A balanced t90 = A better t90 Take your time, read that book, take that nap, and find your balance! The community will be here after you take your time you need, you deserve it!
the hidden cup idea is amazing, other esports should also adopt this, it is super fun to watch, and it is awesome that even though I am not up to date with all the memes, you keep us updated with commentary and the showcase!! I am sad that I missed the excitement live! or even on a watchparty :D
@@Geckokidthepaladin such a shame i wasn't aware of it! hopefully there will be more aeo2 events in London. would be nice to make a lan party with those nerds at some point!
Looking around 2:50:11, the TC has 1775 hp before the mangonel volley and 1642 after. That's 133 damage, give or take since repairs. A TC costs 275 wood to build, and has 2400 hit points. BUT it costs twice as much wood to repair. That means 0.23 wood lost per hit point repaired. That means 3 wood per mangonel volley, two mangonels so 1.5 wood per shot. And its firing every 3 seconds. A villager gathers 20 lumber/minute, or 1/3 per second. That means a mangonel shot costs 5 seconds of villager gathering time (ignoring dropoff time). Meaning each active mangonel is roughly equal to one and a half idle villagers. Plus the repairmen of course. Tbh i expected more, considering how Gajah had 23 on wood and the amount barely ever goes up. Guess there's more stuff happening in the background there.
Obviously great results for Accm and Liereyy as well as Hera. Hera is another level if I didn't know any better I'd say he grew a third arm or something
Indeed. His ability to perfectly maneouver so many units simultaneously while maintaining a perfect eco with upgrades is nothing less than astonishing. He could probably beat me blindfolded.
The knowledge about their peers of the 3 biggest players... Hera, Viper and Liereyy found out all his rivals after their series. What a beast! x3 PS: Sorry for not being surprised about Nicov. Maybe the new ones in the game don't know how big Nicov was and how smart he is.
I couldn't shake the feeling that the cannons were sounding as these pictures popped up and revealed which tributes didn't make it at the Hunger Games.
Watched games and reveal live, came back for T90 emotional speech. A beautiful moment, thank you for sharing your journey. Best Hidden Cup yet! T90 is an absolute gem!
Epic tournament. As someone who played the game as an 8 year old, thought it was dead for several years, then discovered replays on RUclips and the HD edition around 2017, it's awesome that this game is still alive and has a very active player base in 2024. Screw the haters bro. Thanks to guys like you, SOTL, and a few other mega nerds obsessed with the game, we still have a way to play this 25 year old game with each other! You're helping thousands of people reconnect with simpler, happier times in their life and that's no small thing. Rock on!
Hidden Cup V was nothing less than amazing!! .. although the Grand Finals could have had a little more spice 11 also.. T90 good luck in the future. take care
Nothing is as easy as it looks :) Streaming and putting this constant performance, for thousands of people can actually be quite exhausting. so .... Thanks you for all the work you put in it. I feel happy that it worked out for you. Stay humble. You are making this world better. Peace And ye, burger to Nicov
Between Hidden Cup and the Seasons, you're helping so much to shuffle the best players and put the spotlight on as well as line the pockets of many lesser known players. And you have so many great activities around the game like Community Games and LOL. Congratulations on your achievements!
You are a legend T90. You are the biggest builder of this community and you did it outta the sheer love for the game and you deserve all the bag you made. We all reap the rewards that you have sown and you deserve your rewards too. With love... a really casual AoE fan and a biiiiiih Hidden Cup and T90 fan.
Hi team, BerryTasteTester (green) of the mighty BerryBrigade here! I've just got back at1am to south coast UK having been at the live London final. What a community. What an event. And Hera, what a player. Like all people at the top of their game, made it look easy!!! Thanks for the shout outs on stream and to all the people who said hello and had a chat at the event. My first event of any esport ever, and if you are on the fence for the next one, go!
Hey man - Chezdon here, we played against each other in a 2v2 yesterday morning (I played as Viatnamese). Can't believe I've bumped into you, and we share the same surname lol. Shame it was a 4-0, but it sounds like you had a good time. I'll be at the next one!
