brit and fr are definitly not counters to russia wtf. russia wins both of this MU Imo.
ger probably wins but it's playable for russia.
with otto on the other side, if you are using the right plan, you can't really lose vs russia

Is Dutch vs Jap that bad?

FB with 8 pike and skirm pressure plus sieging shrines seems pretty good. Sure, if he goes like Nagi all in, that can be bad, but Dutch can scout that, adapt and be fine VS low eco Japan.

As Japan its kind of hard to defend shrines early on vs age2 skirms. Yumis don't actually win without ups or daimyo and leaving base vs huss can be risky.

Obviously Dutch will have a horrible time if they just bot boom in base into ruyter/skirm vs kami/port cons, because then Jap will have better eco and better units, but that shouldn't happen.

In that recent tournament game Hazza won, but it would've been less one sided if the defense and timing (MM plus huss etc) had been better. Also, Hazza is prolly a better player.

Dutch can even go for a heavy ruyter/falc push in mid fortress. Dutch have a fairly hard time VS mass cannons, even with yabusame (which require time).

It's sort of bad for Dutch but there is worse.
It's hard to find a really crap MU on EP on any map.

I don't think the goal was to find something unplayble on any map, cuz then you can always at least have a chance either on no TP, water, 5 TP or standard I guess.
I understood the thread as talking about standard map only (either if we can pick a specific map, otto vs jap on thar desert is the most one sidded I can think of).

I think this mu is so easy to aztec.I always do 3v 700w 600g 10 9 with double warhut puma spam. They dont have mm to kill pumas, so u can siege everything very fast and u will have a lot of xp to keep spamming with crates and vills shipment.

As azzy I think brit, spain and france are the worst mu

ye, it should counter, but isn't easy for sioux cause 20 pumas siege very fast the teepees and after 20 pumas and 19 mace timing aztec can train some coyo with 700f or 5v

There seems to be a lot of hate towards the creators nowadays. Stanley being attacked, Garja banned from tourneys for rightfully dropping cocky mortals

Its only cause most of the people make 5 banks they can't defend instead of max 3 and actually hold the push....
True, I beat piro in this MU recently with 3 banks and not losing one.

I probably would've lost it on EP tho.
