T90: "He should make like 20 skirmishers, he's being really stubborn on that." Sheriff of Nottingham: *has 10 skirmishers and 10 more queued up* Sheriff of Nottingham: *uses the 20 skirmishers he's made* T90: "You should really get some hussars here man, skirmishers are a terrible idea."
T90 thank you for uploading that fast. I could only watch half of this series because of the time zone. This is the best so far! Lastly, Slam is a great cocaster, please invite him more!
I feel like for april fools you need to introduce a match to one of the pros with fatslob and all 8 maps will be black forest and all civs banned except vikings. Make sure they think its hidden cup so they won't figure it out.
So this is what everybody is talking about. Yea I definitely can see its either one of Hera/Viper/Lierieyy. But we'll see. Im looking forward to the next game of this hidden pro we see here
How about a movie quiz about Robin Hood prince of thieves? Since the sheriff played in this game. 1.Who played the sheriff in prince of thieves? 2. What tool did he threaten to carve out Robin Hood’s heart with? 3. Who played the foreigner who follow Robin home from the holy land? 4. Who played Will Scarlett? 5. Who directed the movie?
T90, you are something else.... "The pants is just getting tighter and tighter for Sheriff, just like on Thanksgiving".... I was soo weak. LOL Sick, sick play from Katyan. Made me wanna take an extra year of practicing with AI before going online play.
Rewatching this to admire the savage Mongol aggression in game 3. Before every fight it seemed like a pretty decent matchup for Sheriff, but then Kotyan pulled out all the stops to make every single fight play out so unfairly. Absolutely abusing every little advantage, exploiting the hiccups for melee pathing with the wild wall ins. Zoos everywhere.
@@dadumbazz , there were also some times where Khan lacked mini-map awareness. Viper can read the chat and still rarely miss anything. It doesn't seem like he would miss red blobs if he doesn't even have a chat to read.
Would trashbow paladin have been a better play in round 3? I feel like melee only won't do it versus a micro heavy mongols player, but I realise the lack of mobility and range could be a problem.
In game 2 sheriff should've used villagers to build walls when sieging down that castle. Even without stone building palisade walls/gates around the trebs would help protect them from hussars just diving in and killing them.
Hey t90 i have been watching your videos for 2 years straight now and i like the way you commentate and organize such massive events for aoe2. I just have a comment i would appreciate if you take it into consideration and apply it if you see fit. The capture age overlay is great and all but it really feels like too much crowd for me and others too, if you would just make the font of the names smaller so you can move the power bar system up a little bit that would be great. Because this overlay is too much which is killing the experience and amusement for me. Thanks in advance and good luck.
Tbh i am pretty sure this was a Hera vs Viper round 1 matchup where Hera was absolutely in Point. Viper Always bans aztecs and chooses mainly hybrid maps and no other player than, besides maybe alaric the goth fits this description.
my only complaint :/ everything else is beautiful and perfect with so much effort put into it, capture age and the stats and the awesome co-casting, but for a $50k+ tournament where he picks the names you'd think they'd at least spend 30 seconds to learn how to pronounce them correctly. if it seems silly to care t90, idk what to say except you'd get more viewers
@@apparentlyplant9309 I think its optimistic to think that people are interested in accuracy. Plus most people dont know how to pronounce things not in their native language.
@@alexs7670 thanks for the compliment. the names are pronounced in the game for those who are interested in accuracy and don't know other languages, but is possible the hosts are too busy to have played the campaigns recently. it's a busy world after all especially with all the organizing and long streams they do bringing this tournament to everyone - so i understand. cheers
you should add filler video at the end of videos so we can't see who wins the last game in 1v2 win matches (by seeing video length). loving the cup this year :)
Personally I think Kotyan Khan is Vivi, high skill, unconventional aggressive strategies and decent execution of those strategies. Also second game was insane from both players especially from Khan, shame he didn't invest there more into raids, whole game was him with crippled economy going against healthy one and still holding and keeping it 50/50, amazing stuff.
It's a bad idea because it costs tons of resources, mostly stone. If you do palisade it's meaningless (late game units melt trough palisade). It also takes forever to build a wall so big and means a lot of vills not working for a very long time. Better just build castles and some palisade to block running past the castles.
watch for an hour, not really paying attention, "wow this game *has* gone on for awhile, but soon Kotyon will run out of gold and collapse soon" *checks how much time is left in video*

