This windrinder micro on the first game, the first wr that dies screamed like an echo of a dying hero. Not even sure the human heard it, but holy hell it was close while so advantagous, one of those exclusive games that are really about units and the hero is defo a "support"
As much as I want to see Grubby win its pretty fun seeing Orc get annoyed at a Hero's random proc attack since they ruined so many people with Blademaster crits for years lol
Man, even me a super casual n00b in 2003 was like: "Wyverns are so lame. Humans got the gryphons and Undead get the wyrms". Then news of of Batriders came out and I was looking forward to it only to realize they're even more specialist mutalisk/scourge and I just went back to ground ranged to counter air.
My memory says bats were super OP when they came out though. They eventually got their attack damage reduced to nothing (is it still siege? shows what I know) and now seem to be exclusively anti-air. I haven't played since probably 2012 or so, but that is my impression from watching the Grubster. Also possible is that bats were only super OP against guys like me (who weren't very good).
At 12:03 that jolt of information on your face to the noggin after the spirit wolf disappears on a 1 tap on the AM. Blinking it into existence. 28:03 Gryphon Rider destruction. * 28:46 Ensnare the Gryphon Rider instead of the Pally. One of my favorite match ups of all time is Grubby vs Moon. Moon is also one of my all time favorite players, along with Grubby of course. Would be cool to see Grubby play Happy Moon ect. Romantic also recently beat Happy, with siege engines. It was great
Here's something I'd love you to try : 2v2 with friends, control shared, but 1 player on each team destroys their base immediately. The result : 2 people controlling the same army, i.e. twice the micro. Or even one player controls the macro, the other controls the micro. One controls the casters, the other the frontline, etc. How efficient a micro can we get ?
During the Orc Tier list I made a joke about how Grubby always says he'll never make Wind Riders again but then does so anyhow. People responded to me saying he "literally said he won't do it again" I told them it's not the first time he said that, just wait....and here we are. Well played
@@ilevitatecs2 Grubby stated that _no_ units are truly useless, although D comes close to it, and B is far above D. He also referred to B as "staple units" and "average units" many times. He explicitly referred to the Rifleman as a "good unit" in his tier list and put it in high B as opposed to low A. I do not see why, after all that, you would speak as if he claimed Riflemen are a dumpster unit that cannot achieve anything.
@@alaron5698 because they’re very easily HU’s strongest unit both on t1 and t2. T2 rifle caster push fell off in select tournament play but outside of that, it’s the prevailing strat. Rifle with long barrel are S tier.
Suggestion for wind rider: make them t3 units with that orc has a tier 3 unit now and blizzard is able to buff wyvern stats since it needs to be fitting for a tier 3 unit and maybe change envenomed spears ? or buff it idk
Would that not put them in the same category as Frost Wyrms and Chimeras: hardly ever used? Though since they don't have a separate building, maybe they would be better?
I tried. ChatGPT is kinda scuffed. (Verse 1) I've been soaring through the skies, On my trusty Wind Rider's wings, With the strength of storms, I rise, The thrill of freedom, it sings. I've journeyed far from home, To lands both near and wide, Through valleys, forests, and loam, With honor as my guide. (Chorus) And I'll fly, I'll soar, Across the clouds I'll roam, In Warcraft's realm, I explore, My heart calls out, it's my home. (Verse 2) With every gust that blows, I feel the power surge, With each new height I chose, I break free from the urge. To conquer and to fight, For honor and for pride, With every battle's might, In glory, we'll abide. (Chorus) And I'll fly, I'll soar, Across the clouds I'll roam, In Warcraft's realm, I explore, My heart calls out, it's my home. (Bridge) Though dangers may await, And trials may come my way, With courage, I'll navigate, And face the challenge, come what may. (Chorus) And I'll fly, I'll soar, Across the clouds I'll roam, In Warcraft's realm, I explore, My heart calls out, it's my home. (Outro) With every beat, my spirit's stirred, As I ride the winds, wild and free, For in the skies, I find my word, A Wind Rider, forever I'll be.
