EXTEND THE TIMER YOUR SHITS
Liereyyy why would you throw your paladins like that
>score victorygaaaaaaaay
4 MINUTES!!!!!
Church
>>736511549script said he should do that if such a scenario came up
Finishing with a score victory is retardedAlso, how come stand ground patrol or whatever stacking tec is allowed?

geeze
50 POP FUCKFUCKFUCK
>>736511574Average American Evangelical area.
Booorrrriiinggggggg
>>736511442so they're just gonna build shit and research tech to increase score now?
hahahahahaha liereyy is so fucking shit at the game hahahahaha
the score victory is incredibly lame cope rule designed so that bo8 shitters don't stall up the reservation time. you can tell because if it was actually intended as an important game mechanic, the hosts would've added a large score count down overlay to the top of the screen rather than just the default one in the bottom right. massive blunder by the tournament hosts which ruined one of the best matches of all time
>>736511635based
I AM FUCKING KILLING MYSELF
>9k food into ggbrilliant
>>736511442AoM > AoE2
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
OH BOY HERE IT COMES!IT IS A DRAG RACE!
GAMES LIKE THESE ARE WHY I STOPPED FOLLOWING STARCRAFT!!!FUCKING RAGE INDUCING
jesus fucking christ
FUCK
whew
lol
THIS IS THE GREATEST GAME I HAVE EVER SEENEVER
>score victory ruins the best game so far-.-'
>people will complain about score win>people will not notice Larry losing with 50 pop available and 9k FUCKING FOOD IN HIS BANK
Of course the cockroach is going to win a not dying race, come on
that's terriblethere is no way liereyy can recover from this loss mentally
i feel sick to my stomach
FUCK SCORE VICTORY>FUCK SCORE VICTORYFUCK SCORE VICTORY
Lackluster ending but what a crazy match
>>736511664I was hoping it would be disabled for the finals. Fuck.No way you recover from that loss
>le 9k food man
Fucking hell, what a turnaround
F U C K
holy shit this is a game that I never thought I would ever have any interest in but here I am
>>736511664game should be designed so that matches don't last so long
legendary choke
>putting a time limitFor shame, I think that's the best AoE2 game I've ever seen in my life
>>736511729larry is just so fucking bad. how can you lose all your eco to 3 berzerkers, forget you have trebs, keep throwing away cavalier/paladins for 50food villagers and hitting tcs, etc
STOP THE COUNT!
So was this a throw ???
>>736511729Raiding is always the final answer when it comes to this, this is where Huns shine for fucks sake.Sucks we will never see high level huns playing at finals ever again outside Conquerors era
you really fucked it larry
>>736511795>Sworsman
PEAK OF EMPIRES STATUS?
Wouldn’t Flemish Revolution have given a big score boost from a sudden jump in army size? Researches quickly too
Insane throw to invest into meme score strats too early and just get rolled because you basically stopped playing 5 minutes before the match is over
>>736511727thisso much thisfuck this format
>>736511795CUTE
>>736511802you wouldn't last 5 secoinds
>>736511813Huns were picked in almost every series so far, anon-kun
how the fuck this nigga win on vikings man nigga WHAT THE FUCKKK
>>736511809yeah, a gigantic throw
>>736511770Larry won the first 3 games and then just got tired idk
Brain fog on Larry, manWtf was he thinking, did he really think Hera will just let him pile up buildings?
holy bottle job
Shoulda flemish revd
>this game
>you really gotta be feeling raped if you're leeri right nowwtf hosts please
>>736511836yeeeep
i know memb is absolutely seething at the score rule, he hates shit like this
>>736511765I find that AoE2 is much more fun to watch than to play.
>>736511829The most peak and fast posting threads here at /v/ over the entire easter weekend.seriously, korea time threads were getting autosaged due to low posts
Yeah this is fucking rigged, just give hera the trophy
>>736511834you think the guy with 7k food in the bank at the end of the game is smart enough to research flemish revolution?
Bros no way Larry can keep playing.He's going to fold in ten minutes next match, just imagine having to win two in a row after that.
>>736511859PAST BED TIME FOR THE KID
HOW WAS THIS MATCH REAL
>>736511834It's expensive as fuck though
>>736511926how much ressources does it cost?
