@@shanerooney7288 I remember those times. I didn't have Age of Empires back then, but I got Age of mythology and other games. It was the times where you would bring the whole shebang of computer gear to your friend's house to play together unless you could split screen. How the times have changed xD
That last game with Ruben being the boom player and Matt taking the more supporting role. I was totally caught off guard by how well that went. I thought for sure that it would be trouble for Finland, but they showed very decisively that they could switch roles at the drop of a hat and still do almost just as well. A very well-earned victory. I'm so happy, seeing probably the most prominent game of my childhood is still going stronger than ever today. Even entering the modern e-sports culture and having such a great competitive scene almost a full 20 years after its initial release.
I’m glad I found this in my recommended section. Used to love this game back in the day. It’s nice to see people still play it nowadays, specially in such a high level :)
Well deserved win for the Fins. No matter what people say though, I believe that Rubenstock was the MVP of the event. His ability to harass and be an absolute thorn in people's side no matter the situation fit TheMax perfectly, and in the last game we also saw that he can do TheMax' role perfectly. He truly was the most flexible player in the entire event, all thanks to his unrelentless tenacity, and although he certainly isn't the best of all at traditional play he showed to be the perfect player for this event. All hail Rubenstock, dropper of TCs! Cheers from Norway!
The longer video is really nice because I can't accidentally get spoiled on when the last game is going to end based on the length of the video. It's probably a big hassle, but editing in a random amount of just blank time at the end would be appreciated .
Absolutely agree. All best of 3,5 or 7 should have the same. Its like ok there's only time left on clip for one game, I know who wins, why bother watching
TheMax is a frightening beast. TheViper is amazing - especially his technical understanding. But I don't know anymore who is scarier in a TG - Especially if TheMax is a cavalry civ. Rubenstock is perfect for a team game. He is unbelievably random and has no regard for meta from what I can tell. And he's mentally tough for what I have seen him play.
1:24:05 hard to say if Max actually PLANNED on it, but Lyx destroying his own lumber camp in order to escape/keep up in the vil fight was simply hilarious. Totally understandable brain fart for Lyx there
Slightly late comment but wow, am I happy I found your channel. My favourite game and I was sooo not aware that it was still being played... Great stuff so thanks for the upload.
2:45:00 the game basically won,seeing there is a pot more time we in the video, breaking my brain worrying HOW one could throw this, turns out they just do an interview at the end xd
Yea that's what I thought as well. I really appreciated the unpredictability! Also you can't predict when the games are gonna end when they're all in one video, which makes it feel almost like watching a stream. I like it!
Rubenstock best MVP of all tournaments ever!! What a beast 😎 so much courage . Also, funny how both Chinese players were playing without TC in chaospit xd Also thanks for longer video! No spoilers thanks to that (and avoiding comment section).
Was watching the VOD for this last night, hours after I fell asleep I was awoken by the Hidden Cup Trailer. I was too tired to open my eyes but I listened to the whole thing, smiled and went 'nice', and fell back asleep.
FYI on France. "Out of 168 battles fought since 387 BC, they have won 109, lost 49 and drawn 10", making France the most successful military power in European history-in terms of number of fought and won.[1][2]." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_France
I've just watched WOLOLO 2020 Semi-Finals and Grand Final and next on Autoplay was this........ WOW!!!!!! I never even knew there WAS an AoE2 World Cup. Geeeeez, where have you guys been hiding?
Game 4 so many people saying in chat how stupid Rubenstock was for not following through the wood line when it happened. Finland had a massive advantage at this point in the game obviously, they could tell by the score and by what Lyx was doing with his villagers that he had no town center or lumber camp. They knew they had an insane villager lead, they did the smart thing by taking the highest percentage chance to win the game which was to take your massive lead and boom off it knowing that both chinese players are going to be stuck in the same corner of the map with way fewer villagers and far less resources. The only reason the game even went this long was because Yo wouldn't let it go.
I think the reason Mr. Yo was able to be MVP of the tournament was because of Lyx. Lyx could really screw over everyone else, and that led to Yo carrying later. Both the games that Finland wiped out Lyx (Bedouins and the Nomad) were games that China lost since they could take Lyx before Yo got his insane late-game rolling. Reubenstock was really key to this because he in some way almost neutralized Lyx's crazy with his own (a demo on demo situation)
@@Beastmodeon666 Finns are/were historically viking-esque. They weren't originally Norse, but Germanic influence started showing in their culture and language as far back as 1500 BC and as you might know, Finland became part of Sweden soon after the viking age ended and stayed as a part of Sweden until the early 1800's
The feeling when I have the old CD version from before The Conquerors DLC, and one after that DLC came out, and the Steam version including all the DLCs and here I am watching videos about the game as well... does this count as an addiction? xD
Thanks for another fantastic stream T90. You're the best in the biz man. And congrats to Finland. WP guys. (Oh, and Yo is MVP or the tourney? Lol. Yea. No. Rubenstock for MVP. #Clearly)
Let's celebrate the winner immediately after Xmas, OK? Meet at 'The Place'. That was amazing run for both teams, came so close several times. Exactly the way you'd want to end the Series!
How often is this held? When will be thenezt World Cup? 2020 maybe? I guess there won't be any in 2019 since the DE is still pretty new and changes need to be made...
Age 2 aged so well, sometimes I am a bit sad that age 3 did not recieve nearly as much appreciation from players, even thou the game is not bad at all.
@1:01:20 "I made a promise that if you guys support me enough I will do something in return for you, but (oooobviously) I was not thinking you would end up holding your end of the bargain, so now, even though you all supported me, I am going to totally bail on my part". Good Guy Tristan.
How to make a tuetonic healing fortress near impervious to physical attacks - imperial age, fully upgraded: 29 tuetonic knights, 21 hand cannoneers, 10 monks. Square formation, stand ground. pair up this group with 20-30 teutonic knights, 60 pallies split into two groups of 30. Use alongside siege units to take down ranged units en'mass and save lots of gold
It would be nice if you could somehow disable the attack notification sound while spectating. It's so annoying in team games since it is constantly going off.
About France's so called bad military record, I honestly would have imagined AoE2 players to have enough historical knowledge to know it was the complete opposite during most of history.
I know right!? France has won most of its wars in history. The only people they have a track record of losing against is Britain, and even then it is about half an half.
The prize was actually way more worth for the Chinesse team (if they're living in China ofc), 400$ is like 10 times more valuable in China than in Finland.