I'm just about to watch the final after watching the semifinals on RUclips. Such exciting casting and games from the players! I wanted to support this event after the fact so I purchased a Hidden Cup V Hoodie from the store. Thanks to all the great guys involved in this event, hope everyone enjoyed themselves as much as I am.
Man, what a great community, what a great tournament. Wherever you are in your life, whatever your struggles may be... This event is always so heartwarming. It's feel good from start to finish and for that, congrats to everyone who worked on this. Thanks to production. Thanks to the participants. Thank you T90 ! And thanks to us, the viewers. Love, everybody
I'm almost 40 years old, but still feel a slight sense of loss when a tournament is over. Maybe just me 😂. Thanks for putting on a great show: our T90.
t90 I just wanna say that YOU made this possible, through sheer passion and determination. The game is alive thanks to you, man. Take pride in what you do, you're a special one and literally tens of thousands of people will always respect and love your work. Keep it up!
God we love you so much T90. What an awesome and wholesome guy. I’m so glad I found you man. Ps. I was Yepr who yelled “WE ARE WASTED” during the 3rd place match
I like Hera and the level he has reached in the game, huge respect for the grind, skill, dedication and perfect execution. But honestly, the final matches were not as exciting as the other fights (Nothing against Hera or Lierrey here, just my honest opinion). HC is the platform to put this out, as we do not have 100 % confirmation on the players, even though we sorta know who it is. Viper came out in yellow for the semis and delivered high-quality entertainment, even though he lost. Same with the 3rd place series, TheViper and ACCM gave the viewers a lot (even though we *knew* it was Tatoh). Daut, Jordan and MBL were fighting to win. But the final series was just too one-sided. Hera too strong to touch right now, I guess. Probably we are now in a similar situation as when TheViper was winning everything, and making matches one-sided. Amazing show T90 and all the casters, thank you very much for this. Haters don't matter, like the uncuttable tree of the Gajah Madah evacuation game (the best one of HC5?). Take care T90.
i agree, personally jadwiga-otto was the best series in the cup, so much fcking fun and such a close one also, much better than the final. but in regards to hera, i think its one of those things where theres no one (imo) who currently puts in that much time, effort, strategy, and practice into winning a game than him, hence his complete domination recently. i believe they all take the game seriously (well, myb not mbl as much, which is why hes my favourite), but still cut corners, hera is just on another level of dedication. i wonder when the devs will come in with the hera nerfs tho.
i think you have to assume that hera and lieerey still train a lot together and they probably know which points are critical for win/loss at certain scenarios and whenever lieerey felt like he couldn´t win anymore realistically he just threw in the towel.
Great tournament! Unfortunately the finals was a slaughter hahahah but the whole thing was so much fun from the hidden identities to the awesome stats and awesome graphics and awesome games. So sick! Hidden Cup VI here we come!!!
Was able to watch the entirety of the HC5 stream this last few weeks. Man, what a ride. Sad I couldn't participate live, but it was still SO ENJOYABLE even if it was recorded. Just speaks to the quality of the tournament and the casting. Great job to everyone involved. To HC6!
Always love hidden cup, so glad it's back! I wasnt able to watch the final live because there are just too many games happening in quick succession. My one bit of feedback for the format might be that it happens too fast if you dont want to miss any of the games or speculation, it'd be nice to have 1 or 2 days for people to catch up before the final big days. As for the games themselves, it's a shame that Otto/Jadwiga game in the Ro16 was the only close one in the entire tournament, but there's nothing anyone can do to prevent that. Also whilst guessing players is a huge part of the fun, I think it was maybe a shame this time how close a lot of the guesses were... 1st, 2nd and 3rd place were correctly identified before we were even out of the quarter-finals, and we only got 1 or 2 surprising results (like Tatoh being out early and ACCM going the distance). Again, nothing anyone organising the tournament can do about this. Normally in tournaments i only watch the finals, maybe the semis, but this year in hidden cup i watched every game intently except for the final which i skimmed once it became obvious it would be one-sided, and we knew who both the participants were
Awesome Tournament. I also feel that Lieerey is such a beast too although he lost here. Feels like he just needs a bit more confidence against Hera in particular.
