Orski these games were so much fun to follow you through! I just got into Dune Imperium a couple months ago and found your videos a couple weeks ago. It has been so helpful to be able to follow your thought processes through the different stages of the game. Apart from the fact that this was the group of death, it is almost unbelievable that you are also able to commentate so well during the competition and maintain play at the highest levels. You are a legend and I look forward to following and cheering you on in more of this competition and future ones! Good luck with the rest of the games & much love from Australia

18:07 Dagger to Tech Negotiation for Minimic Film. That’s your Choam Directorship.

Ive had so much fun watching all these tournament games. Rooting for you all the way, all the way from Sweden! :) But also, cursing when I think that I see a better play for you. :) Thank you for putting these videos up. Looking forward for future games.

Very interesting game! I was biting my nails when Orski could take Chaom Directorship and seemed to go elsewhere instead! I think that turn made his game, it was very crucial, even though both Bene Gesserit and Emperor alliances where taken away. And winning a game against Lannister playing Rhombur - that's quire some feat. A very well deserved win

Well done! Nice to see an astute piloting of Tessia - along with some clutch moments like Choam and Plans within Plans!

Great game! Just noticed Elessar averaging over 10 points per game. What a madman.

Having commentated on this game, was super close end to the group. Should be noted that Orski was not good for the win until plans got drawn, would have had 2nd place in the game due to yellow gaining spice in last combat, leaving orski in 5th spot in the group and waiting for results to see if he'd qualify. The group of death indeed...

Was a really fun game to watch. Congrats on the win and for advancing! On the first Conflict III turn you could have bought a Spice Must Flow by using your last intrigue to draw a card (would have been Bene Sister - a 2 persuasion card) and then using dagger to go to Tech Negotiation, putting you at 10 persuasion and thus still allowing you to go to Hardy Warriors and revealing for 9 persuasion. You would have lost out on the two troops and two spice from the Basin and also one fewer dagger from reveal (but you also only put one troop in from your garrison on Hardy Warriors with the line you took) so your total combat strength would have been 3 less. Not sure if it was worth the risk of losing the combat but not sure whether you saw that line.

Crazy draw for plans within plans wow

That was a gnarly game. You executed excellently and everyone's play was pretty interesting.

SO nice of the other players letting you take that Interstellar Shipping back. I know I'd never have the guts to ask, even in a non-tournament game! Amazingly executed in all respects, really showing off your skill in this one!

So cool, commentating this game under pressure and bringing it home against excellent opponents. 🙌

Congrats! 🎉 You made it, I'm so proud of you

S4iler here, on round 6 I thought I couldn't put the last one but forgot I already had 1 troop in there before HL. Damn.

Wow, great game Orski! I thought you piloted Tessia effortlessly. I mean, it helped that there were no other faction leaders such as Leto or the Baron to contend with, but still a great game. It also helped that Rhombus and Beast were beating the snot out of each other. The fact that you managed 3 combat points was clutch! Plans Within Plans! What can you say?! Btw, even if someone had Test of Humanity at the end, you still had Poison Snooper to draw so you would most likely have been fine for SMF. Everyone played well too! Always great to watch Lannister pilot Rhombur, just wasn't in the cards today. The Spy Satellites denial by Paul was pretty huge. Group of death for sure!

What a run! Great job, fun to watch

Great game and congrats on the win!

Hey orski, love the commentary, I’ve been trying to get into recording games for KZfaq so it’s nice to watch others do it too. Around 46:38 you mention that beast is forced to reveal, but they have Reconnaissance in hand and 2 water, so couldn’t they have gone to research station if they wanted?

Hello. Thx for the vid. Very interesting. That is tabletop simulator, right? What mod are you using?

37 you place fs into high council buy smf?

How do u get this game?

Where can i Play this Game online?

Nice game! When is the next one?

well done Orski, now we come full circle for the Choam buy haha

28:10 Paul can draw his signet ring back into his hand?????

I just started playing this game. Early on in the game, he comments that it would have been a disaster to get seek allies first hand. Why would that be?

How to zoom in on cards like that? Hitting Z for me just flies in w the camera.

Congrats on your win! Watching now, will comment again after! Tessias win rate this tournament is disgustingly high

Did you do the math to see if you’d have been eliminated if you didn’t get that last 2VP?

Nice one!

is it normal at 28:48 that blue can put the troops from training drones straight into the combat? I think I've seen players doing it before but I couldn't find any mention of it in the Ix rules

Turn 3 could’ve got the tech with dagger and then had 8 early reveal

one thing I dont like about this game is that there is too much power variance within intrigue cards. Some lets you draw a card or do pretty much nothing (blue here even trashed some of em at some point) while others are game changing like plans within plans.
