No words to describe this WS, definitely one of the best I have witnessed so far. Good job to Vivid and Excal, I think Vivid will be the WS champ next year. GGS!!
GG congrats to excal! for being the number one over the last years! Legend! Ur the Federer of CnC xD! Also big shouts to Vivid, for playing this fucking Final vs excal to 6:6! Incredible ! there werent many close sets in this ws, which i missed a bit, but vivid did get us an incredible goody for the last :D thanx to domi for this epic intro and outro and the great friendly and competent streamer qualities! GG looking forward to the next ws..... in a year ... :(
Mini Excal for 2040!!!! I'm so excited! I just finished watching this and man was that a good series! WP to both! Thanks so much Domi for the epic stream and amazing into and outro! This was my favorite WS championship so far!
Thanks for the cast, thanks to all the players, sponsors, organisers. Really great event. Congratz to Exacl and wp Vivid in final! GL to Excal on soon becoming a dad. Another challenge!
I always used to say selling CCs is a huge mistake. The advantages of an early 1k does not outweight the risks of getting hunted. We saw how the entire world series effectively was lost to that mistake.
Epic intro, epic games, epic bombshell drop in the interview. Very much enjoyed it!! Thanks to all sponsors, players & streamers of the 2023 WS What an epic day it must be for Excal! Congrats on both accounts!! 👑🐣
Hey Domi, the intro video with the raving participants is epic mate!!! Well done video. The first hour is kind of obsolete but you chaptered it, so fair enough. Thanks for your awesome moderation!
@@DoMiNaToR3 No worries… I have been playing c&c for decades now, but I am not as slightly as good as you guys! It is awesome to watch you while playing myself…
After watching..holy cow what a banger series! My prediction wasn't close to true with excal's key 2-0 sets coming in gla v USA matchups. As always, thanks for commentating domi
Hi Domi, how are they able to play together with high ping or bad internet connection, i wanted to play with my friend but the game is always getting aborted i thought its because i live in germany and my friend in malaysia
1:41:51 what should you do in this position against demo when you are stealth and cant deal with those scorps since you cant produce it so what is the counter, a fast palace?
Lovey your casting Domi. One feedback: the constant jumping around with the screen via clicking on the map makes it harder to watch. Even when you're following a battle you sometimes use the map to move around and I think the mouse will be better and smoother.
@@DoMiNaToR3 Maybe some epic moves also from different angle, like NBA replay thing, ofc if that will not use too much time. Good work Domi, epic finale was worth watching with you being some kind of commentator.
Game # 8 when vivid was SW v China V . Why did Vivid quit . He had a dozer and did some harassment and took down an airfield. And denied excal from an oil . He could of gotten another supply and get back in the game
Hey there! I'm a complete noob and youtube just happened to recommend this to me the other day. So I have a noob question: isn't picking US and spamming Humvees with Missile Defenders inside clearly the best possible thing to do in this game? I'm 3 hours in and the only real counter I have seen to this is the buggies which take a while to get to. Am I missing some layer of strategy here?
It's true that humvees are some of the best units but they're not perfect: 1) they're glass cannons, high damage yes but low health. They have to be micromanaged really well because they're easy to lose 2) they do have counters. For GLA the best counters are bugees but technicals also work ok if they're micro'd. For China migs with black napalm will just absolutely wreck humvees. They need an avenger (which is slow and expensive) to protect them. ECMs are also good at deflecting humvee missiles and disabling then picking them off. Humvee counters take a while to build up and sometimes need a tech building so yes humvees are definitely really good in the early game. But it also takes a while to build up the humvee numbers too and they require great micro.
Also you typically don't get to pick your army. The format of pro tournaments is random reverse so both players are assigned armies and map positions randomly then swapped for the next round. Pro players have to be good at all armies.
The format is random reverse. So they have to get assigned their armies and spots randomly first. Then the next round is the reverse of that. They restart so both know what the matchup is
Sellin your cc - stupid Sellin your cc against Excal - utterly stupid Sellin your cc in the final game of WS against Excal - stupid beyond any measure. I mean who am I to complain, but why, why would you risk a few thousand of $ only to boost your economy with additional 1000? Man. Wonderful set tho, Vivid gave so much fight.
Many many build orders just don't work without selling your cc. Even for those that do, if you don't sell your cc and your opponent sells their cc they will have the upper hand because that $1000 may seem small but it's very important in the very early game. Getting dozer hunted is also not inevitable if you sell your cc. There are good ways to protect your dozer: boxing, mines, putting it in a Chinook or generally just having units at the entrances to your base intercepting. Not selling your cc is sometimes viable, it basically means you're playing passive and that works for some players for example BiGSiZe. But usually it's too passive and pro players will punish you for it. It's easy to be an armchair critic with these things but I can guarantee you every player that made it to top 8 can beat you in a 1v1 easily.
@@somedude5990 That 1000$ actually puts you in a great risk and makes you nervous, because being hunted becomes a new possibility, you have to pay atention all the time and can't really focus on other things. Also it costs you 1000$ more later on and delays using of general promotions, because you have to wait for the thing to build. Not worth it at all. Check replays and see how many games are lost only because of that. Against some random players - ok, but against pros, and esp. Excal, it's usually ridiculously stupid.
Excal vs vivid - World Series 2023 grand finals. What an epic day and epic set
I think that demo rebel ambush was a slap in the face for vivid to focus on the game , after that mistake vivid turned into a beast
He spun that match around and took it home! Very impressive keeping Excal on his toes!
the ambush in the last game also won excel the game too@@Sladeraptor17
Bro's coffee break kicked in
No words to describe this WS, definitely one of the best I have witnessed so far. Good job to Vivid and Excal, I think Vivid will be the WS champ next year. GGS!!
He's not participating
Why @@somedude5990
Legendary cast of a legendary final! Perfect 20yr tribute to this game.
The intro is brutal. Good work!!! Got me hyped for the rest of the video.
Sad cause excal will retire soon and maybe he will not be able to play the next ws :(
Wp excal.. Wp vivid for putting up an epic fight.. Good luck being a father..
Really bro, spoiler (albeit not a massive surprise, to be fair) in the first comment?!
Such a shame that I've not seen it live - BANGING INTRO LOVE IT!
Oh yeah, amazing set, absolutely terrific!!! Top notch narration as always, edge of the seat experience through and through!

