Sodapoppin: "Just HOW long is Dreadlord's stun?!" - Grubby teaches new Fiend opener - WC3 

That’s awesome

You and me both! I just bought the game again after all these years. Grubby is a gem. Also these types of collabs make his personality shine more. I hope he continues doing content similar to this because his teaching ability is great.

I played it on and off until reforged and haven’t played it since.

hahahaha wtf

I'm mostly used to SC2 and idk if its much different in WC3 but feels like in a situation like that the best move would be stop command cause its 1 click instead of 2 and also has no risk of doing something like that.

HAHAHAHAHA

@@Dschonathan For Soda in that moment, maybe better. But more armies are melee focused in WC3, for a different composition stop command might leave some units in the back not attacking.

didn't notice that live haha

It's actually sad to think he used to be the World #1 Feral Druid Gladiator in World of Warcraft but can't even follow these simple keyboard commands from Grubby. Soda is so washed up. You had to memorise 8-10 different classes in WoW and keep track of 30+ abilities and their cooldowns and in different combinations depending on your team set up vs. the enemy team set up, all in real time while simultaneously trying to micro your character. Rank 1 Gladiators' brains go at light speed, yet Soda's brain kept crashing every time Grubby asked him to do more than 2 things at once.

@@MaxsSwole hes learning a lot all at once, most people will be like this no matter how good you were at another game

@@MaxsSwole RTS is the hardest genre to learn, I used to play Counter Strike 1.6 at a relatively high level and I think that was easier, RTS has a lot of complexity, and that's why the genre is dying, because people are lazy and want easy to play games

@@MaxsSwole He was never #1 feral druid(maybe ranked on ladder for a bit), but I will absolutely defend him here. Most wow players would eat their own lunch getting coached on WC3 if they have no RTS experience. I have over 30 glad titles and 6 R1 titles in wow arena and I'm a duelist in WC3, and I've been back on WC3 for like 2-3 years. Soda is getting extreme sensory overload right now, way too much info all at once. He would benefit from spamming games vs computers and watching streams but surely doesn't want to bore his viewers. That being said, sure there's alot of situational awareness involved in wow arena(less than moba/RTS) and some quick reflexes(less than moba/FPS)but for both PVE and PVP that game is NOT very hard(Mostly /played). I guarantee you if most pros of MOBA/RTS/FPS had the incentive to get max level and compete they absolutely could but the barrier to entry without the incentive is a boring dungeons and dragons walking simulator all the way to max level(for retail that is, original xpacs were amazing), and most wow pros would get destroyed at high level of any of those genres even with a year of coaching. We do have a select few insane gamer talents that could crossover if they had the drive(Ex: Snutz or Chanimal). For the majority though, R1 glads are bigger mouth breathers than you would imagine. ESPECIALLY with WeakAuras now playing the game for you. Addons have tragically turned my beloved wow arena into a button mashing + Bop It audio queues combo.

Besides, isn't WoW PVP like a glorified rock-paper-scissors? 😂 I fail to see how being good at it helps, lol.

i knew i heard right

for a newbie at warcraft he sure follows grubby's commands really quickly and even remember his previous teachings. right now he just needs muscle memory to micro/macro quickly

@@unprovoked99 Grubby is doing all the decisions for him though and that's by far the hardest part of RTS

​@@bdrferreiranot really, doing the decisions is easy, it's knowing what your optimal decisions are that is hard.

@@totallylegitenergy2559 I think they actually meant making the decisions, not performing them since soda is the one doing them and grubby is the one making the optimal decisions.

I think its just a cliffhanger

Do you mean Demon Hunter as tank with archers? Archers literally can't be tanky lol.

Pit Lord with Howling Terror or Priestess.

​@philippecote8571 you clearly haven't seen that grubby video. He spams armor upgrades for archers with demon hunter and they became very difficult to kill especially with how high their base damage is when you spam them out

​@@philippecote8571 Grubby did a meme build a few days ago with 0-3 archers + howl of terror + armor scroll and actually did make his archers actually tanky.

@@horsemumbler1 Ah I see. Key term "meme build" though :P. Any AOE spell can BBQ any supply of archers which is why I asked if DH to tank/burn.

Same here,ii just started 1 month ago,

@@santok Nice! Maybe I'll see you in the 1v1's!

@@falbernez yah,have fun brother,well I lost a lot hehe.

just play the campaign first, it's splendid and you'll learn the basics during it

Don't worry, WC3 is welcoming to new players. Don't be afraid to say you're new and ask for tips in the Lounge. Everyone has a stiff losing streak when they first start. It takes about 15-20 games for the matchmaking system to figure out your lvl and match you with opponents of equal skill, so don't think losing all those early games is anything out of the ordinary, it's just you getting put up against mutch better players untill your mmr sinks to the lvl you'll have fun playing at.

Play 4v4 RT, you will fit right in. theres newbs all over.

Dude, it's so fun. I was playing command and conquer games (Tiberian Sun and Red Alert 2 my mostly) from a very young age. I was bad. Much worse than you'll be now as an adult. But good RTS games are truly different from anything else, a really great experience. I agree with others, just start with the campaign which is very fun in itself!

Don't be afraid, you lose a bit and then the game will match you against other new players. then you can have winnable and fun games against similar players and slowly improve. I'm new as well and I Lost a lot of games but it gets better

gg ky was funny af

Coming tomorrow!

He’s drip feeding us like the business man he is:)
