Very impressive once again, tho I felt maia let pureburn siege him by not killing his urukxbowcombo's with highly ranked knights.
Too bad these pro games in this mu don't get big battles anymore, Because I like to watch mass carnage in a match. Still wubbed tho because of skill
Pure, I suggest you might want to contain him and getting 5 wargs. and 2 Siegework spam behind the containment, if you can delay elves long enough he won't be able to break thru and no urukxbowcombo's vs players like maia who get such high ranked knights but urukpikecombo's. Maybe even get some uruk behind every containment line to either combine with a pike or just to kill a soldier TG combo.
Maia what's up with this rax start does it work at times vs good players? Because it seems that if isen is smart and sends a laborer to scout you'll get the game you like , facing a strong isengard.

rax start is really something i do vs any isen cos i think that the initial double soldier rush is very easily countered and if u don't apply anymore pressure they can quickly kill ur farms and creep. the fast hobbit on his side or the extra soldier can sometimes delay their attack on ur farms. it also delays their creeping and no matter what, will hurt their eco. sometimes i get both mills down with this start but in this rep i got 1 mill + a lot of workers at the top which kinda disabled that mill for a bit.
the good thing is there are a few different pathways u can do with rax start which can be quite useful at times.

Yeh. maybey i should have got more pikes FU and wargs FU before i went to seige but he didnt have nothing in his base when i started my combos so i guess i was gonna try a quick seige. Usually works mind,
but containment early game is too risky imo, I dont think i'd be able to pull it off against maia, thought it has served me well in the past
this game is just a beast, had like 3x aod and 3x balrog and shit load of action..it was like i was playing sjosty
worth a watch, no review needed unless pure wants one
well played pure!
