I love that Romeo and Juliet snuck off and fathered a great dynasty in the north. A romantic ending to a low elo legend.

When you think the game is over but there's still half the video left...

100% sure that red couldnt find blue and decided to build a Wonder for Wonder victory but didnt know It wasnt possible

12:30 "A very quick game" - T90 1:08:00 "Not a quick game" - The Game

1:01:47 for the game-defining chat. Classic "you should have killed me when you had the chance" type stuff!

The idea of people peacefully mining a lump of stone while a bunch of French people throw axes at their house 100 feet away is very funny, in an incredibly bizarre way.

This is really the legend of the Codfather. May he swim forever on!

nothing encapsulates "twice the pride, double the fall" more so than red this game nice wonder. absolute respect for going for it

So what I’m hearing about straggler trees is to make them efficient you have to put a lumber camp between them and the tc

The great thing about watching a 750 elo player "play really well" is the fact that you can always ask the question, "ok, so what's their fatal flaw?" Because, if the answer was "nothing," then they wouldn't be 750 elo.

27:00 "I think it's probably over" - 40 more minutes left in the video :D

I tried to use this to fall asleep, but oh man one of the greatest LELs of all time. I was on the edge of my seat. ;)

Hidden Cup? Meh. Give me a Low Elo Legends Cup. It would be the pinnacle of competitive sport. These guys are insane, and that's why they're legends. What compelling drama.

I love the “What a mistory” into enemy GG.

The worst part was T90 missing the comment that the Cod Father was all about ef-fishency. 5:42 Everything else magical.

I laughed so much in this game... T90's confusion and commentary are superb.

Chat : "Not everyone is a smurf if they don't die in dark age to a boar" BacT : "Not everyone is a pro if they don't loose 4 vills to a tiger before loom"

Red's Wonder up in flames is peak symbolism on his Empire's fall.

I left my purse in there let me in 😂 50:20

Blue has got some swagger, brilliant recovery

35:16 3 Knights being chased by a lion. Also 5 lumber mills

24:46 Meanwhile Romeo doesn't have wood so they can't do anything.

Love the talk about lower elo methodology. I am at the elo where pure build order into aggro doesn't *always* work, and it's *amazing* how many people were carried to 1k on the back of just memorizing a build order. Like Frank fast castle into knights, but you can *see* the wheels fall off if those first knights don't win the game.

I started rooting for blue when red showed early aggression. Wasn't disappointed.

sometimes on black forest, for instance, you gotta chop those strangler trees because you burn through all your wood making palisade walls and don't consequently have enough to build your first lumber camp.

I binge watch this series just to hear T90 complain about straggler trees. There's a twist each time. Today's was "time is money" resaid as "WALKING IS WOOD!!!" I offer for future videos: Walking time should be chopping time Chop your walking time, so you can clock more chopping time If a woodchopper would chop wood, would a woodchopper just build a lumber camp already? Why hop and chop when you can chop and drop? Chop-chop! Stop, drop and plop your wood chop shop by the good woods for good wood. (Just a solid minute of WHYYYY?) Remember to take proper care of your villager health. Straggler trees combine the cardio of chopping with the endurance training of marathon running. Chinese pun: Worrying about straggler tree aethetics is fengshui (風水 = literally wind-water). Actually getting wood is xinshui (薪水, meaning salary, but literally firewood-water).

This is why we love lel. So unpredictable. You never know when it's going to end and who's going to win. 😂

"red's dead and there's no redemption" beautiful

The benefit of saving straggler trees is when scouts get into your base you can garrison in your TC and even while they patrol around the outside you can have resources to take. They are your backup trees

This was actually painful to watch. I think I might need to go to the hospital after this, coz honestly, neither of them deserved to win. I was hoping a meteor would fall and both would just lose. 11

My favorite detail is Blue getting wrecked so hard in Feudal and yet clicks up to Castle first

The Codfather knows, keep your friends close, and your enemies closer…

2:30 *I would like to see that no-house T90 trolls match if or when it happens; that sounds like it'd be a quite interesting challenge.* Thanks again for another great video!

I recently started playing ranked games after playing AI for quite a bit. After 4 games I have 3 wins, I wouldn't have without T90. In the loss i got stressed out and didn't build the right counters, in 2 of the 3 wins I have the feeling my opponents resign to early

It's crazy to see the skill difference between a 750 elo player and a 1000 elo player. Where the latter will pre-wall their woodlines and make 2 spearman to anticipate a scout rush, while still managing his build order pretty well, the first one is stil trying to figure out why he can't go to feudal with only 1 dark age building.

Hands down one of the best most intense game i've ever seen. Great content!!

