Since the WC3 Champions ladder was introduced, we've been able to face some very fearsome opponents who made their way up the ranks, but this time it's different. We're fighting against the current number one ranked player, DeMusliM!
This was amazing. Grunt+shaman combo, tc seemingly immobilized at every fight, 3 ports back to base... Seemingly game over but then tc breaks through the Breaker defenses to the casters and it's game over for HU. This was like a gold metal Olympic hockey overtime goal.
You've been my all time favorite player in the entire gaming arena, Warcraft, Starcraft, Dota, LOL etc combined.... and I'm Korean (with natural inclination towards Korean players usually) ! Really love it that you're still doing this after all these years :)
Well those spellbreakers are spell immune so they wouldnt take dmg from it I think. TC wasnt able to go to backline back he was getting focused... maybe he should have sold it for $$$ & consumables.
Beautiful game. Sick micro. You really are a mature player who seems to know exactly what he is doing at every single point in time. Love your insights, love your videos, please continue making them 🙏
@sam griess grubby is probably a millionaire and plays games for a living, i guarantee you that he has a better PC than you do. Stop being a sped buddy its a bad look
aah, what a beautiful refreshing experience with those awesome graphics, sounds and that gemaplay after that horrifying (mini)season of WC3R. God bless WC3
What truly baffles me is that the Classic graphics in Reforge actually look worse than in the original, especially the spell effects. That's how badly they fucked it up.
What an intense and beautiful game ! You managed your army, items, healings, micro and macro soooo well ! that was realy impressiv ! Thanks for your great work !
I remember back i nthe day when I played Wc3 and Grubby had like 1200 wins and 300 losses or something on the Ladder. I was always amazed by those insane stats.
I really think that breakers are stronger than rifles. I’m surprised we keep seeing rifles as the standard vs FS TC grunt shaman. With breakers you have so much more defence against the stomp. I think grubby won this game with the eco harass, Demu not punishing the expo while it was building, and of course on the back of a lvl 6 TC at the end showing some sweet dangles into the human back line. I think Grubby is right in that HU needs to skill into blizz once the shamans come out. Tough to find a good time to do that when trying to build a critical mass of breakers.
Fun fact: Seeing your face playing against another Pro looks quiete a lot like my little son when he's really into building stuff or drawing pictures. Only difference is that he still has his tongue out - a sign that his focus level went to 110% ;-)
Why did you keep the Cloak of Flames on the Far Seer ? Is it because the Chieftain was only in contact with Spellbreakers who are immune to it ? In that case, why did you not sell it ? I really can not see in which situations the FS dealt additional DPS because of it :)
Everyone talking about the lil itemization mistake of not having cloak on TC, which dont get me wrong, would have worked wonders. But is nobody going to point out the fact that grubby's wasn't wrong at the end. If arch had reskilled to blizzard, human would have won. His largest mistake was that Grubby had the resource advantage and hero level advantage this entire game, but didnt leverage it enough and gave the enemy almost enough time to win. Literally had DeMuslim bought 1 less spellbreaker and gotten blizzard, game was over for grubby, grubs should have ended it much sooner.
It's such BS that all human casters have auto-cast spells (heal, inner fire, slow, spell-steal) while orc casters only have one auto-cast spell (bloodlust at Tier 3). And their Spellbreakers, which are front-line troops, are magic-immune.
I was asking myself, what are these unit comps. Trading grunts into breakers should suffice. Then remembered the ridiculous fact that in TFT, where spell breakers were introduced, medium armor started taking 200% dmg from magic attacks. Human frontline choices are mostly just ass against orc. Rifles in the backline could have helped but then again this game was a huge contest for getting TC and farseer spell dmg past the spellbreakers and into the backline. Suppose the Spellbreakers were a good choice after all. Without that lightning shield ecorading, would we have seen gryphon play, what do you think? Interesting matchup!
