The question is then, why didn't he leave? Is it because he's a good sportsman? His 56k dial-up modem? Lack of thought, or is he seeing everything, past, present and future, of the entire universe all at the same time, with all the worlds, fantasies, lives and deaths beautifully interconnected between us, so no matter what happens, no matter the ups and downs in our lives, it will all be okay in the end? We may never know.
I actually liked how Grim used the dial up modem connection sound to compare to Derek's capacity to read the room instead of lagging. Lagging hasn't really been an issue for at least a decade now so it's basically irrelevant except to us very old school vanilla players. ;) Was a neat choice.
3:18 Internal Monologue: "You've got this, Derrick. Just don't stand in the fire, Derrick. Just don't stand in the fire around you AND take the flag to the base. Two whole things, oh man this is too much to remember!!"
My entire group PvP experience can be summed up to: - Login to Horde character - lose, lose, lose. - Switch to Alliance character - lose, lose, lose...
Makes you wonder if you're the problem but you'll have top damage or top healing. Most objectives tagged. The only person that stays behind to defend objectives until they cap everyone else just leaves and it gets taken back. In that one BG the only person that grabs orbs. 🤷
Haha. Man. I was just talking about this the other day. ROFL. I lost 5 in a row on horde jumped on alliance and lost 3 in a row. I just logged off. lol.
@@Theigzorn areana is the only pvp ive done! bg and rbgs are a waste of time and energy! people refuse to play together! its not just wow! all pvp makes for some toxic behaviour!
2:29 The person who actually wants to win, Respect. Also, always fun to hear the original PvP Battleground Theme again. One of the best songs in WoW; but hardly ever used.
And by the time goes, we continue understanding Derek. He choosed probably to be happy and play the game, besides Blizzard doing shit working by creating monster classes, he'll be the trashier human that don't have ANYTHING good, but will try to carry the flag and enjoy the game. Such a example of a player. I hope I can be a better Derek than Derek does.
I love the idea of Derek still being Derek, no matter what aspect of World of Warcraft he is playing. And despite being underequipped, unable to read the situation, and doesn't do anything right at first, he somehow stays in the game, does tasks, and still gets invited to PvP/PvE raids and playing through expansions with the rest of the WoW community who still seem him as an asset, all while he and everyone else enjoys the game.
Carrying in all the grocery bags in one trip has trained his mind and body. He knows true strength is making his mom proud of what a big strong boy she's raised.
Among many references and jokes, the premade guy overkilling that horde player with a sneeze got me laughing the most. :D The overpowering feeling when you are with a decent group, on voice comms, and working together for the same goal... random BGs feek just like that. And then you wake up and realize that it's 2024 and this video is 100% accurate. :D And you are Derek.
My lord... the accuracy.... It's uncanny. Every. single. second of it. I want to laugh but my jaw is still on the ground. You ability to capture these moments is off the charts.
The heroic face-off between the fury warrior and death knight in order to protect Derek was one of the most epic things I have witnessed, and what followed has to be one of the most funniest minutes I have ever seen, literally laughing my ass off, well done Captain Grim.
Oh yeah, that's exsctly how it went inside of my head back in 2008, I just picked up wow for the very 1st time when 3.2. Ulduar was announced. I was warrior back then, got obliterated by this DK wearing "best pvp set in season" which was relentless. My friend and I were drooling over it while getting slaughtered in OG Thousand Needles. Today, after many years, I am that DK, gripping and coiling nabs. ^^. Never went back, only Dk since wotlk onwards. And that death coil charge animation...perfekt.