Wouldn't Shadow Hunter 3rd have helped in that second game, for Serpent Wards? Alternatively, Pit Lord 3rd, for Howl of Terror -- suddenly those Gryphons don't have so much DPS any more. Or Alchemist -- Acid Bomb to counter Scroll of Protection and do a fair amount of damage on its own. Would like to see more games against pro players like this -- would be good practice too.
6:04 this is so true about the AM. I’ve been saying it for such a long time now, level 2 water elementals need to be nerfed somehow. Not water elementals overall but definitely level 2. As Grubby quite rightly said they can take on 8 pop of a tier 2 army alone! Can also cancel an Undead haunted during summoning! no race has it easier to reach lvl 3 with their first hero than Human.
What a weird series, honestly... *First game,* I can't get my head around Starbuck's choice to go... *FLYING MACHINES* ... like... wtf man... You *KNOW* Grubby can insta-switch to Bats, just as he did... Why even bother ?? Why not just continue Rifle production ?? :O Also, MK 2nd would have been better, for Bolt + kill on Wyverns. Beastmaster's quillbeasts don't get good until lvl 2 (i.e. lvl 3 hero), which you CAN'T afford to reach... *THAT way* , I honestly think Starbuck was in a good position to stand his ground for MUCH longer... ... *SECOND GAME,* G-by got EXTREMELY UNLUCKY with the MK nabbing the Greater Heal, and then FS losses and not mustering the needed amount of Bats in time... Also kind of a weak Early game by him, but again -- just UNluck !! :O ... In any event, it was (almost) excellent play by both and a really high quality treat for us viewers !! :) Me, personally, I think that G was *the better player, undisputedly* , _BUT_ , he maybe underestimated Starbuck's ability to adapt and reinvent his style over the course of the Bo3. Starbuck looked so fresh and intent in game 3, whereas G already showed signs of exhaustion... It's youth vs aged experience !! .
Question for long time wc3 players, in the first game, wouldnt it be better for grubby to get another hero faster when he did the mass wind riders and sacrifice 1 wind rider to keep no upkeep ? or was having high level far seer and more wind rider better than having two medium leveled heroes
Write a song about wind riders from warcraft 3 based on the melody of the song from moana ChatGPT (Verse 1) 🎶 Away, away, across the plains we roam, On our wind riders, we make our home. Through thunder and storm, we bravely soar, In Warcraft's land, we'll explore and more. 🎶 (Chorus) 🎶 Wind riders, oh wind riders, Slicing through the sky, With courage in our hearts, And freedom in our eyes. 🎶 (Verse 2) 🎶 High above, where the eagles fly, We'll never falter, we'll never die. For the Horde, we'll fight and defend, Until the very bitter end. 🎶 (Chorus) 🎶 Wind riders, oh wind riders, Guided by the breeze, In Warcraft's world, we'll journey far, Across the land and seas. 🎶 (Bridge) 🎶 With every gust, we'll rise and soar, Our spirits high, forevermore. For honor, glory, and victory's call, We'll rise above, we'll never fall. 🎶 (Chorus) 🎶 Wind riders, oh wind riders, Legends of the sky, In Warcraft's tale, we'll write our names, As we soar and fly. 🎶
Just had an interesting thought: wyverns are kind of like mutas in sc - fast, decent damage, and fragile; bats are like scourge; and flying machines are like protoss corsairs. But in SC those are all staple units - you always make them, and in wc3 - almost never. Why is that? Is it because of air stacking in sc? or because wyverns give too much xp?
High level players get mechanical keyboards that are directly wired in because there is no input delay or worry about signal interference They're louder like this

