Grubby as a caster is pure gold

It's so tragic that WC3 has such a dedicated professional community and yet Blizzard is too incompetent to provide them with either a sufficiently upgraded version of WC3 or WC4.

9:10 - calling Kaho "Moon" is so wholesome to me. What a compliment for Kaho. Dude is a machine

Is it me or we need even one more video a day by Grub? I am addicted

more casting please :) love it!

wc3 is truly a unique RTS, crazy it was created so "long ago" and was so successful while also having such bold differences from other RTS of the time. I have played star craft and aoe, but most of my generic RTS knowledge fails to apply to WC3. The whole point of army staying at 50 but still getting stronger was super cool, and also the side point about mana regen delves into the territory of mana units being historically a pain to balance in other RTS but in WC3 they are baked into the design so there are more options to overcome the efficiency of mana units.

I mean he should have sent the Chims to Lyn's base and researched Corrosive. It doesn't make sense for them to fight. And they died in seconds, wasn't expecting that.

still waiting for that Grubby dark ranger silence ability impression

0:44 -- this is simply *NOT* true. Kaho was born in 1999. Warcraft 3 came out in 2002, and expansion TFT in 2003. ... Guessing now I also have to check that "20-20" score statistic which Grubby cited 20 seconds earlier with regards to his match record against Lyn... ? ;]] .

Lyn is the only player in the history of WC3 that can make Happy rage-quit without saying "gg". I will never forget that series where Lyn beat Happy 3-0 with only grunts and kodos one game, then mass wyverns the second game, and then with only raiders.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. When Lyn is "on", he is scary, scary strong. As someone that has watched professional WC3 since 2005, I think that I have never seen a Grandfinal of a majour tournament as one-sided as the 2019 WGL Winter GH between these two. The one game that Happy won was really close, but the other 3 that Lyn won he just stomped him into the ground. The reason why I mention this is that most pro players can barely win a map against Happy, so to watch Happy can dominated on 3 maps in one series is brutal. For instance, at the Huya Super League in 2020, Infi was also able to beat Happy 3-0. But the difference is that all games were super-long, super-pclose and Infi won with macro and tank cheese. The same can be said for all the times that 120 has beaten Happy in mirror. It's always close, and 120 has to work really hard for it and Happy usually wins 2-3 maps when he loses. Lyn is the only player that has beaten Happy in a "GTFO of my game, kid". That last game with only raiders was ridiculous. Lyn with only raiders beat an Undead army with 3 heroes and two of them level 4 or higher, several dextros and aboms. Lyn only a FS and Shadow Hunter. That hex on the DK just so that that FS chould kill the Lich with CL at the end was absurd.

Love the casts. Never miss them

Druid of the Talon death animation/sounds are so dramatic and I love it

Grubby, review of WCG finals against Moon one day?

23:03 incredible dying DH scream

Gonna be honest, i was never a fan of watching RTS games with casters but master Grubby is an exception, he makes it really really fun and educational

Love the commentary, keep the good work. I wish you had a lot of more views and subs, but thats on people.

