28:39 *"I'm really new when it comes to technology" ~ T90* That explains why he has been playing AoE2 for all these years. Never figured out how to download a new game.

age of empires... the only place where make your castle inside the enemy territory is a valid strategy

That last game with Ruben being the boom player and Matt taking the more supporting role. I was totally caught off guard by how well that went. I thought for sure that it would be trouble for Finland, but they showed very decisively that they could switch roles at the drop of a hat and still do almost just as well. A very well-earned victory. I'm so happy, seeing probably the most prominent game of my childhood is still going stronger than ever today. Even entering the modern e-sports culture and having such a great competitive scene almost a full 20 years after its initial release.

New drinking game: take a shot every time T90 says it's gonna be GG and the game keeps going

crazy to see a game from my childhood is still, if not more relevant today lol

Can't Rubenstop the Rubenstock Rubenstomp.

The longer video is really nice because I can't accidentally get spoiled on when the last game is going to end based on the length of the video. It's probably a big hassle, but editing in a random amount of just blank time at the end would be appreciated .

I’m glad I found this in my recommended section. Used to love this game back in the day. It’s nice to see people still play it nowadays, specially in such a high level :)

1:24:05 hard to say if Max actually PLANNED on it, but Lyx destroying his own lumber camp in order to escape/keep up in the vil fight was simply hilarious. Totally understandable brain fart for Lyx there

Well deserved win for the Fins. No matter what people say though, I believe that Rubenstock was the MVP of the event. His ability to harass and be an absolute thorn in people's side no matter the situation fit TheMax perfectly, and in the last game we also saw that he can do TheMax' role perfectly. He truly was the most flexible player in the entire event, all thanks to his unrelentless tenacity, and although he certainly isn't the best of all at traditional play he showed to be the perfect player for this event. All hail Rubenstock, dropper of TCs! Cheers from Norway!

OMG .. Game4 was best one ever! I like Winland gameplay - they keep on doing insane stuff and win. They are real AOE masters.

It's past 4 am here and I was finally about call it a day, but then this appeared! Sleep has called gg! (:

I don't even know there is AoE tournament before seeing this video. Bring back memory and am amazing how AoE pvp can be. Really nice match!!!

Such a great series! Since I can only watch aoe on KZfaq and not twitch it’s great to have most of the games in this series uploaded to KZfaq.

i swear my plan was to quickly scroll through the video and i watched it all, i'll sub for that

Slightly late comment but wow, am I happy I found your channel. My favourite game and I was sooo not aware that it was still being played... Great stuff so thanks for the upload.

2:45:00 the game basically won,seeing there is a pot more time we in the video, breaking my brain worrying HOW one could throw this, turns out they just do an interview at the end xd

TheMax is a frightening beast. TheViper is amazing - especially his technical understanding. But I don't know anymore who is scarier in a TG - Especially if TheMax is a cavalry civ. Rubenstock is perfect for a team game. He is unbelievably random and has no regard for meta from what I can tell. And he's mentally tough for what I have seen him play.

Amazing man, thank you so much!

“Thank you for the resub FantasticMidget”

Was watching the VOD for this last night, hours after I fell asleep I was awoken by the Hidden Cup Trailer. I was too tired to open my eyes but I listened to the whole thing, smiled and went 'nice', and fell back asleep.

I've been hyped for the 48 hour stream the entire time and at the end I saw it's scheduled for 22nd and realized you upload it a few days late, wew

What an amazing series!!

T90 thx for your gread Work! Keep going :-) its alway nice to watch your casts. Greetings from Germany And mery Xmas to everybody

Such a cool series of games. Go Finland.

Legend of Rubenstock... damn, he can do it all. And Max with the boom

OMG this was soooo exciting, congratulations to Winland, love them uwu

Rubenstock best MVP of all tournaments ever!! What a beast 😎 so much courage . Also, funny how both Chinese players were playing without TC in chaospit xd Also thanks for longer video! No spoilers thanks to that (and avoiding comment section).

wicked series subbed

Really enjoyed this world cup man! Thanks for the great videos.

Great set ! Great casting!

I've just watched WOLOLO 2020 Semi-Finals and Grand Final and next on Autoplay was this........ WOW!!!!!! I never even knew there WAS an AoE2 World Cup. Geeeeez, where have you guys been hiding?

Congrats to Finland on a great tournament! Norway and China series were some great watches.

Big fan here of AOE I & II Definitive and Original Eds. Keep it up!

Great teamwork. :)

Wow I'm learning so much from this vid

In their hands, villagers actually have combat power, and are way more powerful than cavaliers.

Didn’t even know this was a thing! Nostalgic game!

Hyvää suomiii ❤️😍Happy Finland

Every day is a school day. The ebb's and flows of high level gaming. The fire boat strat was most enjoyable. Long may you stream.

And now almost two years later, China A represented by Yo and Lyx manage to win the 2020 2v2 WC. Funnily enough with a score of 4-2 !