Congrats on both accounts!! 👑🐣
Seems Vivid forgot to drink that Excal kryptonite 1:02:00
Ggs wp epic set, but best set has to be marakar vs excal
That game vivid lost 4-3 was rage quit man he had that
Exactly. He has a dozer and denied excal from the oil . He could of gotten a supply and a patriot and he's back
Domi singing random weird stuff 02:59:50 :)
The real winners are the viewers, as always. Thanks dominator.
Congratulations EXCAL!!!GG
Great set. Epic. Vivid put up a great fight. Really great set.
Epic, but I was getting so fucking frustrated with Vivids rpgs, lol...just about every game. Some intense matches though, ggs, wp.
It must've taken a long time to make this intro, especially burton blowing him self and thus losing the set...
Verrrrry nice indeed
Is this the best ws of all time!?
There was one more in 2019 between Logica and Boycah)
@@uniworker_ggagreed, there was so many better world serieses tbh. This was the least drama
How I missed the game (
Saw this and clicked straight away!!! Not reading any further as don't want spoilers..... 👍👍😎😎
best thing is adding the end, i thought vivid got the 7-7 because the video seemed longer
How excal but boom on the chain shovel ? 2:34:52
China's rocket solider has a bomb plant ability
Hey Domi, the intro video with the raving participants is epic mate!!! Well done video. The first hour is kind of obsolete but you chaptered it, so fair enough. Thanks for your awesome moderation!
Glad you like mate. Yeah the first hour is not meant to be rewatched, just a counter for the people who watch it live like other big events do
@@DoMiNaToR3 No worries… I have been playing c&c for decades now, but I am not as slightly as good as you guys! It is awesome to watch you while playing myself…
Im from Malaysia 🇲🇾 🇵🇸 and ill support Vivid no matter what.. GG for both 😝✌🏻
GG on all accounts! Great final match!!🎉🎉
I have to say Respect for the Tumstep
1:00:51 lol
What a World Series
I'm I missing something?
Damn, very intense
Amazing
Haven't watched yet but here's my predictions: any set with gla vivid will at least go 1:1. Any set without GLA, vivid will lose 2:0
After watching..holy cow what a banger series! My prediction wasn't close to true with excal's key 2-0 sets coming in gla v USA matchups. As always, thanks for commentating domi
Nice finals
Thanks for the coverage. 2 great players! Wow 😊
Hi Domi, how are they able to play together with high ping or bad internet connection, i wanted to play with my friend but the game is always getting aborted i thought its because i live in germany and my friend in malaysia
59:27 stream starts
1:13:14 gameplay
Do you think USA lazer lock is too powerful ….? Like it needs to be researched or 20% less damage or something …?
Nah it’s cool, although yes very strong
1:41:51 what should you do in this position against demo when you are stealth and cant deal with those scorps since you cant produce it so what is the counter, a fast palace?
Yes fast palace and battle bus. Or alternatively outspam with rpgs and quads.
epic final! thanks for all the hard work domi!!
the humvee on farmland of the fallen that was going on airfield did it destroyed by itself on splash dmg
What marakar is dutch? He has to start coaching me now
no hes from egypt originally

Always love watching Dominator commentate, very sharp with covering all the important action - rarely misses a beat!

@@somedude5990 I see, thank you for the explanation!
Takk!
I need name the music intro please 🖤
Epic set epic WS Congrats to Excal
Wow ggs
Why do they start the games and quit immediately?
The format is random reverse. So they have to get assigned their armies and spots randomly first. Then the next round is the reverse of that. They restart so both know what the matchup is
In the last game, why didn't he capture the reinforcement pad, wouldn't it produce Vs?
Tox only gets toxin tractors

Hi
GG WP
ai art is theft
Humvees really ruin multiplayer, glad mods like rise of reds removed them
Hhaytch = "H"
❤️
gg!
8000…? Lol
Excal has to pull the dozer hunt lame
Its in the game , there is nothing wrong with dozer hunting . You either can cover your dozers or dont sell your CC
Let's have a championship to see who can kill the most builders.
Frist i thank u so much domi for lovly stream ❤️ second con to excal thats what he deserve ❤️ and at last gg for vivid and great game ❤️
МДА ЖЕСТКАЯ ЗАРУБА
🎉great match 👏👏👏👍
excal was a master of trap, vivid was a monster attacker...
Big shout to ak bollonni for investing so much money in the scene !! I wish vivid would make a comeback …..
想請問為什麼隨機之後都要退出重新開始
Man what a great series
Wp!
congrats to both and wish excal the best with his mini me :D