Absolutely amazing content T90. You and your team deserve all the praise for organizing this. Take care of yourself, wishing you all the happiness in the world 😊 🎉
Could not keep up with the live streaming, but I have watched it all here on RUclips. Thanks a lot - amazing that you and the community can make this happen.
T90, you do a great job, and you don't have anything to prove to anyone. I know I posted a few comments about a year after HC4 asking when HC5 would be, but it was only ever meant in good fun because I was excited for it. HC is my favorite AOE2 tournament.
Awesome work from everyone involved! Have a nice well deserved break Tristan! What an intense ride it's been. Pretty cool to see how top heavy the player guessing results are. Clearly the majority of viewers know a lot of players by heart!
Thanks for waiting to post spoilers. I just found time to watch through all of them finally and what an exciting tournament this was. Super fun idea and thanks for putting so much time and effort into it. Cant wait to watch the next one. You got me back into the game after only playing as a kid similar to you.
hey T90 love your contents i watched all Hidden cups love them! just a suggestion to add for next hidden cup if you could add a separate price pool for when players successfully trick everyone that he is not majority people think he is that player get a price it doesn't have to be big i think it would make game more fun what do you think?
I think it’s important to listen what the winner said (I am trying to keep spoiler free, but it’s about what he said at the end of the live) The hidden cup tournament should be finished before all the streams of the rounds of 16 are starting. The idea of new maps with new meta and nothing is seen online before the games I think it is really cool and really important to make the hidden cup a even better tournament next year. That will be really hidden and nobody has a clue who’s is the tactics used in the previous matches, and I really like the idea honestly. In the semifinals it was clear that Liereyy knew that he was against the viper. What about nobody knows nothing. Totally blind on who is coming?
good idea but would be incredibly hard to keep it complete secret as all these players either talk together from time to time, or have fans that watch multiple players, so I imagine it would be easier to accidentally leak who's going to play tourny under those circumstances. everyone would be harassing the players, maybe the players misspeak or let it slip. I do really like your idea tho
congrats to winner I am sad to see my Heros lost i.e Mbl, DauT and 3rd place hero (no spoiler for this video). I really wanted MbL to win but he won hearts though so did Princess DauT but I really felt heartbroken for 3rd place. I am sad I couldn't watch Live because I had Anxiety/Panic attack in second game while watching maybe it was because of I got sure the 3rd place was 100% confirmed because of his reveal style. He always reveals who he is in his last game. I am very sad about whole ordeal. I am all fine now I went to emergency and was taken care they gave me some antidepressants and sent me home. I love this game. Love you MbL, DauT, Orjan, Hera, T90, Dave, every player, Robo, statsguy and everyone involved with HC5.
This tournament is great! I usually don't watch games live, but if there would be a Hidden Cup 6 I'll save the date. I know that doesn't mean much after a few months but this is my guess list: Vasco - Hera Pachacuti - Yo Sumanguru - Gangi Jean bureau - Sitaux Jadwiga - Jordan Otto - MBL Gregory - Tatoh Gajah Mada - ACCM King Stephen - Daut Selim the grim - Mihai Khosrau - Viper Sigismund - Vinchester Alfred - Barles Jan Zizka - Sebastian Alexios - Liereyy Robert - Hearttt
1:48:48 FUN FACT: If Viper or Hera were from Southeast Asia earning a total of 12K dollars a year (minimum) from Age tournaments. USD 1000 a month. That's equivalent to a Senior Executive Manager's pay grade! I covet thee. We had to work 6 days a week under a hierarchy of leadership, show up at the office from 8 to 5, and swallow our pride as the boss' cousin's friend's girlfriend took our parking spot. I hope ACCM can become bigger in AoE2 someday. Go take the trophy, my friend, it's very rewarding.
what a crazy event.... really loved to watch it even though i wasnt able to watch every match... looking forward to hidden cup VI... maybe someone will be able to break heras victory streak!
Like Dave said, the Hera Era is in full swing. As a long time Viper fan, congratulations to Hera, the man lives and breathes aoe2 and I don't blame anyone for losing to him. Of all players in HC5 ACCM was the worthiest opponent to Hera and I'm glad they got a set of games together.
