AoE2 2v2 World Cup | China vs Finland | Grand Finals 

28:39 *"I'm really new when it comes to technology" ~ T90* That explains why he has been playing AoE2 for all these years. Never figured out how to download a new game.

age of empires... the only place where make your castle inside the enemy territory is a valid strategy

crazy to see a game from my childhood is still, if not more relevant today lol

New drinking game: take a shot every time T90 says it's gonna be GG and the game keeps going

That last game with Ruben being the boom player and Matt taking the more supporting role. I was totally caught off guard by how well that went. I thought for sure that it would be trouble for Finland, but they showed very decisively that they could switch roles at the drop of a hat and still do almost just as well. A very well-earned victory. I'm so happy, seeing probably the most prominent game of my childhood is still going stronger than ever today. Even entering the modern e-sports culture and having such a great competitive scene almost a full 20 years after its initial release.

I’m glad I found this in my recommended section. Used to love this game back in the day. It’s nice to see people still play it nowadays, specially in such a high level :)

Can't Rubenstop the Rubenstock Rubenstomp.

1:24:05 hard to say if Max actually PLANNED on it, but Lyx destroying his own lumber camp in order to escape/keep up in the vil fight was simply hilarious. Totally understandable brain fart for Lyx there

The longer video is really nice because I can't accidentally get spoiled on when the last game is going to end based on the length of the video. It's probably a big hassle, but editing in a random amount of just blank time at the end would be appreciated .

I don't even know there is AoE tournament before seeing this video. Bring back memory and am amazing how AoE pvp can be. Really nice match!!!

TheMax is a frightening beast. TheViper is amazing - especially his technical understanding. But I don't know anymore who is scarier in a TG - Especially if TheMax is a cavalry civ. Rubenstock is perfect for a team game. He is unbelievably random and has no regard for meta from what I can tell. And he's mentally tough for what I have seen him play.

2:45:00 the game basically won,seeing there is a pot more time we in the video, breaking my brain worrying HOW one could throw this, turns out they just do an interview at the end xd

Slightly late comment but wow, am I happy I found your channel. My favourite game and I was sooo not aware that it was still being played... Great stuff so thanks for the upload.

OMG .. Game4 was best one ever! I like Winland gameplay - they keep on doing insane stuff and win. They are real AOE masters.

Well deserved win for the Fins. No matter what people say though, I believe that Rubenstock was the MVP of the event. His ability to harass and be an absolute thorn in people's side no matter the situation fit TheMax perfectly, and in the last game we also saw that he can do TheMax' role perfectly. He truly was the most flexible player in the entire event, all thanks to his unrelentless tenacity, and although he certainly isn't the best of all at traditional play he showed to be the perfect player for this event. All hail Rubenstock, dropper of TCs! Cheers from Norway!

It's past 4 am here and I was finally about call it a day, but then this appeared! Sleep has called gg! (:

i swear my plan was to quickly scroll through the video and i watched it all, i'll sub for that

“Thank you for the resub FantasticMidget”

Such a great series! Since I can only watch aoe on RU-vid and not twitch it’s great to have most of the games in this series uploaded to RU-vid.

Legend of Rubenstock... damn, he can do it all. And Max with the boom

I've just watched WOLOLO 2020 Semi-Finals and Grand Final and next on Autoplay was this........ WOW!!!!!! I never even knew there WAS an AoE2 World Cup. Geeeeez, where have you guys been hiding?

And now almost two years later, China A represented by Yo and Lyx manage to win the 2020 2v2 WC. Funnily enough with a score of 4-2 !

Amazing man, thank you so much!

Was watching the VOD for this last night, hours after I fell asleep I was awoken by the Hidden Cup Trailer. I was too tired to open my eyes but I listened to the whole thing, smiled and went 'nice', and fell back asleep.

So cool to rewatch those old gems

In their hands, villagers actually have combat power, and are way more powerful than cavaliers.

Let's not forget TheViper offering up his water buffalo to TheMax for peace on water nomad in the semi finals. Classic play

Rubenstock best MVP of all tournaments ever!! What a beast 😎 so much courage . Also, funny how both Chinese players were playing without TC in chaospit xd Also thanks for longer video! No spoilers thanks to that (and avoiding comment section).

Such a cool series of games. Go Finland.

Didn’t even know this was a thing! Nostalgic game!

I've been hyped for the 48 hour stream the entire time and at the end I saw it's scheduled for 22nd and realized you upload it a few days late, wew

T90 thx for your gread Work! Keep going :-) its alway nice to watch your casts. Greetings from Germany And mery Xmas to everybody

What an amazing series!!

OMG this was soooo exciting, congratulations to Winland, love them uwu

FYI on France. "Out of 168 battles fought since 387 BC, they have won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10", making France the most successful military power in European history-in terms of number of fought and won.[1][2]." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_France

Congrats to Finland on a great tournament! Norway and China series were some great watches.

Chaos pit, hilarious game

Game 4 so many people saying in chat how stupid Rubenstock was for not following through the wood line when it happened. Finland had a massive advantage at this point in the game obviously, they could tell by the score and by what Lyx was doing with his villagers that he had no town center or lumber camp. They knew they had an insane villager lead, they did the smart thing by taking the highest percentage chance to win the game which was to take your massive lead and boom off it knowing that both chinese players are going to be stuck in the same corner of the map with way fewer villagers and far less resources. The only reason the game even went this long was because Yo wouldn't let it go.

