Not this map again
@@GroguMudhorn I hate it :/
stupid fricking zombies you spose to coddle him bunch of traitors
A little bit better dice couldnt hurt you in the end ... I would add all to the corner tho so he cant double tap anything in to you but he is good so he would probably add enough to get you
OOF last second ... i see myself after the kill ... the amount of time you spend placing troops come on man we gotta do better faster :D
That 6 v 9 was a .65% chance of success. However, I did still have the 4 to manual as well so even if it only took 4 or 5 i had chances. The 4 should have been a 6 or 7 with average rolls but got pretty bad dice in Europe before that epic roll.
Yeah bullcrap 4 player 70 game 😢
At least it didn't stalemate lol.
Ahh the moment i lost the game 41:21 just needed to add everything on my 11 on the left ... Well learned that now first time i've played this map... Sorry Chad <3
@@GroguMudhorn IIRC, you had already been having a very rough day and were also sleep deprived. I think you played well given the circumstances 💚
Today the luck was on my side in game 3 (Blue) :) Glad to have played with you :)
Glad to have played with you as well! Happy to see you move on! Just 3 more games, right? Also, luck decides most every game, so just embrace and roll with it!
Finals here we come!
Spoilers in this comment.... What the hell happened to the zombies...... why did they gain so many troops???? 30:20 Like I've never seen that happen in a prog zombies game, and I didn't think the zombies were quite that weak even after MonkeyBlaster hitting that many zombies?
A pair of sets on 3 combined with blue smacking at least 60 zombies troops triggered the explosion which I called about 15 seconds earlier. It was a player making a decision when they were clueless as to how big the zombies would get.
Given that spawn I think Spain = Pain (Also I so would've taken Australia 🤣)
At this point I've watched through this game from 4 of the 5 perspectives(Vinsanity being the only one not streaming or recording). I didn't realize how bad your vision was this whole game. Given how much I was seeing you, I expected a little better vision than you actually had for some reason. I think you had the worst spawn of the 4 of us, with me and Harlow ultimately being the best off due to the bot's handling of Marcellus. My portalling into the bot's zone was a risk. I figured there was a chance I get an extra position long-term in a part of the board I never had anything in, but did see the potential of losing the stack outright. What I didn't realize was that the pathing allowed for it once the troops were placed in. Before the split I am stronger than you, and after the hit I'm equal unlike your expectation at 16:28. Up to that point I've been largely unscathed, so the loss of the extra stack is a loss to be sure, and probably shouldn't have happened, but it isn't crushing and if it had worked out I get one more position. White went for 4 big positions with the bot, and I went for as many mid-sized spots as I could reasonably keep alive without losing them(Being on 7 when Harlow's stack vanishes). Big mistake on my end not trying to go for the white kill, but I'd burned too much clock on Marcellus, so didn't go for it. In post do you really think that you had white's bottom middle stack? You didn't seem to know about it at the time(Neither did Harlow for that matter IIRC.), and between it and the right stack I don't think you had the gas. 27:17 Request Granted! 29:13 I may be blind, but I'm not that freaking blind. Man do I need to work on my time management. This is going to kill some wins for me down the line if I don't get that in check, Jeepers. Probably my biggest issue currently, although there are definitely some others that need ironing out on top of that. I definitely have a long ways to go before I'm a contender for late into the tourneys, but I'm sure it'll come in time. Thanks for the game, and I hope that your next round actually has all humans in it.
Oh, and one more thing! What music were you humming perchance during this circus if I may ask(Early on in the 1st game and at the end of the 2nd)?
@@geode_V The song I was humming is Cruel Summer by Taylor Swift. It took me some rewatching to remember lol.
Interesting set. Think your biggest mistake was not scouting in game 2. You had some ones to hit and could have looked where stacks where to help get the rest. As trying to determine if you had it was tough. Think you could have tried the 33v29 on purple. If you get good dice there you almost for sure have it. May piss purple off but would of been a good attempt
I agree. If I had tried the 33v29, I think I win.
yeah lets goo GG
Thanks for watching and commenting, Sam :)
I predict Carter The Second will conquer them all
Spoiler: Carter The Second did us proud!
Still hurts, even though I won game 3! Hope I get better dice next time 😅
Yeah. I've been in your situation so many times so I understand the pain, it felt good to be on the right side for a change!
