That monologue, betrayal, and round of failure to win by everyone was the craziest pov win I've ever seen in a board game.

The last 10 minutes of this game are hype af. Dylighted: Blue will need to draw 4 out of 5 VPs to win the game Blue: Hold my beer

This is the best game in recent Catan history. Anyone’s game at the end.

Some shower thoughts: -Blue is the only one that needs to be kicking themselves, not trying to secure a single settlement spot put them into a "So near, yet so far situation." Eventually he was stuck on 9 points max, due to no VPs being left in the pile. -Dice stats were crazy this game!! 8s were rolled 16 times, which at times could instantly bring 10 Ore to the table. Dylan was the ONLY non-beneficiary of those rolls. Comparatively, 7s were only rolled half as much - 8 times. Dylan's best number, the coordinated 6s for road - only rolled 7 times total. Strong numbers that were shared by the same 3 people from the start, (except Dylan once again) were the 5s and 10s, which only rolled scarcely alongside the 9. 11s were rolled way above the usual average, providing Dylan and Boromir an edge for their respective Brick and Sheep ports. +despite being a skewed board due to innate low wool production (only available on 10-11-12 tiles), resource stats showed that while Ore was the most plentiful resource to hit the players' hands (around 90), the other 4 resources were basically distributed equally (60 of each). For Math geeks, stats and graphics with curves like those are basically a feast for the eyes, artistically speaking. A very intense match, with lots of nail-biting moments until the very last roll of the dice. Loved it 10/10.

This was a roller coaster of emotions

Can’t lie that colonist sponsor part was clean af, that must’ve taken ur editor ages

You finally played someone who out table talked you and didn't let you get crazy trades.

I’m gonna predict an L, I’m sorry. I’m willing to eat my humble pie if I’m wrong

The only thing that was higher than my heart rate throughout the game was the number of dev cards blue bought xD

When you didn't hold the road I screamed

Damn that was a WILD ride. What a BANGER to end off the series!

bro the hype at the end was thru the roof

I laughed my ass off when you bought the knight after such intro...

Dude that was the best video I have seen in ages! The music and the hero monologue really got me hooked and I for sure thought you lost that game. You deserve this like more than anyone!

Glad this is out! Great perspective looking back on this. Congrats again on the win! Also the Colonist sponsor spot was fun!

Holy shit that might have been the most epic ending ever

Finally, been waiting foreverrr. Clicked once I saw!

Great game - your patience was off the charts! That table talk from Anora was super targeted at you

I don’t see how you’re going to win this one DyLighted. As you said, everyone else has an absolute monster setup. However, you’ve shocked me multiple times before on this channel, so I’m excited to see what wily tricks you pull.

i was looking forward to this video with commentary since i first watched the game a few weeks ago! super close and exciting one!

I don't even know the rules, have never played catan, never even heard of it until one day YT randomly recommended ur channel. Epic game. Great content.

This was a true anime battle. I have never been more hyped and stressed in my life

Exciting ENDING! You nailed the monologue with the rollercoaster of emotions.

The most hype game of Catan I've ever watched. Congrats DyLighted!

Awesome video! That was the closest game I've seen. I think you were drawing dead on your last pull, because green already had his two VPs, and I think Blue already had three. Blue was definitely drawing dead on his last turn. There was literally no way for him to win the game. Orange or green still could have won with a city (or green also with two more roads and a settlement). But your ports made all the difference. At the end, you could upgrade faster than them. Well played!

If you get a road building and a yop from devs and you dont build a settlement as pure ows, you deserve blue's fate! Great game, great video and congrats on the tournament win dyl!

Honestly DyLighted, been watching your vids since last spring. They have come so far and this is the most hype one yet, can't wait to see what you do next!

This was so epic to watch. I absolutely loved that speech at the end with the music. You are insane!!!

OMG! Congrats on the win. What an intense game with everyone else at 9 points. Great content as always. Been loving these high stakes matches on twitch and here on YT.

Wow, this was a nutty game. Well done man, this was amazing to watch!

It took me 10 minutes to pick up what tune it was even though I knew I had heard it before and then I remembered it was from an old Wild West movie and I was at the height of my excitement The best western of all time the good the bad and the ugly. I saw this video on Retired Hero's KZfaq site so when Delighted asked if he would win I already knew the answer.

