Bots. Still awesome. I love REDACTED's "Oh ****!" moment at 15:58.

Typical Zyphod build:

Oh God, my mass is screwed
*places new factory*
God, my economy is in the shitter
*queues a laser tower*

Personal favourite moment? 16:54, economy in the toilet, you ask what you should do while standing next to a field of empty mass spaces. Then you place a factory.

That ending was frustrating as hell to watch

I setup a massive build order of metal extractors.
After 2 minutes, Checked my economy. My metal looked really bad (30%). But my energy was really good. I was pretty impressed with that, normally my metal is 70% by that stage of the game. But it was 140% odd..

So anyway, I wondered what was going on. Checked the progress of my mex builders.

Who had built a powergen on each metal spot.

its impossible to build powergens on metalspots.

Actually you can build anything on metal spots.

#108 Pengul vs Clopse

Yeah.

That's a negative.

That is an accurate Bot to Ant ratio in terms of metal, but in terms of build time, they are both created at exactly the same rate (unassisted). So, if you have the Eco to support it, and the enemy isn't too far away, I go for Ants every time. However, Bots are definitely the better choice for raiding. Also, with the new patch, turrets should be more effective against Bots, so that might affect the Bot raiding strategies a bit. We'll see...

omg, didnt expect, u publishing this one.
thx feels good

For the love of sentient robot soldiers please don't use your comm like this again

#109 POV Round 1 2v2 Open Tourny #2

Damn it! I didn't realise the engineers starting on multiple projects in the same build was a bug... I find it insanely helpful at times. (when you've got multiple engineers invested in the project they don't get stuck on each other)

#110 Q-Final 2v2 Open Tourny #2

Zaphod, watching you scout is so frustrating. Your plane is flying over the enemy expansion while you talk about how you don't know where they are. I mean, I understand completely how it is when you're playing versus watching, but that doesn't mean I'm not shouting at the monitor anyway

I agree the strategic view thing is annoying though. I thought they said they'd fixed that.

This is an old patch, I wanted to upload all games in one go.

Great game, definitely check it out!

#111 POV SemiFinal 2v2 Open Tourny #2

I hope people will watch that game and actually consider building AA and air. It's absurd how much it's neglected.

What's absurd is since that video the t2 bombers now drop 2-5 bombs per run ^.^

What happened to all the mods, Zaphod? Or does the tourney have a no mods rule?

This tournament started ages ago and I slowly collected the videos to upload all in one go. Back then I didn't have mods or use hotkeys.