Feels so good
@@jolly3807 It definitely did!
thanks for recording my flub, and my cat losing his stomach all over my lap XD
That’s what friends are for ;)
In a game with so much rng, I wish you would show grace, mostly to yourself <3
Bains here. Just want to publicly say no hard feelings. Emotions are running high at this stage of the tournament. Game 1 was just awful play by me. I was also not too thrilled at how my game 2 ended. Game 3 it just worked out for me. Losing that 10 was so bad, i was so mad at myself, but i dont think black had any chance of finding my other two positions even if he had succeeded on my big stack. If its any consolation i think my wife is even more upset than you were that i won. Shes so over hearing about this tournament.
@@derekmiller6631 I didn’t compliment you for your play in game 3, but it was very well played. Killing the best player in the lobby, who had perfect lines on you if they set first, is the correct play 💯. And I loved your defensive stack at the very top. That was a great move! Like I said, I was super frustrated cause of the entire series. Also, if you didn’t kill me, I definitely kill you on 4 and then sweep up the lobby, so you beating me to it kinda hurt. Big time appreciation of your post, and good luck in R10. (Although something tells me you won’t need it ;) We started the tournament together, and now my tournament ends with us again.
wow game 2 was..... bad
Yeah. I messed up, but acted on the preface that 40 troops slammed meant at least one more position was hit. And if I didn't go for it, someone surely gets a cheap kill, right? The feed was actually so bad that they didn't even get half the troops lol. Did I misplay? Yes. I didn't get the kill. All of us messed up at one point or another, but happy the player that made the fewest mistakes won the game, as they should.
@@theartof2ndplace237 your attempt seemed pretty reasonable, it looked like he got hit a lot more
XC! First of all, congratulations on making top 24, you are easily one of the best I have played against. Your play in all 3 games was strong. The first game was out of your hands. The second you went for it after getting fed yourself and it was a good attempt given your knowledge and vision. Third game in first position was very difficult. My biggest takeaway from this though is your anger/attitude. I understand how much pressure there is and the stakes but you are your biggest enemy when you start name-calling and seething with anger. If you can work on that, you will be unstoppable! It was a pleasure playing with you and I am rooting for you my friend -(^-^)’
Yeah. I get tilted way too easily. Thankfully it doesn't spill over into me slamming into players. Might just affect my concentration a little. I don't think level headed me could have changed the outcomes of any of those games though, but definitely being less toxic (like I used to be when I only lost all the time) would leave a significantly better example for future players. Like my passion for winning seeps into my commentary which becomes heated and toxic. I need to do better in that regard. Rewatching the video in light of the first comment on this video, made me ashamed. I want to encourage positivity, but I'm only positive on wins. I think a wiser strategy would be to just mute audio on recordings, and then overlay a commentary audio that wasn't made in the heat of the moment. I am also way more chill when I am live. Because people are watching, live. It's another reason why I wish we were allowed to live stream, so chat can distract me from my raging tendencies a bit. My most toxic games are on recorded games that weren't allowed to be live streamed. For some reason, I'm just way more in my comfort zone live, and can always chill more. Chat gives me joy.
@@theartof2ndplace237 very well said! Great self reflection, its only up from here. With each tournament game you're one step closer. I feel you on the live recordings too, that makes sense! Keep up the hard work and I will catch you on the flip -(^-^)'
Yeah, unfortunate games. We can play game of your favourite zombies if you want.
Imagine being you at 6:14 and not thinking it was over 😂. Now be you after this game. Big difference! Remember, there's always hope.
@@jacovisscher Nise, extremely good player, and Carter8786 (extremely good player) saw all of me. I thought surely I miss a set and one of them eats me. Apparently everyone got rocked by the zombies, though, as they only got +2 on turn 3! And that portal into the kill guard was life saving as I’m sure Nise was going for me, but the kill guard was too large. Glad 6:14 was wrong!!!
Spoilers! Fantastic job my guy! That's why they call it risk! That 60 seconds flies by and you managed to make every attack count. Some were incredibly close but it wasn't enough to stop you. Final 24! Huge congrats -(^-^)'
Thank you Ellis! Good luck to you as well!!! Top 24 feels amazing, and I was 100% due to be lucky! :)
This game speaks for itself
100%
Ugh im sorry dude. Just a brutal way to have to go out of the game.