Heavy armor is 200% against magic damage. Medium armor is only 75%. And breakers being magic immune take no damage from magic attacks. Breakers were the right choice. The combination of harassment and breaking through to the back line in the last fight to kill the casters won it. But grubby had trouble against the breakers. Grunts beat breakers, but not if the grunts are slow. No walkers mean the grunts had little way to not eat the sloes.
Glad to see more wc3 I do enjoy dota every now and then but I've been watching you since the old days, I can understand the move to dota as wc3 has been botched but I do enjoy these top tier games 😁
I just popped in here (I haven't watched/followed grubby in a while since I'm a sc2 fan more than a war3 fan) but I gotta say I'm surprised: The top ranked player on the warcraft 3 ladder scene is demuslim? I would have thought it'd be some hotshot young up and coming pro, not a retired sc2 player turned caster (no offense/dispresect to demu - it's just odd to me that an ex pro turned caster is top dog in another rts).
Why don't human players utilize spellbreaker's steal magic ability? Using it on wolves would force the other player to waste mana dispelling them and could potentially ruin their micro.
I've always wondered out of the million key presses you do in a match what percentage of the would you say are meaningful inputs as opposed to habitually key pressing.
Since the WC3 Champions ladder was introduced, we've been able to face some very fearsome opponents who made their way up the ranks, but this time it's different. We're fighting against the current number one ranked player, DeMusliM!
Really fun to watch! Would be kind of cool to go back over a game like this and have both of you commentate on it!
Wait like demuslim from sc2!?
@Phil Konnors you literally have no idea what you are talking about, right?
@Phil Konnors what if it's DeMuslim like dethrone or defang
de muslim one of the only pro uk boys i used to play 2v2s with him like 10 years ago when he was mym.demuslim good old days^
you just can't win against grubby when his mouth is open and taking extra oxygen
LMAO true
ROFL 🤣 🤣 🤣
Rofl this made my day
Makes his head even longer
xDDDD
grunt and chaman in zeppelin are real mvp's here
Yeah they wrecked havoc in the base. Not expected Demu to allow them to stay that long.
Shaman*
They killed more workers than a lvl 5 warden
He will build more tower against grubby next time
This was amazing. Grunt+shaman combo, tc seemingly immobilized at every fight, 3 ports back to base... Seemingly game over but then tc breaks through the Breaker defenses to the casters and it's game over for HU. This was like a gold metal Olympic hockey overtime goal.
24:25 Using Orc movement speed to charge the gap in the front lines is just *chef's kiss* perfect. Well played Grubby.
You've been my all time favorite player in the entire gaming arena, Warcraft, Starcraft, Dota, LOL etc combined.... and I'm Korean (with natural inclination towards Korean players usually) ! Really love it that you're still doing this after all these years :)
The pendant of mana drop 24:20 before using the mana pot for extra efficiency middle of critical fight. Epic play 🤘
That harass was beautiful. Give a raise to that grunt and shaman.
not gonna lie, it triggered me when grubby didnt give the cloak of flames to tc...
Me2
He frequently makes weird decisions with items though, like ignoring / selling some for no reason (unless it is end game with no gold left)
Well those spellbreakers are spell immune so they wouldnt take dmg from it I think. TC wasnt able to go to backline back he was getting focused... maybe he should have sold it for $$$ & consumables.
reb1138 then you have to ask yourself if you are the one making the weird decisions
Mistake didn't become aware of it lol
Beautiful game. Sick micro. You really are a mature player who seems to know exactly what he is doing at every single point in time. Love your insights, love your videos, please continue making them 🙏
When even Grubby plays with the old graphics, you know Reforged has failed miserably.
Are they playing on the reforged client but with the old graphic settings turned on? I'm out of the loop
@@lulu-gt6kl Probably, I don't know that.
@@lulu-gt6kl Yep.
@sam griess Nonsense, considering it played HotS just fine.
@sam griess grubby is probably a millionaire and plays games for a living, i guarantee you that he has a better PC than you do.
