800 ELO Island Experts? (Low Elo Legends)

A few years ago low elo players on islands looked clueless as can be, but nowadays below 1000 elo players are playing really well! This is a fun cast of a pretty competitive 800 elo game at Low Elo!

Low Elo is really entertaining, it's refreshing to watch the unconventional tactics that can be used by less experienced and hardened players.

[@EricBridges]

glad to see you doing the 700-900 range. makes me hopeful that I, too, could someday embarrass myself in a T90 video.

[@martijn3015]

yup, my own elo is somewhere between 720-780.. but already on around 400 games and idk what to do to improve

[@terrencew.pringle1065]

That is the dream!

[@opelfanatic3885]

I played like 10 or 12 games And stay arround 900. Not sure if i get new players who still have to drop down the ladder or this actually is my elo. Guess when i have time i have to play some more games

[@husainjam]

I have 20 games and i am 850 elo too. I just dont play 1v1 at all. I just go for TGs. Less stressful

[@NeighborhoodJackson]

It's okay man I just crossed into the 1k-1.2k range you just gotta pick a few strategies and stick to em just min max em. Micro too, it's just a war of attrition to climb my man you'll get it just keep going I'm rooting for ya!!

[@asdfjoe123]

0:10 - Look at that minimap. It's ISLANDS! Hope they use the pro-strat and put two archery ranges on those small central islands.

[@karelspinka3031]

I would improve it by adding a third one.

[@WigglyWings]

After losing 14 matches straight, I finally won my first ranked game against a ~150 elo player, feels good man. Correction: his elo was 139

[@matthewleadbetter5580]

Good job! The game begins now. :-)

[@WigglyWings]

@@matthewleadbetter5580 Ty :) Every time I lost I thought of giving up ranked games, it was harsh. I think elo should start from 500 and not 1000 for new players. I came close to winning in 2-3 matches before this but failed on queing up units.

[@lolitaras22]

Well done. Empirical knowledge is much more a failure analysis process and in a lesser degree invention, application and refinement of tactics.

[@WigglyWings]

@@lolitaras22 Well I am not gonna lie t90s LEL videos helped :P He gave me the confidence that even though I am not good at playing I can still have fun.

[@eodo14051]

keep going man

[@ValerietheLovelyDeadlyItalian]

someone make a mod for EVEN BIGGER TREES

[@whuzzzup]

Blue lost so many units to them "just passing" instead of attacking.

[@jakoofnerogue]

this kinda felt like a pro game without the micro

[@docsanchezaoe2716]

I'm not gonna lie, I have gained some ELO recently from favouriting water maps. Players of 900-1.1k ELO can have some very clean Arabia and Arena/Hideout builds and play very well on standard maps, but will give up water control too quickly and then it's easy to close out the game.

[@Sputnik5790]

Man i thought red was done after the first water engagement but he drops a castle and builds ALL THE DOCKS under it and makes a comeback like a champ.

[@WiglyWorm]

6+1=7 -T90, 2022

[@indraallian6371]

Great commentary as always on LEL. And thank you T90 for having the big trees on. It makes all the visual difference. Both small trees and those circles are semi cheating in my book. I dont care if they are in the game they are just not right. Fun game though I love playing Islands. That map is just so strategically challanging especially if you are playing Vikings. (No fire ships)

[@longbottomleaf6918]

I've learned a lot watching T90 and low elo, someday maybe i'll be in LOL!

[@SemiMono]

0:30 I think the double c in bucci would be a "ch", seems especially appropriate with him playing as the Italians. ;)

[@tambow44]

Love seeing more islands casts.

[@sleeplesshollow4216]

T90 at the start talked about people playing Island maps to boost their ELO b/c their opponent is unfamiliar with them, and I think blue ALREADY elevated his ELO with island maps to what he is now, whereas he's going up against someone who is actually that high 800s elo. I havent watched beyond 5 min but im betting red wins.

[@Warthoger21]

That ship moving backwards at 27:03

[@orhanmehmed7794]

Those two players did actualy make an amazing game. They might not be pros with perfect plan, execution and adaptations, but the match was a joy to watch. The aoe2 has the best community, thanks to guys like those two and us in this chat. Keep it up bros - meet you online aftee a long day of work!!!

[@igors2383]

t90 couldn't read the score but now he knows the play

[@RennieAsh]

16:44 But everyone else says to not play with fire!

[@bf1701]

Villagers have to chop the straggler trees, T90! If they don't exercise in the early game, they won't be strong enough for efficient collection in the late game.

[@aickavon]

1 tile of water on a map: Exists T90Official: I'd love to see some demos

[@killeasykill]

The circle stuff is great

[@charleysaiz]

Blue should have put 3 archery ranges on those middle islands, that would have definitely helped him win

[@chatgentil9870]

Thats what t90 would do

[@blarch2]

T90 likes to say that AoE2 is 20 years old and is a very hard and complicated game, but Wizardry 7 is a 30-year old game, and only a handful of people have defeated the Beast of 1000 Eyes.

[@Danielftw13]

Every update I lose the small trees being selected. After every patch I spend the next month playing the game and getting mad at the start "I didn't turn the small trees on!!!"

[@renatayoku4267]

TREES!!!! Trees are tall!!! YEAS!

