Dawn of War - Soulstorm | Negative vs. perser84 - Best of 3 [IG vs. Tau] 

I love it, every time Astro says "Well, Mont'ka can be good if....." you know he wants to end the sentence with "If it wasn't for Kauyon"!

I think Mont'ka can be just as strong as Kauyon. It's just not meant for fighting head on but rather for harrasing vulnerable points and gens with crisis suits and other jumping units and then overpowering the enemy with hammerheads and superior economy.

Great video. I really enjoy the recording with the narration. Nice audio footnote for intelligence of game match. Keep the new matches. Thank you.

insane micro by IG wow

If tau wants to have any chance of beating IG in the late game is to go Kayon and spam baracudas and stealth suits to deal with the enemy IG vehicles because IG vehicles outrange Tau hammerheads and they have better armor so tau needs the kroots to soak dmg and baracudas and fire warriors to do good in order to have any chance in the late otherwise tau is fucked by IG Also the Crisis suits are absolute dogshit unit.

Thanks for the vid. :D Was interesting to see the limits of montka.

Can somebody tell me why those top tier players flow thousands of rec and power without even being fully capped? Is this some kind of special strategy I am not aware of? Thx guys and great cast, btw.

wow i cant remember this game was a long long time ago the game is at least 9 years ago

Don't 'Ka vs IG in 1v1

So much bad moves and wasted units by tau in 2nd game, maybe man was tired. Late tau without fw wtf?

It's a shame that we didn't see more basilisk harassment, or it is just the meta. Players rush to Tier 4 and smash each other with their best units.

I think mont'ka is just as good as kayon. He's just not abusing its range. His units dies constantly. Kroot hounds are much better than crisis suits though. He's also floating a lot. He had all the chances to bear negative but bad micro and all the pskyer stuns doomed him.

I feel like Hammerheads need higher damage or range or mobility or something and Crisis Suits need to be cheaper or in squads or have more flexible weapon customization for Mont'ka to be useful. That or just don't make the extra unit upgrades exclusive to Kauyon.

Kauyon is anti-melee; Mont'ka is anti-ranged. Mont'ka is the correct choice against IG. IG player was just better. Tau made no use of damage reduction from Fire Warrior shield drones, or disruption from XV88 missiles and Skyray missiles. Vespids are essential at all stages of the game and devilfish are essential once available. Mont'ka is inherently attack based and not enough attacking was done. All that jump infantry and stealth allows for instantaneous concentration of force, but the player kept sending them in one by one. Range counters slow melee. Kauyon would be inherently countered by IG just shooting the various Kroot.

Wouldve liked to see some steathsuits with fusion blasters counter IG armour

If he used his units more intelligently he could have won relatively easily once he had the hammer heads.

love the game since i was 3yo but never played pvp can u pls tell me how diftent maps afect races since the stronger army wins no mater where it is.

good content

The moment he was destroying the imperial guards base and split his crisis battle suit attack and hammer head attack into 2 separate attacks instead of hanging back until he could have amassed a larger army was the moment he lost. Also using the flame thrower upgrade on crisis battle suites was a mistake the flame thrower is worthless. You want to combine your kroot attack with ranged attack and you're basically unstoppable. You utalize the kroot squad with leap upgrade to tie up as many units as possible while your ranged squads attack from afar along side hammer heads, the best way to use hammer heads is to keep them moving.you can utalize the jump ability (crisis battle suits) to jump into the middle of infantry squads. The fire warriors can utalize different upgrades to make them effective against vehicles. The key to using Tao is intelligent managment of the melee and ranged squad dynamic along side constant micro and use of stealth squads to disrupt the enemy base and resources. He was good until he got to tier 4 it was like he didnt know how to use those units or somthing Hahahaha. He had the game literally in the bag but allowed his hammerheads which at the time were pretty much his only units to be destroyed.

Perser84 still playing wtf

Nice video

Отлично

30:38 wtf guardsmen destroyed the listening post and it's still there to build

Is the community still going pretty strong for this?

As IG, should you build táctica control during T1?

only option i see for the tau would be full focus on harass with stealth suits and baracudas.. both players floating so he can just keep spamming units on the front and jumping on IG's tech buildings. Fighting head on IG always wins it's not even funny lol

You're right btw, the Tao main advantage is infantry. The crisis battle suits with flame thrower are worthless always use missiles

12 years ago...

I dont know if games where the players flood up to 1600 are worth to cast. I guess its hard to find good replays?

I wanna see a flyed ones rush get countered

I don't think this players are elite in what they do they made a lot of bad decisions ..

Awful games. IG did not deserve to win.

So on the second game the Tao players main mistake was not utilizing the kroot along side his ranged fire warriors with crisis battle suits (missiles equipped) and hammer heads along side missile barrage from other vehicle (cant remember the name) all he had to do was use the kroot to tie up the main bulk of negatives forces while maximizing damage from ranged unit with lots of micro of course. He would have won. He looks like a novice player here.

if his a good tau with his skill he couldnt even beat a comp

Tau player (sorry for this) kinda sucks -> is too slow to get to higher tiers and bad choices between Monka and Kayoun as well as having pretty big army which is camping away of danger doing basically nothing...
