The legendary chicken run was one of the most dramatic pieces of cinema I’ve seen all year. A rags to riches, defy the odds underdog story. An emotionally gripping tale that will leave audiences in disbelief.
This Chicken was more hyped than the Popeye's Chicken Sandwich, and took even longer to be delivered, but damn if it doesn't hit different. Regardless of whether he made more mistakes than Deshaun Watson has had Masseuses' or not, Egg came through.
I think you're right to rate the frilled dragon so highly; it's insane value in the early game. However, I think you held onto the one in the first game way too long. You already had two dragonflies; dump its ass and scale a lion or a rooster.
He refused to take the lion because it would compete for buffs with the lizard. But it was already stronger than the lizard and would only get more powerful.
@@skorpiongod He has a huge sunk cost fallacy when it comes to foods I think, once he buys garlic for a unit he just doesn't want to get rid of it ever.
Episode 20 of "NL buys a Frilled Dragon with a Faint team but doesn't level the Frilled dragon, instead chooses to keep him on the team for some bizarre reason on level 1"
It was painful watching you pass on the multiple 20/20 lionesses while going for shop scaling. Also sad that you never saw another chicken to buff the one you had.
In all seriousness, I can't even continue watching this video, the threehead plays he's making in the first run are so unbelievable that my face is caving in from anti-pog technology
I can't even count the amount of misplays on my hands and feet combined. Yet somehow he gets to 10, what a legendary run lol. I've had chicken/lioness runs where my entire shop is at least 40/40 and still don't get to 10 wins. Skill diff I guess.
8:26 that loss isn't from the dragonfly, it's from not pivoting off of the frilled dragon/ant setup because you had a spider giving your frilled dragon a small buff, which is fine early but falls off insanely hard. Passed up a 6-6 lion like 3 rounds prior to this over the 9-9 frilled dragon (5:50). That would've been almost an exact lateral move to a unit that scales 10x better in the late game. Same goes for the Ostrich (7:45). Both the ant & the frilled dragon were kept entirely too long, that's what lost the run.
Why is he not putting the panda buff on his green pepper trex with no stats of its own instead of his already scaled bison? These are questions that our limited knowledge of science is currently unable to answer
Having "legendary" in the title already implies that the run defied all logic. Typing this at the start with the assumption that NL makes mistakes that would punish most people. Yet somehow the stars align and he gets carried
I think it's more so the fact that The Chicken Run has been so hotly hyped and anticipated in livestreams, but it took so dang long for it to come out because of The Colonoscopy Backlog
Been waiting for the chicken run for ages. If you played it any worse I'd assume it was intentional and yet you still hit the 10 win. Unreal content. I'm livid. I'm devastated. I'm pogging. I'm ready for more.
That chicken game was wild. Watching NL roll those shops of tier 1s and getting those much needed draws all while simultaneously unconsciously self sabotaging himself the entire time. The SAP gods must have a very sore back after that one.
The chicken run...it's legendary for a reason. A run that never should've worked, guided through the treacherous and sweaty valleys of SAP weekly by the inerrant hand of fate. What an incredible thing to witness.
I've never shed a tear for any sports / gaming event in my life I've never cried out from watching a stream But holy fucking shit him rolling at 28:40 past a can and a lioness didn't just sent me screaming out of my chair. Just pain
Been waiting for this masterpiece. Absolutely did not disappoint. Reminds me of the first time NL used the lioness and kept buying all sorts of cracked out gorillas.
This is the chicken run that he's been on and on about? THIS?!?! Chicken at the right time is so good that it still got a 10 piece with these plays... No wonder he thought chicken is bad for so long making plays like these. This man is so good at SAP content that I keep watching even when I'm pulling my hair out.
"We're not going to invest in the frilled dragon much" *Invests half his gold buying a bunch of items on the frilled dragon and refuses to pivot off of it*

NL on his way to miss seventeen tier ones in the shop while running a build exclusively designed to buy and sell tier ones +2 for the goated chicken though, 10/10
8:25 “Everyone’s gonna use that as evidence that the dragonfly is not that good” nah i’m using that as evidence that the frilled dragon is not that good and you should’ve sold it for the lion
Chicken is kinda a lucky pop, but when it starts popping it's basically a guaranteed win. You need the insurance to get it started, but then the shop gets big enough to replace your team, and then that holds you over for more tier 1s. Same with lioness, which I'm sad NL skippiled, but lioness is harder to get going because it's slower and appears late already so you either win before it's useful or you lose
NL spends three minutes explaining how he should pivot his team. He then proclaims “The cow is our strongest unit.” He then immediately sells the cow, keeping a 5/3.
I'm not surprised that someone who doesn't value the can doesn't value the chicken. Literally any situation where it's possible to trade a round or 2 for chicken buffs is worth it.
That was the most cursed chicken run of all time. edit: just got the the part where he sells the level 3 and buys a hammerhead. I can’t believe it got worse
It’s so funny to me when NL says he doesn’t like gambling but then will say things like “ok I know that we’ve tried so many bearded dragon runs that didn’t work bUT WHAT IF IT DOES THIS TIME?!?” haha. That is gambling my dude 🙏 If I’m allowed to go full parasocial mode, I think he just doesn’t like traditional gambling because he knows the odds and the fact that it’s a losing game. When the odds are uncertain, though? He’s a gambling FREAK! It explains so much from his love of rogue-likes to his strategies in SAP :)
No wonder he doesnt normally like the chicken. He doesn't know that once you get to the point that the shop is better you pivot the whole squad instead of the same thing over and over.
NL tried so hard to throw that chicken run but the chicken is just too strong.
For real this man missed so many tier 1s the game basically forced him to win anyway

Tbf, it wouldn't have been wasted if he just swapped the Panda buff for the T-Rex/Lynx. Then he would've had 2 50/50, and the Bison at 30/30+
