Ben is legit insanely talented. Thanks for the entertaining casting, Steel & Ziz! Reminds me of a classic sports casting duo with Steel doing play-by-play and Ziz chiming in for analysis.
ben has years of EXP playing world first progress. don't forget he was one of the best wow players we have ever seen. Prolly the best Tank. But that question is hard to answer. So glad we can enjoy him in PoE.
talented yes.. he deserves it. but winning all the time is a sad reality of these events becoming more boring each time.. atleast GGG events guarantees you micro transaction prizes.. i have gotten nothing from these last 3 gautlets with my level 80+ characters
@@bannedforjoking8342 have you tried getting good enough to at least attempt bosses? 80+ character in gauntlet is impressive but you shouldnt be complaining about not winning anything if thats your max...
Ben is literally Wilt Chamberlin scoring 100 points. In the grand scheme of gaming, PoE is still young - and I hope the game has life for all my years. I’ve been playing 10 years and still couldn’t even scratch the level of these guys in the top tier. I hope that when others that want to be competitive watch him - they are motivated at the possibility rather than defeated by the gap. The way he stays calm and collected with zero life flasks is beautiful. He knows every single possible outcome and plays the game at the peak of its limits - leaving us at the edges of our seats for every single fight. The first 3 competitive players that I loved watching were Waggle, Goratha, and imexile. They are always my home - but Ben has been so incredible to watch over the years. All 4 of them: humble and hard working. I Fucking love this game 😂
Spectacular!!! Thanks Ziz for the exciting Gauntlet and thanks you guys for casting! Ben is just built different, and it was great to watch him carefully preparing for the fights throughout the event
Ben is an absolute god gamer Props to you and Ziz for making this gauntlet so entertaining and interesting. Steel absolute god caster, this gauntlet was a banger
This was by far my favorite gauntlet so far! Steel and Ziz were an amazing cast duo, combining serious gauntlet and entertainment. The oasis in (white) maps was a great change! So much incredible gear! And lastly we saw so many cool builds! Vd Seething, Bama Bombarding, Icenova of Balls, Bone zoners, Chieftain Bombers - so good!
This event should be on every league, wahtched it at the edge of my seat. Imagine an racing event 1 week before each new league start and one gountlet. GG times.
I was talking to my friend, and besides the sheer ability it takes to clutch out these fights under deadly circumstances, the thing that is most impressive to me is the incredible amount of knowledge that he has. To even be able to know what type of defenses to specialize in for each of these fights and progressing the endgame, to know the limits and weaknesses of your character so well, knowing the damage types of every single ability he's up against... absolute god gamer. His knowledge alone ends up literally shaping the Gauntlet meta and helping so many other players progress further than they even thought possible. And then somehow on top of it all, he drops a Defiance of Destiny... what a blast to watch it all unfold.
@@KingJerbear you make it sound like these people have not killed those bosses 1000s of times over and over again. Every serious racer knows exactly what every boss does and what strengths and weakness their builds have. You are talking about basic game knowledge not rocket science.
Knowledge between base game and gauntlet isnt the same. The reason exile isn't on Bens level has nothing to do with mechanical ability or farming efficiency, more to do with him lacking the awareness Ben has @@finneas9894
For some reason ben is just in constant full focus mode. I was able to be like that when i was younger but now i cant focus for so long and be fully aware.
people keep saying "ben gets those items before anyone, ggg is helping him" should really see fights like the feared. I couldn't even see the cortex pull.
The gauntlet mod "monsters take 80% reduced damage" effectively raises the cap by 80% since the "cap" is simply an integer overflow that you are no longer hitting -toad
Make it so the community select the class and ascendency that Ben can use. that way he got the knowledge but he must face the reality of having an handicap :)
Next gauntlet do Ruthless with buffed loot drops, having one movement skill on cooldown and limited crafting changes things. Zizarans hate for Ruthless is what hold gauntlet back, ben wouldn't be on top if he was limited in crafting and movement skills.
@@iFoss Do you even race competitively? The abuse of leap slam and the knowledge of crafting is what separates good players from the best players. Also watch the boss fights, spamming movement skills and pots is the only thing keeping ben alive. Ruthless mode addresses every abuse and levels the playing field. All ziz needs to do is buff the mods a bit and make drops more like regular, we wouldn't need 4 added projectiles in ruthless. I would have thought people would realize this on their own by now.
@@Rektify-m6m "Do you even race" The fuck does this have to do with anything? Who tf are you? Ofc that's what keeping him alive, it's there for him to use. Why do you think anyone else would be better than him without that? What evidence of that do you have?
@@Rektify-m6m And if that's all there is to it, the only reason Ben wins is because of "abuse" (which is such a dumb fucking take), then why can't anyone else do it? Crafting is a vital part of the game. Ms skills are a vital part of the game. Why the fuck can't the, according to you, equal players learn how to do it as good as him if they could beat him without these things?
To be honest, Gauntlet should have addition restriction of only certain skills can be used. Meta skill is way too easy since most of the stats you need are defensive layer as meta skill always and already have the damage itself.
Please have zizaran make it so uber bosses take 50% reduced poison damage then for the next race. This way, the poison damage cant be used to mitigate the less damage taken mod.
@@zandersnc as explained by ziz and steel, if your poison damage gets so high it actually can mitigate the less dmg taken mod because you'd get to dot cap anyways, but IMO it still matters a LOT because you probably can't ramp to dot cap as easily in gauntlet especially because of said less dmg taken mod, that a lot of times (especially during that feared fight due to ben's boots) you are going to be playing like it isn't dot capped. However there are cases where you can like in exarch fight there ( then again, it might not even be dot capped and more towards poison vd with that boots deals so much dmg to stationary targets anyways lol)
Betas doing beta things, this is their life lol, the comments just tell the story of how lost these ppl are. One snippet "In the grand scheme of gaming, PoE is still young - and I hope the game has life for all my years." Lmao its 11 years old "still young" then hope its around till you die? hahahahahhahahahahh. So lost.
not taking away anything from ben.. but once again something that should be extremely difficult is made more trivial because of broken mechanic and WAY too much damage (think of the ruthless SSF HC uber race)

