I didn't expect me to spending hours of my free time in 2023 at my 28's by watching a guy playing W3. Especially because i don't watch streamers at all. But i have to say, Grubby, watching your games, is one of the best way to connect with my childhood, because you bring joy and reckless foolishness in the game and you are fair, funny and very polite to opponents. It's something so rare in streaming scene now, that watching you feels absolutely relaxing. Thanks for your work, and i wish for you that you will keep enjoying what are you doing.

Instructions: Step 1: Collect wood on enemy base Step 2: ? Step 3: Win

My opinion in the first game is that he gathered wood on the enemy base and won. So the strat works.

The Acolyte's "Where should my blood be spilled", was taken to the next level.

"He doesn't want me to touch his wood. I see. He's millitiously responding"😂

Seriously imagine trying your hardest, gryphons the whole nine and someone bodies you with some heroes and acolytes

No human player ever sounded the bells without militias intent.

Workers in sc2: okay, we will sacrifice half of our union to help in defense of a 5 min attack Workers in wc3: WILL FIGHT TIER 3 UNITS FOR FOOD

Love the look of actual relief on his face and how heel leans back in his chair after that game. S rank video. Had so much fun watching this~.

We need to tell 120 and Happy about this OP strategy.

Why did you build the necropoli at home instead of rushing with them? Then you would have had blight at his base and been able to collect wood there.

funfact: acolytes are one of the most costeffective units in the entire game.

This game was like one of those 2+ hours long dota matches. As after that point there are no winners, only 10 people who wasted hours of their life. Also I think he should have respeced into thunderclap after the 30th acolyte.

19:50 Gavinrad the Dire got into quite a dire situation

Sounds like the gobbler strat from ol' times. A friend of mine would make a few whisps, two to be exact, send them closer to the enemy base and make ancient of wars, since they move slow as snail I supposed bringing the whisp closer and then build them around the enemy base tree line to gain some time, then literally start to GOBBLE away all the trees until they're eventually found out but you'll basically cut down a ton of wood from behind the enemy base, forcing expansion. The absolute madman would also spend a lot of time just eating what tree was in his way, even on his own expansions, after all he had wood in his base, he a NE. His mission to literally peel the entire map off trees but his main base was such a chef kiss, my face when I went to expand and found a lonely fat ancient of war eating away around sleeping creeps trees. And they said Orcs are anti nature. Such annoyingly deforestation.

dude i laughed hard like 4 times in ten mins, you were hilarious in this one

That ghoul strat is OP! It was what like 3 min to the game and opponent crashed. Marvelous

I saw on stream the acolythe part. I coudl've never imagined it started off as this

19:47 Holly Hacks 😱

I have no idea what I just witnessed, but I am glad to have witnessed it.

Honestly, would have been funny to try and get enough lumber from your opponents base to build a Frost Wyrm. The ultimate flex.

21:15 -- *Guile's Theme. :D*

Must admit the opponent was a gentleman for not taking clap and going air early on when saw swarms of acolytes

when a Mormon knocks at your door and the whole community appears xd

One funny challenge to do would be this: As human race, build a town hall near the enemy base and constantly harass them with Paladin and militia only. Max out Devotion Aura and Holy Light and melee armor, and see what a swarm of cheap but well-armored little peasants can do to your base. It'd be more interesting if the enemy was undead and you'd have to decide when to use Holy Light as a weapon.

This is like watching the world's best racer drive in reverse gear only

This is batshit crazy and I love it.

Tower rushing you was a complete perfect counter by accident I suppose

Man, that first game was an absolute banger! Would watch again, but might delete later. 😂😂

that mighty acolyte army was awesome

I thought you were running out of fun challenge ideas. But never stop making jokes. They are very unique and work. Make me watch a 50 minute video... crazy.

What did I just watch …? What a masterpiece Grubby!!!

just imagine facing this strat. i cant even.

I remember running mass aco back in the day! Damn this is nostalgic...😊

thank you grubby for your commitment

Saturday night at home watching this and questioning what went wrong with my life? Nothing, nothing at all. 😂

As someone who played more modded games than melee, the idea is that you send your ghouls to the opponent base but when they see you, you plead “no please don’t kill I’m just getting lumber” and the other person is like “oh sure okay” and it becomes a game of chicken as you send more and more ghouls until you’re ready to strike

Grubby theres a challenge for you here. Try to pick up these scuffed strats from viewers from the past and try to make them better and do a series of it. Would be soo fun to watch. God bless you. hf!

Grubby, since Happy's UD and coil+nova is so dominant lately, I would love to hear from you about Warcraft 3's competitive history and how the meta changed after patches and new strats, since you've been a hardcore veteran since release. I would appreciate it if you commented on patch 1.27b in particular, which was the patch my friends and I used to play in servers back in the day. Thanks a lot for your content, greetings from Argentina! 🇦🇷

What the hell did you just bring upon this cursed land in the first 3 minutes?....How can i unsee this, please?