Hello all I am ret*rded so it takes me 10 extra days to catch up to the finals so I am having a drink with everyone in retrospect as if it were live thank you all the production team and players! What a great event
Glad to be part of this wonderful community! Thanks T90!
Be aware: There might be someone cutting onions in the end. Love you T90. You keept the game alive somehow, and it is wonderful!
3RD PLACE STARTS 42:00
GRAND FINAL STARTS 3:30:00

He practices against 5 or 6 mid-level players. He's so fast it's hard to follow. ADHD++
I'm impressed with Hera improvement. Used to watch a lot of him (3y ago) and for me Viper was the best, but now this guy is in another level.
We all need to give a burger to Nicov
Where is Nikov?
@@khanuet2220 he didn’t qualify. But he said that ACCM had 4-zeroed Tatoh and nobody believed in him 😂 and they bet a burger

Rooted for Alexios the whole way!

Larry with the fixed archer pathing is a beast
I've been around for almost 4 years. This has been a wild ride and I'm looking forward to the future of t90 content.
Great tournament!
Unfortunately the finals was a slaughter hahahah but the whole thing was so much fun from the hidden identities to the awesome stats and awesome graphics and awesome games. So sick!

Great job to everyone involved. To HC6!
Spolier:
Amazing tournament. Sucks to see Viper not perform in his Semi and then be back to his usual self in the 3rd place match.
Sad to hear T90 burnt out - take that break you deserve it!
Good Tourney! Thanks for the good work!
T90, thanks for literally everything, dude. The content was awesomely entertaining. I'm glad you'll be taking some time off. You earned it.
Ive never watched an esports event where i so strongly didn't want it to end.
Classic T90 hidden cup outro 😅😂 all good brother, we love you regardless of how much you "embarass" yourself.
Such an amazing & exciting event!!! Every Hidden Cup has been the highlight entertainment of the year for me!!!
Always love hidden cup, so glad it's back! I wasnt able to watch the final live because there are just too many games happening in quick succession.

Amazing week of content T90, Love you bro!

Thanks for an amazing Hidden Cup! Take all the time you need to find the right balance.
Love you T. Thank you for your hard work! This was dope from start to finish.
Get some rest!
Gracias por una nueva Hidden Cup, ojalá no sea la última. Increíble de comienzo a fin, gran trabajo!!
An awesome mod: villagers are Dave or Tristan and make noises appropriate to their character
@t90official there is ebb and flow to everything. Put it all in when needed and relax when possible. Sprinting all the time is a marathon.
awesome! great job T90 and Hera - Canada represent!
T90, you do a great job, and you don't have anything to prove to anyone. I know I posted a few comments about a year after HC4 asking when HC5 would be, but it was only ever meant in good fun because I was excited for it. HC is my favorite AOE2 tournament.
Another amazing Hidden Cup!! So great to be playing the game if my childhood again
I also wonder why T90 said multiple times that semis are played live, when in fact it wasn't live, it was played the day before
Well done to all! What a great tournament. Also, for Nicov: 🍔
Loved the reveal and the games have been so refreshing seeing the players with no idea who they were. Thank you T90 for doing what you are doing!
LOVE YOU T90 - U ARE AMAZING
Awesome work from everyone involved!

Super fun idea and thanks for putting so much time and effort into it. Cant wait to watch the next one. You got me back into the game after only playing as a kid similar to you.
I wouldn't even be surprised if the upcoming change to TC accuracy was done just to nerf Hera and his tyrannical aggression...
Hidden Cup week is the best week of the year.
Thanks for an awesome tournament. It was difficult to keep up with all the streams during the week, but I just finished now, and it was really good!
3rd place matches was really the best here!
Awesome tournament, thanks T90!!
hey T90 love your contents i watched all Hidden cups love them! just a suggestion to add for next hidden cup if you could add a separate price pool for when players successfully trick everyone that he is not majority people think he is that player get a price it doesn't have to be big i think it would make game more fun what do you think?
Around 1:35:00, 56min into second game: "If Gajah Madah is MBL, ..." --- spoken like a man that hasn't seen a single match involving Otto the Great.
