That match was amazing. I can't believe actually won. I was rooting for him in the first half of the match but figured he was done for after that. What a come back.
I would have named him MVP too... until his catastrophically poor decision to go on the offensive at the end, abandoning the north front too while still taking pressure from light blue. He had control of all the remaining resources and was able to hold, all he had to do was hold position and win via attrition, and then he threw it away...
Every Soviet player ever "BUILD HEAVY TANK, SOVIET SMASH!" meanwhile the allied player "I'ma gonna just cruisssssse in here with some medium and light tanks annnnnd your construction yard is dead"
A long time ago when I was young my father and his friends used to play RA2 on this map on a LAN setting.. I used to sit on his lap while he would basecrawl with powerplants and tesla coils obliterating his enemies and sometimes fail epicly this brings back so much memories, thank you Sy :)
The first time I see FFA in RA 1, very nice match. Iron curtain usage actually had great ROI too. In the end, the biggest army player could have stayed at home with still functioning eco gotten the rest of the ore on his side, and likely win the 2vs1. He was so out of position with his army.
Just saw your channel in my recommened, and this is the 6th? 7th? video I've watched in 2 days. I used to scoff at the idea of e-sports casting, but you are really good at this and between that and a series that I've loved since childhood, well, let's just say I'm glad you have a ton of videos!
This match is a reconstuction of dividing the inheritance after father's death (USSR collapse) between the childs (Biggest USSR republics: Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan and... republics of the Caucasus region?) and decided to grab a little good for themselves the Capitalist world.
...what happened to Wugazi? Did he just... like... somehow not notice his base getting torn apart? I feel like he could have lasted a lot longer if he didn't bother Blacksun's base and instead fought his invading army.
6:20 I strongly disagree. It's opposite. If enemy comes and fights near your base, that gives you a lot of building room. You struggle in this map because there is ore in your way. You constantly have to manage where ore trucks goes and you have to wait to build. If some ore disappears because of fighting, you get extra buildings up faster. (for really early game I mean)
'historicaly' its been..have the production capacity kept functional and you just need to build a building to 'unlock' things...without needing to keep said building around so selling it of wont reduce your production options ..unless all production capacity in that class is lost ,then you lose the unlocked hardware options when rebuilding the production buildings... dont remember if it was that way in RA2..but i know it was that way in RA1 & tiberian sun+firestorm and other of that 'era' of C&C
31:40 I think that was a huge missplay. 1. didn't scout the map for WAY easier targets 2. once that iron curtain goes down his tanks just SIT THERE and get roasted. Pulling back for 30s could have saved it.
Revisiting the Red Alert 1 universe with better military knowledge, the Medium Tank cannot be the Abrams and the Heavy Tank cannot be the T-80. The weight classes were wrong. Based on the era, the most lore-fitting would be: M48 (or some modernized variant) as the Medium Tank - this would settle the part where the gun was either 90 mm or 105 mm as some modernized M48 variants used the 105 mm. T-55 (or some modernized variant) re-scaled for double barrels as the Soviet's basic tank. The concept of Heavy Tank would be deferred to another. The T-55 here fits! because there are T-55 modernized variants out there which look very much like the T-80 shown in RA1 cutscenes. When you have captured both sides' War Factories, the dilemma would be whether to build $800 or $950 tanks. They are both so close in cost and effectiveness that they both almost if not make each other obsolete and clutter up your build menu. The solution is to introduce the M60 to replace the $800 option and remove the $950 tank to be replaced with an expensive $2,500++ Abrams that will become the new Heavy Tank, which could even be double barreled as you have combined both sides' tech. The M60 here fits! because there are M60 modernized variants out there which look very much like the Abrams shown in RA1 cutscenes. Then the old Mammoth itself will be bumped up into a higher cost and power level.
I'm in min 3 but I can say, green and cyan are the pro guys of this match.... loving to predict who will win Min 18 Cyan loss, because he was tripled most of the time End: Ah lol Cyan won XDDD
Wohoo I don't know why but I was rooting for Photonics the entire time even tho I thought he would lose multiple times throughout the game. Really played well, strategical and tactical. Well deserved win
wugazi would of lasted longer if he had gone with light tanks instead of medium tanks as well as his spawn position is kinda bad as its in the middle having extra 1-2 sides that he needs to defend.
I play with these guys all the time, they are not the best players, also you dont seem to know a lot about C&C, happy to go through it with you if you want and send you some of my replays
This was a great match but I feel Lukas deserved to win this. Photonics and Jack Teaming up like that in a FFA defeats the whole point of a FFA. They shouldn't have comms like that, telling one player to attack in one place while the other player hits another. Win on your own merits. Just kinda scummy imo
If he played it better he probably could have won. Moving all of his units to the left side of the map near the end was a bit silly. Photonics was definitely the better player consistently throughout the entire game. Blacksun just had a strong position because he was passive in the first half of the game while everyone else was aggressively mining up ore and killing each other, and then Lukas benefitted at the end from Blacksun being passive and failing to keep Lukas (and Photonics) off the available ore that he should have been able to control.
Possibly, there is that 10% though that these guys were never actually talking to each other, but knew each other were weaker so decided to attack the strong players first. But yeah I think right at the end, photonics dropped jack a message saying "attack Lukass now, he's dedicated to killing me". Still, I don't mind seeing tiny alliances like this, but I do see where you're coming from
@@MegaPepsimax I mean Jack could clearly see the situation of photonics was dire so his, it could come to both of them naturally not attack each other. Also worth to note is the fact that both players kept their sides I take the left you take the right, they haven't coordinated their attacks so it wasn't alliance in the full meaning of the word it was more of a non-aggression agreement between both. If Black Sun utilitiesed better 5 MCVs he had at his disposal he could easily dominate the game by overwhelming opponents with a sheer number of units he could spam ore trucks and tanks in the same time while producing power plants and tesla coils on standby.
All that Glitters is such a lame map. Ive got to say, as a RARM ranked player, there are some extremely good "standard maps" and it certainly is not All That Glitters. Its a sad excuse for a map imo
