[hleung]

Confirmed

Thanks

[pecelot]

you can take me out tourney, give free win to whoever I'm playing. Done with the game, sorry to the toruny admins and my opponent.

hmm... what exactly had happened, if you don't mind telling us?

uh I don't exactly like the community & how things are done. For the lack of better words I spend more time getting flamed/flaming then I do actually enjoying my time playing the game.

That's indeed saddening, thanks for letting us know at least, wishing you all the best in the future and hoping for a come back!

hey man ye its confirmed some major clash incoming

[pecelot]

Great, we have already arranged casters for Monday — our beloved dynamic duo that presented itself very well earlier on, Kaiserklein and Queen!

Hi, agrondergermane and I have agreed on 19GMT saturday.

Hey, please upload the recorded games here, I already updated Challonge brackets

[britishmusketeer]

The recs from my games against agrondergermane. g1: I didn't have any hotkeys mapped (not even attack move) and almost lost (he was ahead in score at one point as french age 3) but I somehow scraped a win. g2: Also had no hotkeys and almost lost that game as well (if he had 3 huss arrive on my 8 xbow I would have lost). g3: There was a few minute break before this game so I was able to map most hotkeys this time. Apparently he was a nilla player so didn't know how to play against japs. When I saw no fb I knew I could go full greed. ggs.

[Kaiserklein]

Agron you had games 1 and 2 if you hadn't mismicroed (first game you didn't hit and run with your skirm/goon, second game you didn't send huss on the xbows + was shooting at cdbs with jans), was a bit sad. But ggs anyway, some close games, you played better than your rank

The BO5 series bwinner vs Mongobillione should start in 10 min, make sure to tune in twitch.tv/queen1988 for an insane casting !

[sebnan12]

i thought its mod job but anyways there they are.
first game was aztec vs fre
sec game was brit vs port
third game was spain mirror
fourth was brit mirror
and last but not least was a port vs russ
[spoiler=spoiler]i think first game brit mirror and spain are worth a watch[/spoiler]

[pecelot]

Hm, how do you think we should get them? And in any other tournaments it's players' duty to submit the recs, too. Thanks, nevertheless!

[JakeyBoyTH]

It's the players duty to submit the recs @sebnan12 as in the rules.
Thank you for uploading.

[bwinner]

gg wp ! Quite good serie to watch, thx to queen and kaiser for casting !
My only real regrest r one game 1 were I could have done a lot better. For the other you win, your was just better (I may have been a bit unlucky game 5, but lucky game 2, so that's fair).
Gl for the following !

[sebnan12]

read the middle @pecelot @jakeboy
the taggibg doesnt seem to work on cellphone.. it says tournament admins aight?

[hleung]

@sebnan12 Only if you have sent the tournament admins the replays, or that at least one of the tournament admins is in the match with you.

[JakeyBoyTH]

Hleung is right. Posting on this thread is also a means to get recordings to use, however if you do send us the recs they will be uploaded here.
By submit the recs it is to DIplomunion Age Of Empires, which means this thread, the admins or the discord. By player it is any connected identity in the match i.e. a caster, admin or player.

Apologies for the confusion and misinformation from me.

As almalek didn't want to play — to say the least — vs @EAGLEMUT in RO16, the latter advanced forward and played with me in RO8 (brackets: http://challonge.com/diploaoe3tournament2016 — watch out for spoilers!).

Game 1: Brits (me) vs Russia (Eagle) on Kamchatka.

[spoiler=winner]won by Eagle
he caught me off guard too many times with early hard pressure, after which he easily aged and beat me with no problem; I shouldn't have sent 600 wood as my second card in Colonial![/spoiler]

Game 2: Ports vs Dutch on Arizona

[spoiler=winner]won by me
typical ATP agenda a bit interrupted by Eagle's 8 pike shipment early on, after that it's just Ports things EleGiggle[/spoiler]

Game 3: French vs India on Mendocino
[spoiler=winner]won by me
standard India stuff for Eagle with rajputs, I got caught twice and lost many troops, though it wasn't enough to stop me, as he took some losses, too
disclaimer: Trade Monopoly™[/spoiler]

Game 4: Brits vs India on Hudson Bay
[spoiler=winner]won by Eagle
Eagle nearly punished me for being too greedy early on, but I managed to defend myself; nevertheless, he boomed on land and then made a timing push, which I couldn't hold despite having a large economy[/spoiler]

Game 5: Ports vs Ports on Arkansas
[spoiler=winner]won by me
having expected aggressive 2 rax opening, as usual, I started out carefully, aged up sooner and abused my early advantages[/spoiler]

GGs, well played!

Series casted by @Kaiserklein and @QueenOfdestiny , thanks a lot again!