Sheriff of Nottingham: *uses the 20 skirmishers he's made*
T90: "You should really get some hussars here man, skirmishers are a terrible idea."
the whole sequence from 1:57:46 on is so sick. he just obliterated those paladins.
I felt like those paladins didn't behave normal, sometimes they just stack too close and don't attack
That was so unfair. Ranged units are OP in DE
charge of the heavy brigade
@@ichigoblackTWD It does seem like there are some issues with melee in DE. Kotyan abused all of them so horribly well...
@@NewandForgiven Yes, now knowing Kotyan was Hera is amazing
Last game: two japanese factions warring over an Ethiopian Christian church in the middle of the map. AOE can be weird sometimes.
It’s always weird just think about it the best civ for Arabia is Mayans and worst or at least one the worst civs is Saracens
One commanded by an English Sheriff and one by a Mongolian Khan
Khan being a beast with Mangudai. Makes sense...
It actually is kinda funny as he is the hero in the Cuman campaign and the Mongols are the main enemy faction.
A Tale of Two Cockroaches
Those two were amazing omg, the second game had me on the edge.
First time I was able to catch on twitch live! Can definitely recommend coming along if have only seen HC here on youtube.
Right decision by Sheriff to go Cav Archers. Always the right way to go.
T90 at 45:20: "I am not getting a DauT vibe from Kotyan."
Also T90, 10 seconds later: "Im getting a DauT vibe from Kotyan at the moment."
Yeah so that in b oth cases he can later say "I told you".
T90 thank you for uploading that fast. I could only watch half of this series because of the time zone. This is the best so far!
Lastly, Slam is a great cocaster, please invite him more!
56:28 is legendary
I feel the community suffered from having these two giants meet up in Round 1....but damn, those were a great four games!
the camel trapped in the roof xD
he died as soon as he was rescued! xDxDxD
I feel like for april fools you need to introduce a match to one of the pros with fatslob and all 8 maps will be black forest and all civs banned except vikings. Make sure they think its hidden cup so they won't figure it out.
@pranav Is fine that only works if the other players can"t defeat the guy quickly
Oh god, I will never be able to unhear slam as Jim Halpert now, it's really uncanny
Nunes oh no. Now me too.
I knew it rang a bell
“Oh, the pants are getting tighter and tighter around sheriffs waist right now”. 😂😂😂 absolute gold
T90: What civ gets extra HP on their docks?
Slam: Byzantines
THE NERVE OF THIS GUY
AMAZING LEARN FOR T90
This is my favorite casting duo. Slam is such a good addition.
Game 2! LMAO
The troll castle, the camel rescue, the hero miner
So this is what everybody is talking about. Yea I definitely can see its either one of Hera/Viper/Lierieyy. But we'll see. Im looking forward to the next game of this hidden pro we see here
How about a movie quiz about Robin Hood prince of thieves? Since the sheriff played in this game.

@@atlallthetime8193 pretty good! You got like 6/10 correct!

The historical stats are a very cool addition and show how much work the team put into putting on this tournament.
T90, you are something else....
"The pants is just getting tighter and tighter for Sheriff, just like on Thanksgiving".... I was soo weak. LOL
Sick, sick play from Katyan. Made me wanna take an extra year of practicing with AI before going online play.
This was in second game around 2:01:00
57:11 Saving Private Ryan.
these stats are sick and WHAT this game is absolutely incredible!
Great games! Crazy we've only seen half the players so far
These stats are amazing... tracking the daut castles and the initial scout war wins... honestly fantastic
Your videos are so good. I haven't played in about 14 maybe 15 years but you give me so much joy. Thank you
1:31:28 Kotyan had only 2 castles, but one of them killed more units than the 5 from sheriff combined!
Slamcast!
Edit after watching :
What a brutal contest, two extremely skilled players just faced off.
I literally sighed out loud at 1:24:35 That castle...
22:18 Sheriff's eco got hit by coronavirus, nearly all his vils went idle!

