Starting positions: Gondor/Arjen_Robben - East Gondor/Citrus_Soul - West
Overview:
The match started with both players getting their greedy hands on every spot they could get. After that a creep killing spree. Then horses, horses running marathon all around the map until every strain of grass was beaten to the ground. Players then decided on different strats with Citrus_Soul going fast Gandalf and Arjen_Robben with fast upgrades. As in all Gondor matches between good players everything comes down to Gandalf micro and survivability.
Gondor/Arjen_Robben
Not much to tell here. You had the slight advantage of host but didn't capitalize on it. I would also recommend to be slightly more conservative in your abusing of Gandalf. If he's on red health, it's a good indication that running is in order. If his health bar is invisible then don't try to blast horses. Just run. You recklessly lost Gandalf first time. Overall, good strategy, no complaints.
Gondor/Citrus_Soul
You should pay attention on your other heroes as well. You lost pippin on a goblin lair. As far as I know, hobbits own goblins. He probably had a hangover of something. Faramir was in mid-game more dead that alive. I generaly liked Arjens start better of fast ups. You quickly lost mc so his gandalf despite upgrades showed up pretty soon after yours. In the end, you have used your Gandalf more wisely than him and that was enough.
Highlight of the match: Horses getting owned by soldiers and pippin. You don't see that every day.

I think Sammy had the better strat in early/mid game. Ups before Gandy will always be better than Gandy before Ups. He got all map control. But Soul did nice making a 4th knight later which gave him back some MC. Sammy's Gandy's first death was really unnecessery. Later I thought "omg Soul, you noob, why to you istari his Gandalf when Sammy is stupid enough to put his knights in line formation" but then I saw your Fara That was really pro, Soul A big thanks to Sammy for having stopped camping
by the way i would love to meet u in qm soon hopefully we do
