You did really well! I think SteppeKnight is playing some kind of 4D chess here, greatly utilizing the map, and your division's weaknesses. Still, I'd say it was a good college try and you can be proud of yourself:)
there was a moment when you were floating 435 pts and he was whittling down your units in key locations by with numbers. Once you lost that territory it was impossible for you to get back in.
Leave it to SteppeKnight to have a flag disadvantage until C phase with a maverick income and still get that win out. Impressive. I really enjoy the deck building process done by you because I've never played tournament mode only QP and ranked, so I would be totally clueless in a tourney setting (even though I plan to join one next time). Other than that these tournament let's plays feel so relatable to me: You give your best but most of the time only get a loss out of it. And it pisses one off.
They make this look easy. Just played my first time today and got rushed the first time, had no response. The next guy was nice enough not to rush, but still crushed me with ease 😂 what a great game.
This was incredible. Steppe was completely passive until C phase really. Building up big push. What can you do. As you said, Panthers on the hills overlooking everything.
You need to put pressure whenever you are strong somewhere, I am probably worse than you but this is still good advice, you played the game on Steppes terms, force him to react to your attacks too, even if you are playing for the long game. Also I saw you target the AA and buy the AT plane, you needed to sync it so that you start firing with the arty and attack with the plane at the same time
Your deck building was awful. The AT rifle armored car gets eaten by 20mm. Nothing to kill a panther until B phase. No recon plane, no bombers, only one card of AT plane. Stop taking fighters, you never get value out of them. Also, you can't play harteneck if you don't systematically disable the rifles in your reit jagers.
He seemed way too worried about the wrong things. All those medium tank counters against a deck using 40 point Italian Stugs and Heavies. B and C(!) phase cards of real Stugs, along with the Hetzers is just confusing. Dismissing 4ths Arty Tab, Taking a Div that has a questionable AA tab. Not taking full advantage of the T-34s and Panzer III-Ns in A. Just felt like he doesn't 4th at all.
i mean man, he is balanced against mav and he has the guts to buy 3 morse. It is so mental, if he just bought units on the ground he might have eaven won considering how passive stepknight was, instead he decided to buy heavvy arty and make his frontline weak and easly pushable.
right at the end you pushed your recon on the left and then swiched playing on the right. When switched back to the left it had died so we never got to see the unit on the left. Won because Steppen built his defence in phase A and then pushed mid phase B while you pushed the whole game. With retrospect you may have won while holding 14-10 and solidifying your position. Note the range of the recon on the right on the hill - saw the NAG4500 over 2000m (guess) away - 1 rank is good enough for recon.
Besides the hetzer decision i liked the game-thought from your perspective. And…if u are faster in micro i think u are more than rdy to take on this lev of pros.
I'm primarily a 10v10 player and I know there's a big difference between that and 1v1.. the one thing that I almost always see in 10v10 is smoke and almost never see it in 1v1. All those units on the hill could have been rendered useless with some smoke, while cqc units close the gap. Again, I'm not at the level as you guys but in a team match that's probably how it would go down. Sometimes smoke is more useful than HE.
Smoke is clunky in SD2. Too unpredictable and inaccurate. Doesnt make a smoke screen, but rather smoke patches where you can still get shot while crossing through them. Also, too few ammo. Its a hassle compared to WGRD where mortars are supper accurate, corrected shot is based on LoS and mortars have 60-140 ammo... That doesnt mean its useless, but you gotta spam it. Its one of those things where usually the juice isnt worth the squeeze (micro required isnt worth the results). But it definitely would have helped in this situation. Those 2km units completely cut off the forest for a very long time.
What ever you have done to p*ss off the RNG gods, you seem to rarely be on their good side. I would have been crushed in five minutes (or less), so I'm not going to pretend I know what you should have done. Still think you did well, I mean, with the luck against you, yeah, you did well.
Fucking 4th Falls. Bringing it back was the biggest mistake of the patch. Also that arty tab is anything but weak. 120mm with Radio that just got an availability buff backed by 2 cards of the most accurate Arty piece in the game.
No, the k18 is not the most accurate arty in game, at best is a equivalent or slightly worse long tom. having PTSD about a div doesn't make its units better than what they really are
It is nto even close to being back. pay attention at its infantry.. it is nto even on top level right now. And on current tank meta it lacks the lights and mediusm to keep control. IT is far weaker than it was 1 year ago
@ The Italian Stugs uptrade on Mediums just fine. Paracadutisti, FS-ZF, and 120mm Radio Mortars all got important buffs. FS divs in general are the only real winners of the 120mm Availability buff. Already seeing it 1 in 5 games in QP and its only gonna rise in popularity from there.
Honestly speaking you are playing against better players and there is no reason to handicap yourself with balanced. Play a defensive maverick and try to play it out the long game with the trades
@vseznamus8862 When we will see you in a tourney ? It sounds like a lack of initiative from you Armchair General. What’s the point to be so harsh ? After some are wondering why there aren’t lot of content creators anymore.
That was Waaaay better than the first game!
You did really well!

No he sucked you suck too
He was trolling attack power for the views he let it go long dummy
@atomicone2431 wow you're almost as accurate as your punctuation...:P

I do like deck building process you have included
😍😍😍

gg wp, that was a clutch game.

I honestly expected every moment that 20 planes appear or something. Ha!

The AT rifle armored car gets eaten by 20mm.

No recon plane, no bombers, only one card of AT plane. Stop taking fighters, you never get value out of them.

Those armoured cars are awful aren't they!? Waste of a card. Might as well take the motorcycle since it at least has a radio 😂

@@ciroperrone3609 he needed the counter arty- those 175's and 120mm mortars were eating him up
@ no, he just needed more stuff on the ground, ,buing that arty lost hi the game
Harteneck has been my favorite Div since Beta testing!
floating 450pts at the end of B phase when playing balanced against a maverick player makes it hard to win.
Bad luck- you played well- just those bloody panthers slowed you down just enough- thanks for the live cast it is greatly appreciated
39:00 Maybe scouting instead of sending out CC blind in the open? 🤔😥😫
Well played! I want to know what unit was jammed into that group of buildings on the left. Thank you for the video!
Para'd Assalto won me this game. Otherwise, I had pretty good chance to lose
👌
That ending was so intense
right at the end you pushed your recon on the left and then swiched playing on the right. When switched back to the left it had died so we never got to see the unit on the left.

You got outplayed and outpositioned, but it was a good game and a great effort from you. Keep it up!
You skipped your second game against Green?
Besides the hetzer decision i liked the game-thought from your perspective. And…if u are faster in micro i think u are more than rdy to take on this lev of pros.
okay the left hand flag turned 29-30min but did not disclose Steppens holding unit and was quickly flipped back to Steppen.
18:30 - use smoke granades on leader

Yeah, 4. FsJ isn't quite as cancerous as it used to be but it's still disgusting and a lot better than many people give it credit for IMO.

If he's floating this many points with balanced imagine with maverick
Good old attackpower, lack of initiative just reacting to whats happening, no agression no gameplan floating in points and sadly loosing
Good old atkpwrs commentors, spoiling the ending before I've watched it as usual
@@LiquidMD entering the comments section before watching - bad decision
@vseznamus8862 When we will see you in a tourney ?
It sounds like a lack of initiative from you Armchair General.
What’s the point to be so harsh ? After some are wondering why there aren’t lot of content creators anymore.
Everybody is an expert aren't they? Why can't people just shut up and enjoy the show?
