SUPREME COMMANDER EPIC #62 - Average Joes - Custom 5v5 on Pyramid 

I want to sincerely thank everyone for your positive comments regarding my gameplay this go 'round. This was, I think, my second or third game, ever, versus live opponents. That said, I have quite literally over two decades of unfortunate habits learned from skirmishing against the AI, all the way back to the original Total Annihilation, through all the iterations of SupCom (and yes, the less said about SC2, the better). I've been following BRNK's Twitch channel (in part because of his highly enjoyable dedication to SupCom) for over a year and finally acquired a CPU up to the task of joining in the FAF insanity. The Discord chat on this match was indeed... lively :D ... but I received a lot of quality coaching from my teammates throughout the match, and that contributed greatly to my ability to make BRNK and Triaxx work hard for their well-earned victory. I hope to provide similar or greater entertainment going forward.

"Game quality is at 76%, that is pretty appalling balance, it's about as balanced as Germany VS Poland circa 1939" As a Pole, I found that hilarious. Keep up the good work Gyle.

"Why does he keep making Czars if they're just going to get eaten by the ASF swarm???" A short time later... "...Oh."

Damnit Gyle. THANK YOU for the years of entertainment and wonderful attitude!

Couple notes about this game - The balance is so low because we had...3? maybe 4 low game count low rank people. The number was super wrong xD. Second note, poor choices were made. Admitting that up front. It was a hell of a fun game though, we were all slowly dying laughing in chat.

The parade of Mech Marines at 1:14:46 had me in tears from laughing.

That was hands down the best match I've seen here. Mad props to MadSentinel for his sheer determination and perseverance! He might not have won the match, but he's a gorram champion in my book!

i prefer the zooming in of gyle, over the constant scrolling of brink. on that note, gj gyle.

You actually did it.... we were laughing about you casting the game during the stream... and you actually did it xD Thank god you did... cause that was one game of a lifetime to watch and play.

44:48 Easily one of the funniest things I've seen in awhile. Looked like the transport was just going full reverse into the GC.

Brnk & Gyle, best anime crossover of all time.

[SPOILER] Sentinel played like a 1k person. Kudos to them not rage quitting.

I have never felt more repulsed by a thumbnail in my life

"A gnat's pube away from death"

Gyle, I have been watching a lot of your casts as of recent on youtube. This was by far the most comical cast you have done man.

"He's not going to push it in and give a great, big mass gift" -Gyle 2020.

Great fun to watch. And I concur with Gyle in the end - the last man fighting to his last breath was a legend. Sparta!!!

I watched this on Brnk's stream, but this match is unreal! Nice cast!

Absolutely love those community matches! Thank you so much for providing the commentary and stream!

The clickbait saga continues. I, for one, am excited to see how this story progresses.

Brink must be suffering from severe back pain from the carrying he had to do the whole game. Tirax went missing for at least 30 minutes as far as map presence and then went full communist army at the end. Excellent double snipes from glob and brink really.

for you ant problem: get some mint, lavender etc. pottet plants are enough usually. there are several plants you can use to keep ants away.

Ofc I get casted on the time frame of one of my stupid renamed xD FloodedLava xD

Suddenly all the Epics we saw so far just don't seems o Epic anymore. You're going to need a new word to describe games like this. What a match!

Another great cast Gyle, thanks for all you do. As for the zooming in and out, Don't change a thing! Keep doing what you are doing! Moar!

For what it's worth I like the zoom-ins and I think you strike a great balance between technical/strategy and theme/awesomeness descriptions and focus.

MadSentinel: I love you

I was at a store looking at old dvds when I saw the notification for this video. The thumbnail made laugh out loud

I love by how the end it had gone back to the beginning, virtually no base and T1 galore! ridiculous match

Gyle for all thats loved and holy please do not include emoticons in your thumbnails. Your videos are known for class and being of very good quality. Emotes do not belong anywhere near those words.

Also to comment on my faction choice (FloodedLava). I tend to pick cybran due to the Advantage ASF have the stealth along with the brutal stealth strats as you can see in this game when I was starting brnk it looked random but what I was trying to do is use the cybran AoE of the bom to ground fire between 2 mex to try and get 2 mex at a time instead if 1 .

It's always a good day for more SupCom, and Gyle!

This was such a fun match to watch. This has always been my favorite RTS game. So glad people are keeping the game alive.

completely right about the skill level going up in the last year or two. I was a 1200-1300 player for ages. Now I am staying steady in the 900's. You come up against a 1200 now and the skill level is significantly higher, let alone a 2000 player who will just own all on the battlefield.

I can't believe you managed to make a 'budget day' joke! Bravo

Oh that was amazing. The shot that took out Glyph were almost like the FA intro.

I thought I couldn't enjoy your videos any more and then you referenced my favourite scene from Father Ted...

@Gyle - There is a mod called Reclaim View for FAF that shows you the total mass value on your screen. In addition you can use it to see the mass value of an alive unit as well.

This whas one of THE best epics I have seen!

