Blood Bowl 2 World Cup finals G1: Mallak v Guinness; cast: Crendor cKnoor the Sage Lewpac VG Purist

The tail on that rat ogre is mesmerizing

[@Savantt7]

That's where most of the animation budget went to :p

[@Ghostneedle1]

it's a very satisfying animation

[@Itzak15]

Don't underestimate the Kroxigor's tail game!

[@CrippledFapper]

It is. The quick snap when the tail is on right is bit annoying tho. Animation stops there but the end and start is not the same pose?

[@tedcaramore2256]

Sage, just wanted to say I thought your commenyating was excellent! Fantastic explanations of the basics of the skills for those new to the game, and excellent tactical commenatry on nuances of the game. Just superb. I even liked those tiny disagreements between you and Lewpac, added a little somthing to the game, invoking the tension the coaches feel as they try to workout the permutations of their decisions. Brilliant!

[@geo44ke]

Honestly if lewpac could just let sage talk that might have been entertaining. Lewpac wasn’t analysing, he was filling blancs while Sage was trying to the actual job. God that was annoying.

[@ghazkullthraka1698]

Im a casual BB player, about to dive into my first league with 5 other friends at the end of the month! This vid was very informative, and entertaining. Thanks

[@pogonolagododipopopo]

how did it went ?

[@pablosilvestre75]

the rats td was a 3.2% play lol

[@Ezullof]

14% actually, thanks to the team reroll and the dodge rerolls (without counting the scatter, which is hard to take into account). It's really not a crazy td.

[@Sunbreaker7]

this video got me in to Blood bowl 2

[@thesagebb]

Happy to hear it mate, enjoy the game! If you're new, you might want to check out the reddit blood bowl rookie league, an environment where experienced coaches help show new ones the ropes. www.reddit.com/r/ReBBRL/wiki/gettingstarted

[@pandawarriah]

SPOILER ALERT If the rats did not do the reroll on double skull during round 15, there would be no dodge for the ball carrier and there would be no third half.

[@Akhi_Furqan]

Mallak the immortal, did the craziest touchdown in blood bowl history

[@sylthaya7571]

"blood bowls not all luck" *only gets a touchdown in the first half because of a lucky 6, and then the skaven getting double 1s*

[@Ezullof]

I just played a game vs. Guinness. Was playing Khemri (not really top tier if you are wondering) vs. his wood elves (best team in the game). I didn't cause any injury before turn 13. I won. The guy started whining and being a jerk in the end of the first half when I managed to score on a rerolled 5+ (56% chances of success). Meanwhile he made some mistakes, like dodging with non-dodge players first, or using almost his entire team just to surf a tomb guardian.I'm pretty sure he believes he was unlucky because he looked at the match stats and saw a lot of ones - totally forgetting that his players had an invicible armour for most of the match, despite offering me a lot of blocks. I strongly believe that he only manages to win vs. better players when he's lucky. And he probably won the 2016 world cup because most real Blood Bowl players didn't move to BB2 yet. Anyway, a coach who loses his temper just because his opponent manages to score with a worse team while he keeps all his players on the pitch is not a good coach. And he deserves to be called a filthy lucker.

[@sylthaya7571]

Napishtim interesting, do you know of any high skill skaven players that stream, or have a KZbin channel?

[@Underdrummer]

Awesome video. Just got into Blood Bowl. Nobody playing on 360 anymore I guess.

[@thesagebb]

I would expect that the userbase is pretty small there, yeah. Most people play BB2 on PC, with smaller communities on PS4 and XBOne.

[@Underdrummer]

Knew I'd have to make the change eventually. PC or next-gen for me now.

[@pikewerfer]

wow - how did I miss this last year??

[@thesagebb]

Haha, ehm, I dunno? The world cup was pretty widely advertised and talked about in lots of forums/streams/etc. =) You can find the complete set of official casts in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PL91pOTBjZaWmonT8FXJfxAu63wGEmP59y

[@temeraire1705]

Will there be Championchips in other years too?

[@thesagebb]

The 2016 was the first in BB2 (which was released 2015 iirc. The 2018 which is going on right now (currently in the round of 16, semifinal Aug 14th, Final Aug 16th) is the second one.

[@temeraire1705]

the_sage thanks a lot

[@enricportellpenades826]

Nice Video and comments :) thanks for sharing it. I'm enjoying it very much. Just a question... how can a gutter runner be a "one turner" with movement 9? If you are lucky and get +1mov (10) and then sprint, you can move the 13 squares you need to move... but without it, i'm not getting the tactic :O

[@thesagebb]

Hi! It involves chainpushes on the LoS to put your high MA player a few squares forward. Go ahead and watch some of the videos in this playlist for examples. =) kzbin.info/aero/PL91pOTBjZaWmlqH8S4TWOFYhS-_nHXr54

[@storbertas]

one of the best training/inspiration playlists out there! Thanks!

