- I'm drn and this is our third game in this week's tournament, here we're going up against Hoshiyomi Shiroha a 2k MMR player. They've telegraphed their intention to play War Factory right out of the gates as a Giant Specialist, can we prepare a stalwart defence or will the big guns never tire?
Anything you think I've done wrong or could do better please let me know, I'm always looking to improve both my gameplay and the video quality. Thanks again for watching!

Part of the ship, part of the crew! Appreciate all the help I've been given, big thanks everyone.
Wow, that was an amazing game. the constant struggle from both sides was amazing to watch. And as far as I (a complete noob) can tell, both sides had really solid strategies going on.
Yeah was one of the most intense games I've ever played. So glad it was a tournament game so I was recording! His early air power into War Factory was a really nice line of play and almost caught us short, but thankfully we scraped on through :D
One of the best games I've seen in a long time! Congrats! 2 hit points left, wow!
This game had me from the moment I saw a crawler score a touchdown. Lol
Nice work 👍
Thanks dude! Was a fun game to play :D
Football commentary on the crawlers had me giggling loudly while everyone is sleeping. Great to see you uploading again!
Hahaha, that was Editing DRNs idea and I'm glad we were able to bring it to fruition - was such a crazy good run that Crawler made!
Epic game. Well played. I watched you religiously a yead ago and delighted you have been uploading again with regularity.
Wasnt sure about the 'editor drn' when i first heard it but after a couple of videos i have grown to genuinely like it 😊 Also good work on the increaded editing quality. 😂
Most of all super happy to see you more relaxed, silly and see more of your personality come out in your videos. Good for you dude :D ❤
Thanks for the feedback, really helpful!
Yeah, Editing DRN is my way of incorporating that "omg why doesn't he just do [awesome play!] here?!" I'm not sure if it's wise long term for me to break the fourth wall while editing and break the flow of the videos but it's fun from time to time :D
Hope you're enjoying the game itself too dude!
Absolutely love your content.
From the great editing (Arrows and stat cards) to the commentary discussing your thought process.
Love every minute of it.
Thank you.
Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words and the quality feedback.
Trying to make sure the edits are never over the top but just enhance the experience. Explaining some of my references and trying to make the game more approachable for folks who maybe aren't as familiar as others. Always try and imagine myself playing with a buddy next to me who's interested but hasn't played quite as much so I'm explaining my thoughts - not just the "what" but also the "why" where ever I can.
Just. Downright. Amazing. I actually wish i could seen that live, no little time bar telling that there was more to watch. It is one the reason i love your post match analyzing as it helps to not spoil just when the last round might be
I really would have thought the 2 melting points were the pick, worrying about War Factory, and already having good targets for it, even into the absolute wall of chaff i still would have picked it.
Your foresight is something behold, you are calling out your opponents moves likely before they started clicking. I was wondering the lack of early AA but didnt expect a whole Overlord to show up. In the end you won and like you say, the only fight that matters is the last one and you won!
Edits on point, easy to follow, making sure i dont miss the little things your quick mind glance over.
As always, wishing you the best of luck and all the Sledgehammers!
You're far too kind as always! This was a one of a kind game for me. We could see our opponent's plan and, as a fisherman would say, played the line out for him to nibble on without scaring him off. Knowing we could beat it if he did commit by being prepared.
Playing against a Giant Specialist we should've expected the Round 3 Overlord when we wasn't showing any Anti-Air, that was definitely a misplay that I'm glad we survived!
Think we both made a few mistakes here though, and if either of us had played better this game could've and perhaps should've been over sooner and more decisively. Replicate Crawlers was a bad call on my part, and Anti-Air Marksmen was a poor choice for our opponent. It happens though, and it's rare for a game to go truly perfectly - the skill sometimes is in accepting mistakes and correcting for them or incorporating them into other parts of the grand plan! Really enjoyed this game and I'm glad I got to share it, thanks for watching as always.
Excellent win! Man you had me on the edge of my seat. Scorp response to ranged WF is often unreliable yet you made it work, well done!
Thanks dude! Was an epic game, think we were very lucky to edge it out in the end :D
Fun match, you very nearly didn't make it, but the momentum you'd been building up reached what you needed just after. The acid really did make those war factories implode, wow
Yeah this was a mighty close game! Gave me quite a fright and those Combat Factories at the end are always pretty scary to be facing - the Scorp with acid melting the level 2 Factory made the game for me, it vanished in seconds!
Amazing game, honestly if your predictions weren't so on-point they would've cooked you for sure. Heck, you predicted almost every move and they still almost beat you. WP!
Haha thanks! I'm sure they were predicting my moves just the same it's part of the fun of close games like this one where you're both making moves off each other's plays. A proper back and forth!
Definitely the most epic game of mechabellum i've watched so far. Great reads from both sides. You got extremely lucky with the 2hp round but the next round absolutely brought the win home. GG
Thanks Forest! Yeah, was a great game - such a relief when we survived on that smidgen of health.
that football audio was too good, awesome video as always 😁
Haha, thanks - glad it worked well, was one of Editing DRN's crazy ideas :D
That was an amazing game also the touchdown crawler bit was great.
