. The summons are huge for sure - combined with spamming fu knights and soldiers/tg's i fought for map all game and also base raided with some good success. There aren't many people that could have help up under that much pressure. Was one of my better Gon v Isen performances, defo worth the watch imo.

Overview:
This was an interesting enough game to watch, Poose went with fast soldiers/upgrades and an FU knight spam, at times having 5 FU knights on field at once. Sage went for a cstandard containment strategy. For a long while, Pooses good use of summons, nice micro, and some OP rushes kept Sage on the ropes, but in the end, Sage persisted and his constant hold on MC was victorious.
Gondor
This was a pretty decent game from you, your early and mid-game was pretty solid, and you did well to drive off his containment here and there, and you also had some fantastic success in rushing, which put him on the ropes a little. But in the end, a fully upgraded and well-microed Isengard is too much for a Gondor army without Gandalf, as much as you had success without Gandalf, alot of times you lost some fights that you might have won with Gandalf on the field. For one improvement, I feel like you were a little slim on using the EW you had on the field, alot of times you would fight forces greater than your own, and not even move to the EW for protection. Also, if he attacks your elves summons head on with pikes, switch to swords, they are more effective than arrows in hand-to-hand fighting. After awhile, your micro started to give a little bit, and your ran over some pikes, sometimes with 3-4 bats of Knights at once. This floats him huge PP, and forces you to run back to your well, giving him time, and space to set up containment. Also, when you summon eagles, I would suggest you hit his combos first, try aiming for the Xbows in back of the combo, even taking out 1/2 or 2/3 of them will give you eagles time to thrash his ballistas and heroes without taking so much damage. Overall, it was a very good effort, but once he has FU wargs all over, I really think Gandalf is the only answer, as you had little success with the slow TG's.
Isen
This was a pretty solid performance from you. He gave you quite a bit of trouble, but in the end, you persisted, got upgrades out, and drove him back into his base. One thing I saw alot of was you failing to put your pikes in formation when he ran them over with knights, you could have stolen alot of PP from him earlier if you had put your pikes in formation in time, and I know command lag probably played into this. Your base was pretty wide open for his 1st rush, you were doing well to get pikes all over the field, to creep and guard mills, but always remember to have a few pikes back to guard your base, his rushes really hurt you. Another thing, is after his 1st rush, you left your base almost empty of towers, and when he rushed, you let your towers fire on his FU knights, while letting his elves run free and drive your pikes away. Keep plenty of towers up in your base, and use them to hit his elves, once he loses a few elves, your pikes can advance and halt his knights. Other than that, not many issues with your play, you played the map control holding down to a science by the end of the game. Good effort.
