mate, I just wanna say, I haven't missed a single 1v1 video of yours - I really appreciate the effort you make to improve as a player and as a content creator. I wish you all the success
That 2nd game was highly impressive for me. I was in awe with that game! Very instructive. I somehow got so much respect for that game and your Phantomenal foresight.
For real! Phantom played that amazingly, I was impressed. Based on the opponenets potential settles I thought he had it in the bag. I would have taken the 9 10 11 ore sheep sheep though instead of what he took. May not have worked but having no ore really screwed him over.
That first game I was amazed they didn't take 8-5-10 up 9-10-11 with the starting road and plow you, that looked like an amazing setup to me. Keep on crushing it Phantom, #1 here we come!
Leaving me the 6/9/4 into 4/11/5 and 8/3/4 is pretty deadly just to get a plow to a 9 ore and it might not even pay off if I roll the 6 lol. Also I don’t hate 6/11/12 and cutting him from the 9 ore
Oh man that entire 8:00 to 8:30 was MAD. You blocked your own wheat where you produce 3 to his 1, then you 4:1 your wheat for an ore then you say you don't want to aggressive knight and remove it from the one roll that gives you a city, only to 4:1 your sheep for a wheat... MAD MAD MAD 😂😂😂 Entertaining but MAD 😂
Hey nice wins. What are your thoughts on RB into 6-11-12 rather than 2-5-10 @ 41:30 instead? That was my instinct, to double the 6 wheat and restrict his space even more. I think the 11 brick is actually quite nice for you too. Keep it up! #1 soon!!!
In game 1, could it be a strategy to take 8/4 with brick port as second settle, just to destroy his game plan? The 3 wheat isn’t amazing value for you?
34:37 the biggest thing for me would have been to see jf I can’t snag his 8:3 settle spot using the YOP in the next turn(s). His game is kind of toast if you do. But definitely understand your city reasoning
Is there a particular reason why the guy in the first game couldn’t go 5-8-10 and 9-10-11 and use the free road to cut you off from the 9-10 with the 3-1 port?
In game one, why isn’t second player doing 8510 and free road on 91011 to pouch to 3-1 port and 910? Still good production along bottom of board to leverage.
@@ThePhantomCatan Would have been interesting The other player would have the 3-1, two wheat spots (and a 3rd one settle away), start with an ore, ability to quickly settle on 9 ore, etc. But honestly take your word for it! haha

Didn't notice any major change in commentary, still very enjoyable.
These were some of your best games ever. Maybe the new playing style is what’s making a difference, keep it up 🎉

I love the faster pace. Still plenty of commentary. Keep 'em up.
Love the content! Love the long videos. These 1v1 games I always watch on my lunch
Thank you for always helping all of us constantly get better at catan
Keep it up with the 1v1s
the self-block robber strat on a hex you outproduce 3:1 is wild
I’m crazy

Nice vid, would love to see tournament videos :}
can you put in chapters for each of the games?
well played!
47:20 you had 15 road potential. going around the 9 wood and then connecting at the 5 11 ore. gg phant. keep grinding. rooting for you.
You ever thought about streaming on twitch?
Should I?
@@ThePhantomCatan Yes sir
first game - your oponent should go 8:10:5 (sheep,wheat) and 9:10:11 and cut you on 9:10
In game 1, could it be a strategy to take 8/4 with brick port as second settle, just to destroy his game plan? The 3 wheat isn’t amazing value for you?

Yes I think that’s a good idea
Is there a particular reason why the guy in the first game couldn’t go 5-8-10 and 9-10-11 and use the free road to cut you off from the 9-10 with the 3-1 port?
hey Phantom, do you think you would still city the 6-11-3 now knowing you were going to end up blocking the 6 anyway? (over the 10-8-3)
in the last game
Probably still the 6 wheat (it did win us the game at the end) but there isn’t a huge difference I don’t think
In game one, why isn’t second player doing 8510 and free road on 91011 to pouch to 3-1 port and 910?
Still good production along bottom of board to leverage.
Actually if he leaves me 6/9/4 I’ll probably take it and destroy him
@@ThePhantomCatan Would have been interesting
The other player would have the 3-1, two wheat spots (and a 3rd one settle away), start with an ore, ability to quickly settle on 9 ore, etc.
But honestly take your word for it! haha
Why not take the wheat port first and then 3:1???
Like, comment, watch

If first game opp takes 5810 and 91011 youre screwed
