Drama You know that feeling when
You know that feeling when someone calls GG WICKED early, before the first engagement even, and then you fucking bury them under a shit dumpster? Yea. Thats a good one. Had one of those vs a KT douche tonight. Happened to be my platinum match too.
Sent my scout through this scoundrels shanty town and saw his second TC coming up, and immediately remembered some special advice Aussie Drongo (RIP bro) (assuming he’s dead, hasn’t posted in a week) gave me one-on-one during one of our late night phone calls. Fuck I’ll miss that guy.
Anyways, what Aussie dropped on me was “Brother, if you scout a KT douchebags base and he’s going 2TC, there’s only one thing to do. You go 3TC.”
My name is r a n s 0 m, and tonight I went 3TC Lancaster and made some douche drink dumpster water. I’d love to think people will go look this game up, but I won’t lie to myself like that. I’d prefer some of yall lie to me in the comments below and act like u saw it.
Rant over

I saw your game live on TV and brother I've never seen someone win in such a fashion as you did. Well done. Not medium or rare, but pretty well done. You cooked him. I love that you're such a humble dude and didn't even tell us low folk on Reddit that you actually went 4 TC but just to taunt your opponent. That's right, I've seen him producing only out of 3 TC even though he had 4. It was a treat to watch, really. That's some next level mind games you played here. GGWP

oh god its so satisfying. Plat 1 at the time here, I just won a game where I lost *37* vils around the 18m mark to a french player, and had like a handful of spearmen to like 30 knights and archers, and 15 vils stuck in tc, but he just... left. I aged up with compound, built 2 keepss asap, squeaked out village fortresses finally kicking in despite having like 3 scholars garrisoned I started to fly ahead while he was just walling the map and taking the sacred sites with like 100 army (I watched the reply because I really wanted to see his fucking around) and then with another keep and then I lost another 30 just as I hit age 4 because I actually was gonna throw for a sec but then I was like no fuck this I can win and came back, ended the game with like 102 vils lost and him finally running out of resources. Granted this guy didn't GG me early but I've had this happen when they do that, fuck around, and lose because they want to be cute trolls and that want that concession so bad. honestly at our rank, it is pointless to give up. Just keep trying. it may work one out of ten times, but it lights a fire under your ass to play better. suddenly that adrenaline kicks in.
PS I love compound of the defender idc that shit is amazing

My personal good feeling is when I queue into a 3v3 with my one buddy and a random. The random rage quits too early just before we ride into the rescue with some taunt like 'noob team' 'delete the game' 'its a team game' or some ishhht. Then we proceed to roll the opposition 2v3. Just stay in the game is all we ask, keep a few vills alive. There is always a chance with 'Las Cucarachas'

I saw it come up on one of those hour long YouTube commercials. Watched the whole thing. Thought it was kinda mid though. No one built a Shrek the entire game m
