasn’t one of the co-casters... which will sound mean, I know. But I wanted to put it out there because your casts really matter to me. 😌)

[@karladajca3205]

fantastic play by Viper, loved the Finals with T90 and Dave's cast. This tourney was very enjoyable! gg wp

[@nathanfranks1476]

I watched the entire thing via the extras channel and couldnt have asked for a better experience! Really appreciated You hiding the names from the vid titles in the bracket part to avoid spoilers. Idk if its possible, but can you hide the video length too? Atleast in the thumbnail. That would be POG.

Great series and casting. Viper and Hera both have different styles that makes for an entertaining final.

[@dougler500]

Congratulations T90 on the resounding success that was this Season of TTL! The league was so awesome! I watched about 75% of the games on Extras and about the same on your main channel and the competition was so sick. Even though the prize pool isn't massive the players gave it their all and the map pool?!? Dude the map pool was so awesome this time around! Wellll done sir! Can't wait for season 3!

Total and brutal domination.

[@xxCD7xx]

Thank you all for this

[@gildeddrake1479]

honestly it is so close. most games i see are domination from one side or the other but these pro player look so good and so close to each other, each game they fight tooth and nails to get the win, it's really impressive.

[@SilverwingStudios]

Hera is my favorite player. Persians are my favorite civ since the game came out in '99 when I was in high school. Game 2 was so much hype for me. ^_^

Awesome tournament. Keep going like that, Viper, ÆGG! :D And I wish you, T90, would just cast ALL tournaments. Nice personality, competent/knowledgeable commentary and an accent that you actually can keep listening to for hours without getting insane (no offense to other casters).

you should introduce Dave sooner in the vid - gave me a dang heart attack T90!

Yes T90, you call Dave, David, like twice. :)

[@dreamsolutions3037]

Me coming back to AOE2 2 years later after a viper video gets recommended to me: "I wonder if Hera is still relavent" "Oh look, the most recent tournament concluded. I wonder who was in the finals" Love to see it.

[@braccin]

You wall last minute because it delays them into going into other areas of your economy as well as gives u more time to get resources and waste less time building cause once they know ur alert they won’t bother so viper does it strategically not an ego move

[@TheParallelSound]

we need a big summer event!

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

that was a great series.

[@HuntsDown]

I'm really confused as to why Hera quit in match 3. I'm a novice but he had 4 trebs and had just taken down the castle? He could have packed up the trebs and got them away, couldn't he? The match looked so tight and I assumed he was winning as he had trebs and Viper didn't. I know I'm wrong because these guys know best, but to me, it's mega confusing. If someone could explain (IF POSSIBLE) would appreciate it as am trying hard to follow what is going on.

[@helderboymh]

Viper was gonna last long enough that the gold he is going to get extra would be to much. Hera had zero gold Income, was gonna lose those trebs and and has no hand cannons. He needs trebs to push castles but also needs hand canons to kill the Eagles and pike. Without hand canons Hera army just doesn't stand a chance, it's all cavalry. Also we don't see everything for example in the last 3 min Hera lost over 30 eco. It's might seem early but he called gg right at the moment that he basically had no chance of winning, when he lost his trebs. Without those he can't stop vipers trebs meaning that the castles that are the only thing left that can defend his eco, will go down eventually.

[@HuntsDown]

@marcel helder thank you I appreciate your time! That makes sense

[@stephenkamps8925]

0:13 if you see it, you see it.

[@Hunter-Bomar]

This might sound stupid but it be would awesome to have like an hour of black screen after tournament sets that dont go to game 7/5. I dont get to watch live and usually the time remaining on the video spoils the outcome around the end. Just a thought. Either way thanks for the content. I definitely enjoy watching more than I actually play 😂

[@alexbrennan9928]

I find it really funny T90 praises hera for getting eco upgrades. Hera ignores eco upgrades do hard it makes me want to scream. Like the nomad game T90 is like "look how fast hera will click horse collar" and 30 farms later he still doesn't have it....

[@andrewg3196]

Wow, Viper is a beast. After seeing him vs Tattoh and now this, he's just too good.

[@ian2372]

Of course it'd be Hera and Viper. They are no doubt way better than 99% of us normal players but I hate how high ranked players play. I think it's far from the vision the original devs had. They gave us walls, formations and so many options. Now every high elo game is mostly the same, random sporadic towns, no walls, no formations, just random small unit fights and blobs of buildings.
