That horse micro was insane! Almost no mistakes! Didn't lose any horses in early and mid, 4 high ranked horses in mid game?! Great Gandalf use and very nice last fight, great use of land and eagles, respect!
Shit early game though, although taking heal made it possible to get elvs and gtw intime. Not killing Saru there with elvs killed my soul though.
Isen did well too, nice map control and use of wargs.
Was interested how J2 would use his aod...

Micro wise, this is one of the best games I've seen, Isen played flawless to start the game with perfect creeping.
Gondor middle to late game was sensational with excellent horse micro vrs pikes and wargs. I would be inclined to suggest that if Isen did try a containment strat with more pikes and had positioned combos and lurtz at the outpost for a quicker siege, then Gondor would of possibly found it more difficult to micro around the map and ultimately come back to win the game.
Isen should of finished gondor long before he even got gtw after that start, looked alot as if he quit trying as hard after mid game and let gondor bk into the game.

Nevertheless gg wp.
That is the nature of the game, not focusing on alterations in the players effort measures, (ie) Isen thinking he had won the game, Gondor's effort was higher at middle game therefore and he won for having the better effort level over all.
Clever how you pick up on that but it is not the case, no game is over till the fat lady sings and as all players would know, in a game if you lose effort your more vulnerable.
In defence this was a sensational Gondor micro that Isen could not of foreseen, and it was dam good enough to the win game.
