@@TheKillPeteStrategy Agreed. With that good of a roll, it leaves him in the lead with a set, and then a follow up set possibly the next two turns. I'm quite surprised he's only an Expert. He's probably Master but gets screwed by the ranking system. I think he and Green should switch ranks and that's what I would've expected.
@@Kryogenikz15Idk, feels too risky of a play for too much higher of rank. That play will get you 3rd a good handful of times. With average attackers bonus, hes looking at 60-70 troops. Maybe 80, but thats already above average I think. Puts him behind red either way. I also think low master isn't much different from high expert tbf tho. Mid to high master is it's own class, then grandmaster. And then top players are probably in their own class as well.
@@DaTimmeh I think at this point if you know how to evaluate player, he know the 2 others are not good enough to get back on him. He took off the biggest thread without taking too much risk. Even if he would be a little bit under the 2 others he would still outskill them.
Respect for that Blue player. I was watching Pete the whole time and never thought “The Kill Pete Strategy” would win you the game. That will definitely have to improve my gameplay.
Thank you so much for sharing this game even though you got fourth. I think you’re right that blue really seized the moment in that one. Of course I don’t know the result, but I would assume he won. Beautiful game.
31:30 Hi Pete, gg. I'm the White player. For context on this game, I started out with territories on all 6 continents, totaling 2-4 sum armies in each. When this happens, I often wind up getting stuck with the "Itinerant Stack in Asia" strategy. Love that term. It also gives me a sort of pass to try and be a Chaos Monkey to see if I can run around playing the speed bag on donkey nuts to see how they react. Unfortunately it's often me that gets donkey (a$$) kicked as a result I realized that Red was the donkey player early (just a noob player, but irrational play still irrationally riles me up), when he zapped my 4 stack in Europe without giving me enough time to get them out of there. I figured if we corralled the donkey, (card blocked) he would be one of these players that refuses to go a round without getting a card, no matter how much it hurts him. If you spend more than about 3 armies to get a card, you are generally overpaying, especially when you get that overbought card at the expense of ruining an opponent's bonus, thus kicking off a war. I put my 60 stack on Greenland hoping that you (Purple) would close that last gate in the corral and put a sizeable stack in Afghanistan. Red Donkey being a donkey, I hoped he would demand to get his card no matter what and blast one of Blue's fat (but lower than our) stacks. Bonus if he gets the card at the expense of Africa. Then its grab the popcorn and smugly quote Petr Baelish's "chaos is a ladder." I felt ok speed bagging blue a little on this because he was too far away to really counter attack effectively. But, probably wisely, given that there is no guarantee where a donkey will kick, you didn't close the corral. Another great quote: "He's tried nothing and he's out of ideas." This was pretty much on the money. I had 4 opponents sitting on bonuses and was locked in an NA cage with a rabid bot. But..... if there's anything I can do to make a game interesting when I'm basically a board wraith I will just sit tight and see what develops. You have it right that I tried to convince green to get a stack out in asia so that I could take NA, and you very quickly countered that. Early in the game you mentioned you wanted to get that green stack in asia out of there before it got any bigger, and had green taken up my offer and gotten a stack out there, you probably would have felt the need to zap it at higher cost (Chaos Monkey!) And then the final quote while I was alive from the Grand Master schooling the stripling: "Lets just help red along here. Sorry White. You die. I think you die now." Lots of praise from you too, which I appreciate! I was a good player who made a bad play, and that bad play was expecting rationality from Red Donkey, who lost 46 armies taking a 60 stack without even the hope of a measly 5 cards as a reward. Me emoting a collaborating zombie bot is as close as I can get to a hee hawing donkey emote. Anyways stumbling on your videos got me interested in Risk again, which many people dismiss as being having about as much strategy as tic tac toe. This is not the case if at least one player plays irrationally, which almost always happens.