>>736511834Larry only plays metaI think he genuinely has no clue what half the UTs in the game do
Final score 5-3 HeraLiereyy 's spirit is broken by this
Larry you dumb motherfucker
>>736511861Lierrey "I'm prepared for everything" Larry lmao
>>736511945THIS is truly the Age of Empires
>>736511915how many people even watch koreatime since tasteless/artosis dont cast it anymore? when it was scan/nyoken casted it, it was ok, but then they swapped to some faggy sounding guy and i never watched again.
>>736511859YOU'RE BLOWING EVERYTHING LARRY!!!!BLOOOOWING IT!!!!!
Schizo theory anon last thread might've been onto something you know...
>>736511959He literally said he didn't buy the latest DLC a couple of weeks ago and today he actually lost against one of them.
Least scripted esports event btw.
>>736511795there should be a mod to replace all the units with cute units
>>736512005STOP TAKING YOUR MEDSI'M SORRY
>>736512005He's always right
>>736512005>Schizo theory anon last threadyou are going to have to bee more specific
>>736512031Shiut the fuck up that last match was insane chaos
>>736512031nah, liereyy is just a terminal choker lol.
>Loch Nessoh hey it's the out of rotation map.Yea, it's a Hera win. He has more experience.GG.
>>736512005It can't be...
rip scouts
Say what you want but the finals have been kino
>armenians
>Nessie actually existswtf bros??
>>736512005What theory?
WU-TANG
>it was an organic score victory
>>736512063come now, we all read it >>736508938
>>736512141>>736508938
if only there was recorded history of this happening
Loch Ness is shit
>>736511824it's a gyaru trap. full homo.
LIEREYY YOU NEED TO WINYOU NEED TO OVERTURN FATE AND DESTINYSHOW THE WORLD
>>736512239You don't think I was maybe alluding to the typo instead?
>>736512193Yeah I think a lot of people would've left extremely unsatisfied if he swept it - which I definitely think he could've if he wanted to
>>736512261wont happen. he refuses to learn
i paused my futa momcest session for this rigged crap
>>736512315Haha yeah that sounds gross hahawhere do you get it anon
>>736511528
I'm tired anons, how are these pros doing it..?
>chinese factionuh, yeah, im thinking overpowered
>>736512378make sense
RIGGED
larry pls dont choke
>>736512393it's a pro gamer secret but: drink red bull
>>736512393Red Bull gives you wings>>736512441yeah, WU is stupidly good alongside Tupi's arrows of doom
>>736512084Sounds like Tokido lel
>>736511549>>736511584I fucking swear this has to be the case, it was so dumb. Turning 600 score advantage into 300 score loss in a minute.
>>736512393Why, they're drinking RedBull©, of course.I have no idea
>that jokeoof
Die.. Fucking.. Die....
red bull tastes like sugary piss
>>736512524welcome to t90 finals >>736498687
I missed the joke what was it
>not picking the relicslow IQ
>>736511442Just got into this game yesterday. Is it popular? Surprised to see so many posts for an RTS on /v/
>>736512591Me too. I'm not even paying attention to the game any more after that last match. I'm just reading through the thread.
Fucking hell he's getting all the relics it's so over.
>bodyblocking the wolfwow tryhard much??
>>736512625yeah why the fuck not when you've got the upper hand already
>>736512628It is m00t's favorite game
>>736512628biggest tournament of the year and last match was ridiculously close and hard fought
larry won, once you get water control you win this map
>>736512628>Is it popular?It's probably the most popular RTS on the market currently and gets constant updates and DLC.
>>736512716Who?
>>736512628It will last any other RTS always, it's that 'popular'
>>736512742It's Hera, he could just send light cavalry around the side and roach somehow
>>736512750The founder of 9gag
>>736512460Can you explain to me this draw? I mean, I get she's seeing loom colored undewear or something like that I don't get why she looks angry in the right draw
Absolutely gross
annnd he didn't wallgg no re
>>736512628>is AoE2 popular?
>>736512742yes, because the Chinese civ are known for winning after getting superior naval advantages
THEFUCKINGWALL
OMG
>>736512834heh
holy shit that was cool
get blocked nerd lmao
THE WALLS
JESUS
>>736512773OHH no wait, I get it. The one in red is the enemy scouts who decides to not attack the vill because she has loom already hehe good one
STOAN GAYTES
>fire archersI can only prayI know they're shit but DAMN they're cool
>>736512628its the only good rts out rn (besides aom) and it will outlast us all
the quick builds reminds me of fortnite
I think this game could benefit from getting sped up a bit to be more like SC2.
