Outback Octagon 2 - It Always Seems Impossible, Until Szalami [Game 23] 

Baited

@@Spectr3 plot twist ngl

hahah love it

Very true😂

as a beasty fan that hurt my soul lol

@@ZacharyBeamz I like beasty too but man, he was bad on this tournament. The level o the players are just too high.

@@SergioPolimante he’s just not doing great. Which is wild, he’s absolutely the best player, he just keeps getting shitty situations, game 4 had a triple non aggression pact south of him while anotand is just popping off. Game 4 was mega weird

true, imagine trying to all-in in Feudal for 3 points and the king moves almost like a horseman and is unkillable by archers. I feel like everything except cavalry just doesn't work in feudal to kill the king

yeah, the only way to get feudal kills is with either a much better spawn or a age2 knight civ. beasty had him surrounded, but the king just tanked like 200+ arrows

I was thinking the same thing, being twin brothers, they might be side by side in Mom's basement.

ML decision to turn back was reasonable given the force guarding it which would have annihilated his force. At the point, all the players needed to attack the site ala Szalami clutch hold. The puppy had been left in occupation of the Sacred site too long. On reflection, this is perhaps an unintended consequence of the format. We defending your king is all or nothing and king snipes most likely in late feudal or early castles most players tend to turtle, attack their neighbour or try to snipe a king with cav instead of invest in a slow siege or worrying about sacred sites. It just so happened that it was taken during a moment where everyone was locked in conflict or anxiously trying to stay alive. One other thing to note is that Puppy was playing op china and any other civ would have struggled to fortify so quickly or effectively.

@@hughroe8598 yup

OB1 was much more fun and entertaining (until the last 3 games) thank OB2. Like Salami’s sacred win was top tier for sure, but it doesn’t feel like the players are having fun. This series has shown me that Nomad and Regicide don’t belong together. To easy to king snip. And with sniping being the general theme, the soul of Nomad FFA is being washed away more obviously than the last 3 games of OB1. Drongo is more concerned about constant combat, and less about the natural story and progression that 8 players experience battling each other for 1st in normal Nomad FFA (preferably Maga Random). Still the best AOE4 content on RU-vid though! 🤷🏽

probably the funniest match in the series

Well he had time for the missing wall segment, so actually his own fault in the first place.

@@BlumenkohlBroccoli1 yes unluckyness and stupidity

Well didn’t you see Faye Chan, Blade or Viper?

To be fair, he should know that king have huge defence against arrow and build some damn knights

@@BlumenkohlBroccoli1 I guess he was prioritizing his wood for rams and army so he felt it wasn't necessary to build the final long wall segment but that turned out wrong.

Especially going completely across the map like that. Definitely suspicious.

this was just the best moove to do. puppy was already age III since many mins and beasty still age II. It was obvious that beasty was weak, especially because ML got the kill of Wam. It mean that beasty must lost his army, and with his king in the TC he had no chance to survive to the attack. I would have done the same instead of puppy

@@mildreck429 The fuck are you talking about puppy must had inside info about beasty vills and army going down otherwise by your logic why didn t he go for ourk who was closest to him age 2 and just lost whole army to szlami wolololo which he could obviously see instead of guessing by wam's king going down to Marinelord

Nomad and regicide don’t belong together for this reason

Yeah I’m going to be honest, after watching the game it actually seems intentional from those 2. They knew the sacred site was being taken, knew that szalami was pretty hurt on military, and decided to not attack the site together. And then when it was too late, Szalami seemed to be the only one that was actually upset, because the other 2 just completely let him have the game. I’m a newbie so my opinion doesn’t mean much, but from an outsiders perspective, I probably would have investigated them for wintrading a tournament.

😂

All the players with 1 point could be alphabetical :P

Ourk acted like an idiot and threw the game for no reason. I don’t know why but it seems like every time puppypaw just gets ignored by everyone until he booms out of control.

​@@frankdevo5715also I called 10 times he is on China

Agreed. Ranged armor is a punishment to anyone unfortunate enough to get English. Beasty got robbed for how much he invested.

That king was being consistently fired on for over a minute thirty by some 12 longbows and 20 some villagers at times. It is insanity that he can just walk through all that.

You need to pop your own king out of a building and then spend res to trigger the kings ability to see where all kings are on the map, it doesn't last too long though

There was no way they were gonna decap it so they went for a kill (point) instead

@@eXXRazer I mean earlier. Not just at the end.

Yeah, I mean they didn't even try... Kind of weird to let the game fall short without any real attempt, by the time they started going for the site they already knew it was too late, at least Szalami could b credited with some deception in the chat to buy him some time, but idk wat here other than putting pressure on the guys to the south, but that left the center wide open for business for anybody else, but literally no one came... Not a soul... Seems very odd in such a high level tournament to see the ball dropped like this for sure...

Puppy had too many knights running around

@@japie8466 but the knights were occupied, and any slack he gave would have just been letting the southern camps back into the situation... I would b open to something at play that explains the situation better, but as of right now yeah, it's just the knight pressure, and that just doesn't seem like enough to run the board like we saw, it really looks like we just watched the best players in the world all dropping the collective ball...

They make mistakes to varying degrees pretty much every game... Lol but yeah...

İ think playing a rts flawless is impossible for a human being

do you realize that the ottomans can access that bombard for free? it doesnt need buffed. its just slow and costs 1500 resources

@@APcraft747 Jesus Christ, how can you not understand a single word? 😂

@@laranjeirashome6818 dont take the name of the lord in vain

Agree, it's a cheese

It's just punishing poor map awareness really hard. Any player at this level should just split off 2-3 knights every time the site gets past 8 minutes and flip it neutral.

well, people are imperfect, so are the rules of this tournament. So very opportunistic, not rewarding systematic buildup of an advantage. I hope next outback octagon is better.

When did I give up? I tried to rush down beastys tc by bringing vills to siege and get the kill lmao

Don you played it well

This tournament is set up to reward that behaviour. Outback 1 was better because of this
