Training arc completed, I guess

2024: attacks with huntresses at 9 min game time lol

Feels like Goku and Vegeta dynamic

​@@Carpatouille c'mon dude. Goku and Jackie Chun is right there for the allegory

A true master is an eternal student

the 21st budukai!

Proceed to playing Grubby

The game:

​​@@zhuzhong74if his mmr is high enough to queue into Grubby, he can deal with the lost just fine

ok but en passant makes logical sense- like if you have a soldier with a spear/some other polearm (which is what pawns represent) and an enemy soldier is trying to rush past you, you're gonna stab him, it's why you can only make en passant on the turn after the other person moved their pawn, and only that turn- it basically represents the pawnA attacking the pawnB at the same time when the pawnB was trying to rush past the pawnA, and if you do something else on that turn, you can't then en passant 3 turns later when you finally have a position ready- the opportunity has passed, the pawnB is no longer trying to rush past the pawnA's pike.

@@IndependentObserver Ok smartie, then why the queen is stronger than any knight, militia or a cleric? or a building?????

@@martin-dw 1. It used to be a lot weaker- the "queen" piece was either a lame bishop- only going 1 square diagonally in all directions, or a lame rook, it was only buffed in the XV century "Spain" patch. 2. Because it's not a queen. English language is ret***ed and that's how you translated it, but in the original Iranian it was a wazir- which, at the time when chess was becoming a thing, was a high ranking military commander and a counsellor. Other countries- ex. Poland still keep that and call that chess piece "hetman" which historically used to be their high ranking military officer. Basically, if we were to go back to the old naming scheme from before Queen Isabel's reign- we wouldn't call that piece a "queen", but a "field marshal", which would also explain why pawns can turn into one- as we all know, "all soldiers carry a marshal's baton in their knapsack." and stop the tumblr users from creating harem fanfics about chess.

@@IndependentObserver i mean, still is game it doesn't have to make sense, like i dont think (maybe in that era worked like that) that a high rank military commander fight better than a guy that is fighting all the day. And talking about language. in spanish The bishop is called "alfil" that means in arabic "the elphant" but to us means literally nothing aside of the chess piece, and the knight? to us is just "caballo" that means "horse" so isn't as, you know, fancy

​@IndependentObserver Why is the tower (Rook) called after a bird?

Damn! Thats so cool. Likewise

Yeesssss

Feels like Vegeta who trains for 3 years to train Goku only to discover that Goku can turn into SS3. And he even didn't use that form against him.

literally destroyed the poor guy and was a step ahead at all times, the guy was playing way too passive

lmao

It is probably impossible to defend once the batriders attack. You punish the cheese before it is too late. At around 8 minutes, Grubby had zero units and a level 1 hero. Just attack his base

A few towers, DH/Panda with Orb and tele staff, dryads, creep the map. And excellent micro and macro, of course

There is no more old version, what you're watching is WC3 Reforged. In the options menu of the game, there is a toggle to switch to classic visuals.

It's probably that Grubby did not underestimate him this time the first game, and the second game he was already broken from the first game

He played meta

Only OG players would know grubby/pro players will only go harder in the rematches xD

Mercy

Lamborghini, she so thirsty!!

Depending on how focused Grubby is he might speak less which would make for quite a quiet stream. Also I think a lot of people feel nostalgia for the wc3 sounds and enjoy hearing them