>>736512773light cav is strong against villagers
HE IS GOING TO DO IT!
how the fuck do pros wall like that
>i only wall if its an emergency!cortisol maxxing
>>736511442if they go 5-4 I will be a little suspicious that the match was set up
see Viper you balding fraud this is why you wall
>>736512941100+ APM
What in the fortnite fuck is this???
>>736512628Most of its popularity is banking on nostalgia from the 1999 version of AoE2 but thanks to the COVID bump and casters like T90 who's arguably one of the GOAT casters of anything it has had a resurgence and it has established a very solid niche.
>>736512981maximum pro plays
>>736512968Considering they've gone 5-4 plenty of times before, in non-finals, would that also make you suspicious?
>>736512628100k people are watching this match.
Watching Liereyy in a long game is stressful, he's so shaky compared to Hera
Hera has got this with that castle
soulful castle
That treb stack is brutal.
>>736513065i wish skyrimfags could replicate this for imperial and stormcloak forts
It's over....
Bros
>Hera got the drip on Larry againHOW
It’s gg
HOW THE FUCK DOES A BOAT CONVERT!
If Hera wins I will slit my own throat (in Minecraft)
>fish and shipsheh
My breath bros.. my breath..
>>736513141Armenian bullshit
>>736513141It's wololo I ain't gotta explain shit.
The cockroach cannot be killed
LIERY PLEASE IT'S TIME TO BUCKBREAK THE LITTLE TWINK
>Larry wasting 20 pop on ships that are AFKAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>tfw such a contrarian i want hera to win
>>736513212I hate Hera, but Larry is UNDENIABLY playing super sloppyCool micro and all, but his adaptability is all over the place, so many AFK units and so many unnoticed raids
LARRY PLS DO IT
Liereyy is doing this!!!
>>736513212I want Hera to win so I can go to bed.
>>736513212you want a 15 time winner, swept Viper (/our/ guy), over the guy who's been in every tournament and never won?
lol !
>>736513212As far as top players go, you could do a lot worse than hera
>>736513141It becomes buddhist.
>>736513212i root for the underdog in every sport but this guy sucks LMAO
>>736513278Viper played fucking *terribly* yesterday. You can not in good faith say he deserved to win. It was like watching an amateur play.
>another loch ness snoozefest
>>736513243Honestly, true. I want liereyy to win but he doesn't deserve to win considering all the mistakes.
>>736513341Good thing he didn't say that then..?
>Lierry has a 4k point advantageHe's doing it.....
I had to leave when Larry was winning 3-0, what happen?
And Hera has won this
>the inevitable out of place chinese 3 kingdoms factions that don't even line up with the game's original time periodsoulless
jesus christ
>>736513420Apparently he just got fucking bored and threw 4 games in a row.
>tfw im being watched
GUYS I THINK THE KING IS TOP RIGHT DONT LOOK
MODS = GODS AGAIN!
>>736513420script was called in
Based Mods
fuck you mods that scared the shit out of me
Pack it up guys, it's over
AYEEEE
BASED MODSBASED ALERT!!!!
>>736513467>4 in a row
>>736513383your guy is dogshit LOL
HE'S TOO BIG
I think Hera will win this gameBut holy shit
this game is TURKED
>>736513553Lierrey has eco and army advantage.
Imagine if this game gets SCORE'D as well.
AAAH
>>736513593But Hera has a FUCKTON of resources
>>736513436All the new factions from DE look like shit to me, along with the redesign.
why is he looking at me
WTF WHY IS THERE A KING ON MY SCREEN
>>736513593>7 relics
This is over...
terminal thrower
what are relics chat
>>736513593No he doesn't
You win this time Allah... but there's always a next time.
WOAH SHIP
>>736513593Hera has almost 20k more res collected, what eco advantage?
>>736513634>why don't you take a throne right over there
>>736513676An instrument?
>>736513676map objectives, monks can carry them back to your base and they generate resources
>>736513682well not anymore
>>736513676Neutral objectivesYou pick them up w monks and put them in a monastery and they generate 1 gold every 2 seconds, look at Hera's gold trickling in
GODDAMN IT, LARRY
god I wish I can bet on this game
aoe2 reminds me more of w3 where units are more posturing rather than actual fighting
lmao mods, nice one
OWARI DA
>>736513631I think they're all great with the obvious exception of 3KThey'll never be able to wash off that stain unless they take them out of the game entirely or move them to chronicles, which they're too prideful to do
>>736513676maps spawn a few little doodads called relics that you can pick up with a monk and bring back to a monastery and garrison it inside and as long as it's tucked in there you get a very slow trickle of gold which adds up over time. gold is important because the strongest military units almost invariably cost gold. hera collected all the relics on this map and they've given him 7500 gold so far and still going, which is huge.