Yeah. Thankfully I advanced, but this just sucked.
Damn, this was sad to see. I totally understand your frustration and it sucks that it happened to you in such a painful way, while the game was already going for like 30 minutes. I myself hate that rule, since it just restricts your actions for no reason, it's very silly. I'm glad you're through though after this, that's great news. I unfortunately wasn't so lucky to go through, even with good Round 6, so yea lol I don't know if you cried there at the end or not, but try to control your emotions a bit more if you can and then let it all out when you're not recording anymore, that way people won't at least see you as a bad guy in this situation. But yea, this settings sucked ass, purely because of the restriction rule!
Thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I was very upset the rest of the daying. Putting your tournament life in jeopardy over a modifier that was pointless after 2nd trades is quite a painful thing. Thankfully I qualified so this doesn't have as much sting, but I still hate getting punished for making the wise move (if no modifier existed) in gaining information to avoid making a silly play later on.
How in the hell black had so many positions?
They are very good at zombies. They know how to maintain like 6-7 lol.
WP Chad!! 🎉 hope my game goes this well. Great turn of event with feeds and no sets on 4 lol. Great job nonetheless. P.s. I'm never giving 2nd there when I'm on 50 troops and they potentially have a trade on 3, even if they did fist bump!
True! If I wasn't so focused on getting as many bounties as possible, and in a frenzy after the feed, I would have used my double trade to kill purple instead, then given second to black on 2 cards. And yeah, trying to give a player 2nd was a mistake lol. Just take the bounty and clean up the zombies!
Risking 7 points just to give someone 2nd. Truly, a suicidal kindness. GG
Yeah. I have a problem with that lol. Trying to get meaner!
Gg great reading through the fog! WP
Thanks!
Chad 😂 I was cracking up at your anguish at having to take a kill and refusing to take a card because you don’t deserve it after failing a 70 run 😅 got there in the end though, congrats!
@@itshotbunz Thanks Bunz. Although I won, it didn’t feel right 😅
Gg wp
@@sofarunner Thanks!
You sound so calm in this video😅
@@alehanedilko2147 It wasn’t a tournament game, so I was chilling 😅
@@theartof2ndplace237 We both know that is just because I wasn't in this game. 😆Also how does Talic get screwed so hard by zombies? I thought he likes zombies🤔
By the looks of title this is gonna be an entertaining but unfortunate game… we’ll see tho
Yeah, I wish my recording didn't cut off, because it cut out the final 10 minutes where I fully blew up lmao.
man, that's rough. You should still have enough points to go to r5 though, right?
Yeah. I may have enough for R6 (which are actually really solid settings) just by surviving. I'm definitely staying top 80 for sure, after this round. But I cannot die in my next game.
Excellent tips and advice !
Thanks Maren! The goal is to help reduce the amount of feeds and destruction to the zombies, if possible 😅
Gg. When i watched it from your pov, I immediately saw how easily you could have lined me up. I had fun. This was an awesome group.
First noob! 🎉
@@SafSamed 🏆
Did you consider the double kill of white and green on 22:05? Because I'm pretty sure it was there with a trade
Never was thinking of a double kill, but maybe should have. Idk, I didn't think about that lol.
@17:10 And this is the moment I stopped lining you up. When Maren moved to the small islands.
That was chaotic. Props for pulling it off on your phone.
@@whythecows Thanks :) Got a lot of help from poor decisions by other players as well, but I went for the winning moves each time. I really was upset that I had to kill purple before the bot. I hate giving a bot a better placement than a real player, but sometimes you have to do it :/
Yeah, that's a stacked lobby. GG
GG!
Wrong title, PP tournament week 4 ❤🎉
@@SafSamed I prefer to keep things G rated 😅 (Ignore my tournament games where really bad things are happening to me 🤣)
Wow! This was an unusually stacked group for round 1. Well played to get 12 points!

GG! Shame you couldn't have pick up another spot, but there's not much that could've gone differently in your favor there. Off to round 2 with ya!
Yup! Off to round 2!

GG. 4th and 2 bounties is a good start with 12 points and you probably couldn't play for 1st place anyways, not to mention a very stacked group, so congratz and I wish you best of luck in the next rounds 😎