Really enjoyed this world cup man! Thanks for the great videos.

Wow I'm learning so much from this vid

Really nice! Was pretty rubenstocked about the TC fights! And also, so much rubendocks on that strange map. Shame that the video rubenstops

Just brought aoe 2 hd from my child hood this is better than new games

Big fan here of AOE I & II Definitive and Original Eds. Keep it up!

Great set ! Great casting!

China forcing Winland to play by the books DAMN

Saw the vid in my recomended, called some friends over, booz and weed bought, food ready...... lan party night. o7

wicked series subbed

I didn't even think this was a thing but now let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Great teamwork. :)

Every day is a school day. The ebb's and flows of high level gaming. The fire boat strat was most enjoyable. Long may you stream.

God I hope this game never dies.

I played AoE2 a lot when I was a kid. Not on this level though :D

It's funny how sheep are waiting for their turn to be slaughtered.

The feeling when I have the old CD version from before The Conquerors DLC, and one after that DLC came out, and the Steam version including all the DLCs and here I am watching videos about the game as well... does this count as an addiction? xD

Wish you would use the zoom function now and then, to give a better overview without jumping around. looking at the minimap is difficult

24:04 Actually he attacks ground a few frames before the castle is placed

gr8 games gr8 commentary

How often is this held? When will be thenezt World Cup? 2020 maybe? I guess there won't be any in 2019 since the DE is still pretty new and changes need to be made...

I think the reason Mr. Yo was able to be MVP of the tournament was because of Lyx. Lyx could really screw over everyone else, and that led to Yo carrying later. Both the games that Finland wiped out Lyx (Bedouins and the Nomad) were games that China lost since they could take Lyx before Yo got his insane late-game rolling. Reubenstock was really key to this because he in some way almost neutralized Lyx's crazy with his own (a demo on demo situation)

Hyvää suomiii ❤️😍Happy Finland

Having never watched this game before, and not having played this game much either, this is kinda difficult to follow.

Is the first time i see this game played like actual chess.

wow, age of empires 2 is still played on 2019 ?

Call gg before your units die? Did the point gain during the game (show on end screen) change the value of win/loss?

Well that was interesting!

Damn, just look at the destruction animations, they should do this to the other childhood games like arcanum or so

I started playing aoc again after so many years. Are the top players like daut still playing aoc?

Winland!! Wooo

I know that sleep schedule though, doing after my night shifts, cant wait till your break is over ;)

Rubenstock MVP of the set

Let's celebrate the winner immediately after Xmas, OK? Meet at 'The Place'. That was amazing run for both teams, came so close several times. Exactly the way you'd want to end the Series!

We need the Finns as a new civ in the next expansion

@1:27:18 had Rubenstock know about the financial condition of lyx for wood , he would have gone for one more tc drop😅

The popularity of this video inspired another 2v2 national tournament. 2020 AoE2 World Cup 2v2 is coming!

good tournament congratulations Finland 👏

It would be nice if you could somehow disable the attack notification sound while spectating. It's so annoying in team games since it is constantly going off.

Awesome cup. Well deserved win for Finland . the insanity of the double tc drop was my highlight.

Hello T90 , I have been following your streams on youtube likee crazy......I just wanted to know from where I can download the AOE2 version which you host and how to play it online ??

you should make highlights videos from the tournament

i used to play this game and i loved it

Thanks for another fantastic stream T90. You're the best in the biz man. And congrats to Finland. WP guys. (Oh, and Yo is MVP or the tourney? Lol. Yea. No. Rubenstock for MVP. #Clearly)

I really watched this whole thing thinking it was the most recent 2v2 world cup.

Never tc drop when playing vs rubenstock

just got into AOE, which should i get the remastered or the original?

Was watching the Match but got distracted by the argument in the chat between notverylove and other people. 21:20

this game is so enteraining

How to make a tuetonic healing fortress near impervious to physical attacks - imperial age, fully upgraded: 29 tuetonic knights, 21 hand cannoneers, 10 monks. Square formation, stand ground. pair up this group with 20-30 teutonic knights, 60 pallies split into two groups of 30. Use alongside siege units to take down ranged units en'mass and save lots of gold

hello can anyone give em the link to download the game please

Man leggit AoE II Old School looks and sounds so much better than DE. Please, bring it back.

This is dope

hello which of the age of empires 2 game series

Are they playing with map reveal on?

19:36 buttlicks is stabilizing

Age 2 aged so well, sometimes I am a bit sad that age 3 did not recieve nearly as much appreciation from players, even thou the game is not bad at all.

Rush Battlecruiser must be good here

I am very confused. Why didn't Lyx just attack Max's scout at 2:21? We had enough time to kill him and prevent the lame

Do u have this replay for download?

wish i continued playing this game. i remember doing 2 vs 6 amd held my own. miss it

this is two years late but game 4 looked like a zombie apocalypse with vils chasing each other

what does idle stay for?
