Never played but enjoy watching.
Its one of those rare times when youtube recommendations works right.
was gonna say the same thing
damn you right
Fully agree
Well unless you have a extra 20 bucks when you buy on you, wait till ya do
Because 3 factions are dlc
I started watching this in hopes of learning something.
I learned i suck at this game lol
How to be good at this game. Micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro micro etc.
@@davehart7943 then play Men of Wae
@@magnuscritikaleak5045 Men of war has the same level of micro
Same
It's all about microing faster. Whoever can play faster, has more time to think and make smarter decisions. Get a setup you are comfortable with and work on playing faster.

The fact you think your'e watching YT for free is amusing.

Usually these videos with commentary feel unnatural and the commentators either don't know what they are talking about or they want all the attention. This was very good. Great commentary: informative, detailed, amusing. Nice job
👏👏👏
Because this tournament isn't made by business with $$$ signs in their eyes and not even understanding the game. Community hosted tournaments are most enjoyable to watch and coh2 is a good game. =)
Yes. Geek to geek always work better!
I agree!
Yeah the commentary was spot on!
i am 3 minutes into the video and im absolutely dumbfounded by the quality of these commentators what the hell, their passion just reeks off of the screen
The commentary on this is absolutely fantastic, love every second of it
Wait a minute. I know this guy! :D
23:10 is hilarious! MOOOM GET THE CAMERAAAAA!!!
yeah the commentary was spot on, their charisma and humor were used in the right moments and they were not stuffed in watcher's noses.
You guys fluff too hard. It was aight
I know absolutely nothing about this game but I'm loving these matches.
I like fractions but hate frog but love cutting them into fractions guess it's the same.
COH is a DAMN good game
i like COH 1 more than 2..... but both are good (COH 1 is fucking legendary as an RTS.....very balanced)
It’s free on steam rn if you want it!
@@benwatson222 Is it still free on steam?
@@kainhall Well, we don't talk about artillery in COH1...
Great to watch for those of us that cant beat the easy AI in skirmish.
I can beat standardbots and sometimes hard bots 🤣👍🏼
Relatable 😂 watching this gameplay makes me feel like a bum lmao
Yeah..I think im doing it wrong, since im beating standard & easy Ai.
It's been 3 years, but here's 3 quick tips that helped me tremendously
Use cover as much as possible, or else your units will take a lot more unnecessary damage
Only fight battles you can win, this will save manpower in the long run, and less risks for losing units
Prioritize saving veterancy and reinforcing units instead of buying new ones, those that you already have are a lot more valuable compared to new ones.. and even cheaper to reinforce them
Hope that helps, I think these 3 tips alone are enough to beat the expert bot
LMao , this was soo good ,i never knew that coh had some kind of tournaments ... this was soo good , also commentary was entertaining as hell ... now i want to play some coh with my lads. .
swaggy vycka its free only for a few days!
Have just looked at the first game so far but this commentary is completely brilliant. "A symphony of panzers..." Come on!
I am wondering who you are watching then. Most of the commentators I listened to know quite a lot about the game and strategy of the game.
Stormless and A_E have built some great chemistry, and it shows in the casting, excellent work
The zenith of our chemistry in three years of casting was Luvnest vs. Refero earlier in the tourney, I really felt like we sounded like a pro cast team in that match. We were a lot fresher, it was awesome. Huge shout out to momo and tightrope though, they slotted in beautifully.
CoH2's most famous bromance? :P
And now they've fallen out for some reason.
@@Elintasokas really!? You know what happened ?
@@Elintasokas Aha is that why this is the only stream/Tournie ive found so far!
I can't believe i watched the whole video. I was enjoying so much every moment of the game that it didn't feel like almost 4hrs at all
@3:08:00 :´´D "OH! What was that!" "Just a tree." "Oh bloody hell it exploded! ...Very exciting stuff."
I am terrible at rts games, but enjoy watching gameplays.....and this one was epic....
Congrats on organizing such a succesful tourney AE! Some of the best matches I've ever seen. It was tense till the very end!
The final tank battle in that second game was something epic indeed. It was like i was watching a movie.
You guys were casting the tank battle in fury basically.
This just makes me want CoH 3 now.