Liereyy can still score victory, right bros...
>>736513793counters eat pretty quick
Liereyy is cooked
He got his mind crushed by the ending of the last game, sad
>>736513852They should add relic victory in with a timer longer than the match timer, just so the opponent gets a popup telling them they fucked up
Fire archers...
hera win ez
>>736513852wtf was lierry doing when hera took it all??? nvm looks like hes winning
gg Schizo anon was right
Lierey has no answer to the champions, it's over
being reverse swept 5 games in a row is a generational choke holy shit
Grim economy
>HUSS-ersThey're Huss-ARS, you FUCKS
>Hera losses were all quick due to misplays on Hera>Hera wins are all long drawn out showcases of pure superiorityI'm donning that tinfoil hat guys
>reverse sweep EZ>schizo theory was rightfuck this gay earth. I could have been filing my taxes
Was there really any doubt?
>zero on gold>40 in bankIt's over, larry lost score from taking attention from the front 2 minutes too early, he's not keeping the score lead for 20 minutes in this situation
I'm honestly happy that I slept in and missed the first 4 games. I don't need any false hope that Hera won't win.
>>736511646Or small town Korea
Why did liereyy never go for relics?
ZERO (0) on gold
Fortunately 3x3 comps are coming this year, so things will more interesting.
I'm so disheartened.. fuck..
>>736514107For the same reason he doesn't have water and he doesn't have most of the mapSkill difference
it's almost over
it's gg - just need to wait for Lierry to realize it
>>736514107I don't know, I feel like you should never let Hera have relics considering he's so resistant to being squashed in the long term.
>>736514107Because the last game broke him.
HAHAHAHAHAH I CHEERED FOR HERA ALL THIS TIME
>>736514107Larry was unfavorably trading a more expensive army for hera's cheap bullshit regardless this game, relics wouldn't have mattered
owari da
>>736514107Liereyy is genuinely only good at micro
Well, good matches.See you next Wololo..
100 HUSSAR RUSH GO GO GO
>>736514236never watching another one after this shit
>>736514107it should've been one of his priorities once he got water. It was ogre the moment Hera got his hands on them
COMPLETE AMERICAN CONTINENT SUPERIORITY
Asdadsadsafadgagbdagdfsad
THE CHOKE OF THE MILLENNIUM
GG
Hera the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)
From 0-3 to reverse sweep. Absolute cinema. The writers have outdone themselves. This script was fire.
>>736514272Actually this was a British victory
IT'S OVER
WELPhate to say itbut deserved
Hera played well. Liereyy started off great but fumbled. GG
>>736514236your posts made me want to watch this. see you next time anon
>>736514235even then...
>hera wins lolfuck this shit
Its over...
>what a turnaround>amazing to claw your way back>the most incredible comeback in aoe historyhmm.txt
>Larry's face when
gg
Liereyy might hang himself after this
Any guesses on how much he was paid to throw the first three to keep it interesting?
neat
rigged heraslop tourney
another year of hera (total)domination
I'm mentally raped
Losing at 3-5 is a clear skill difference
Jesus ChristSame energyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQSRuEwHKIk
We're all schizos now.
she sounds liek arnold schwarznigger KEK
Those Armenian Cory units are too strong.
The better player won tbdesu
>>736514339>liereyy 0 relics larry>liereyy what is flemish revolution larry
They should cut off heras pinkies to help balance the competition in the future
I don't know which competitive meta I hate more>herawinslolor>the era of Armada vs. Hungrybox grand finals in Melee
>>736514416sounds like the announcer of Pride (the MMA promotion, not faggotry)
>>736514318Hera is a Canadian that lives in Argentina. stay mad europoor
Building destroyers are slow as fuck, expensive, take 2 ages to access and promotes spamming building everywhere, even using them as walls. fuck this cheesy ass game.
Why do anon's hate Hera here? I don't watch enough to keep up with player lore other than just vaguely their skill level and playstyle. Is it just because he's currently on top, or that he favors defense?
Is VIper vs Hera worth watching?