Ben winning the Gauntlet is so normal that IRS is taxing the prize as income
Well yea he’s a professional so no doubt he has to.
@@killed_bya_bot7775whats the point of ur comment?
This cast created such a beautiful atmosphere around gauntlet. It really felt like an event , thanks ziz and steel
Spectacular!!! Thanks Ziz for the exciting Gauntlet and thanks you guys for casting!
Ben is just built different, and it was great to watch him carefully preparing for the fights throughout the event
what the fuck did i just fucking watch how is he so good
Absolutely insane ending to the gauntlet!! Amazing job putting it together and casting it!
Great job casting! You two meshed well and it couldn’t have been done better, thank you!
Holy Dude that was insanely impressive ben is on a whole different level to everyone else
It cant be said often enough how insanely skilled this guy is at every ascept of the game. Nice casting by Steel too btw.
steelmage you are a great commentator! i hope to see more like this
Ben is an absolute god gamer
Props to you and Ziz for making this gauntlet so entertaining and interesting. Steel absolute god caster, this gauntlet was a banger
I’d rather see them play
That was insane - I never really watch hc or any gauntlet but this was so impressive and entertaining to watch. GG Ben and GG Steel & Ziz.
This was by far my favorite gauntlet so far!

6 months is a better downtime for people to recharge on excitement and not burn out
Next Gauntlet, GGG creates a new a boss that is contolled by Ben and you can only win by beating Boss Ben.
Deathloop but POEloop
Love the music that was added on editing
Ben reached level about 3-5 years ahead in most games he played and focused on. Here he just performs so well that's just sick 🙃
yo what up guys grimm here

Many of the other racers share the same game knowledge as him. What separates him from the rest is pure mechanical ability and farming efficiency.
@@finneas9894 I disagree 1000%, if you ask the other racers, they get their info from Ben on lots of the game mechanics

Insane
That was hell of a lot better than the Super Bowl. 😮🤩
imagine being so good, that you get so much respect from two hardcore PoE ballers like Steelmage and Ziz.
For some reason ben is just in constant full focus mode. I was able to be like that when i was younger but now i cant focus for so long and be fully aware.
Great job Steel... you both are excellent commentators
crowd proclamed god gamer
Jesus this Ben person is a machine!
Gauntlets is officially Ben's trust fund.
I already congratulated Ben to win gauntlet when it was announced, so i dont have to do it again.
Conjugation of 'cast' forms doesn't change the word
Great job guys, both of you. I would like to see someone from GGG react to this god gamer and comment on those kind of events and winners.
Its not BEN - ITS SUPERBEN!

What build was he using? Was he using doom?
bad fucking ass, best gauntlet yet!
Wait, why did he bypass the dot cap???

@@Steelmage Thank you for the explanation!
I had so much fun. This was my first gauntlet and I honestly can't wait to take on the next one!
He is as good at this as anyone at anything ever
this was fun!
Holy crap I was just about to find this video if its existed and it appeared less than a minute ago lol, thanks guys!
What a fucking god gamer ben is
Cant wait for a gauntlet where EVERY unique item is banned. That would be so hard.
21:55 he's the one.
Ben is a living god
Gauntlet was very difficult.
Ben said 😂😂🤣🤣
Steelmage looks like Booger from The Nerds.
hes just absurdly good
Absolutely ridiculous
how about for next gaunlet you ask ggg to finaly make an anti lag client ???? xDD
God Gamer.
Ben is actually not human wtf...
chapters please
I need one them MF Jackets
Would it be possible to reupload this in better quality ? It's quite grainy if you watch this in 1080 fullscreen.
Idea for the next Gauntlet mod: every 4 seconds monsters take no damage for 1 second
Ben is like Faker of league.
Ben is a god

Why are you guys not playing yourselves? Did I miss something in the announcement?

Actual god i didnt even get to act 2 :)
is there a old man filter on this video ?
thats why i dont touch hardcore, this game is so laggy i wont event count how many times i died on sf beacuse of lag