Haha yeah, that mobile beaconed Crawler making it all the way to the end zone behind our army was great fun.
Love the intro animations and the cards on screen, goes a long way in terms of quality of the video
Thanks dude! This was Editing DRN fixing my mistake from pressing record too late and missing the first round. The game was so good, I couldn't let it end up on the cutting room floor.
@@Drone_101 It worked quite nicely, you could even skip first round and do that all the time :))) but appreciate it's more time consuming. First round doesn't necessarily have such a big impact but hey, pretty cool
Yeah, I get you - think I'd prefer to preserve the entire play experience where I can. Was good to push me out of my comfort zone with the editing process though and it's fun to solve problems with imperfect tools.
What an amazing game ! I recently faced 4 war factories with repositioning of one of them but he had tech them to produce phoenix, sledges and balls + mobile beacon and despite scorpions with acid (no siege though) I got literally overwhelmed by his mass production and he wiped me off in 2 rounds whereas I was leading since the beginning and was about to crush him. Intense too but I didn’t find the right answer to his factories (and didn’t see them coming actually) whereas you perfectly anticipated and adjusted your play. Big lesson learnt and your game compliments it very well :) thanks !
No worries! We got a bit lucky here that he felt confident enough to play the Factories on a none-free unit turn and then Scorpions landed in our laps immediately after. Think there were lots of small points that could've cost us this game; Range on the Marksmen instead of Anti-air, slightly better missile positioning on round 3, a faster sell off of the level 6 Rhino.
At the end of the day I think it was the Top Supply Specialist, paired with our Elite starting specialist scaling into the late game that gave us just enough of an edge to hold out.
What would you have done differently if you knew you'd be facing 4x War Factories again yourself?
@@Drone_101 mmm.. actually I now do the "what was good what was bad" end session thanks to your videos and it helps. Often I don't narrow down my problem as good as you do but in this case I had storms and his factories being aggressively positioned I should have gone EMP to disable production I suppose, which would have allowed my scorpions and phoenix (levelled) to take them out. Instead, I unlocked melters and they were totally useless, burried under a mass of freshly produced units... Actually, how do you see your opponent is going for war factory just with chaff positioning? I don't get the pattern.
All good! Reviewing and reflecting on games is defo a skill that takes practise, the more you do it the better the results will be. Yeah, try and always think "one problem, one answer". It can be difficult but this game is centred around hard counters, so picking the best counter for a given situation is often better than having two softer counters to the same problem.
@@Drone_101 good input "one problem one answer" but sometimes i fail identifying the problem in-game. But more and more I can identify it during the end game session with myself or watching the replay to analyse the game more in-depth. Lot of knowledge learned from your videos but I guess practice is the best way.
BTW, if you still struggle with your audio editing, I'm still open to give you a hand and see if I can help you streamline the process. You could send me a raw un-edited audio file from one of your past video and I can see if I find some improvement, eventually (not granted but perhaps worth a try) ;) If that's tempting, considering there is no more PM in YT I could leave my email here in a "detached" format to prevent bots spamming my box, you pick it up and I'll delete the message right after (just trying to find a way to get in touch with you outside of YT). Your call and no offense taken if you're not comfortable with it of course ;)
@@Jeeboo007 Thanks! Really appreciate the offer dude but in truth there's more going on than just audio clean up. I move things around to make space for the music segments and to give Editor DRN a spot here and there.
The post match review is pretty much "raw" with zero edits now. Most people don't watch them according to RUclips's analytics and doing audio clean up for those 3 to 4 minutes of me just straight talking isn't worth it so I've been leaving the keyboard clicks and breathing sounds alone there and just masking them a little with the music. Apologies if the poor audio in places bothers you, I'm trying to find the happy medium, if I'm not careful I could spend forever on a single video! :D
Damn sexy game, swings and roundabouts!
2 HP and the dream is real! Now to have a 1 HP comeback game :D
Hnnnggg those predictions! Such a great game!
When the reads go well it feels amazing! :D
nice game! and the opening edit and arrows were perfect!
Thanks! Takes a while but think it's defo worth the bother :D
@@Drone_101 Definitly worth it! Best mechabellum content out there imo :)
AAA commentary Sir. Haven't bought the game yet, wanted to watch a few vids before making my mind up. I've enjoyed yours the most. Thanks for making the effort. Sub'd - hoping for more of the same in the future.
Thanks man! Hope you have a blast if or when you do get into the game and one day get cross swords with me in a tourney yourself :D
That was beautiful.
Cheers dude! The nuke was sooooo satisfying :D
Great game. I find playing Elite Specialist very difficult.
Can be a tricky starting specialist but scales really well in the late game so fun if you can live that long :D
Somehow i read it as minus 2 hp and a dream and i was like "what? Is our biy ascending to godhood ans defying death?"
Haha, good point - hadn't really though about that. Might have to drop the "Mechabellum" from the title of this one.
gg, subbed
Thanks man!
And you picked the tank again hahahahah.
A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!