>>736514496
Hera always manages to adept to his opponent to the point that the first 3 games don't ever matter
>>736514496he has won 15 (now 16) annual tournaments in a ROW!
>>736514496He's winning too much
>>736514496he's just too good and it kills the competition
>>736514452You weren't there when Viper was literally winning everything. And when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING even at weird maps and game modes other people were supposed to be specialists at including fatslob
>>736514496It's just boring to watch the same guy win every time. It's nothing personal against hera, would be the same for anyone.
>>736514496He wins everything, like literally everything
>>736514401I just watched someone lose 5 straight games and choke a 3 game lead in a tournament final and I have to be up in 2 and a half hours
i couldnt understand 1 word that the women said
>>736514496people just root for underdogs since its boring seeing the same guy win. its not that deep
>wo-lolo
>>736514378Liereyy doesnt even play ranked, he has no right to bitch.
>>736514496He's like Magnus Carlsen to Viper's Hikaru Nakamura, vibes and skill
>>736514496He is just too good
>>736514516
>>736514496He's so good, he's making the competitive scene stale and boring to watch.
I dropped this game after 3 kingdoms because it was gay and retarded and ruined the game with hero units and shit. Did they fix it or are you all just eating slop?
WHO CARES WHERE'S RILEYTHERE HE IS
>>736514564call in sick, after this you'll be able to convincingly fake a sickness
>>736514467he is saracen
>>736514496He's been winning every S-tier tourney for over a year so people wants someone else to win for a change
>>736514510Nah, The Diaper is washed as fuck.
Thank you anons for being here. Next time, whatever is the next big S-tier tournament!
This is the biggest chokejob I've seen since the last 2025 4cc Summer Cup final
The worst part is that RB Wololo won't be until 2028 now. I wish they'd keep it yearly instead.
>>736514612Bro the hero units never get used they're fucking garbage.
>>736512742Lol, lmao hope the Chinese ninjas get him for this shamefuru dispray
>>736514612Hero units are never used because they fucking suck and aren't worth fielding. I agree they're gay and retarded, as well as having three random China civs, but they didn't break any metas.
>>736514612the hero units are so overcosted nobody in their right mind makes them other than to style on someone after they already won
>thank YOU the aoe communitymy 1st time watching aoe
>>736514481Another balance patch is probably coming after this tournament, plus they already said that we are getting 3x3 comps too, so it is to guess which teams will be formed.Hera, Larry and +1 is pretty much confirmed>>736514496That fag is to AoE2 what Indycar, F1 and NASCAR had to deal with Max Versluppin, Alex Palou and fucking Joey Logano/Ryan Blaney dominance
>>736514612You're an emotional child, stay gone, nobody wants you.Heroes aren't even used by anyone lol.
At this point Liereyyy should consider pitching in MLB.
>>736514580Based Hera and his childbearing hips.
>>736514692We're pretty relaxed, it's a miracle the game still exists so every day is a blessing.
>>736514467>CanadianBritish, yes
>>736514692you are an aoe2 unc now
>>736514635your mother
>>736514670next month, May7
>>736514612It's okay, the hero units suck so no one uses them
>>736511902It's a lot of fun to play past a certain point but at the start it is pretty rough. I think stuff like BAR is easier to pick up since you can learn a basic build and start spamming shit for the rest of the game and you will still contribute a lot even when you don't know what you are doing.
>>736514715As a Cardinals fan this actually angered me, fuck you
>desperately trying to shove in aoe4 footageKek
warlords is next right? see you then!
I had so much fun with the finals.. I'm drunk as fuck right now due wine and beer. And I'm mad Larry threw the last few games like that, but goddamn they were tight regardless.Fuck. I love AoE2 so much as viewer. Hopefully next event is as much hyper, hopefully Hidden Cup this year!
>>736514675Yeah because the devs know in their heart of hearts that those civs and their gameplay was a retarded idea and balanced the heroes out of the game
>>736514516>just china at SAX Nations Cupdid the entirety of china come together to win the tournament wtf
>>736514496Wins literally every tournament, but it's also about how he wins. He's just so much more fundamentally solid and doesn't take risks, so the only way for anyone to take games off of him is to take risks themselves. Usually what happens is:>Hera is ahead>his opponent takes some sort of risk that gives them an advantage>Hera miraculously recovers and slowly chokes them to death with better micro / macroFor example, TTL5's grand finals had a game where Lierrey went Viking knights against Hera (Viking knights are terrible) AND raped his base AND denied a counter castle while he was raping his base, and then Hera just slowly worked his way back into the game over the next 40 minutes.It isn't a coincidence that Hera's 3 losses in this set were because he himself made mistakes.