When people think gaming isn’t a hard job. KEKW „It’s finally over“ had me LOL Great vid

At some point we'll go gather gold from their base.

is it bad that I still make the one extra acolyte, and then use it to scout after my initial build is complete before turning it into a shade? is that... is that bad? because I'll still put like 3 and 4 on gold when I expand and uhh never mind, I'm bad at this game

imagine your enemy playing around and going all acolyte and you just start tryharding with flying units💀

“Lets go creeping” (Grubbing mouse above a bunch of acolytes)

the guy who edited the video should have actually put the "You're probably wonderin how I ended up here" part right in the begining)

When are you going to do the build where you build ancients of war, uproot them and use them as troops to assault the enemy base with? :P

Grubby, how do I put in a request for a game strat? I have had a couple for a long time that I haven't seen you try that I think would be insanely fun!

this is how the zombie apacolypes began for me too lol i actually done that same strategy but got necromancers so everytime a acolyte dies then two skeletons appears so basically my opponent just caused himself to have a more of a massive zombie invasion he had to leave even when he had everything OP. a Woss i say a Woss!

angr"y"cablecar - nice to see i still have fans almost 20 years later

"Instructions unclear, ended up K.O. by acolyte"

11:13 couldn't stop laughing 😂

premium peasant death sound~

i swear i was literally laughing my ass off as i was watching this

48:32 gj man

i have always wondered if proxy graveyard would work with ghouls. cannibalize is its own sustain at the graveyard

Absolute Art

what did i watch lolol not that im complaining of course. this is the most silly thing yet i think... better than my idea i was saying before about a militia army... so cheers to that by one upping my suggestion lol.

Crime and punishment ^^ Didn't know alchemist can shoot air units

i see, if you take over all mines, enemy just cant have enough money to oppose against hundreds of acolytes

Now this is peak wc3

DOTA. I mean Defense of the Acolytes.

Her: sorry, I don't feel like seeing you again Me: 6:21

Why not go for +1 protection on all acolytes That's doubling their armor basically

I agree with the title xD, it's weird, very weird

This was not the "highest level gameplay" that the developers expected when they were building this game.

Imagine doing lich mass casualty acolyte

My childhood hero❤

Grubby looks very happy today. Does he love Necropolis?

slap of death

I wonder if following up mass acolytes with raise skeleton necromancers might give you good bang for your buck.

The Acolytes should have Fallen Priest upgrade for tier 2 and Deceiver upgrade for tier 3.

The first game was basically Darkshire vs the Duskwoodforces of darkness. Militia is the Nightwatch 😂 If only you could stall it for enough time to make a single abom that would've soloed his base

My strat! Well not mine but my suggestion... I feel a bit dumb now, the explanation is definitely not coherent enough. At this point I feel it would be a disservice to explain further, clearly it is too OP, would shake up the meta too much...

That peasant's dead sound more like banshee's

It’s the Grubtor!

Human gets Mountain King Tome of Retraining for lvl 3 clap and 1 cannon tower for a field day! +Blood Mage Mana Siphon :)

So convinient to play with acolytes: you can grab all the gold mines you creap.

If only acolytes could research pillage XD

A small ballista is a called a "crossbow" XD

This is impressive. I do this against the AI, but beating a really good player with nothing but workers is funny as hell!

@grubby i played the last proleague and I would like you to try my most famous rush i invented long ago. UD vs HU. CL, spider + massive bugs+skeletons tower rush. No creeps at all. You overload humans units right at start. Build your tower directly in his base entrance and trap him in his base for whole game lol

2 entire gold mines in the most pure sanctified unit in the game. Acolytes

At least you didn't peon him

The OG spoon 🥄 killer must be Very proud

Its like youre buulding zombies

between not getting w3champions to work, it also doesn't show my ping/apm or the date in the top right like yours what's going on here o_O

wow that worked great

MK only need a thunder clap

15:00 -- *N-0-0-B :D :D :D*

What a game.

This is not a strat, you only call it that way, this is just that you are bored and doing random funny things. :D and I like it

Funniest wc3 replay i havr ever seen

i would be so confused if i was playing against this lmao

My LIFE for Aïur.. euh Nerzul !

Loved Battle Royal 1

omg. what a game

Thats why Blood Mage should always be your first pick agaisnt undead then Mountain Giant.

Please do a clockwork animal rush. Human, lots of shops, lots of clockwork animals summoned at once and used for surrounds.

What do you mean NO COMMENT? YOU DID A GOOD DEED.