I love those casting videos so much

Serious analysis incoming. If you're allergic to semi-long texts, please turn back NOW. My impression of the game was that Kaho is a very typical representative of what I'd call the ... *"Eager new pro"* Syndrome. Signs of this are the following: Despite excellence in speed of mechanical skills such as micro, resource management, creeping, and unit composition, *he still LACKS* the strategic vision and psychological presence. This mental composure and grand-view strategic assessment is *absolutely necessary* for the purposes of knowing when, where and HOW to force a game's end, -- -- as well as for actually being *optimally PRACTICAL* regarding your on-the-spot in-game decisions and long-term tactical/strategic aims. --- The turning point in the game?? 13:05. Let me explain what the correct course of action for Kaho at this specific point in time would have been: 1) Consume Mana stone and Entangle BM when he lands from the Cyclone. --- He won't die, as SH is nearby, ready to heal-wave and save him, but it's *STILL worth it* to damage BM as much as possible and waste SH's mana, to gain time for action # 3). 2) Lyn sends other units to BM's aid, which save the BM, but exposes *THEM* to focus fire and entangle, AND Faerie-fire, thus making Orc waste EVEN MORE mana, and giving vision of his units. --- (needless to say, Lyn's own units are way too damaged, whereas Kaho's are way too healthy for this to go ANY OTHER WAY than to even more material *gained* for Kaho, and more *LOST* by Lyn) 3) While doing as much damage as possible before retreating, in the back of this start building hunter's hall for the purposes of getting Ultravision and Wellspring upgrades. 4) After retreat from the Orc base, head to bottom right Red spot (big Ogre). Lyn will be too damaged and busy recovering to be able to contest. 5) From here on out, everything that happens is conditional, but ONE thing is certain: Kaho is immeasurably ahead already. --- Whatever action Lyn undertakes, (the likeliest of which is to creep his own expansion and then head to Kaho's in an attempt to bring it down / force a fight), he'll be at the disadvantage. 6) Kaho just needs to play cool and normally, not making any serious errors, and it's *GG.* *ADDITIONALLY,* the starting of an expansion at all, slightly before that time mark, would have been a dubious decision even in the best of situations. From my experience, getting the associated upgrades from the Hunter's hall and having two or three EXTRA moonwells has always been a practically better choice for this particular NE build. (DOTTs) . WP by Lyn, but can't speak that well for Kaho: As already said earlier, he still lacks that mental composure that comes with age, experience and veterancy. It is precisely THAT which prevented him from closing this game correctly and capitalizing optimally on his small-time temporary victories over Lyn throughout the course of the game. ... Thus, in general, I would judge this game as *maaaaayybe* NOT the best choice by Grubby for a game worthy of a dedicated commentary. Trust me, from my point of view of an experienced veteran who's been in the scene since 2004: *Game was decided in Lyn's favor the moment Kaho chose to just ... RUN AWAY, with NO planned followup in mind, at **13:05**.* Perhaps not 100%, but at least 80% or so. Kaho *still* could have gone for HH at that point in the game and *maybe* stand some small chance, but it's debatable. .

12:30 Rough mis-micro from the Blamaster there as he attacks his own raiders! So costly to waste invulnerability on that.

What a fun game to watch.

Does anyone know where kaho's streaming?

the impressions get better everyday 😂

Grubby murloc sounds are gold 23:32

Youth gives you an extra half a second reaction time

Kaho is rated the next eer0-level WC3 player in China, He is still very young and has much to improve.

great game. illusion got a little overtuned but fun match up

Grubby who is stronger between you two at your prime ?

So, Chimaeras are like the SC2 Ultralisks.

what a game!

lol almost sprayed my monitor with some nice cola mist @ 18:25

I want a whole wc3 voice pack from Grubby 😅

gg what a fenobedable game!

Wow, this is some good shiet. Much respect.

what did you think of BAR?

Were MGs just nerfed too hard? I feel like they were a huge threat and I'd see them in every game, maybe six months ago?

Any time Orc wins the world is correcting itself. The most abused race in wc3

the audacity of NE to want every advantage in the game lol

I knew mirror image was valuable in 2004-5

7:30 -- Grubby talking crap as usual... The argument that "Even if TC gets burned, he still has Endurance" works for SH also: Even if SH gets burned he still has *"SERPENT WARDS"* which are at a laughably low mana cost. .

Kaho may be able to consistently challenge Happy one day soon

omg love new pros

What game came out before Grubby was born where he could try to become a pro? ...... Pong?

I realy love the reference to what i believe is the german casting on grubby vs moon wcg finals 2007 with : „da geht der keeper down“ - thats the salt in this very tasty soup

Hi. Play against two strong allies on the Turtle Islands map. Let there be two strong computers in the alliance: an Orc and an Undead. Can you show a beautiful game?

👍

❤

Kaho is 24 Grubstar

gg kaho why no mana burn on rashta and u win ..

Bro saying that mana regen or army value changes outside of traditional macro/eco is unique to WC3 and comparing it to Starcraft, where the number of storms you have on a high templar vastly changes its value and all races absolutely have healing, seems a little odd 🤔 There are literally tons of techs in that game that give you increased mana on unit spawn... so obviously value changes over time

I turn 40 in October :/

I like grubby but he’s painting a picture that he’s neck and neck with Lin. Not even close. No way he takes a single map off him in a competitive game. Especially orc v orc.

he wasnt even born when wc3 came out and 2nd highest earner in pro wc3 history? wow.....

As long as Grubby doesn't cover occupiers I am happy.

One trick is some of the highest honors lol. The more players fall to it... The more the perspective of the "abuser" is shown and proven to all So usually the "higher a perch" one sits on in ofc a positive regard (when it comes to all ones strengths) the more and the better one should perform with such trick

wait... what??? now illusions can deal damage?

Grubby, the whole game is about using imbalances, and it always has been-- as with all conflict..
