[@joypops1]

The sheer amount of energy in his casting alone makes me want to keep watching, please never change drongo. I am now a diehard fan of your content.

[@Ola_liker_polet]

Good energy, but he is getting really sloopy on what is going on.

[@joypops1]

@@Ola_liker_polet literally no one asked for your opinion mate.

[@captainmckendrickcapsolici4399]

I 100% agree with you, Drongo's energy while casting is the best

[@hugodejong]

@@joypops1 Just like no one asked for yours, but here we are, in the comment section. Makes you wonder.

[@yuzuftazimo2157]

​@@Ola_liker_polet Don't know what you mean by sloppy but I think that's just his casting style. I first watch drongo when AOEIV was still in early access, and the amount of research in the game he went through is astounding. So I think meta/strategy/tactic wise, he pretty much knows what is going on, just like with other pro players

[@GoBzi]

Jesus Christ what a game. Combine that with your casting, pure masterpiece!

[@vidhyanandcs1197]

Rus was focusing on upgrades rather than building military. didnt expect a counter attack

[@VonkOfficial]

What a game! A pleasure to watch these matches, thank you for the great casting Drongo, you rock!

[@megselv6633]

"He's stuck! Stepbro, get out of that dishwasher!" best caster ever

[@clashwithclass]

I'm so hype to watch this. Been playing Japan and playing some defense and winning is super nice.

[@chrisnewtownnsw]

Japan really does seem to compliment the turtle enjoyers of rts. Everything is consolidated and it builds up and not out so it's easier to protect. Fun civ.

[@---qb1bf]

The Japs actually need a nerf lol. Bannermen = Buffed damage, deflective armour means plenty of incoming damage just means f*ckall, and the monks can give another damage buff WHILE decreasing damage done by the enemy. How many times must the opponent get disadvantaged??? I really like the Japs but when they've got a serious advantage it feels lame winning with them 🫣

[@claumax]

I really struggle when they put this much pressure on me as Japanese, I have a lot to learn from these games and players! What a great defense from Crackedy, I didn't think he could actually defend, come back and win!

[@docodemo727]

wow, what a come back! and what a great casting with Drongo's energy!

[@milanthechosen]

Drongo, this was one of the best games I've seen. The energy and dynamic was nerve-wracking!

[@KC__coffee]

You made my day Drongo. Thank You for your broadcast. 👍🏻

[@Jewels___]

On the topic of Yumi Ashigaru, I don't see why people are skeptical of the unit. Yes, it normally has one less damage than archers, but japanese have Bannermen. That one less attack is always compensated when a Bannerman is present. This translates into a cheaper unit that is trained faster, allowing for the japanese player to have his "archer" ball quicker.

[@Othman-eq8et]

Low range and hp, long queue time for training. If queue time is 5-6 seconds it would be worth it, but twice the time of a longbow is bad.

[@Jewels___]

@@Othman-eq8et how do they take twice the time of a longbow? Are you comparing to the council hall training time?

[@Agito928]

Brother. Chef's kiss. Gyat dam fantastic casting and what a damn game. You love to see it! Subb'ed and bell'ed babyyy. That wall dock joke was freakin hilarious! lmao

[@dannyflynn1912]

GJ. Enjoyed this.

[@UltrasRapid1992]

i love it how rus just waited in front of the japanese base :D why not push the resources on crackedy's side which were more or less unprotected? Then again, awesome cast by u

[@sS0ulSs]

Felt like having some custard. So came looking for Aussie's videos. 10/10 best custard on youtube

[@luckysuryajaya2615]

Man, that's an insane counterattack by the Japanese Player, CrackedyHere. Also great and energetic commentary Drongo. Thanks for the entertaining video

[@murtazasalmanabedin4221]

Love tbe commenttry man

[@1337ghomri]

I really did not expect that! Wow what a comeback! Insane match!

[@maapaa2010]

So clean. See his opponent getting aggressive so throws up full base walls and says see you in imperial.

[@EironKyle]

I don't play this game so I have zero idea what's happening with the units and upgrades but dang that comeback was incredible! I was about to exit the video thinking that crackedy was about to lose but realized I'm still at the halfway mark on the timeline. Decided to stick around. Awesome casting too! The consistency of your energy all throughout 30 minutes made watching this match even better!

[@piggy8435]

@Aussie_Drongo would love to hear a video on your general thoughts of the state of the game now that it's been about 2 years, where it can/should go from here, and what you think is next!

[@34Hopkins]

Brooooo, the dishwasher got me. You win the internet today 😂😂

[@session182]

love your casting bro! greetins from Argentina jajaj :D

What an incredible game this was. Amazing defense!

