Thorin + Dunedain - Gondor + Rohan
++- Gimli + Lego usage (10/10)
- Once the elves came on to the playground they were unstoppable force.
- Catching so much nazghuls.
- Great cooperation in the fight infront of Rohan gate -> baited by Gimli and completely destroyed by Gandalf after that putting yellow Rohan to zero.
+- Overall good map presence from Gondor despite the odds.
- Fast Gandy.
- I like how both Gondor and Rohan kept composure even though they were obviously winning. Kept making important buildings and units, keeping safe, leaving no holes R+M might use to suprise. Textbook stuff.
-- Willingly ACing soldiers...
- Those Rohhirim summons were mostly free PP for Mordor - put Gandy with them so they can do some job before dying.
- Kinda unlucky losing the bottom mirror but could be handled better.
- -- None
Verdict: After losing early game understandably against R+M you bounced back with correct strategy and good cooperation. Ever since mid game you both look pretty much flawless but on the other hand you werent really tested and forced to any mistake.
Thorin + Dunedain = 9/10 Felixanius + Fishy - Rohan + Mordor
++- Very nice early game. Also nice middle game from Rohan.
+- saving WK with heal.
- winning bottom side mirror even though only one outside farm.
-- Stealing warg lair with horses from Theo + Eo.
- Sloppy map awareness by Mordor. Many iddle units. I know its big map and lot of things to do for Mordor in early + mid game but still...
- Cashfloating up to 3k before buying armory (Rohan).
- Messing around on the bottom vs Gimli+Lego.
- Completely losing bottom side farms in late game, probably Rohan should take bottom outpost and use it as an anchor.
--- Not taking Industry straight away.
- Making muma pen right after WK but then capping CP with orcs so you can even make them and have to cashfloat up till nazghul. Big fucking fail.
- Muma usage straight out of "noob/med" room.
- Not taking elves? Hello? They could do so much damage and put G+R in jail early.
- Making mummas was big fail overall. Didnt come in time because noob mistake and when they came it was too late for them. Should have went straight for trolls + cattas.
- Losing so much nazghuls and WK should be a crime.
- NO PLAN. CAP
Verdict: After dominant start into the game it all went south pretty fast. Nooblike mistakes, no plan, barely any cooperation. The throw factor of this team is off the charts.
Fishy + Felixanius = 2/10 MVP - obviously must be someone from G+R team. Hard to decide who because yes Rohan bounced back with great hero micro but on the hand it was his own mistakes that put him on backfoot. On the other hand Gondor after mediocre start did almost all very well (albeit against this Mordor everyone looks like expert). I am chosing Thorin because he had probably same impact as Dunedain but got more action.
MVP: ThorinGame verdict:
This is a game of 2 sides. If you spectate only G+R you can learn enough about hero micro and decisions making and the game looks fine. On the other hand if you spectate only R+M you will watch a comedy of errors which will make you feel like those 2 left alone on the map will lose by themselves, doesnt even need opponent. Combine these 2 sides and the result is big f*cking MEH. Tons of more entertaining games to look at unless you looking for G+R inspiration.
Have fun <3
