- Today, let's see if the strategy I used to beat the vast majority of Undead opponents I faced back in 2020 still holds water! Time for some Orb of Lightning Blademaster action!

Build: works against every UD except the best player in the world.
Grubby: this build is worthless.
😂
self-doubt and low self-esteem is a real b*tch
One of the most exciting match recently.
13:03 big fight from now on
" Beauty queen of only 18 she had some trouble with her micro." - roflmaotopKEK, this was such a beautiful game!!
And since this is my first comment on your videos I should add I heard of "Grubby" back when I started playing WC3 in high school and you were the first professional WC3 player I heard of. I believe we are almost the same age, so that's quite the time since then. Nevertheless, whatever the world top 10 of WC3 players, you were always my #1.
Cheers, sub to the Grub!
I love the tryhard Orc games lately, this is my fav content by far
Keep up the good work Grubby
That Dreadlord focus was beautiful, and so unpredictable. All he did was walk into a stasis trap and instantly Grubby wind walks, chain cc into the Stomp, 300 dmg crit, Dreadlord can't even use invul or tp.
That Sleep was wrecking you hard, Grubby.
Guess BM needed his own Peregrine Took
DL casted on wrong hero in final fight.
This game made me feel like Dreadlord openings have a lot more potential that is yet to be explored
It’s just that DK is far far more optimal. Nothing wrong with DL first. UD heroes are strongest by far, especially leading armies built around a healing/sniping DK
@@sidgupta6154 UD heroes are weak, but perhaps not as weak as NE heroes.
Only one has a good ultimate (DL), and DK / Lich really only have one good spell.
Issue is UD heroes (Lich and DK) don't get too much stronger after level 5. This weakness is emphasized in FFA.
@@sidgupta6154Is it really that much more optimal though? What makes a hero to be considered optimal?
I feel like out of all races, undead has always been the least explored one. The race itself has never really been seen in the spotlight until quite recently, and even then most players went straight for DK Lich opening.
Not until quite recently that we discovered Lich early expansion is actually viable in competitive, despite the fact that Lich recently got a nerf. And not until Happy played it that DK opening with a lot of ghouls became a popular strat among Undead players.
@@DarkflameEmperor Lich has one good spell? How come pro players literally use every spell that Lich has. Some even go with 1 of each the first 3 levels.
Dreadlord opener is super strong but situational. You open up with a lot of ghouls and choose whether you want map control with vampiric aura farming and can do really easy hero surrounds with sleep or deal with mass t1 with carrion swarm. The main problem is that you don't have any other means of dealing with hero fights if you don't make a solid surround. However, if you are a god at micro then i believe it's a solid strat to go ghouls + gargs since you cover up both ground and air. If enemy goes taurens or knights or abos you can always make that 1 wyrm that can easily deal with those heavy units and still cover your other units with mass ghouls and gargs. Did i also mention how insane vampiric + frenzy + statue is with mass ghouls? UD is just so flexible but really hard to micro since most of their caster units require you to manual cast the important spells (frenzy + anti magic shell) and those are also really good with Abos and even gargs
wow this game was insane! nice game! thanks for keeping this beautiful game alive!
I remember precisely seeing you at the time doing that strat. I found it amazing and tried it exactly against my undead friend who kept beating me, and it worked ! all units cover eachother neatly
Love the insane dps blade games. Thanks for this one.
Btw around 2005 there was a race tournament and they didn't decide to continue it as elf won everything with no effort
Idk, it may look funny on the screen but playing vs super stacked BM is not funny at all.
@@Amoebyjust leave the game once you spot Above a lvl 5 Blade with super stacked. 😂
@@Amoeby😭😭
@@saimyintmyat9373 Why? 90% of the Orc players can't keep their blade alive. Even Grubby lost his blade to bad positioning once this game. It's easy to nuke blade if he's all damage items.
That's racist
Sleep spam seems pretty strong. Causes opponent to spend all his micro to canceling it. Really reduces the dps of enemy too.
It only works if you never use carrion swarm
that was a tough one.
I was yelling the whole game... "pull them into a hidden stasis". and then it happened.
Nice blade storm choice, too.
The was the most value blade storm I have seen in 20 years 😅
At the end of the loooong silence I expected something like "so as you have seen, this strat always works against any UD but Happy. Very ez" 😂
Happy does massive hero focus , the strategy doesn’t work on him unless you come up with something to save hero from 2-3 nukes each fight.