Just brought aoe 2 hd from my child hood this is better than new games

Chaos pit, hilarious game

gr8 games gr8 commentary

Really nice! Was pretty rubenstocked about the TC fights! And also, so much rubendocks on that strange map. Shame that the video rubenstops

good tournament congratulations Finland 👏

Winland!! Wooo

Thanks for another fantastic stream T90. You're the best in the biz man. And congrats to Finland. WP guys. (Oh, and Yo is MVP or the tourney? Lol. Yea. No. Rubenstock for MVP. #Clearly)

Let's not forget TheViper offering up his water buffalo to TheMax for peace on water nomad in the semi finals. Classic play

24:04 Actually he attacks ground a few frames before the castle is placed

FYI on France. "Out of 168 battles fought since 387 BC, they have won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10", making France the most successful military power in European history-in terms of number of fought and won.[1][2]." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_France

Call gg before your units die? Did the point gain during the game (show on end screen) change the value of win/loss?

The feeling when I have the old CD version from before The Conquerors DLC, and one after that DLC came out, and the Steam version including all the DLCs and here I am watching videos about the game as well... does this count as an addiction? xD

I didn't even think this was a thing but now let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Awesome cup. Well deserved win for Finland . the insanity of the double tc drop was my highlight.

How often is this held? When will be thenezt World Cup? 2020 maybe? I guess there won't be any in 2019 since the DE is still pretty new and changes need to be made...

Game 4 so many people saying in chat how stupid Rubenstock was for not following through the wood line when it happened. Finland had a massive advantage at this point in the game obviously, they could tell by the score and by what Lyx was doing with his villagers that he had no town center or lumber camp. They knew they had an insane villager lead, they did the smart thing by taking the highest percentage chance to win the game which was to take your massive lead and boom off it knowing that both chinese players are going to be stuck in the same corner of the map with way fewer villagers and far less resources. The only reason the game even went this long was because Yo wouldn't let it go.

China forcing Winland to play by the books DAMN

This is dope

God I hope this game never dies.

Well that was interesting!

Saw the vid in my recomended, called some friends over, booz and weed bought, food ready...... lan party night. o7

Let's celebrate the winner immediately after Xmas, OK? Meet at 'The Place'. That was amazing run for both teams, came so close several times. Exactly the way you'd want to end the Series!

GGs!!

just got into AOE, which should i get the remastered or the original?

you should make highlights videos from the tournament

We need the Finns as a new civ in the next expansion

Wish you would use the zoom function now and then, to give a better overview without jumping around. looking at the minimap is difficult

Hello T90 , I have been following your streams on youtube likee crazy......I just wanted to know from where I can download the AOE2 version which you host and how to play it online ??

I think the reason Mr. Yo was able to be MVP of the tournament was because of Lyx. Lyx could really screw over everyone else, and that led to Yo carrying later. Both the games that Finland wiped out Lyx (Bedouins and the Nomad) were games that China lost since they could take Lyx before Yo got his insane late-game rolling. Reubenstock was really key to this because he in some way almost neutralized Lyx's crazy with his own (a demo on demo situation)

I played AoE2 a lot when I was a kid. Not on this level though :D

Having never watched this game before, and not having played this game much either, this is kinda difficult to follow.

I know that sleep schedule though, doing after my night shifts, cant wait till your break is over ;)

i used to play this game and i loved it

I started playing aoc again after so many years. Are the top players like daut still playing aoc?

It's funny how sheep are waiting for their turn to be slaughtered.

this game is so enteraining

hello which of the age of empires 2 game series

How to make a tuetonic healing fortress near impervious to physical attacks - imperial age, fully upgraded: 29 tuetonic knights, 21 hand cannoneers, 10 monks. Square formation, stand ground. pair up this group with 20-30 teutonic knights, 60 pallies split into two groups of 30. Use alongside siege units to take down ranged units en'mass and save lots of gold

Damn, just look at the destruction animations, they should do this to the other childhood games like arcanum or so

@1:27:18 had Rubenstock know about the financial condition of lyx for wood , he would have gone for one more tc drop😅

Never tc drop when playing vs rubenstock

The popularity of this video inspired another 2v2 national tournament. 2020 AoE2 World Cup 2v2 is coming!

wish i continued playing this game. i remember doing 2 vs 6 amd held my own. miss it

Rubenstock MVP of the set

@1:01:20 "I made a promise that if you guys support me enough I will do something in return for you, but (oooobviously) I was not thinking you would end up holding your end of the bargain, so now, even though you all supported me, I am going to totally bail on my part". Good Guy Tristan.

hello can anyone give em the link to download the game please

Are they playing with map reveal on?

Age 2 aged so well, sometimes I am a bit sad that age 3 did not recieve nearly as much appreciation from players, even thou the game is not bad at all.

Do u have this replay for download?

How the game end?

Was watching the Match but got distracted by the argument in the chat between notverylove and other people. 21:20

what does idle stay for?

How do I play this game on PC? Any help would be much appreciated

19:36 buttlicks is stabilizing

About France's so called bad military record, I honestly would have imagined AoE2 players to have enough historical knowledge to know it was the complete opposite during most of history.

Good game.

Yo's castle game 1 in Max's base. Thats what won the game took all max's gold

what is that online gaming server???

what was the pricepool?