I'd love to see it take place in the Korean war or Vietnam war. I would love to see the m103/conqueror in the game.
@@ToastedWaffles_ Hell, I'd be down for that. Maybe even an official modern version. At least Iron Harvest looks promising.
Yeah is it comming ??
Pacific, there is so much more in the Pacific campaign especially because of the close combat. Much more than the Vietnam or modern warfare.
@@sergeeduardodegernier5195 Plus Pacific would fit in well with the other games, being the same era. It would make it a WW2 trilogy. Also they could also bring over a bunch of the old maps and all the old teams. Would be awesome.
Welcome from recommended videos TH-camrs ----- This is the Grand Finals of the biggest 1v1 tournament the Company of Heroes community has ever had. We love CoH2 and treat it as though it's a competitive game worth playing. This tourney was a huge crowdfunded two day live event in Manchester England on September 15th and 16th 2018. So many incredible matches from this tournament (Playlist th-cam.com/play/PL5Gq-kPFBcWF8NW9r1HtxeSKSGTEYze7c.html ) ----- This is the Grand Finals it's 11pm the players and the casters (myself and my friend Stormless) are all very tired but hyped up - what happens next is an incredible and dramatic ordeal as both players go the full distance. Enjoy!
Coming over from the AOE2 HD community I can say that I love this attitude. lets bring RTS Esports back into the mainstream!
You are back at it again in recommended videos guys
@@NerdGlassGamingPA Ohrly? that's nice to hear!
@@AECoH Indeed
This is my first time seeing this game but definitely not my last. What an awesome cast!
Coh2 is years old. There is plenty of casts, imperialdane is one of them and i recommend a watch. Coh2 is probably the most interesting RTS, as its much less klickfest then SC2
@@jmkhenka Sounds like a good game for older, less reactive players. Thanks!
14:00 Dead grenadier doing a sick breakdance
very great commentry
Great content. I've been in CoH2 for so long but never knew watching this tournament would be so god damn amazing! I learned so much and thank you for the awesome content. Please never stop making videos! These are absolutely glorious matches.
Honestly, This is the most enjoying type of games to watch Pro's play. I have watched some other games I have enjoyed too, but this was really good (althought I didnt watch all 3 hours of it)
As a Eastern Front studying fanatic THIS IS SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH!!!
I know this was over a year ago, but you guys are excellent at casting. Thanks for the entertainment!
your comment is now over a year ago
@@karlhans6678 your too
WOW! That first overtime gain was insane. Literally 400 to 75 victory points and somehow talisman pulls it back. Really shows how powerful veterancy is on tanks
Outstanding to watch and great play by all players involved. Also great commentary by these two gentlemen, you can really hear the passion.
You lads keep it professional, I love it!!!!! So much effort put it man. Big. Up.
Absolutly stunning and exciting to watch cheers to stormless and AE for the great comments and of course every player who played in the tournament !!!
Great commentating. It really hyped me and totally enjoyed this.
Those counter snipes are amazing! Inspired me to do it in a game - felt so good.
This is quickly becoming one of my favorite games to watch. Great commentary!
I thought I was good when I beat hard AI
Beautiful camera moving - thank you very much !
Thank you for noticing :)
Me in Multiplayer: Spams artillery making!
Idk how to play so all I can do is support
Never played CoH 2, but the original was a blast to play at lan parties!
Thanks a lot for the video, I'll keep a look out for more of these videos :)
Great games and great casters. You really made me interested into the matches !
I've been playing CoH 2 and I love the game already. Great to the pro's in action and try to learn from them. Thanks for the superb casting
7 days binge-watching in 2020 and i´m still hocked by you guys! Keep going! I have some years for follow up^^
oy! me too.
Great matches, great commentary! Thanks for the upload!
I gotta say that final encirclement in the second game made my day
I am quite amazed by the fact that almost a million people know Luvnest now, going by the views of this video
I have to say i've been following you guys casting and it has gotten incredibly better and great. The show must go on.
Thank you very much for making such a great tourney.
watching this was like movie and your work as commentators btw was just amazing :)
That was so epic. Well done putting it all together.
The build up from 44:00 and then clueless cue at 44:22 cracked me hard. Hahaha
56:19 "He doesn't gamble unless he knows he's going to win."