I watched the second half of this live. It was such a unique game. And I learned an important lesson that day: If you have a problem that is not solved by throwing donuts at it, throw even more donuts at it until it is solved! Truly a game for the history books.

I don't mind the zooming in, in fact I quite enjoy it for the bigger battles. Your doing a great job Gyle!

16:33 OH NO are you coming for my firstborn daugther, CLINKHAMMER?

"2 GC's coming in the bottom, didn't sound right. literally bending over" xD

This is such a sad game because you can see that if the losing team built one or two less arty, and instead built quantum gateway w/ assist + ras supcom spam + scattered sam defense, it was clearly their game to win! I don't blame the 200 for not doing it, but the other guy should have for sure.

wow... just wow. the most insane and intense game I've ever seen. there was almost everything what everyone always wanted to see

Gyle I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm certain that emojis in the thumbnail won't help the growth of the channel. I thought the last thumbnail uploaded on March 3rd looked good.

awesome cast Gyle. I caught the original stream and it was great to see this game cast with all the alternative cinematic camera angles, highlighting the huge variety of engagements and showcasing the units. The game is so much prettier than a bunch of icons viewed from space and you make it feel more like live war reporting from the future +++++++ so many people :O getting whooshed by the ironic :D use of emoji :P

Hooray, glad you still do this series!

OMG... That's... ehhm... me XD Well thats awesome! Keep it up! (And extra credits for not butchering my name XD)

the 'scrying tool' you are looking for is the ability of dead sera airscouts to still have vision for a little while ^^

Amazing game! Well played to all, hats of the Brink though!

This game was awesome! Thank you for making these!

Awesome game! Way to go Brnk - and fantastically entertaining cast Gyle! : D

T1 spam is always useful for keeping enemy MEX expansions and reclaims down. They just had to add in some T3 arty/aa in to really give value to those T1 standoffs.

Never apologise! Your cast is always great.

Cheers Gyle! You're the only channel I disable my adblock on.

this is definitely one of the more intense joe matches

Gyle great cast. Hope to see more coming. How come there are so few with you in them? Hope to see some more pro vs joe games. those games with blackheart and such were so much fun to watch. Have a good one.

This is the greatest crossover event in history. Maybe ever.

That was an awesome game, 5 x Zeus attack was hilarious 🤣🤣

im watching probably fifth year and man that game is cool to look at, keep it up Gyle

One thing you do pick up on at like 26:00 is that people are getting better at the game. Like the requirements to be a mid or high range player are much steeper.

darn was hopping to see this from his prospective two.

Just adding my two cents, I like the occasional zooms.

Great cast as always my friend!

I watched this live, but still fun to watch it again with Gyle commentary. Pretty recent game too. No backlog of games I presume?

Is there ever a possibility we could see King of the Hill tournaments for SupCom like TotalBiscuit did for StarCraft? Would love to see that.

That was truly epic!

i am so glad to find your channel.

Great casting Gyle

Gyle you could try the free cam hotkey (hotkey is in the keyboard options somewhere) - it allows to tilt the camera without zooming in so much

Really liked that parallel to ants.

Huh, didn't know FAF had added t3 mobile AA. Might play a couple games sometime. And I like what I see of the changed Scathis, looks like a big range buff and an interesting firing cycle.

That massive mass of mass on the massif!

like it that it didn't turn into a trench warfare.

I just love watching these. you do great stuff

OMG, you got my name correct!

If anything I wish you'd zoom in on those big battles more.

Epic, thank you. :-)

Played this game once last year, however I've been watching Gyle's casts for the last year and a half now. Support ACUs are overpowered and need readjustment.

Oh god! Another Gyle Cast, my work day just got very unproductive!! :))

4:13 greetings form Poland, Mr Gyle

When Gyle uses an Emoji in his thumbnail, you know it's going to be a beyond epic match.

The catchy Thumbnails are working gyle!

Personally i quiet like the zoom ins. you can see the whole map on the minimap ^^

Triaxx and Sentinal are the MVP's in my book ^_^ and Brink and FloodedLava are good runner ups :P

The 'Father Ted' reference compels me to like this video.

You've heard of the Rods of God, now get ready for the Donuts of God.

The zoom is fine for iPhone. Everything else is fine. Keep up the good work

Wtf is that thumbnail? I first didn’t look at the video because I thought it was another of „those“ videos. I almost missed another Gyle cast because of this!

38:03 wow! what a play!

I use to play this so much as a kid I wish I still had, all I have is SC2 I don't mind it but it's way to easy even the hardest difficult AI enemy are to easy to beat.

We need a few live casts

11:45 that blaze accuracy :D

Thank was such a good game! A true epic! :)

Prepare for one of EPIC match! 😁😁😁

I am suprised this game hasn't been on the e-sports radar, it is great for streaming, preferably with Gyle as a commentator.

Thank you for doing this its very entertaning and please continue

wow what a G move promoting other casters

I watched the whole thing and the one thing I remember most is "knees on you nipples" lol. Never heard that before.
