TOP 50 Catan Gameplay - Catan Pro Climbs the Ladder 

You should do another run at #1 next season. This is great content.

the 10 5 2 as a last pick is fine if you're going to take the space on the board and point left. That way you're guaranteed to get one of the two spots. But by not point left, you just give orange the winning setup and a free uncontested triple hex spot. You can't leave the ore wheat sheep player with so much space on the board.

I know you wanted the settlement spot but it was always 9/10/11 for the second settlement. You have all the ore.. Try to go to ore port .. With best brick and port you might be able to take the Longest road too or atleast sneak it.. You had to neutralize orange by taking that.

9 10 2 second placement is absolutely insane

Dude you predicted the future at

After the mono, the play is double city + road settle. You are never getting army from orange, and this way you at least have a chance at another city/vp pull the following turn

Good decision on going to the finish line over the city or lottery ticket. 3:1 is such great resource value.

I also think blocking off the 9 ore was the best move. Coordinated 9s are very strong when they have so much ore wheat - after 4 settle its just an easy win even without army. They also pulled a road building as their first or second dev and that helped them secure settle spots and easily city them for a win. The 11s rolled a lot as well. All in all a good example of why coordinated OWS setups are so freaking tough to beat. You have to place defensively imo.

I really liked that settle first. I have seen you often forgo important settle spots for dev cards and some good trades but I don't necessarily agree with your explanations. This was one time I 100% agreed on your choice of settlement instead of city. Also, more often that not, when playing an OWS setup it is really important to secure your one road settle spots almost always.

Can anyone tell me if those who play with Membership play a different league?

Dylan be the only one to be on 5 points, compared to everyone else at 3, and think he’s not the rob.

An anecdote that happened to me. a player had a very strong position, and we solo blocked him to the point where he disconnected. And since we left the bot alone, the bot won the game

I'm confused... this is a recent game, right? I checked out your profile but it shows you as unranked season 7... But this video says you are/were rank 48? This game was played on Oct 28 this year... so I'm just a bit lost.

I think 6 3 11 is a better second pick cause Generaly defensiv picks are much worse in 4 player and 9 10 2 is worse wood brick and no sheep this pick is imo a huge blunder

How did Orange get that many roads with that setup

Don't understand why 3,10,11 and point right wasn't considered. You start off w/ the sheep and wood and you'll eventually get the 9 ore, don't need to start on it. And if you're gonna take 2,9,10 should point left to cut off the potential 4,9,11 placement by orange.

I hate when I get the city first, im the target until somebody reaches 8-9 points, no matter what.

I don’t understand why you didn’t go 9 10 11 to stop orange getting the goated setup?

Why wouldnt you use the ore from mono to double road settle and plough blue on the 6,2?