You are such a great creator! You provide higher quality videos than million subscribers channels.

when you gave up 8 5 10 you gave 4th pos a potentially really strong set up, where he could've taken 8 ore 5 brick 10 sheep right road and 8 ore 5 wood 10 sheep up road, a 5 in the first few rolls would guarantee a road to get to sheep port and then just a quick trade for wheat after more of his spaces roll would let him settle and get a nice amount of wheat from sheep port since 10 isn't a terrible chance of rolling - found this channel a few days ago and already understand Catan a lot better so I really appreciate your efforts :)

Bahaha the Megalovania track really drove home the 'final boss' feel of this game - I've been watching for the better part of a year now, and your video editing has gotten really impressive! Well done with this win!

I just stumbled across your channel today, and I must say: I'm sold. I've never actually watched any online boardgaming (been playing plenty irl recently though, so that's probably the algorythm working for ya). Do you also play boardgames irl? If so, what are some of your favorites and why? Love the vibe, your pauses to explain stuff, the chat,... Keep it up! Love it!

Love the musical hype at the end! Several turns before the end, you built penultimate city, but did you consider pulling for a VP? If you had got the VP then you could have taken road for the win that turn. And if you pulled something else then the dev card would have informed what you did with the rest of your cards to maybe win the next turn?

As a intermediate/advanced player, I and a lot of others probably would appreciate a video about how to track cards well and any techniques you use. Great videos btw, keep it up.

The range of emotions in this video is breathtaking.

WOW what a great series!! Congrats on the First tournament win! VERY well deserved.

The most epic emotional roller coaster I’ve seen in a while 😂

28:16 I think Ludwig has forever cursed this song with bad luck lol

trade offer: Anora gets a settlement. Dy gets a city Anora: "nah man it's just too costly, can't let you get a city man"

Hey man just wanted to say love your effort that goes into each of these videos - it's clear you really care and try hard to make great content!!

Well played with that tough position. Those trades were insane. I was surprised blue almost pulled off the 4 VP win.

This was everything that I wanted it to be and more

You will win this game. But I knew that since I watched the whole game on your twitch channel. What a game and a great advert for the Catan community! The best game was truly saved for the last!

You do have a knack for pulling out crazy wins, but ovjectively at game start I don't see you winning. I agree now with your observation that the 8-10-5 was better giving you more possibilities for a good second placement. Hope you win though

This is some of the best KZfaq I've seen in a long time. Well done sir...well done.

yatiyati did great job editing this video! cool animation for colonist.io haha👍 love your after game analysis regarding better placement better strategies etc!🤓 this will be another video I'd watch multiple times😆😆

Holy Toledo that was the best game of Catan I’ve ever witnessed. You are GOATED

That’s insane !!! Crazy game bro. Lol that monologue was epic yo!!

I predict a win! It will take some luck but you seem to always pull it off! Fingers crossed!

I predict an L the setup is rough. Orange seems to have the best early setup but the luck of rolls comes in play. I played a game a couple of days ago where no 8s or 10s rolled the entire game and I lost as a result. Great videos very informative and helpful!

Im shook. Best game I ever witnessed. Beautifully played Dylan!

Was so much fun to watch live I couldn't resist watching it again, definitely the best game/video I've seen from catan, keep up Dylan!

That could be the best game of Catan Ive ever seen. Amazing music too, what a thriller!

You can't table talk me dylighted, 100% you win this game

Predicting a loss. Not sure if this is metagamming but pre 5 minutes when there is a lot of commentary on mistakes, especially the 2nd settlement spot mistake it is more indicative of a loss and looking back on the game to see what to do better.

Holy Crap Dude! ive never been so hyped for a match. that was badass.

Great vid. Love this format! Nice win.

I watch you also on twitch but don't have an active account. Your streams are very entertaining. I just wanted to encourage you to feel comfortable doing chill streams. I think that's kind of the main difference between KZfaq and Twitch. Streaming can be more laid back, experimental, variety. If you want to keep a schedule, it doesn't have to be a big event. In any event, keep up the good work sir.

I love the amount of effort you bring in to your videos! You explain to the noobs like me how to play and it is always intense matches. Love it!