>>736514516>>736514532Damn, I gleaned that he's been on a hotstreak but holy fuck that's a ridiculous recent record. I can see people thinking his playstyle is less boring than others, but at least with AoE2 the difference in player playstyle isn't as jarring as having to watch Hbox camp for half the tourney for the time he was on top (even if those matches do take much less time)
>everyone complaining about Hera >tfw nobody remembers Viper being so dominant they had tournaments that specifically barred him from entry just to give other players a fighting chance
>>736514737anon,Canada is Hindu and Britain is Muslim.Literally India and Pakistan situation
>>736514784Be there or be square
>>736514496He's just too good. But I'm happy that INFANTRY won the last game.
There's that Final Fantasy 9 outro flute song again, for the last time
>>736514815>He's just so much more fundamentally solid and doesn't take risks,Bruh he literally won that game 7 by placing the most daring forward castle I've seen in ages
>>736514815And obviously you're going to sympathize more with the player taking risks as an underdog, especially when it looks like they're going to pay off (they never do, lol)
schizo anon was right this shit scripted
>>736514784Yeah, May 7.Also 3x3 comps are happening soon, so hope the teams are good against Hera +2>>736514826the snek is washed up now
>>736514709Heart is literally in Team Vitality with Hera and LarryThe real question is what the fuck are Onimaru going to be doing with their 9 players
>>736514841Why are cats like this?

>>736514826now i'm remembering when they had a bunch of region locked tournaments in the sc2 days and koreans would move to the us to beat us up for the prize money
>>736512181>>736512193Has an active esport/sport been ever been killed by a player/team being too dominant? Usually it is the opposite. People like when there is a titan at the top. It makes the stakes of beating them much higher than during times where there is no clear player/team ahead of the rest (assumming that the vieweing experience is good and not a snoozefest like the Mercedes F1 era per example).
So when's that 3v3 tournament I saw people talk about? It sounds more interesting than your average 2v2 experience
>>736514928>Jordan isn't called Jordan>Vinchester isn't called VinchesterQuite disappointing desu
>>736514791it was really fun thanks for telling me about this event. see you anon. I still need to watch magical pokaan

anyone has a compilation of pic related artworks that moe-ifies aoe2 units?
>>736515036At least Viper's name is "aryan".

>>736514496I don't want to keep watching b-tier pros throw because they are incapable of doing damage and hera just booms into victory
I miss membs espanglish insane memecast commentary he is like those football commentators from better times :)
>>736515179Next tourney is all him casting.
>>736515115I mean yes, there's a song in FF9 OST that has very similar flute tones at the start for a good while, just like AoE2 OST has
>>736514826Viper dominated with micro, Hera is a macro fag that focus on map control, small leads and eco to win the long game.One make for entertaining spectacle, the other is almost 2h long slog.
>>736515136Why dont the other players just play better?

>>736512628It (as in AoE 2 specifically) is the Smash Melee of the RTS world. It isn't extremely popular but it will genuinely never die, even if the community has to take over to keep it alive like during pre-Definitive Edition times.

>>736515179He cast a bunch of games from this event, though. Just wish it was him + t90 for the finals.
>>736515229Mental midgetsThey see Hera and shits their pants
>>736515256AoE2 is soul
>>736515085nvm found sth https://imgur.com/gallery/age-of-empires-2-anime-dump-r3NmpBt>>736515235thanks but wanted something that had all the aoe2 related in one place
>>736515179I like they hypemanning, but since I'm not too knowledgeable I prefer the occasional bit where T90 actually gives some sort of extra insight instead of just yelling about whatevers in the middle of the screen
>>736515260Exactly kek
>>736515179>HES GOTTA BE CAREFUL WITH THOSE VILLIES>LOOK AT THE POPULATION>AYE AYE AYE
>>736515316T90 is more beginner friendly, yeah.
Ahhhhhhh I'm still so disheartened, but I realize the insane last two rounds that happened.. Whatever is the next big S-tier event, I will be there.Thank you anons providing so much fun today!!..
I don't know who it was but I didn't like that one commentator with the valley girl upward inflection.