The spirit link should help or no? (Haven't played in 20 years)
can eat it with destroyers@@feyrband
@@nerffej got it thanks
Sleep spam seems so frustrating to play against because of all the micro you need to do to stop your units from sleeping. I remember this from the human campaign's last mission when playing against Mal'Ganis :)
Grubby, I think the +3 agility may be more useful than the claw +4. You are also getting attack speed and armor, and losing only 1 damage. Talking about 11:19 when you dropped the slipper for the +8 claw but keep the +4 claw as well.
Loving these uploads. Keep it up Grubby!
When the dreadlord tripped the stasis trap and spent the rest of his life stunned.
Woah this one was close. That guy clearly had skill as well.
GG … Well Played ✌️
Awesome comeback! Very entertaining
Grubby, at 15:33 -- *"I think I lost..."*
Just a few moments later, and a few lucky BIG critical strikes -- ok, we're back in this !! :D
.
I actually stopped playing HC classic to watch this one. SO INTENSE! GG. GRUB to the SUB
the last fight was clutch. I think that bladestorm is one of the worst ultimates. But in this case against ghouls it was fantastic. I was wondering why you never attacked attacked DL before.
Love the explanations at the beginning of the videos❤
Best match! What a game Grubby!!
THAT FUCKING 300 DAMAGE CRIT WAS SO SATISFYINGGGG
I cried when you left the scourge bones item on the floor
That stasis changed the game completely, if DL had used ult there, would’ve been much closer.
insane game, gg!
a tryhard dreadlord sleep opening game next?
Dreadlord got popped before he could even resummon infernal during last fight.
incredible blade items! fun game
que gran juego, como le volteaste la partida...increible!
What a great game, when they got Infernal it looked pretty bleak but Bladestorm (+ Reincarnation) managed to win it back. We're they really still on cooldown in the last fight?
after the confidence at the start there was no way this game would be a loss cuz then it wouldn't be uploaded and knowing how it ends is a bit of a bummer but still impressive recovery, wp
Nah, Grubby has uploaded quite a few losing games before. The game had a lot of cool moments, so he will probably upload it regardless of the result.
That was nice to watch. Does it work in 2v2?
Drop hax: enabled.
Before the final fight I would have bought an invis pot on the TC
i feel like Grub was over confident in that first expo defence. Could have had much less loss if he kited instead of a head on collision and yeah that L1 shockwave mistake lol... Still tenacity and superior micro won the day!
Epic final fight
DL as 1st only has 2 results: you crush him easily from the start to finish or he'll be unstoppable
wow! Not everyone can hold off that solid DL gameplay
Also... would a zeppelin be helpful against DL?
I can't imagine That DL have mass moon wells in his base too. Unlimited sleep spamming for opponent.
I think yes, zeppelin can counter his sleep with quick loading and deploying or Zeppelin warstomp combo strat.
what was the name of the song that grubby was humming when the fire ball was in the air?
Undeads doing well is of course undisputable (at least Happy and 120), but I don't quite see what big buffs they have gotten? Grubby undoubtedly knows more about wc3 than me, but I have been trying to go through the patch notes already before and I didn't find any patch notes where UD got gargantuan buffs at least compared to other races. Human, who was been doing quite weakly in pro games, has in my view actually been buffed a lot especially vs UD. The main kit of UD (DK, Lich, destroyers, statues, fiends, orb, skeletal rod) according to my research has either stayed the same or been slightly nerfed. Lich got the movement speed but so did many other heroes. Some other things outside the main kit have received buffs. But then again other races have been receiving a lot of buffs as well. Only orc I feel is in a weird place at the moment. Orcs got some buffs, but I think Blademaster has been hit quite heavily with critical strike nerf a few years back and item nerfs / changes. Orc has been heavily reliant on Blademaster and the hero itself has been reliant on items and crit. Also moving spirit walkers to tauren totem was in my opinion a nerf. Headhunters got buffed but that's about it. I think the UD power has also something to do with the meta. When Happy started making comeback, it felt like the meta shifted from macrogames to more micro intensive fighting and quick matches. Straight on fights is where UD excels (at leat with good micro). UD is weaker at macrogame.
I didn't realize sleep would be such a pain in the ass
Tough and epic triumph.
what a great game. i think if grubby retrained to mirror image he would easily win the first fight.
best of the best
Very good game ! Bravo
Was worried your disdain for bladestorm would stop you from picking it despite it being an excellent counter to ghouls
Beautiful game!
I wasn't watching the game very carefully. I was wondering why Grubby used dispel to break sleep when he could (probably?) break the sleep by just attacking the sleeped unit with a unit of his own. I didn't watch the game carefully so I don't know.