Then that's not a gamble, is it?
MoonSaiyan it’s a advanced gamble with insurance of victory or a fact either or
Calculated risk rather
@14:00
"You spin me right round baby right round...."
Glad I'm not the only one that saw that:)
I rewatch these fights like boxing. Watch Muhammad Ali fights and he fought in the 50's to the 80's. This will be the same, company of Heroes is amazing. And is becoming a sport.
That COH 1 music by Jeremy Soule... Takes me back man.
Best commentary I've heard since Jenga Title Match
rare you tube recommendation - plus 1 I say. I bloody-well watched the whole thing, action reporters were workin out for me. Need to see more of that in many, many other games, too. Being addicted to boom, like, I play Men of War2 Assault squad - love that game so this has been a treat really. Back n forth of the match, stuffs go boom, great! Bring it on ! Will try to go easy on these vids or go blind or something worse! o7
You guys are awesome! Keep up the good work!
never played this game before but throughly enjoyed these matches. Great players and great commentators!
nice commentary on a a nice series of games good work boys
the sniper battle in this match very exciting it's like Vasily vs Major Konig.
I love em they are great, better than watching football.
Anything is better than watching boring 0-0 football matches. Yawn!
SPOILERS explanation of double elimination.
OK so because it's a double elimination tournament every player must lose two matches to be eliminated. Talisman has not lost a match yet and is unbeaten at the start of the Grand Finals. Luvnest already got beaten by Talisman earlier in the tourney which sent him down the lower bracket. So Luvnest winning the first Bo3 here gives Talisman his first loss and triggers a second match. This effectively makes the Grand Finals two Bo3s.
Thank you for the explanation. However, I must say it did seem counterintuitive that Luvnest won the lower bracket, then won 2-1 against Talisman in the upper bracket final, AND STILL had to .. play Talisman again? The idea of a double-bracket is to earn another shot by winning the lower bracket. Luvnest won that lower bracket so how does Talisman get another shot? There was no lower bracket to win anymore.
Do other double-bracket tournaments do this in their finals as well, in other games? What about the OCF tournament in CoH2? I'm not bickering. I genuinely don't know (I started playing CoH2 during the ESL era).
It didn't' seem counter-intuitive if you understand that it's double elimination every one has to lose two matches to be eliminated. Talisman beat Luvnest 2-1 in the Upper Bracket Final to send Luvnest down to the lower bracket. Talisman is unbeaten at the time of the Grand Final, do you think it would be fair to Talisman if after all that Luvnest could just beat him once and win GCS2?
In OCF AmiPolizeiFunk wanted to do double elimination but was wary of this concept for the grand final, so what they they made it best of five, and they gave Aimstrong pick of faction AND map in game 1 calling it "winners bracket advantage". This was to get round the problem I explained above. Two things here if we'd done that Talisman still would have won having won 3-2 over the course of the Grand Final so the result is the same. Secondly I actually think that's just as convoluted, in fact possibly more so.
As soon as you get your head around the double elimination concept I think it works really well when you employ it at every stage of the tourney. I don't see that aspect as faulted even slightly, the only aspect I wish we'd done better is anticipating that all the matches would go so long.
Fair enough. I hope Luvnest was cool with it. And you didn't answer the main question (whether this is common practice in other double bracket tourneys). But I checked for myself and it seems so. Thanks for the quality entertainment and keep up the good work.
@@WorldCitizen333 yes it is common practice in almost any esport/sport that does double elimination style brackets.
Because otherwise you would get punished for not losing before the Grand final while everyone got an extra life. NCAA college baseball does this for their post season tourney, StarCraft does this also for their group stages which is double elimination while the knockout is single elimination. Very common practice.
@@Darsam88 a counter argument is that by winning games , you play less games compared to those that get dropped to lower bracket, i.e. Dota 2 Ti format.
Happy to see the popularity of this. Didn't know CoH 2 was still doing alright. Old time player
I think fatigue played a massive role for Luvnest and Jesulin. Great tournament tho.
If you look at the brackets see which player sent them to lower bracket hell... ;)
Great casting!
23:05 "He was doing the charleston" LMAO
I'll preface by saying I've been a big fan of competitive StarCraft for over a decade and I continue to follow it, particularly Brood War and the ASL. This was so fun to watch.