>>736512992>Most of its popularity is banking on nostalgia from the 1999 version of AoE2If that was the case, its current state would be like that of any other It is a very good game different from most other RTSs with a diehard core fanbase that will keep it alive no matter what, and its resiliance has eventually led to a resurgence. Most other games would have just died 15 years ago.
>>736515304What's amazing is how it's managed to keep that soul even with the DE and expansions.Shit like Chronicles are just super duper soul too.
>>736515256Mods = Gods knew their assignment
>>736515362Warlords is May 7
>>736515281>>736515179They could've done something like alternate between commentator duos for the finals, or 3 in a row, then swap for other 3Memb brings the hype like no other AoE caster
>>736515362this anime was actually very mediocre except 1-2 episodes overall
>>736515085Artist is called kabewski and has a xitter account. He's still ongoing with the aoe2 character fanarts.
>>736515398Well the reason people were nostalgic about the game was because it was actually pretty cool, and Microsoft updating it with new content is one of the few remaining good things to come out of the company.
>3-0 to 3-4From 1 to 10 how likely do you think the finals were fix'd?
>>736513278Tbdesu I'll always be pro-Hera to an extent from so many years of seeing him go up against Viper until he took over. The Viper vs Hera matches during the last stretch of Viper being on top was some of the greatest videogame-related entertainment I ever watched.
>>736515467Fuck you, the anime was really fucking fun comedy.
>>736515403I doubted for a moment with the chinese stuff, but they brought me back again with the new expansion, luv me champi, luv me poison arrow, luv me settlement, simple as
Has liereyy even played chinese civs before, I bet DauT told him they were good and he just went with it
>>736515507He probably got paid extra to lose those first games so he wouldn't just sweep on Larry and make it unconfortable to everyone involved.Should've lost the viking game and won the last two thought, that was bullshit.
This is the first AoE2 tourney I tapped into. Is this something like CSGO where the same person/team wins literally every single time so there is no point in watching again?
>>736515403All i want from chronicles is Romans getting those Siege ballistas because they are in need of better siege weaponry
>>736515229I touch my penis to this picture. Armpits should be hairier though
>>736515467It has to have SOMETHING since it convinced Seismic to develop a porn game for like 100 years
Vilijers...
>>736515619Its Liru, even zone fell for her
>>736515362Until the next tournament or ESA summer
>>736515609It is Herawinslol, viper is washed up the only one who doesn't get sweeped is Liereyy
>>736515612Don't they have the best scorpions in the game? Not that it matters since I've always used scorpions a a slow archer replacement
>>736515619Seismic Cats Attacks! was better.
>>736514826Those viper years were kino though. There were so many matches where he was behind just pulled victory out of his ass through outplay after outplay.Hera is much better at just getting ahead and holding steady, so his dominance isn't as fun.For CSfags like me, it's like comparing the Fnatic era to the Astralis era.
>>736512628It gets a lot of updates, but the biggest and most important thing is that it's a constant stream of support for modes that go beyond competitive play. There are a lot of new campaigns, custom campaigns and co op shit on top of the typical game modes
>>736515609This time that same guy pretended to lose some games for the people who paid to go to the event
>>736515753No one used scorpions during this comp
>>736515872I just drank some green tea
>>736515609Even if the final result is the same you can get some enjoyment out of the other games being played leading to the finals. Or just watch out for popcorn disasters.
>>736515619Just because I love Eri and I think of her every day of the week that doesn't mean MHA is a good anime.
>>736515872That's why Larry lost, should have drafted Khmers
>>736515609VitalityGODS win everywhereBut to answer in CS terms, Viper used to have an era then there was a kino chaos period 2020-2022 then began Hera era
>>736514481Trebuchets/rams being slow is ok, but regular units should be better at raiding buildings.Buildings have always been durable as fuck, you'll struggle vs fucking foundations if there are enough villagers.I'm sure you can find tons of recopilations of players using gates+houses to trap enemy units and they have no hope to get out in time to get any damage done
Water, need water, gulp gulp water>>736515424I don't think I've tuned to previous Warlords but I'll try this time.>>736515697Yeah! Not that far away now is it!
>>736515609If you watch to show who wins, you're doing it wrong. You can just check liquipedia later.You should watch it for exciting games and we had those, incredible emotions.
>>736515609We're at era of Hera domination, who's generally winning everything, and Lierrey who's the closest at beating him but not quite. Then you have some wildcards like MBL who, when mercury is in retrograde, can beat everyone in the world by playing the game super unconventionally but he's inconsistent af.