[@akbutte5442]

[@Xivinux]

Are there gonna be more Outback Octagon matches? Those were phenomenal

[@nateofthesouth]

*Who the fuck is this Drongo guy!?* Bringing that energy like 1930s circus barker and the humor like a 90s standup comedian! I lost it at the "dock" wall commentary. Cursed casts are my fav. 10/10

[@crstnio]

Such a good game!

[@Explorerda]

What a comeback!

[@tomi3978]

Don't even play the game but love watching it and love the casting!

[@felixc2347]

Hey drongo! Lova ya stuff. Is there any plans for an outback octagon 3 now that the expansion is out?

[@dios8256]

That was intense. I thought it was over early, then wondered why the video was so long

[@nerdybeancounter]

Great one

[@SomeGuy486]

That was an awesome game!

[@jaspertjePoekie]

Hi Drongo ! Will you be hosting another OUTBACK OCTAGON 3 ?

[@Immortan_JoJo]

I was not expecting that come back towards the end holy cow.

[@---qb1bf]

The Japs are overpowered actually. I mean they were behind on EVERYTHING including getting their base smashed in and they still come out tops. They're too much.

[@ethanfink7962]

That was intense.

true

[@clashwithclass]

[@robbyrocketpants]

Honestly the most impressive bit to me is Crackedy just keeping his cool. I feel like most players would’ve conceded to that base push.

W8, what was the metal to metal sound?

[@martinsleight321]

Wow, it's really not over until it's over.

[@docodemo727]

Every 10 minutes in this game I was like "oh wow didn't see that coming" lol

[@andrewgrant2948]

Wow what a game!!

[@The_savvy_Lynx]

Never put Yorishiru'd buildings in the front of your base.

[@stevenq4859]

Good one

With the new patch you get a Yorishiro every two minutes now and it spawns with a monk, but you start with one.

[@kenesawthornley6462]

I just dont get what happened here. Every game I play against Japanese they just pump out so many units, and here Crackedy even has a big villager lead at the end but... the units just dont come? What am I missing? Edit: shoulda just kept watching, he reaches exactly the production I was expecting just later than anticipated. What a comeback! xD

[@gonzalomartinez6219]

Now I want to know the word you used!!!

[@ReinhardvonHolst]

6:45 Isn't it kind of good to wall to the berry bushes because your enemy can't get a chop through and you save a tile of wood?

[@RealShaun]

Maybe. But berries are harvested fast, especially with the japanese, and then you have a big gaping hole in your wall

[@ReinhardvonHolst]

I saw the result at 18:49. My bad.

[@chrisnewtownnsw]

yeah the problem is it's so binary. One minute your airtight and then at some random time when you're distracted elsewhere you suddenly get gaped.

[@cryo5329]

where did rus go wrong to go from so far ahead to just dying x.x

[@t3ss33]

the first raid with mounted samurai was poorly defended. At the same time FAQ didnt bother to raid himself or extend his map control. I feel like he could have just chocked Crackedy by placing some towers at the outside golds and perhaps moving more into cav too. I dont think spears was a good call.

[@ARCAGNELL0]

Also to note that Rus went for a very heavy ranged focus, built a lot of defensive infrastructure at the front but forgot the most important aspect of defending against full melee swarm comps: walls. Had he walled in front of that forward keep with one, maybe even multiple layers of reinforced palisade walls and sat his crossbows behind there, Japan would've lost. Same applies to the base walling. I used to be a Rus main before the expansion; layering reinforced Palisades instead of stone walling is a very good alternative and saves you both stone and vills!

[@welfdeath]

At 24:23 FAQ was tripple the military . He could have just walked south with his army and do crazy economic damage , but instead he just retreated and waited for crackedy to just roll over him .

[@ARCAGNELL0]

@@welfdeath True, but you don't always have Intel about what situation the enemy is in. I could bet FAQ was fearful of a melee army swarming him if he tried a flank, so he stayed put and built up defenses at the front

[@docodemo727]

@@welfdeath it's difficult to do that in his place. he had mostly range unit while what's waiting inside is magneol + Japanese shogunate castle. he should have gone for more knight

以為日本要輸了 結果反敗為勝@@

[@Blitzkit]

the strat of stalling is for your team in defense to do everything you can to stall the enemy's advance and not the other way around that was a Godsend for the JP side. it wasn't a stalemate, rus definitely overwhelmed JP but rus suddenly stopped instead of just not letting JP getting recovered. also the rus not destroying the JP walls is really amusing, the walls the rus made became worthless because JP can just demolish their walls for an instant access saves them more time