You've really been improving with your effects work, well done! I wish the pvp gods joined my games when the rest abondoned WSG, alas 'tis but a fantasy.
This is too damn accurate. There was always a Derek in terrible gear that would repeatedly grab the flag. His efforts only ended up unintentionally helping the enemy but damn if he didn't relentlessly pursue that elusive flag cap and never become demotivated.
OMG IT'S DEREK! LET'S GO DEREK! Also, I love how Derek was unironically the best player in the entire match, not only was he the only one who took the objective remotely seriously, but he also managed to unite the entire divided alliance team to help his cause.
I always love how damn spot on these are :D What could've also been there was a noob druid who grabs the flag, runs outside the enemy base and switches to travel form (dropping the flag), running all the way to the friendly base and being confused why he didn't cap. Definitely and totally wasn't me back in the day
@@GuardianNamick To be fair, if someone is not even invested enough in PvP to see an obvious advantage in wearing PvP-gear, then honestly they deserve to get rekt, until they learn
@@GuardianNamick Sad thing is though, PvP is so horribly unbalanced and has THE worst matchmaking system known to man.... more often than not, you'll end up like the Horde did here... up against a pre-made group in god-tier gear which you can't do diddly squat against. In short... fair complaint really.
Welcome back Cap! Laughed my Ass off. Animations went fking nuts m8!! Dont even know where to start. Just glad to have you back once a while. Great Job as always
You also need to add the grueling stalemate when both sides have 2/3 and both have the flag ... while no one goes to help the one person trying to take it back so the others can capture while EVERYONE basically turtles down XD
your videos are legendary. I saw Savix react to your video and now i watched ALL of your videos on the same day. Yes, i literally did nothing else, and it was amazing. You're a rockstar, man.
aw thanks Subutai, glad you think that x) yea, I did try my hand at some 2d stuff but still Very much to learn lol thanks again though, wishing you well!
Captain Grim your videos are insanely hilarious and i love every bits of it. I hope you never gonna burn out of ideas and videos. Of course taking breaks is necessary when needed. The point i try to make is be wholesome and keep them comming.
Welcome back Grim, a friend and I always put your videos at the same time when we are talking over Mumble to have a hearty laugh. Thank you for those moments I share with him.
I'll still always love Warsong Gulch. The Nostalgia of being a young kid, never getting a higher level character but enjoying battle grounds, so I'd be doing A LOT of WSG lmao.
5:22 This is so spot-on. I'll never forget the Warsong Gulch I joined, 0/3 - 2/3 It was just after NA work hours, so all the bottom-liners came lumbering home, gritting their teeth, ready to take out their work-frustrations on some Alliance kids by farming them at the graveyard for the entire duration of the match, like a virtual pillow to scream into. I ran unhindered, all the way over and grabbed the flag and their rogue was like "Heh! I got this one boys 😈"... That guy was in the dirt before he could even do damage. I ran back, grabbed 2nd flag. Rogue and another guy came running. Same story. Bam 2/3 - 2/3. NOW it stirred the hive as I grabbed the 3rd flag and made it past the middle, but there was nothing they could do about it. I think they tried to grab the Alliance Flag and joined to intercept me. Worst mistake they could do. 3/3 - 2/3 POP! They all got pity-points for their hubris, as the Alliance kids they had been farming ended up getting loads more points and for me... it was just another day, another 5 minutes in WOW PVP. 😂 Nice one!
Been a while :)

