it's kind of funny, Grubby looked down upon us warcraft3 custom gamer plebs and now he has become the thing he once scorned :P I think post competitive wc3 gamer days, he eventually played dota and league (which are based off a wc3 custom game) and now he's playing a reforged custom game (honestly no problem with it, custom games can be fun, and when Grubby was competitively playing wc3 they were fun then)
i remember this strategy. It was the hail mary strategy in hero wars. If you built a gold mine and DIDN'T get selected to play in the first duel, you basically won. If you spent your gold on a mine instead of resources and DID get into the duel, you were half crippled from the start. It was always a gamble.
Amazing custom map. Ngl grubby you should play more of these for the more casual players / viewers, if you have time of course. Regardless, peak content as always. Cheers.
Idk how much it is exactly like the strike from SC2 but usually you don't go more than one mine before destroying the bunker. In SC2 the middle is worth 2 goldmines for every player. The first mine takes 6 min to pay back it's cost, 2nd takes 7.5, 3rd 10 and lastly 4th takes 12.5. (Early mine puts you behind for a while and can snowball to be worse). It is usually better to delay the first 2 goldmines to gain middle which is worth the same but also for your teammates. Killing bunker gives you gold in SC2 which is usually enough to safely invest in ur first mine
Druids + any t1 ranged is OP. The roar burns enemy dispel and rejuv keeps them, front liners and heros alive. At t3 they are awesome front lines. Shaman for the ranged and talons/banshees for debuff
@@newwonderer maybe if it works out right but all I saw this game was they were winning and tornado dude just split his army and gave fought the next army with half over and over
Awesome Grubby, love your usual stuff, especially FFA, but this custom game feels so fresh. Especially because you're not so OP due to your skill level like in the normal competitive games, so it's like you're just a regular dude playing these custom games except you have chat to give ideas and your natural smarts. Very cool, please keep up playing this game mode 🙏
I'd imagine casters are always really good in this type of auto-battler because there is no way to target fire them, you -have- to fight front to back to get to them. Which is why games like Auto-Chess / Underlords have units with the 'Assassin' Type that jump to the back line. Grubby / Harstem / Soda Direct Strike Team when?? Fun fact, since your bathroom break seems to have sparked a discussion - Soap, does not primarily kill germs; it disrupts their ability to adhere to surfaces like your hands - causing them to drop off as you rinse. Now, it does disrupt the cellular membrane over time, but the friction and hot water from rubbing your hands together speeds this up. In fact, only rinsing with hot water + rubbing your hands together has a similar affect. Using soap just increases that affect.
1:35 Little known fact: WC3 uses RNG for the speed of each autoattack that a unit does (or perhaps it is the speed at which damage is applied? It's been years since I learned this). They did it so that in situations such as that one, one unit will always kill the other. There's an option to disable it in the editor, but it's quite well hidden 😅
I was just looking for this, and watched an old pala rambo. I suggest trying it again, with human only. Pala peasants knights foots. I think it could be hilarious, and slightly more possible.
happy to see you discovering something new within the game for yourself. as someone who enjoys both melee and custom maps, its nice to have someone enter the " scene " for the lack of better word. so fun to see you discover, learn and figure out the little ins and outs. i started like 3 days before i saw your first video of this, so its double interesting to see the different approaches.
After I've watched this video I was eager to try it out myself only to find out I can't launch W3 due to some bug since the latest patch (I am a Mac user). Thank you Blizzard!
at 23 minutes Grubby is talking about glavethrowers, writes nothing to his allies and then teal says gamethrowers teal is watching grubby's stream while playing?
As someone who has played direct strike (starcraft2) for years Dota2 and sc2 for a decade+ w3 for 2 decades next year : Did Direct strike started as a mod of w3 too? (as same as every tower defence, Dota/lol/mobas ) P.s. Grubby if you read this try Lordaeron Strike in SC2 arcade i feel it way funnier/fresh than direct strike(wc3)... you can even play with/agaisnt sc2 different difficulties IAs with 5 w3 races
if sc2 wasnt free id buy wc3 (for the 3rd or 4th time in my life) just to play this map, they could even build this map inside of sc2 with all the warcraft units maybe its there already idk
It's just weird to me that a man can spend so much of his life decisively stating that stuff like this just "isn't his thing" and very quickly finds that it definitely is. He also spent a lot of time looking down on Custom Games for not being officially supported. It's good to see that Grubby's opening up to different styles of games, but equally frustrating knowing it's been around this whole time and he's only discovering it now.
I dont play the game, but people are not doing enough tempo control or if any...if your allies has potential to stack you should donate them gold to build more tanks especially MGs instead of spending gold on bad tanks