Stop being a sped buddy its a bad look
That grunt & lightning shield harass on worker line made me lol a few times 😂
Didnt expect to meet you here vimp
Ze vimp is here too
that speed scroll retreat when MK invuln into turn stomp nuke was beautiful
24:32 That stomp was golden
Exactly. I didnt think it would hit lol
The stomp that won the game.
He stomped the entire map there. He even stomped previous game's oppo i think...
aah, what a beautiful refreshing experience with those awesome graphics, sounds and that gemaplay after that horrifying (mini)season of WC3R. God bless WC3
What happened to wc3r? Can I still refund it :D?
What truly baffles me is that the Classic graphics in Reforge actually look worse than in the original, especially the spell effects.
That's how badly they fucked it up.
A worthy, skilled opponent. And incredible game by itself. GGs. Your tactics is always impress me, Grubby. Keep your mind in sharp.
What an honor to be able to face the best player. That Human player is probably pretty happy because of that!
1 grunt + 1 shaman harass :o that was so effective ! you should use that more often.
@16:23 that perfect Tauren save 🤣. Grubbys level is beyond human.
"I think he would have won.."
He had three gold mines. You had destroyed army and 13 coins of gold.
Yes, I think it too :)
*Sorceress slows Zeppelin Goblin*
Zeppelin Goblin : "FUUUULL SPEEED AHEAAAAD"
Hahaja
What an intense and beautiful game ! You managed your army, items, healings, micro and macro soooo well ! that was realy impressiv ! Thanks for your great work !
Ladder: *exists*
Blizzard: wait, that's illegal
Grubby, I'm always amazed at the tactics you pull off in your games. Keep up the good work!
That was an amazing game. The constant harrassment was extraordinary!
5:17 Congratulations to grubby for getting the Xp on the water elemental and not losing it to the gnoll creep. 👏👏👏
I remember back i nthe day when I played Wc3 and Grubby had like 1200 wins and 300 losses or something on the Ladder. I was always amazed by those insane stats.
This is one of the most intense things I've ever seen in my life haha
you know shits going down when grubby doesn't make a sound
Wow, just wow!
This was a great game to watch, was hard to tell who would win. Both players done amazingly :D
Great surrounds and TC focus with the breakers.
I know I'm 3 years late but damn that was sick wow, just wow
Awesome game man! Even though it was close it seemed that you were in control for the majority of the game and made some really smart moves.
Flawless game grubby though I was screaming to pass cloak to tc
If no one has said it yet... So happy to see classic graphics!! Also, very nice and entertaining replay.
Damn, got recommended this outta nowhere. I remember both players from SC2.
To remember grubby from sc2 and Not Classic wc3 is a sin actually
Best come back I've seen , great choice of fights and when to retreat

Stop bullying rank one
Incredible game, I love watching you play and I've been following you ever since your first victory at WCG.
Fun fact: Seeing your face playing against another Pro looks quiete a lot like my little son when he's really into building stuff or drawing pictures. Only difference is that he still has his tongue out - a sign that his focus level went to 110% ;-)
Nice man,i love WC3 and i love the orc. nice video!
Grubby is a class above with the goldmine aggression and battle sequencing. Although the number one ranked player was no push over.
Orcs vs Humans give some of the best fights in the game... You can feel it can switch favors in one stomp, one clap, one chainlightning or blizzard...
Vol'jin watching before you trade your barracks for your army: "Do not let de horde die dis day."
Just like in 2007 eh grubs hahaha history repeats itself
2:04 wise words from the god himself "everytime you lose, someone wins". well hell, i didn't know that my man.
That player is very good. I could tell you were trying your very best. Your lightning shield harassment on his peasants really hurt him.
Grunt &lighting shield harass MVP
man i'm a little late to the party but Grubby is so damn good omg
Dude the tauren plays won you those late game fights thta was insane
Cloak of flames + lighting shield wouldve been so pog
Undoubtedly a great game, but I thought it was a rather straightforward win for Grubby, which he prolonged unnecessarily. GG!