this was incredible! the way you depicted the druid wanting the flag and blasting across the map was so well done!
What can I say? Years of firsthand experience with all that :)
I was half expecting Derek to lag around and dodge everything like an Ultra Instinct.
Hah yeah, should have gotten a telefrag for just shits n giggles.
I was half expecting that explosion in the tunnel to be his psychic scream. lol

Lag-dodging sounds more like Vanellope's glitch warping.
Nicest Undead Rogue I've seen: gives his foes advice, doesn't immediately stunlock n' stab, no /spits or /laugh, real swell guy!
So effin true. Undead rogues never failed to use these emotes in my wsg experience😅
Be more like that Undead Rogue. Let's break that stereotype. 👍
"We'll hold them off"

just like his defense xD

Derek, the biggest hero of the Alliance and of Azeroth
When he's not lagging
As someone who is named Derek, and experienced constant lag back in the day. This is a very accurate description of me.
YOU CAN DO IT DEREK, WE BELIEVE IN YOU!
It was so nice of one of the horde players to tell him to go in the right direction. Now that is true sportsmanship.
@@saintlotus93 stop getting the flag jackass.

@@patricklourenco9429 Don't make me cry
Derek never lets us down
Exactly and I still laughed my ass off 😂
My first thought was running on the spot lagging when I heard the dial up :D
I love the idea of Derek still being Derek, no matter what aspect of World of Warcraft he is playing. And despite being underequipped, unable to read the situation, and doesn't do anything right at first, he somehow stays in the game, does tasks, and still gets invited to PvP/PvE raids and playing through expansions with the rest of the WoW community who still seem him as an asset, all while he and everyone else enjoys the game.
I loved the RP dwarf who recounted every detail of the match. Together with Derek and his impeccable performance, they were the spirit of the team.
The orc's single dance move after one-shotting the dwarf @ 3:23 was the one thing that got to me.
Pvpaltfive is such a good son, prioritizing helping his mother.
Carrying in all the grocery bags in one trip has trained his mind and body. He knows true strength is making his mom proud of what a big strong boy she's raised.
@@Tundra. More like she'll stop letting him use her card for RMT so he can get runs.
The Alliance pvp pre-made is terrifying
At least Derek IS TRYING.
That puts him above almost every rando
Undead knows try always first at the dungeon undead rogue but not yet a troll
Holy shit this is so upsettingly accurate!
Definitely brought up some memories 🥲
Among many references and jokes, the premade guy overkilling that horde player with a sneeze got me laughing the most. :D

Only thing missing is Alliance getting farmed in the graveyard after Horde grabs 2 flags
It works both ways
My favorite part 😄
and THEN the premade joins
Me as an alliance player farmed Horde quite much. And then, we were also farmed many times :-D :-D
@@RW77777777 *EXACTLY* That's why I always tell them to cap and hope that they listen, lol.

true, doesn't really happen, But what does happen from memory, is sometimes a lot stronger people join on the enemy team and roll us xd
sounds like me fighting horde in retail
ye. im having some good friends and we often join in losing bg and roll it up to a win)))
thank you captain for your best work yet. the speed metal tauren was absolutely on point.

Wasn't expecting a cinematic masterpiece today
1:30 I'll recognise this guitar solo anywhere. POWER OF THE HORDE!!! \,,/
I swear, I was in this exactly Warsong, and it happens only 3 out of 4 times... but without new good people joining...
The only time new good people join, is when I'm the horde player that was up 2 flags. Cause I am not allowed to ever be on a winning team.
Captain Grim your videos are insanely hilarious and i love every bits of it. I hope you never gonna burn out of ideas and videos. Of course taking breaks is necessary when needed. The point i try to make is be wholesome and keep them comming.
These characters are iconic.
I've started instantly realizing who they are the moment I saw the models.
Your animations are top tier as usual, also this is so accurate of my PVP experience I can only clap and laugh
ngl was half expecting the BG to just end before Derek could of made it
I was expecting him to get stuck in a wall infront of the alliance base
The Druid running at mach Jesus and the death grip towards the end were just 🤌🏼
that tauren druid flag carry sequence morph and animation and everything was amazing!
Keep it up!
Loved the video, every single part. Also it's nice that you used WOTLK as reference (gear wise) :)

Thats not so bad. From Horde perspective it is always "locked Alliance on respawn" or "everyone fight and noone cares about flags.
get gud
You and Platinum are on another lvl with wow content. Ill never tire rewatching all your vids. God tier content
This cant be the real Derek he didn't stept in the fiere.
He even dodged all the fire!
I got goosebumps irl when the ally premade joined lol, great video, subbed!
went from dramatic too wholesome...
goddamnit Grim, stop trying to make me like this bg!
Captain you unironically have better story writing than the entire Blizzard writing team. Thank you for such great videos time after time.
only Alliance premades have a chance. With random teams... Horde always wins,
"Horde always wins" lol, not by my experience.. only if they are premades instead.
So true, throughout all years
Alliance are so bad lool, they actually do just lose every BG except premades
This is easily your best work Grim. FKIN HELL THAT WAS GOOD