That was one of the most entertaining fixed Fridays I've watched in a while. (and I've watched an embarrassing number of them). Fascinating play, and an ending I absolutely didn't see coming.
I think that's the best reaction I've ever seen when Blue started attacking you I watched this scene over 30 time but... you still a best player in this game , And you deserve this nickname (King of Risk) Love you bro ⚘️
First i thought that Blue is that ultra boring kind of passive player who just tries to out passive everybody. But nope, he strikes at the exactly right time at his biggest threat while Red keeps on ruining both himself and Green. At the end Blue still had a slight lead but wasnt involved in their war. Great play and great reaction to this by Pete. 52:20 But that 65 vs 181 was really lucky for Blue tbh.
Literally the first game I have seen Pete Lose. Thank you Pete for sharing it, I would have loved to listen to you talk after the game and give a post mortem over what you could have done differently. I have Mad respect for you!
I keep having games where the Ozzie Turtles exercise more patience than the holy trinity of 5 Bonus troops holders. Our Mexican standoff keeps breaking before Australia snaps, like they are supposed to do
Pete, at 24:25 I would have thought it would have been a good time to go from China -> Mongolia -> Kamchaka -> Alaska, then forty all troops to Alaska to start upgrading the AUS to North Am. play. Why would that not have been a good strategy? That would allow White to become the AUS player.
You were stunned? Whoa! I was stunned! That was one of the greatest, most unexpected plays by an opposing player that I have ever witnessed in the over hundreds of games of yours that I have had the pleasure of watching! 😮 It was like watching a shark waiting to eat a barracuda after the barracuda had lunch, only the lunch turned out to be the shark eaten by the barracuda. 🦈
That was a great play by Blue at the end. Perfect timing. Took out the best player, and remained with as many troops as the bad red player, and more than Green, so I presume he won.
I had a similar finish a few months back that I still remember to this day, myself and another player had set up deadliest trap and the Australia player botted after my turn and the other player killed me first instead of the bot to secure the win. I was stunned when it happened but it was a very good play.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy It made keeping Australia and South America a lot tougher but it gave you another way out of Australia, that was the main reason we had done it. My memory is a bit foggy though since I haven't played in decades.
broo i never knew about this game till i found your videos. totally made me wanna download it. just started playing but i suck hahaha. maybe you could teach me sometime !!!! keep up the great vids homie
I just had a play with non alliances and it was fun that red could still figure out what I was hinting at, and we helped each other win the game ( i got 1st, he 2nd) xD
I've lost quite a few games due to scumbag bottery. If the devs made it that once you bot out, for whatever reason, you can't return, then scumbag bottery would be eliminated completely.
I think blue was intending to just weaken your position so you wouldn’t be poised to kill him after his cleanup of the red/green war, then he got those rolls and ran with it.
Obviously this isn't how risk works but just for the sake of interest, if blue lost the same amount that he killed from Pete he would've been left with 38 troops but instead, even without the trade, he ends the attack on 105 troops.... Blue went 67 troops positive on that kill....
I'd like to know from Pete, Was this the best move for blue ? Assuming he guessed you were the most dangerous opponent. A typical "Kill Pete Strategy"?
Why does it matter what pete thinks? It was an obvious move, green and red were out of the equation at that point. Blue would have to be a terrible player not to see that was only move that gives him a guaranteed win.
Wow! As passive as Blue was I did NOT see that coming. Although once he started blocking Pete from getting a territory bonus I suspected he might target that 19 in India at some point. It really worked out for him bc of those dice too! Still had the lead, sets, & only player left with a protected bonus. Insane opportune play by Blue & even more insane luck on the dice. I'm just as shocked as Pete. Pete I think you played Aus as well as possible there to try to set yourself up for as even of a 1v1 as you could get. Apparently Blue saw that too. Even Green showed incredible restraint trying every option to not have to slam Red. Great great game all around....well except from Red. 😂
I think in a vacuum it's a terrible play. In context with the other two fighting it's not the worst choice. What actually happened with the best dice in history makes it an actual winning play.
I find it funny that Pete talks down other players for letting Red holding 7 bonus troops. And does nothing to break red himself with a 182 v 22 stack (51.50 timemark). If Red gets broken there, you have a strong all in Green and Blue might also join the party.
as soon as green suicided into Red and you were on 5 Cards, i was like WHAT IF BLUE ATTACK MISTA PETE ?!! and it happened, bcuz sometimes i do that too, when other players are weak i attack the stronger one so i will be the only strong one.. AFTER ALL another video to show us why u hate AUS lol
this game yesterday i had europe on lock and was facing all 3 of them at once becuz they let me get too strong to the point they ignored australia and he ended up winning the game by a lot
I'm not sure it was a great play. As others have pointed out, he was super lucky with the dice. If he hadn't been so lucky, he could have just as easily handed the win to red.
It was not a great play in a vacuum. In context with the other two fighting it goes up a lot. But with dice like that it looks like the most amazing move in the world
I hate the OG map. People get what they want and then people seem to just sit and wait for other people to act. If the prevalent strategy in a game is to be passive until others are impassive, it just makes for a very dull over all strategy that requires only the skill of patience.
Respect for uploading. Rare to see Pete dumbfounded (respectfully) in an end game.
I think it was an ok move to make at that point. Really blindsided me. With the dice it upgraded from an ok move to an amazing move.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Agreed. With that good of a roll, it leaves him in the lead with a set, and then a follow up set possibly the next two turns. I'm quite surprised he's only an Expert.