This has been awesome. Thank you!
The overlay looks great!
The question is whether it's Viper or Hera, but I'm pretty sure it's one of them
I feel too many walls for Viper. MBL, Lierreyy, Max and/or Hera in blue. MBL, I think. Not enough shenanigans for red to be a Chinese player?
Viper wouldn't have attacked the trade cart. Hera confirmed.
@@SenselessUsername , MBL without exhausted farms- is that really what you think?
@@dadumbazz , there were also some times where Khan lacked mini-map awareness. Viper can read the chat and still rarely miss anything. It doesn't seem like he would miss red blobs if he doesn't even have a chat to read.
@@Jay_Sullivan Read it again. He wouldn't attack a trade card because he'd find it too funny. Odds are that he would've pinged his market :)
My guess:
Khan: Hera
Sheriff: ACCM
c0mmment I Thought sheriff was more like fire or laaan
''MBL is the only person whom would have the BALLS to double boar steal.'' Ah T90 is such a pleasant fellow.
Bro, SLAM keeps holding in that cough. Man's got Corona
1:52:25 About Saladin -> "Oh, he'll win it tomorrow, mark my words"
This was the best match of Thursday by far ! Kotyan is Hera, has to be...
Strange world. Life goes on.
Now I really want to see that game you played @T90. Would like to see how similar it was to this game. 41:20
Blue's Castle on game 2 be like: *YOU SHALL NOT PASS*
The Match of the Day!!! Awesome games, sorry to see the Sheriff go out in the first round.
Would trashbow paladin have been a better play in round 3? I feel like melee only won't do it versus a micro heavy mongols player, but I realise the lack of mobility and range could be a problem.

Slam, awesome co-caster, btw!
After an hour or so watching game 2 .... I'm assuming it's still going on.
1:58 it was a knight-mare 😅
Best match up so far, I think both top 5.
Very good co comment!!! The best tbh
That second game tho, man, was it good.
Tbh i am pretty sure this was a Hera vs Viper round 1 matchup where Hera was absolutely in Point. Viper Always bans aztecs and chooses mainly hybrid maps and no other player than, besides maybe alaric the goth fits this description.
1:24:40 screamed with joy.
tc move to neutral gold and woodline on this map? closer to shore fish etc? hill bonus, never ending wood, easier walling?
what really grinds my gears? T90 mispronuncing hero's names

T90 says a bunch of things weird
Would people be mad if a japanese caster pronounced it "shellife of notinghamu"?
Convinced this was Viper and Nicov
.
RIP T90
amazing match, love it
What rotate with the scroll wheel? I tried it the other day and I couldn't.
Loving the uploads, went to twitch but it was playing yet. I will have to play a game too..

Great Cocaster!
1.54 ship spinning in the bottom left corner.
Go watch hidden cup 3 right now!
Is slam co-casting from the space station?
Can't wait curious to see ,who is who
Sheriff of Nottingham seems like yo and Kotayan Khan is either TheViper Hera or liereyy
Spoiler
At the end Slam was right... Saladin brought the heat.
Thats unfair , so much units on single tile its bad from aoe2 devs
I didn't get youtube notification for this video and the previous one.
Personally I think Kotyan Khan is Vivi, high skill, unconventional aggressive strategies and decent execution of those strategies. Also second game was insane from both players especially from Khan, shame he didn't invest there more into raids, whole game was him with crippled economy going against healthy one and still holding and keeping it 50/50, amazing stuff.
SPOILERS! my guesses
Hera (Kotyan Khan) vs Mr. Yo (Sheriff of Nottingham)
These are 2 top players.... hera is khan for sure
Sheriff of Nottingham is 100% Viper, because in HC2 he was Robin Hood :-)))
Trade cart OP!!
Who were they in the end ?
Instant of rebuilding Tc in blue's Base, maybe do a forward Tc in Mbl's Base.
It is Viper vs Yo.
The end of game 2 lumber camp, I get it wood=toilet paper
this game feels like a low elo legends game :))
When youre so high elo that your strategies devolve into trickling siege engines and attacking with trade carts. High elo is low elo
I will never understand why no-one walls their eco. You're fighting a meso civ. You *know* there will be eagle raids. *Wall your eco.*
Pros are such noobs.
"Power spike. I like it. Did you make that up?" -Slam
The mongols of all civilizations!
Kotyan is 100% viper
What if you make a wall from woodline to woodline in slopes?
I mean it would be probably a Bad idea, but can someone explain why?
It's a bad idea because it costs tons of resources, mostly stone. If you do palisade it's meaningless (late game units melt trough palisade).
It also takes forever to build a wall so big and means a lot of vills not working for a very long time. Better just build castles and some palisade to block running past the castles.
It is not viper....King Santos is The Viper
Dodging ballistics 🤔🤔🤔🤔 is this hera ??
amazing
7:55 😂😂😂
watch for an hour, not really paying attention, "wow this game *has* gone on for awhile, but soon Kotyon will run out of gold and collapse soon"
*checks how much time is left in video*
khan is definitely viper
Can we agree Saladin predicted was just way too lucky? #insidertrading
Don't feel bad ppl call me Edward too
Where is BBQ Turkmen and the other moderators?
Hello Slam!
Slam sounds like beavis and butthead when he laughs ..