I don't understand why DeMuslim chose to not fight the harass on his main. A rifleman or sth would have made the harass on his main much harder.
! GG !
Beautiful.
still got it champ. just like the old days ;)
That was a good game. Excellent economic harass operation, little cost but big pay out. Good work Grub.
4kGrubby legendary gammer!!!!!!! Love you playing
In rank game it doesn't matter how Good you started it is how you end and win the game
the maN himself keep it up grubby!!
Damn that was intense. I thought you lost when your mining base got destroyed
20:53 NO WAY! Great save!!!!! Omg
I heard Reforged wasn't so good as people expected. But I didn't know it looked the same as before.
this is classic lol
Awesome stuff Grubby.
Come on Grubs... Oct 2020... Reforged graphix pls.. embrace the change and get used to it, stop putting off the inevitable
Gg! Way to stay patient
former sc2 pro. awesome guy!
Why did you keep the Cloak of Flames on the Far Seer ? Is it because the Chieftain was only in contact with Spellbreakers who are immune to it ? In that case, why did you not sell it ? I really can not see in which situations the FS dealt additional DPS because of it :)
Mistake, I explained post-game but we didn't edit that part in it seems ;P
those spell breakers really are pain in the ass
More invis on the TC? Chain lightning, lightning shield n wreck casters? Alchemist, acid bomb and heal?
Everyone talking about the lil itemization mistake of not having cloak on TC, which dont get me wrong, would have worked wonders. But is nobody going to point out the fact that grubby's wasn't wrong at the end. If arch had reskilled to blizzard, human would have won.

Was not expecting to watch this whole thing. The item management is incredible...except Cloak of flames....disgusting tp scroll swaps with TC!
Welcome back pro
Cloak of Flames on FS all game really hurts.
Seems so weird to creep the big camp and not pay attention what item drops lol
This is absolutely a blowmind game! Glad to see it for the first time hahaha
T3 transition to taurens vs mass breakers in that situation would be the best course of action cause pulverize melts breakers.
what a crazy game ggs
It's such BS that all human casters have auto-cast spells (heal, inner fire, slow, spell-steal) while orc casters only have one auto-cast spell (bloodlust at Tier 3). And their Spellbreakers, which are front-line troops, are magic-immune.
Wow incredible game, amazing micro skills.
Nice play....so intense
play on the edge, well done both
Nice game, you should do a voiceover edit to explain somethings, its kinda quiet. GG though
Vrauy epic game :D
Holy cow what that was
Nice play!
well he lasted longer than ToD at least XD
It is only because Blizzard nerfed and made HU weakest race in ToDs game copy

@@samuelrussell5760 must have been knackered while checking up the armor charts last night. You are correct ofc. x}
that eco haras... secret to victory
Grubby's mic for 95% of video "Am I a joke to you?".
On a serious note, it's impossible to play at that pace and comment at the same time
Such a great game. Love watching Grubbs Orc v Human matches. I'm a Human player but I am never rooting for most of these Human players. 🤣🤣😭😭😎👍💪
good way to start the day ;)
Glad to see more wc3 I do enjoy dota every now and then but I've been watching you since the old days, I can understand the move to dota as wc3 has been botched but I do enjoy these top tier games 😁
Bro I played tft and roc as a kid n it blows my mind the level at which you play at..
Little did he know he would be no. 1 in a week
Rank 1 meets the real rank 1
that's what i call anxiety clicking
lmao full game of the "grubby face"

Well he has several years of being a top dog in WC3, it is the same as saying that Flash would now be bad in SC:BW if he turned caster last year.
Why don't human players utilize spellbreaker's steal magic ability? Using it on wolves would force the other player to waste mana dispelling them and could potentially ruin their micro.
The game was insane !
I've always wondered out of the million key presses you do in a match what percentage of the would you say are meaningful inputs as opposed to habitually key pressing.
In the beginning not many. Mid-Late Game, all.