300!! 21:24
bien jugado grubby le diste vuelta la partida saludos desde argentina
Wow GG ❤
Remember GoStop undead player?
11:58 is not worth going for red camp here?
GG
2020 old days :((
16:19 wait you have human music how?
How much did that stasis trap at the end influence the fight? Looked quite devastating.
Chained into the stomp, it's why DL died and had the rest of the ground troops locked down for 7 seconds or whatever
This was fine to watch but, im absolutely not trying to criticise here, what would happen if the dude, instead of going DL ghouls, went like, DL gargoyles, or dk lich gargs, what would u even do with that tauren and no heals?
Grubby had visions of the opponent for the majority of the match. Ha had a lot of time to react if opponent switched to Gargoyle.
Why not troll regen?
He had 2020 vision for the orcs!!!
Does it beat 120 too??
Not changing the unit comp is a stupid mistake.
If losing to Happy is enough to quit a build then no one can go anything lol
gg
Why did he stayed with ghouls? No transition to aboms at all, especially knowing that your blademaster is level 6 with bladestorm?!
Aboms have no relevant dps and are slow as heck. Especially when you are faced with statis traps.
Aboms fit better with unholy aura, not vampiric
awesome game. i think with this strat, vs dreadlord blademaster is best reskilled to windwalk? man that sleep is super annoying. very low cooldown and the mana cost is nothing. i think increasing cooldown by 0.5s would be appopriately imo, to see how it fairs. or take away the invul part of it. some mechanic about sleep needs adjusting imo.
That expa stasis saved the day!
grubby got lucky last fight. he set the stasis trap 1 min prior to the fight coincidently the last fight was right on trap and with TC stomp was the extra luck to come out on top but if not for that ...i dont think grubby had this one..and he knows it..
aye
Lol nowdays there is like 2 really good ud players .. back in the day we had much more high skilled ud players who could beat anyone...
Dreadlord seems so annoying to play against
Кайф❤😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
xd
Sleep is OP what’s the timer on it like 5 seconds?
Let’s trade sleep for hex?
keep good content grubby
Why it's human music in a game with an orc and undead? They STILL have't fixed it? Gosh... I really want to play Warcraft, but how could I give my money for THIS attitude???
In the campaign, the score screen music also still plays through the cinematics making them unwatchable lol
It also played Burning Legion music near end too.
Holy sheees that bladestorm destroying all the ghouls was insane
“Useless ability” very effective to prevent sleep and shred mass low hp units
What a great game. And that bladestorm at the end! GG wp Grubby
I kind of wish we could see the replay. I was wondering did the Undeads macro slip up in the big battle at Grubby's first expo and also there was a point where Grubby ran into the undead on the map on the undead only had 5 ghouls around 11:54 secs so I assumed he lost a ton of units to a creep camp. Such a great game though!
0:40 Wow Grub, you really didn't have to do that :(
Why not double orb for orcs ? It is powerful against air
lol the Crypt Lord was so perma-stunned in that last fight, that he didn't start using *IMPALE* until the fight was already decided in favor of Grubby...
The UD player was just too busy being perma-stunned and taking protective measures *to save his DL !!* that he could barely even cast his spells !! :O
Stomp + Crit + Stasis IMBA !! :O
What about combining this strategy with Mirror Image? Then Dread Lord users would have to waste time trying to figure out which Blademaster to Sleep, and with Mirror Image scouting, you could delay getting Witch Doctors for a bit..
The ending was Legendary!
Id be cool to get a pig type guide from grubby.
Wjere in sc2 the maps roll out sonquick you basically skip map guides. On warcraft 2 map knowledge is crucial. In war3 maps seem to be equal in value as the races or matchups.
Also i forget why but i wanted to edit hotkey for controls but
Only found unit hotkey
This game must be very rare as bladestorm did great.
whether you opponent has a level 6 dreadlord or is a world champion, never give up
that game ended when BM got a crit on DL for 60% of his HP lmao. what a chad hero
As a vegan, I never need to ribeye
Why didn't he switch to Abo? Don't they share the same upgrades with Ghouls?
Probably wasn't expecting Blade to take bladestorm. Ghoul is generally better with dreadlord as their attack speed means they benefit from vampiric aura more. If the opponent was planning to switch to Abo, he would have gone for DK opening on the first place
How did you come back to win this!?
Where is the legendary badge? What a game!
I still can’t believe people say undead is overpowered. Did this game not prove the imbalance? Orb of lightning does way too much damage 😂😂😂
lol you goober, 3 years ago is 2020 :P
This is probably the first time I've heard the gift sub notif! Awesome game, Grubby :D