OMG .. Game4 was best one ever! I like Winland gameplay - they keep on doing insane stuff and win. They are real AOE masters.
I don't even know there is AoE tournament before seeing this video. Bring back memory and am amazing how AoE pvp can be. Really nice match!!!
Same for me

And now almost two years later, China A represented by Yo and Lyx manage to win the 2020 2v2 WC. Funnily enough with a score of 4-2 !
Amazing man, thank you so much!
It's funny how sheep are waiting for their turn to be slaughtered.
In their hands, villagers actually have combat power, and are way more powerful than cavaliers.
Every day is a school day. The ebb's and flows of high level gaming. The fire boat strat was most enjoyable. Long may you stream.
Really nice! Was pretty rubenstocked about the TC fights!
And also, so much rubendocks on that strange map.
Shame that the video rubenstops
I played AoE2 a lot when I was a kid. Not on this level though :D
Let's not forget TheViper offering up his water buffalo to TheMax for peace on water nomad in the semi finals. Classic play

Great set ! Great casting!
OMG this was soooo exciting, congratulations to Winland, love them uwu

Damn, just look at the destruction animations, they should do this to the other childhood games like arcanum or so
Man leggit AoE II Old School looks and sounds so much better than DE. Please, bring it back.

Awesome cup. Well deserved win for Finland . the insanity of the double tc drop was my highlight.
I really watched this whole thing thinking it was the most recent 2v2 world cup.
59:38 @tilted_kayle don't tell that joke again, turning 360 degrees would make you face the same direction you started in...
Is the first time i see this game played like actual chess.
I know that sleep schedule though, doing after my night shifts, cant wait till your break is over ;)
The Fat Dragon and Rubenstock would be the greatest 2v2 team in history
Add DauT and MbL and you get the greatest 4v4 team in history.

Never tc drop when playing vs rubenstock
I am very confused. Why didn't Lyx just attack Max's scout at 2:21? We had enough time to kill him and prevent the lame
Torilla tavataan! Best 2v2 Series ever!

admit it, you just dislike to put their banner:)) Finland's team is quite dynamic(still watching).