[@egorvoitkov1922]

Landing on the wrong island. Who would even do that LMAO

[@bameno6641]

I learned so much today 😅

[@jameslane2326]

Blue would of won water if they had simply used attack move, i see this all the time in my games, im 700 elo, and i win a lot of my water games simply by attack moving vs an opponent who right clicks on water.

[@unimportantcommenter4356]

Why do people right click? Are they not aware of the Attack-move function?

[@jameslane2326]

@@unimportantcommenter4356 Usually yeah, i was late to it as well, been playing the game 20 years, just started using attack move 2 years ago

[@yhlee1205]

Would there be an island version of ace of emeralds where you put a far dock for fish near the enemy?

[@milfdad]

It’s probably pronounced boo-chee it’s an Italian name

[@milfdad]

Or “busey”

[@jhonviel7381]

how anyone can watch t90 at normal speed is beyond me.

[@why_wait]

Blue needs to know how to patrol 🤦‍♂️

[@Koellenburg]

i like you also casting higher Low Elos ... feels like you commenting on my games :)

[@Velocity_Eleven]

So I've been hanging around the 480 elo range for a while but thanks to nomad I've jumped up by over 100. I recently had nine games in nomad with the same strategy and won all of them

[@danieleriksson5587]

Do you want to share your stragedy?

[@Velocity_Eleven]

[@danieleriksson5587]

@@Velocity_Eleven Thank you

[@martijn9568]

It always amazes me how I'm baffled by how people around my Elo play in LEL. This just means how much worse I am, to what I think I am😬

[@kb-zealot]

20:48 I'm pretty new to the game, but I also think that circles showing range aren't even really necessary and I also would prefer if they weren't added. skill and challenge aside, it seems like it would be bad for immersion

[@DidYaServe]

You should always keep the big trees on.

[@Ymgarl]

If blue had a good build order he wouldn't be 900. A build order is literally all you need to beat probably everyone up to 1200 who doesn't play islands. (a large proportion)

[@aickavon]

also yes that is the BEST way to handle mods that introduce QoL changes that could give players an advantage Just make that an official option to play with.

[@finarfin]

It’s Boo-chee

[@Sputnik5790]

I can´t wait for LEL to build lumbercamps on straggler trees because T90 is complaining all the time.

[@stanislaviliev6305]

Normalise vanilla trees.

[@lolzorzegiknietWoWzz]

i think bucci is pronounced like butsi the italian way because he is italian 😂

[@SA_Rocket]

wasn't this like 2 months ago?

[@WestInBovall]

Like really T90, you know the "minutes in game" are faster than real time yeah?

[@Daniel-wo7ul]

i used to be 800 elo. haha. now im only 1200

[@jppitre]

I used to be 800 elo. haha. im still 800 elo, but I used to be to.

[@ayylmao394]

less than 1% of the playerbase goes over 1100 so thats pretty good

[@why_wait]

Shame we can't see their line of slight/ scouting

[@Hunoa44]

Once it was GG[when i saw blue havin trouble with dark age in comparison to red] i just went to 2x video speed Red was more solid so either blue found a secret strat and went to higher elo without experience or red had a big loss streak(20+ games) and struggled to recover

[@bizzhat]

I started out with 1,000 ELO when playing multiplayer.. is that normal?

[@Keywy]

Yeah everyone starts out at 1000 elo and you go up or down depending on if you win or lose matches

[@darrylwoodford9609]

t90 I view the small trees mod the same as I view every other cheat code . the game was made with normal sized trees and it makes it a little harder in my opinion.

[@martijn9568]

I view small trees just as eye torture.

[@TheRomanAoE]

@@martijn9568 ah, a fellow cube mod enjoyer

[@rawr4444]

What if it''s pronounced like Gucci is pronounced? 😅 bootchi71Official!

[@gutscross9706]

as a moba player when this stuff came up about ranges..... why keep it invisable? it makes the skill cap of the game higher sure, but in the right way? what are the skills you want to be the promoted in this game? and is, "how many invisable tiles did you memorize the town center having" one of them if it's about memorizing ranges, sure,, but i thought it was about how you use those ranges, that made the game, so, why hide that

[@NicolaMastrandrea]

If you are interested You should pronounce the italian player’s name like butchie rather than bukky.

[@n0tz034]

🥳

[@namshimaru]

[@sheiruto1058]

It's pronounced as buchhi plus he took Italians so yeah probably buchhi

i dont use any mods

Hey man really love your videos. Check out my last game in the Migration map. First time pplaying that map. Disclaimer.. It's ULTRA low Elo lol nick is SUD_Serpaman

[@latbat58]

naval battles are so boring. wish they would rework it. or add harsher counter damage or somethng

[@whatgoesaroundcomesaround4027]

So do the mods get used in pro tournament matches? I believe it looks horrible so I wouldn't use them, also the tower radius is something you can simply learn through the amount of games played, along with building placement with the grid lines...I wouldn't call myself a true pro if I had to use this... its like cheats. Unless it is a standard thing but still why not just play the game as intended!? - LAME -

[@markdowse3572]

@ 11:24 "... I am a happy LEL Caster ..." And WE are happy that YOU are happy, T90! 😁😁 These LEL games are such fun and so instructive - just brilliant to watch. ✨ @ 12:10 700 ELO? I'd love to get to that level. 🤗 But I'm stuck on zero because my old PC can only handle Age of Kings. Ah well, maybe one day... @ 24:32 NO-ONE SUSPECTS THE SCARY PARROT ! 🦜😂 M 🦘🏏😎