Ik I'm late to the party but this is the most insane catan game I've ever seen so hyped

Man, I have tears in my eyes from laughter of enjoyment after watching this vid. You ROCK dude

This is some OG Dylan with the comment activity. You made such good content wish the game had more traction so you would have more enticement to create content.

Wow. What an emotional rollercoaster!

Oh man that was amazing hahaha! So glad you popped up on my suggested. Subbed

That was such an amazing payoff victory, man. hahaha. Congrats on the tournament W!!!

This was the greatest Catan video that has ever, and will ever, be made

1:03 so the first thing that strikes me about this board is that sheep are actually strangely scarce, especially compared to ore, which got 11 pips in just three tiles. So part of me favors the idea of going with the 9 10 11, to secure strong wheat and rare-ish sheep. The ideal follow-up would be to get the 548, but that's unrealistic. I think you can be flexible here, which is really important when you're going early in the rotation. If there's a good eight ore spot left unblocked, then you can go ore wheat sheep. If not, trying to get on wood and brick (any of the many options next to the 5 brick) for the free road, and using it plus your setup's good compatibility with settlement building in order to get to a nearby port also seems like a reasonable plan. (I originally mentioned the sheep port, but if sheep are scarce then you don't really want the sheep port because you want to be trading it to other players.)

That ending was hilarious and epic af!!!! Had me laughing out loud so hard hahaha. You're the man

JUST AN INCREDIBLE GAME. Sharing with all my buddies. Cheers!

This is the most intense game of any board game I’ve ever seen 😭

The end was really tight! Great play and great choice of music 👌

bro that fucking speech was legendary! You're such a good entertainer.

First time watching these high level games. It's a lot more vocally aggressive than what I expected. People properly getting into it.

it always amazes me strikingly similar all catan game negotiations sound. Great gameplay.

Most intense catan video ever you are goated dylighted

Well done DyLighted! Had me at the edge of my seat the entire time. Well deserved!

I thought you were going to lose. I liked the video when you went into the epic monolog thinking all was lost and then the most epic win, what a video!

What a video man! Keep up! Ιt was as anxious as if I were playing...

You are a god at this game HOW DID YOU WIN THIS

Your table talk is rather tame for playing with randoms.. I can't imagine what my conversations would be like if I could talk with the players in my matches xD

Watched the awesome coverage of this game from RetiredHero and still really enjoyed this first person POV. Super exciting game!

My first instinct was the 6/3/9 because wood is so common it'll be easy to trade for, there's not too much wheat on the board either, and the brick port is nearby. But as I was typing this up I changed my mind to the 8/5/10 on the right because it also has brick, it has the relatively rare sheep, and you're likely to get locked out of ore since there's only about two good spots with it left on the board. edit: nice edit: I think orange has the best setup, hard to guess who'll win though

Supporting Dylighted, I think i would have died of a heart attack if i watched this game live. What a game!! gg

Second position - 8-5-10 (ore, brick, sheep) - u get the rare brick, the great 8 ore and a pretty good sheep. You also have a lot of production!

I knew you were going to win but I still hit the like ;) amazing win despite questionable placements !!!

Pause #2... Well I don't exactly like your initial setup, but I think you're going to win, seeing as the series was called best tournament run ever... I'll give it a like anyways though even if I'm right...

What a game! That section from 27:35 onwards.. made my day lol. What a rollercoaster ride!

I think that your going to win. You don’t have a terrible setup. I think that your going to get the longest road and build on some nice ports. Although the others have good spots, I still think that you will win

The game was so intense I have to reheat my food now because I forgot to eat. Well played!

When a random guy tells you in chat "you cry if you don't place on ore" you should believe him. But then again, you won, so i am a noob you are a god.

20:25 - He has 2 tiles of ore, both on 8. That block wouldnt stop blue from getting enough ore for dev cards, he most likely just wanted to stop as much production as possible and also steal from you.

Give us more videos like these! I was so hyped in the end!

“You have by far the most danger position right now”, my brother in Christ

I love the dramatic giornos theme. Fit right at home

I'm not sure if you win or lose, but I'll like your vid anyways. Great content as always!

"He doesn't seem like the listening type" Funny to point that out, you're totally right
