Review by: Thorin^

Starting positions:
Goblins/|MaS|Punisher - West
Goblins/EaE|Biakuya - East

Overview:

This was a pretty decent game, with constant action and showing that a pure Goblin spam isn't the best way to go in a Goblin Mirror. Punisher showed that going for Half Trolls is the best way as Half Trolls are quite strong and can easily hold their own vs the weak Goblin infantry. This advantage made Punisher win a lot of battles and his harassment was a lot more effective as Half Trolls are much better at destruction than Goblins. But Biakuya didn't give up easily and he harassed him back also quite effectively. However, a few Azog assaults on Biakuya's Fortress got it destroyed and the game was pretty much over. It ended in Punisher using the Watcher to destroy his last buildings together with some Wildmen. Overall, a decent game.


Goblins/|MaS|Punisher

Well played by you, it was quite unexpected that you went for Half Trolls and how good they actually are vs a Goblin spam, showing that the more pits, the better isn't correct. You went for a 2 pit spam at first, followed by Half Trolls and then a 4 pit spam, this made you have as much Goblins as your opponent while having some extra Half Trolls mixed in your army. You didn't make a lot of mistakes and harassed him well. The only few mistakes that you did make were that you didn't really clump a lot. If you do, the building goes down much faster and your attacks will be far more effective. Also vs Goblins, put Azog or any other hero in defensive, their attack is high enough for them to one-hit kill them in any stance, so the more armor, the better. Last, but certainly not least, you left your builder quite a few times next to the building it just built. Always send them to a safe place, otherwise they'll get killed like what happened to one of your builders when some Goblins ran into it.
    Tips for improvement
  • Clump more, it's important that all units are able to attack the building.
  • Put Azog in defensive vs Goblins, they are weak enough for him to one-hit them in any stance.
  • Don't leave your builder next to the just built buildings, it'll only get killed.

Goblins/EaE|Biakuya

Not bad from you, although your opponent showed the better strategy in this matchup, which was the major factor why you were defeated eventually. You started with a 4 pit spam, spamming as much Goblins as possible, which unfortunately wasn't enough as his Half Trolls + Goblins were very powerful. Also a problem you had, was your expansion. You didn't expand very well, while he did, giving him the better economy and thus it allowed him to get more and better units than you. Use forward Tunnels as well on both sides for maximum pressure on your opponent. Build your RB's at 97%, they don't take as much space as 100% and they will still produce maximum resources. Also, put your Goblins in aggressive when facing other Goblins, they are weak enough and aggressive Goblins beat defensive Goblins.
    Tips for improvement
  • Put Goblins in aggressive stance vs other Goblins.
  • Use Forward Tunnels on both sides for maximum pressure.
  • Expand more, the better your economy, the faster you can get strong units.
  • Don't build too many caves early on, try to mix your units.
  • Build RB's at 97%, this way they will still produce max resource while not taking up as much space as 100%.

Overall Rating: 5