Dude i hope AOE2 grows! This was awesome as a spectator. Came in as an MBL fan, now i love ACCM and Hera is pretty dope too!
I think it’s important to listen what the winner said (I am trying to keep spoiler free, but it’s about what he said at the end of the live)
The hidden cup tournament should be finished before all the streams of the rounds of 16 are starting. The idea of new maps with new meta and nothing is seen online before the games I think it is really cool and really important to make the hidden cup a even better tournament next year.
That will be really hidden and nobody has a clue who’s is the tactics used in the previous matches, and I really like the idea honestly.
In the semifinals it was clear that Liereyy knew that he was against the viper. What about nobody knows nothing. Totally blind on who is coming?
good idea but would be incredibly hard to keep it complete secret as all these players either talk together from time to time, or have fans that watch multiple players, so I imagine it would be easier to accidentally leak who's going to play tourny under those circumstances. everyone would be harassing the players, maybe the players misspeak or let it slip. I do really like your idea tho
@@kamewoni true but better than the semifinals we had. We can make the point that accm lost because he knew who was going to be against 👀👀
t90 you the goat, keep staying you man you've done so much for the community
A fantastic series. Seeing a few of the Ro16 players out so early was a surprise.
At least we know the next qualifier is going to be huge.
It was awesome to watch it all, thanks for the hard work to make it happen t90!
congrats to winner I am sad to see my Heros lost i.e Mbl, DauT and 3rd place hero (no spoiler for this video).
I really wanted MbL to win but he won hearts though so did Princess DauT but I really felt heartbroken for 3rd place.
I am sad I couldn't watch Live because I had Anxiety/Panic attack in second game while watching maybe it was because of I got sure the 3rd place was 100% confirmed because of his reveal style. He always reveals who he is in his last game. I am very sad about whole ordeal. I am all fine now I went to emergency and was taken care they gave me some antidepressants and sent me home. I love this game.
Love you MbL, DauT, Orjan, Hera, T90, Dave, every player, Robo, statsguy and everyone involved with HC5.
This tournament is great! I usually don't watch games live, but if there would be a Hidden Cup 6 I'll save the date.
I know that doesn't mean much after a few months but this is my guess list:
Vasco - Hera
Pachacuti - Yo
Sumanguru - Gangi
Jean bureau - Sitaux
Jadwiga - Jordan
Otto - MBL
Gregory - Tatoh
Gajah Mada - ACCM
King Stephen - Daut
Selim the grim - Mihai
Khosrau - Viper
Sigismund - Vinchester
Alfred - Barles
Jan Zizka - Sebastian
Alexios - Liereyy
Robert - Hearttt
7 out 16... Not that great, but that was fun!! 😂
Thanks for the Work T90 and everyone who contributed. 👍👍👍👍
1:48:48 FUN FACT: If Viper or Hera were from Southeast Asia earning a total of 12K dollars a year (minimum) from Age tournaments. USD 1000 a month. That's equivalent to a Senior Executive Manager's pay grade! I covet thee. We had to work 6 days a week under a hierarchy of leadership, show up at the office from 8 to 5, and swallow our pride as the boss' cousin's friend's girlfriend took our parking spot. I hope ACCM can become bigger in AoE2 someday. Go take the trophy, my friend, it's very rewarding.
what a crazy event.... really loved to watch it even though i wasnt able to watch every match...
looking forward to hidden cup VI... maybe someone will be able to break heras victory streak!
Like Dave said, the Hera Era is in full swing. As a long time Viper fan, congratulations to Hera, the man lives and breathes aoe2 and I don't blame anyone for losing to him. Of all players in HC5 ACCM was the worthiest opponent to Hera and I'm glad they got a set of games together.
Bro ACCM is a beast i'm so impressed with him
Ggs! I was so surprised by who was who!

Hello all I am ret*rded so it takes me 10 extra days to catch up to the finals so I am having a drink with everyone in retrospect as if it were live thank you all the production team and players! What a great event
I love age of empires, but even if I didn't, I would still love hidden cup.
NOOOO I missed all of it live!
I didn’t want it to end! Amazing work everyone who helped with this.
1:41:49 T90 Said it Right!!! Well done T90!@@@@