>>736516097If you watch to see*
is this game worth the current price tag as someone who exclusively played this on the highschool computers like 15 years ago
>>736516236Easily, yeah
>>736515609The person at the top in AoE2 has historically dominated way harder than most top CS teams.But still, AoE2 is an amazing viewer experience across all levels of play and even outside the esports setting.If you only care about who is at the very top you will likely get bored, but if you manage to care about the game at all, you will enjoy watching it.

>>736516306Thats literally chel
>>736515959DE FOOD ECONOMY IS GON
>>736516306Has he done the kamayuk? I haven't checked his profile since cataphracts
>>736516340You say that as if it was a bad thing.
>>736516340what is wrong with that?
>>736516236It is well worth for 35 dollars, buy dlcs on sale
>>736516387Not yet
Viper winning felt fun, Hera winning is just a slog. He doesn't take any risks whatsoever unless he's far behind (never) and just always outmicros people forever (except for that thanes match)
I like to watch pro aoe but sometimes tier2 or even just arena clowns are even more fun
For me, it's Low Elo Legends
Its crazy that daut won the RB like 4 years ago. That Daut wouldnt go past group stage nowadays
>>736516482how is it his problem when the game is designed/balanced that way
>>736516596Daut has been having eras of being competitive and eras of being beyond washed for a while kek.
>>736516596Yeah I can't believe how he did it either, I guess last comeback of 38yo at the time.
>>736516450fixed
>>736516482>unless he's far behind (never)This is the main thing with him. He never has to take risks and do big outplays the way Viper used to do because no one is putting him against the ropes.He has simply left the rest of the scene behind and the others need to catch up.
>>736516737No you fucking didn't, where's the huge aureolas peeking out of the vest?
>>736516737>removing her 10 packRUINED.
>>736516496Unlike most games, AoE is fun to watch at all levels. It is a huge part of how it managed to stay alive during the years where it was basically an abandoned IP.
We reached three full threads.. Based..
>>736516647It's just a bit sad that the game rewards super boring play so much more than interesting and fun experimental stuff.
Hera is fun to watch, yeah, I don't like the Canadiens either, but I'm not going to pretend like I hate the guyThe games were fun
I say, good show
I had so much fun past 5 days, I can't stress it enough. Thanks anons for caring about what's actually fun still.
Just got into this game. Do they do this tournament in London every year? I might go to it next year if that's the case
>>736517156No, last Wololo was in Spain, before that in Germany for 2 times, in actual castles.
Nobody throws like Lierrey. I am so angry and disappointed in myself for believing
The burgundians game. Just can't believe it
>>736517204He is a good player but he has shit stamina. Can't keep up with Hera who never gets tired.But don't worry we all believe he can make it some day.
>>736517204He needs to work on his macro so bad
>>736517317His macro is immaculate lol. The best in the game. It's just that he gets tired faster than other pros.
>>736517281>>736517516He needs a good aderall dealer and a couple months of daily 12 hour ladder grind sessions.
>>736517696And people need to start banning Romans when going against Hera. They're much harder to deal with than Persians.
>autosage is upIt was a good time lads, see you all at the AoE threads or May 7
Sinking..
>>736517862Good bye brother, play some games in the meantime.
Are these games uploaded somewhere after? I didn't watch any but these threads seemed fun.
>>736517862Head over to the /vst/ general bros.
i dont think anyone who built handcannoneers won their game? they need a buff
>>736518096You're right
>>736518096The one Turk game didn't last enough into Imperial and for some reason Bohemians didn't get picked. Burgundians Larry built 0 HCs which was a huge shame vs that enormous Pikemen army...
>>736517060why does he look like Jeremy Clarkson with a wig
>>736518334It's from 1½ years ago I think, I think anon had that in mind when he did that.
I hope there's Wololo next year instead of a break year.
>>736518334Because it was an early free video model, which gets trained a lot on television and Jeremy Clarkson's huge amount of material made him one of the few people that could be directly prompted well, so everyone started using him as a standin in every prompt
>>736518221bohemians got picked by yo but he lost. liereyy built 2 handcannoneers but he probably misclicked and meant to get skirms lol
¨
>>736518000nice trip!See y'all!
Just few threads away now.. nooo..>>736519005See you anon..
the first 2 larry games were the absolute peak of aoe2. It's always amazing to witness perfection and ultimate flow state. You could tell it was impossible to win