5:08 "Codfather is all about ef-fishency" LMAO

56:25 haha He sounded like he found a spider in his bathtub

Loved this game from the first to the last minute, props to both of them

The loss ratio between stragglers and lumber camp due to walking is miniscule[and as such on low elo it is less bothersome],especially since some people love to forget to refresh their lumby campies and let their villagers walk miles with their morning wood gathered from a tree Edit:// Blue went for t90 farms strat and started rebooming and turning game around,OP STRAT GG :D

I have been watching LEL right from the very beginning but I have not laughed this much on any of the games till now. This was so much fun! Well played to both Red and Blue!

You really got me with the "Loom loom loom loom, I want you in my room I guess, I don't know"

I've been lurking on your vids for like two years now, I don't even play AoE. Just had to comment on this man, this one is the best one ever! So satisfying and the cherry on top with mistory comment omg

If red had just LOOKED at Spies cost, they would have known that red still had lots of villagers and was rebooming. Then maybe they would have felt some urgency in finding red's base to finish them.

My favorite time of the day

'pikeman rush' I absolutely lost it.

I'm so glad the Codfather turned this match around!

i cant play poles, as a pole myself the villager voicelines distract me too much hahaha

Red drove me insane. The video is not even over.

Red seemed like someone who watched so many tutorials on build orders all the way to castle but had no idea what to do after that.

Awlright you've convinced me. See ye Tuesday. I'm finally doing it on my nice computer. AoE II. Let's go, pray I run into someone who has no idea what they're doing.

"Codfather vs. Schnitzel von Wagen" -> Instant legends only because of the names already lol

"Wonder into GG" lmao

Blue: What a mistory Red: Understandable, have a nice day

Red has all the hallmarks of a player who rushes every single time and has gotten his opponents to give up. The problem is that he has no idea how to shift to being on the back foot and when the game goes long. Most of this gave me the impression that red was screaming, "why isn't this working!?!" when he durdles around and doesn't have a good idea of where the game plan goes next.

the low elo legends commentary where you go off the rails so much is my absolute favorite

"the codfather" is the most icelandic username ever

"What a mistory" - soul obliterated, enemy resigns

The real mistory is when T90 will come back to Twitch

Teuton farm bonus is the best for sure. Every 5 minutes you'll be surprised by all the extra wood. It's like having people you lent money to years ago all start showing up a month apart. It's money/wood you weren't expecting or counting on

This was soo painful, I honestly don't know why I watched the whole thing. Props to T90 for casting this and not getting crazy af

That Romeo and Juliet piece totally cracked me :D :D :D

@T90Official: The first letters in the Polish upgrade are read as sh like in e.g. shining or shade. Also funnily enough, the Frankish wonder isn't actually in France. It's St. Vitus cathedral in Prague, Czechia/Czech Republic.

Imagine how better red would be if he realized how important Loom was.

the wackiness is amazing

Best LEL in months!!! I love the series.

Here in the UK my local fish and chip shop is called "The Codfather" lol

The Wonder, the Wonder, the... Noooo!

56:27 ROFL the horror in his voice! "HEUH! 😨"

"Look how they massacred my buoy" -Codfather, probably

the best is chat thinking red is a smurf!! HAHAHAHA The best game ever

"Any creative way to throw it away." Hell, Tristan, you don't really make it neccessary for me to watch. But, I do listen!

Such an excellent commentary man and what a great game! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Thanks for creating this great series

This mistory was an amazing learn!

Red couldn't see the sneak Romeo & Juliet corner TC because of fog of war What a mist story

One of the best LEL games I've ever seen.

Notre Dame on fire. Historically accurate.

One way or another (whenever blue or red) we know-how from the start that Poles would win, thats makes this evening much more pleasant.

DEFINITELY should've called this one "Game of Throws"

That line from blue was a flex, lol.

The Codfather deserved 100% the victory

That was a rollercoaster

5:20 SoTL taking the wonder out of it with stats.

The biggest throw of all time

One of the greatest LEL I have ever seen. Credit to blue for keeping at it.

This game made me want to cry the most, from how Red was playing after his early aggression.

I love it to see them move their whole base and still win this way =DDD

Your wall is only as strong as the whole that's always there. Always

Codfather should have just said "Nice Wonder"

"dont expect walling" skipping an hour ahead: ye walls

No-house Poles seems like the type of thing Viper would try.

I'm glad I watched the whole thing

That was crazy entertaining!!!! Great stuff

Red had so many great opportunities to capitalize and just failed to execute at all. It's like he expected castle drops to just force a resign! What a mistory indeed

Red snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

LEL watching LEL - Let's see what Mr. Schnitzel can do.

I love that blue had 2 stables that whole time but only produced out of 1 🤣

Random intel on the players' names: Codfather's might be a reference to the three cod wars between Iceland and the UK (and of course is also a pun with godfather). "Schnitzel von Wagen" has the german structure of a royal name, while just meaning "schnitzel of car" :D

T90 = goated with the sauce

One of the best games ever