[@thesagebb]

My pleasure mate! For inspiration, you might also enjoy this one with over 50 highlights: kzbin.info/aero/PL91pOTBjZaWlul66BTjGbzYL-qwTujqL1 For teaching, this one has several teaching matches: kzbin.info/aero/PL91pOTBjZaWnYFyJTDQcMsl0iDfZTyj09

[@storbertas]

Will check out both! used to play skaven with natural 1turners, so chainpushing was not that relevant, now playing lizardz, real pleasure whaching you play them, love the control this team provides and the way you utilize it. Thanks again!!

[@thesagebb]

Cheers mate, always nice to hear that! =)

[@leobottini5118]

Thanks for uploading :)

[@thesagebb]

No problem! Thanks to Focus for allowing me to. ;)

[@ForzaTerra89]

Haven't played in a while but I don't remember the rat ogres or the game looking like that?

[@Pehr81]

isn't the stormvermin called blitzer nowadays?

[@thesagebb]

Yes, you're right. I prefer stormvermin though, and will just keep calling them that. =)

[@Pehr81]

yeah, I miss longbeards also...

[@thesagebb]

Pehr Meldert I think BB2 actually calls them longbeards, no?

[@Pehr81]

cool! I have no idea, I only play fumbbl //Roland

[@thesagebb]

Oh, hi Roland! I just checked, and yes; they're called longbeards there. =)

[@BenBensc]

nobody"s asking for the intro song !!? Please share !! ty

[@samamies88]

Benjamin Dulioust Hi! Sey for late reply but song is "BustaFunk - King of the Hood"

[@Travesty1709]

why did all the stunned pieces come back after the transition from second half to OT? seemed odd.

[@thesagebb]

There is a bug with knockout recovery and overtime. I don't know the specifics, but I did already see this before.

[@Travesty1709]

+the_sage Ahh I understand. Well I'm glad it didn't effect the outcome. Could of been worse. Thanks for the answer.

[@thesagebb]

Travis Dorsey Still, it's a pity, in a match which is meant to showcase your game.

[@Travesty1709]

+the_sage Definitely. Especially considering the rules for this tournament, seems with the amount of games going into OT, this could of definitely impacted some games. Still good to see the talent of the players shine through.

[@kennethvalentine8147]

The bug is just a visualization error. The dice log is actually accurate, just the display is off.

[@TooLatePeople]

So dynamic

[@aaronsmith6307]

I always think it's funny when the guy at the start said turn your phone Off but if I did that I wouldn't be watching

[@cozetteolivier4705]

4 min/turn is too long

[@thesagebb]

I agree completely. It would not be less of a test of skill; just different skill, being able to make the decisions in less time. And it would make for far better watching, which must surely have been an important point for Focus.

[@cozetteolivier4705]

players have the time to cogitate during opposing turn

[@sylthaya7571]

@NatarisX it also makes the game take twice as long

[@BelleDividends]

Saurus becomes Sauri. Saurae would be for Saura. This are the Latin plural rules.

[@greglott4977]

Changing commentators mid-match isn't ideal. And if you HAVE to do that, maybe make sure the second group listens to the first group. Otherwise we get mechanics explained twice to us. Yes, we know what Wild Animal does.

[@KILLERKEMOProduction]

Its possible when it was first aired, it was a stream at the time with how long it is.

[@kivati]

hmm, does it always have all that mess above the players? I'm liking the look of the first Blood Bowl more than this cluttered interface...

[@FoulPet]

Can't deal with the sniffing

[@cyberdemonempress868]

Then stop doing it, there's also no need to comment about it on a unrelated youtube video..

Blood bowl is much more skill based than shit like Hearhtstone, not even comparable.

[@garaktartv3647]

Its pretty much almost the same lol both are about rng risk Management

Letters?

[@Gustavae]

Almost made it about 10 minutes before the sniffing and breathing of the announcer drove me insane. Seemed like a good match, and it's sad that something as small as breathing could trigger me so bad.

[@OtherworldlyOdd]

Tried to watch but I can't stand the sniffing/breathing noise one of these guy makes in between every sentence. :|. Talk slower if you can't breathe dude, don't gasp for breath in our ears.

[@Ixnatifual]

18 minutes in and the sniffing and gasping is already starting to wear on my sanity xD

Hmmmmm Crendor didn't saying anything stupid for once..... He must be a fake!

I did; thank you. I'd only been streaming for less than a year, and was asked to cast the world cup, I was nervous AF.