WOW what a great play by blue. Did not see that one coming
Wish I could see the rest of the game play out. That was a crazy play by blue
He got REALLY lucky dice on that 80. Jeeez. 40 - nearly 50 troop lead to 110 lead from that move
I was baffled by that outcome, honestly the fact blue "risked" it is what I was shocked about.
it's even crazy how he still somehow outlead red to i think by 20+ troops
I wouldve never guessed that would've happen wow
Respect for that Blue player. I was watching Pete the whole time and never thought “The Kill Pete Strategy” would win you the game. That will definitely have to improve my gameplay.
All you need is blue's dice and you too can win games

With those dice he better!

but... you still a best player in this game , And you deserve this nickname

Love you bro ⚘️
Your story telling and sense of the game makes the video very enjoyable to watch!
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed the show
+30 on a 0% roll is crazy. blue shouldve been able to kill you but he went from being 30 troops more than you to 100 more at the end.
that's what attackers advantage is.

Always maks me laugh when Reginald gets thudded to the floor XD
27:40 thought you were going to card block red. blue and white set it up. red forced to hit blue ten africa.
wow that turn at the end.
I was white, yep that was my hope.
It's fixed there is absolutely no reason to hit a 12-20 for a +10 or maybe even a +4...
Love you shared this. Guess Blue saw how weak the others were and took the opportunity to make a “risky” move

This move gives up aus and starts a war with Green I think.

Great ending! Was expecting a boastful easy win. That’s a real game tho. Well played and great video.
Yeah man! That one came out of nowhere
That was a great play by Blue at the end. Perfect timing. Took out the best player, and remained with as many troops as the bad red player, and more than Green, so I presume he won.
Yeah man he got the best dice in history!
+ green was about to suicide into red i wonder if he followed through with it would have loved to see the full game
man the heartbreak was real there you trusted blue and he just friggin said nope lol
Man you are hilarious. Definitely earned my subscription lol 😂

Thanks for playing the game Pete just became a grandmaster!
The dice roll dictated the effectiveness of the blue move at the end. Bad dice would have meant self destruction, as it was it, blue got great dice.
He got amazing dice. It's ridiculous
What an ending, was not expecting that. Blue was so passive the entire game, brilliant move though.
I don't know how good it is in a vacuum. Looks great when you get those dice tho
Your cat is the real life Garfield 🤣
Love those ZOOM INS WITH LOUD NOISE, LOL 😂
Ohhh babyyyy
That’s what I was expecting him to do. I’m sure he went on to win that one too.
Yeah man! With dice like those how can he lose
Risk is actually mostly about patience and letting the fools lose all of their stuff to eachother. It is actually funny.
I really admired how you uploaded this video even tho you got fourth, I respect the humility and your praise for a very good play by blue, gg.
With dice like that, how can I even be mad?

@@spham_99 I feel ya, but suffering so many ignominious defeats at the hands of degenerate scumbag botters it's a loss I'm willing to take
Or just, your bot is passive until you time out, and *then* goes auto
“We will be at RISK”
I think blue was intending to just weaken your position so you wouldn’t be poised to kill him after his cleanup of the red/green war, then he got those rolls and ran with it.

Spoiler! Pete’s name is Pete
what a surprise ending!
Would this game turn out differently if pete set on his last turn?
I wonder if that was enough to make the difference
what program do you use for the arrows and circles?
What a game Pete. Do think that was the best play for blue or did he cost himself the game there?
I think in a vacuum it's a terrible play.
In context with the other two fighting it's not the worst choice.
What actually happened with the best dice in history makes it an actual winning play.
I SEE SOME NEW EDITING SKILLS
Nice to see I'm not the only one that gets randomly shit on by others players.
I find it funny that Pete talks down other players for letting Red holding 7 bonus troops. And does nothing to break red himself with a 182 v 22 stack (51.50 timemark).
If Red gets broken there, you have a strong all in Green and Blue might also join the party.
lol

Just have really good dice!

Should have spectated at the end, js.