The commentary is brilliant well done lads
All I know is that I’ve been playing COH 1 for a long time and i wanted to play this game,full version
I love this game. Watching to hopefully improve my play.
Amazing game, amazing match, amazing commentary. I think I'm gonna go reinstall this game thanks to you guys.
damn, i've been playing this game since it's launch (mainly play skirmishes or vs AI with friends though) but never realized the pro scenes were awesome!
Just found this vid, didnt even know this was a thing! Love it.
These comments are what you want to see when hosting a tourney! Great games, enjoyable to watch and thank you casters for making it so too!
Brilliant commentary, really makes the event
Wt a match it was! Enjoyed every bit of it ❤️
Thanks for the match.
Love this game, you guys made watching this awesome!! I now subscribe!!
Epic commentary guys good job!
Oof, you guys WERE AMAZING. THIS WAS, A MOVING EXPERIENCE. Truly a capstone to the long standing Coh2, series. You've, won my admiration and respect. All the love and blessings to you all, cheers.
Thanks for this comment :)
My pleasure! You've, earned this, and more.. You've, been at, it, for a while!
It,(whatever you do continually), eventually, becomes, MASTERY! ;)~ You guys are *pinches thumb and index fingers* this, close!!!!!!!!
"We're going to have a sniper knife fight!" that line tho holy shit
This whole series inspired me to get back into this game. I had played the campaign but never really learned enough to enjoy multiplayer (I always lost) but this is making me want to learn more and play this game more seriously.
Thanks A.E. COH and thanks TH-cam recommendations.
You will need to get used to losing as the game does have high learning curve in multiplayer. If you stick through it you will start to see wins with losses =)
Thamor I lost many a game before quitting the first time. I won’t let it stop me this time. I will prevail!
Just play on multy against AI on expert 4vs4, when u get it then u are rdy to play on multy against players.
Thank you! I enjoyed watching this. Is there a way to have a map veto-ing process in the future?
i love the commentary. it is so british it feels like it goes along with the ww2 theme of the game
2:03:36 "hmfhmfhmf indeed", you guys are geniouses ahahah
just bought whole COH2 with all expansions and stuff for 8,50 E...god bless...this game is immortal...
Great games! love the casting Banter
I love the commentators, mild creamy voices and some good banter too. good work and congrats
creamy voices? gross...
@@josephsmith7114 lmao what u on?
HOLYYYY.. WHAT.A.FUCKING.FINAL
This was one game that I really thing is a total balance and a very very fun game to watch and play!
I beat both these guys playing a year-and-a-half ago when I had my gaming PC before I sold my gaming PC so technically I'm one of the best players in North America
That was really fun to watch. I need to get this game
I normally watch Dawn of War 2 games, but Company of Heroes 2 has very similar gameplay and game objectives. This was entertaining :)
3:10 'Playing as the Soyviets' that got me good, damn
wow, never played this game but this was a lovely match, commentators were also amazing
You should buy the game, it's a really great and very beautiful RTS. Lots to learn but we're a great community and have loads of fun!
Stormless Eh maybe he should try CoH 1 first
CoH2 is not so bad anymore with updates and balance that have taken place over the years. I don't know that it quite captures CoH1s beauty, but the CoH1 is now quite outdated.
I have preferred CoH2 for a long time now simply due to features that came around in the instalment like TrueSight and vaulting. It does depend on each persons preference to which game they lean into.
Wthboms6 - If you're reading this, try both! CoH1 has an amazing campaign and tons of great units. It's still a very good game today. You'll find CoH2 is the place to be for tournaments, events and just keeping up with the crowd.
Stormless I see
these guys are next level. great casting.
I always play CoH almost every day till now. its awesome..
I have a blast even when i was only fighting AI on scenario..
Great matches and excellent commentary. Those guys are funny.
Good commentary, good play. Good job.
really nice commentary ,
more please :)
man what high level play. what a joy to watch.
So nice to go back to this after the recent WC. No Ostruppen in sight
"HelpingHans of armored car" :D
Never played the game, pop up in recommended , liked subbed. ANd Matt is a cuty. !
The commentary makes this 👌