Ah, we got him boys. He’s hooked. He ain’t EVER leaving the Direct Strike now
like.. dota? :D just kidding.
@@Memphisko I’ll be different this time. Surely he won’t get bored
Its lile playing DOTA, but you're the A.I in reversed cowboy.
Please more Direct Strike! Amazing game mode 😊
It really is, I started playing the SC2 version of it since seeing Grubby’s stream (since WC3 Mac version is broken by Blizzard in the latest patch) 😂
I have enough
I surprised myself that i watched throught the whole video without skipping any seconds
Agreed, love it
wish they added neutrals too, to increase the variety
I love watching big armies collide. Please upload more of these games!
grubby: expends 600 gold on mine 2 and 3
also grubby: 'How is his army so powerful?'
maybe because he has 600 more gold invested in units
Dude I am so hooked on these Direct Strike videos... Please keep going with them!

13:30 I love that insano style is actually catching on in some niche parts of the internet hehehe
I like how in the Warcraft version you get random units, It's not like starcraft you build the same units every game
It is awesome seeing Grubby have fun and also be challenged

1:33 Left side curse 😂
can't wait to run into you playing direct strike lol
"I thought you didn't like custom games?" "so did I." Real
Tornado looks awful in this. Pretty much saves your opposing units and then drops them onto your back line.
but can slow your own army to form big army with next player to make big wave
@@newwonderer maybe if it works out right but all I saw this game was they were winning and tornado dude just split his army and gave fought the next army with half over and over
Can't wait for "1 Hero Only, No Army, Direct Strike" 🙃

air skips over melee and goes for casters

That guy with Tornado was TK'ing the second game
This map slaps. And with Grubby it’s even better
42:30 you fought with 1,5 armies and still beat 75% of them, it's was good actually
I have watched about 1700 of your wc3 videos and never heard you curse until now.
Would love to see some more custom maps on your channel!

"Do I have anti-air?" Yes, you got demon hunter. Just get orb.
Lets see Paul allen’s grommash made me die laughing
Its the best meme card in the video.
these direct strike wc3 custom map games are quite entertaining. thanks
Jeez, that Tyrande is absolutely broken.
After I've watched this video I was eager to try it out myself only to find out I can't launch W3 due to some bug since the latest patch (I am a Mac user). Thank you Blizzard!
This has become my favorite game mode, need more Direct Strike!

I love this series ❤
40:50 Grubby feels the shame for his shameless plug :P
Nice comeeback!
playing ds while watching grubby play ds = i should touch grass
The third gold mine was the MVP
LOL squeeze it off that's devotion

Is grubby hooked on Direct Strike? is he a custom game andy now?
Love this map 😊
gold mines take 8 mins b4 they start benefitting you
That was a good game
Next is Footman Frenzy maps?
Grubby try to put more tanky units in the front, you can survive without dmg or support but not without tanky units.
Nice map, more games pls 8)
Maybe look at the SC2 version of direct strike?
Oh i love this game!!!
This is more fun than playing it.
is this mode available on dota 2 arcade?
Is there any DS games on bnet?
Tornado messed up all the order
Love you grubby
All that gold wasted on tier 1 units during late game hurts to watch.
need this in dota arcade
Direct strike is so cool
Starfall so strong!

Moarrr Moarrr
i joined a direct strike in w3c today, it was my first time playing this mode, and at the end my team told me not to play again😂
that happens regardless of skill level so keep playing my man
@@vvvvv6574
thanks😭
I played 6 games yesterday. Lost 5 of them. Just practice.
MOREEE THISS CONTENT
still thinking it's like melee xD
In SC2 Direct strike the rule of thumb is a 3rd mine after you destroy the bunker and if you turn off auto cast in the AI you can micro the spells.
More of thissssss
Road to Rank 1 DS??
Grubby, lets play flamejant hero defense 3.70
I dont play the game, but people are not doing enough tempo control or if any...if your allies has potential to stack you should donate them gold to build more tanks especially MGs instead of spending gold on bad tanks
driving me crazy you didnt buy mines
Gruby can you make a video of Warcarft Survival Chaos