Grubby: I'm never gonna make a wind rider again, they are garbage!
Also Grubby: Plays mass wind riders
A man can’t keep his word because they are so good😂
soooo they are not a D at all!
He won because that Wind Rider song gave him +5 to all his attributes
TC first mass wind riders is too OP. Period ^^
@@Igorsov Wind riders can sometimes win the game with the element of surprise and good timing but most often they do spectacularly fail.
watching grubby has become an addiction, a good one🙃
Slay💅🏻
exactly :D
basically, watching grubby a very fun personality play warcraft 3 a masterpiece, no wonder it's addicting :D
Same bro, I love to watch Grubby in his home
Addiction is per definition a neuropsychological disorder.
It is NOT positive, hence the DISORDER part.
Be a man, not a boy.
Grubby: Wind riders are D tier
Also Grubby: Wind rider domination
D stands for Domination

"I'll never play with Wyverns again, promise!".
1 Day later . . . (Wins against a ProfessionalHuman... with Wyverns)
feels like I'm watching old WC3 replays with this high level of play!
13:47 I can't believe you denied that
The beginning still makes me laugh (he is indeed good). And, of course, the wyverns love-hate relationship ("it's complicated").
Grubby still got those world champ micro skills, insanely awesome ;)

It's absolutely wild to see the phrase "one of the most promising up and coming WC3 players" in 2024.
This series has been a delight to watch, thank you.
You always play very well grubby, but facing someone top tier, you are on another level. Nice to see
I think it's plain *beautiful* how the better the opponent, the better Grubby is
The strategy in the first game was just awesome. Even with the flying machines he couldn't stop it
Couldn't afford the time investment to truly amass the flying machines he needed. Good harassing from Grubby there.
32:12 painful almost 4 batriders were lost before even the battle started. And his micro with air was good in that last one.
Second game was really close, could be another story if the Farseer survived.
Wind riders are the best hit and run units in the game alongside riders and knights
I just started watching vod 2 weeks ago, now i can't stop, grubby i love you
Days since last wind rider sighting: Ooh, look - a squirrel!
Im not even playing warcraft anymore but damn this is addiction
So it made it to TH-cam. Glad to see it :D . I was there... few days ago when strength of man failed.
It would be so cool if they buffed the turn attack rate for wyvs. That would make them so much more useable and unique
Can't believe we got to witness actual death from above. Not even drones could terrorize the poor peasants like that.
Great job Grubby. Beating the top player in the world is an amazing feat!!!
ascension 20 took me a long long time, but I've done it a couple times with the Silent now. Good luck, Grub!
Why watching you is so relaxing and always makes me sleepy, I really love it, helps me calm before sleeping
Grubby's relationship with wind riders is the same I have with beer
I think it's the first time I see such a fast unit split in WC3. That stomp was so sad
During the Orc Tier list I made a joke about how Grubby always says he'll never make Wind Riders again but then does so anyhow. People responded to me saying he "literally said he won't do it again" I told them it's not the first time he said that, just wait....and here we are. Well played
Amazing séries starbuck played really really well on the last one
0:50 Daughters favorite Song. Cant wait to fool her with the Windrider1 :D
that first game was a pure joy to watch :)
finally windriders won xd
continue watching
Really well played the first match!
18:11
I too creamed from that smooth surround
Awesome advice from the Orc Master.
Grubby says that he is not pro anymore.. Then beats some top players with D tier unit. So humble :)
Pro means getting paid to compete 🤓 Ofc he's a good player, you're right in that
Grandpa Grubby still has it
need more games like this one
gosu. That harass in the beggining was clutch
also losing to t2 rifle caster push is poetic after the "human tier list" placing rifles in B or whatever it was haha
I mean, "B" is pretty good.
@@alaron5698 no, no it’s not lol

Jugaste bien chido en el primer juego. GG.
Master class on playing wyverns!
22:12 -- wtf, how MK did *NOT get stunned* by the Stomp ?! O_o

I never knew I needed a Grubby Moana soundtrack
Suggestion for wind rider: make them t3 units with that orc has a tier 3 unit now and blizzard is able to buff wyvern stats since it needs to be fitting for a tier 3 unit and maybe change envenomed spears ? or buff it idk
Was thinking the same thing. If they need to suck to not be OP at t2, then make them t3 and give them a bunch more hp
Would that not put them in the same category as Frost Wyrms and Chimeras: hardly ever used? Though since they don't have a separate building, maybe they would be better?
great strategy wind riders
This was straight fire like the Panda's breath lol
Epic battle 👀
Bat riders cans kill exploding 😮
So strange that griffons stays alive after exploding 🤯
Grubby Balboa : bullying the young generation years after years :D
Wow. And the level of play is so high!

Grubby putting wind riders in D tier than winning with them easily. S TIER
Get em Grubz
Wind riders are OP 😂
Bwahahaha "professional victim "😅😂
Who is this human
Wind riders are D tier unless Grubby plays them.
What about merc rank? Include the summons from the shops(ice dragon, etc)
thats warcraft 3 or the reforged version? I wanna start playing
Reforged with classic graphics turned on. Start playing because I recently did and I need other newer dudes on the ladder to play against.
Loved the games.
Insane grubby
what if wind rider become a troll unit (berserker and troll regen also upgrades it). but got 7 lower damage and 1 more armor?
Death from above!

really great games
Can someone explain the annoying over clicking ?
is the healer merc expensive? seems like a nice add but you rarely purchase...
go go go
This settles it - Grubby IS a wyverns player. Only win with wyverns!
Grubby are King.
cheese with wyvs and bats, lose to gryphons. heals the soul.
Wow unexpected that ending was so spot on lol. I got exactly the same views, how is this possible 🤔
Last game he didn’t really stand a chance. Maybe stop creeping and don’t got in with tc at 30% health. But second game was to greedy :) fun to watch
Please link fantasy theory post/cheat sheet when one is found/posted.
28:15 did you just warstomp a dragonhawk?
didn't Grubby put windriders and witch doctor at the bottom of his tier list? ;P
damn.... that was painful to watch. it really felt like going against God. lol
Sorry noob here. Why not third hero Alchemist with acid bomb against gryphs in the second game? Isn't the minus armor worth? +aa attack
Wow very wp Grub
Someone call for the Doctor?
I hate the low resolution TH-cam and on my phone, it defaults to 480, it's so bad
I think the video wasn’t uploaded fully yet. Same thing happened to me before.
I feel like Happy is going to lose more and more with the UD nerfs. UD was just way too strong for so long.
Grubby why does your keyboard produce a lot of bass
High level players get mechanical keyboards that are directly wired in because there is no input delay or worry about signal interference
They're louder like this
