Let's use this thread to show the biggest throws in aoe3 history (because we all love to see people throwing games).
Post the throw here, and I'll add it here.

Rules :
1) Only one throw per player
2) It has to be a tournament game

I/ Mitoe vs aizamk : TWC tourney game 1

Probably the most impressive throw of all time. Mitoe managed to lose with twice his opponent's army, and almost 140% of his opponent's score. How? Well, he kept sieging aizamk's TC instead of fighting so he lost half of his army. Somehow, he was still ahead after this but lost another fight.

II/ iamturk vs Tit : New World championship game 2

Sepoy/mahout/urumi is good, that's what this game teaches us !
After a great start, turk got a 50 point lead. However, he lost all his army against sepoy/urumis several times, sometimes having twice as many units as his opponent, and eventually lost the game !

III/ Lordraphael vs boneng : ESOC Winter tourney game 1

India strikes again ! Lordraphael heavily underrated the power of age 4 urumis, and wasted all his army against boneng's infamous India FI

I've thrown large percentage of my 1v1s on EP by being horrible at microing. Micro is important, guys.

Neither of these games was decided by micro actually.

Take a bad fight and the game turns around.

That game was lost, and despite what everyone says about that game I think I was in a losing position for sure as long as he denied my last mine, which he was about to do with his remaining army. But I definitely shouldn't have resigned when I did. That's the type of game I've learned to play out to the very end since then.

Yeah it was a premature resign but not really a "throw" since the game was quite close

Me in tr20 tourney vs pr 50.
Dutch mirror - knew he was going skirm + culv
so I massed cav AND managed to hide them from him - he didn’t scout me that much - I was pr20...
Treaty ends he attack’s me and is scared shitless when he sees my cav mass - but he manages to kill em all!! Why? Well as he put it after gg “Great strategy, very well executed - shitty micro”.
Boy was he right. When I surprised him with my cav, my heart was pounding so hard and I was shaking and I was thinking “omg I’m gonna win! I’m gonna beat a PR50!!!”. That didn’t exactly help my already poor micro skills...

Tbh you don't need much micro to z move cav on his stuff. And regardless of that, no offense but if he's really pr50, he should crush you easily, even after losing his start army. But since there's no pr50 in treaty, I wonder, what was his name ?

Oh and this was back in 2007 I believe, in TWC - so you can’t really look at ladders from today :)

The real question should be: Why would a PR 50 play a PR 20?

Because it was a TWC tourney
It was group stages and top 2 advanced.
_H2O was in the same group and he ended up losing in the final vs NightScr3aM.
So I played against him, and _H2O, a Major named Tigger05 and lost all three. The last guy in the group was a MS and I beat him.
So NS was the overall winner and _H2O second. I think WhiteIrishKing finished 3rd
