$100 Best of 9 Smackdown Showmatch | Tabben vs Mitoe
Tabben vs Mitoe Bo9 Smackdown!
H2O_ & Interjection Commentary
Sunday 30th at 17:00 GMT - hosted on EscapeAoE!
This weekend, I’ll be joined by none other than H2O_! We’re taking him on a day trip out of his AoE3 retirement home to cast some great games between two awesome players. What’s more… we’ll also see Ryan at the New World Championship LAN, in just under 2 weeks - live in the flesh to cast the entire tournament.
This week though, off the back of his victory in the Two Towns Tournament, Tabben is back for more Smackdown Patch blood! If there were any doubts about his top 8 calibre, I think they’ve safely been put to bed after his recent performance. For this series though, Smackdown patch will be reverted back to ‘normal’. No second TCs this time.
[spoiler=Normal? ]In a sentence, Smackdown patch is standard EP with changes to the ‘dead content’ politicians that see absolutely no play.[/spoiler]
How jacked really is Tabben though? We’ll find out on Sunday… as his opponent will be the big Toe. Mitoe performs very well in best of 9s. He has an exceptionally wide civ pool which favours longer series. Tabben will have his work cut out, that’s for sure. Mitoe is a serious opponent and this will be a great series to watch no doubt.
Map Pool:
1) UIx Wadmalaw
2) Uix Arkansas
3) Uix Bonnie Springs
4) Uix Parallel Rivers
5) Uix Colorado
6) Uix Manchuria
7) Uix Mendocino
8) Uix Adirondacks
9) Uix Bengal

This sounds great, really. However, I hope it's the last time two top8 players face each other before the LAN tournament.

I agree. Although it's great to see two top players face off, it does feel a bit anticlimactic with the LAN coming up.

Agreed. Wouldn't like to see games among top 8 before LAN. It can kind of reveal the strength measures between them and eat the elements of upsets.
Also, do you really want to show textbook examples of your best civs and strats?

Not like we don't know the "strength" already... And top 8 players meet each other in wekeend tours as well anyway. It doesn't matter.

As top 8 players we do because we often play against each other, but the community doesn't really know the current strength of each player.
Weekend tours before the LAN was also awkward.

Weekend tours before the lan are fine, they have quirks to them so strats that correspond to the player's performance in the LAN shouldn't really be effected.

I would love for some revenge
Re: $100 Best of 9 Smackdown Showmatch | Tabben vs Mitoe
The point of smack down is creativity and entertainment,imo. Normal smack down patch is gonna lead to same skirm-goon semi-ff sort of play, kinda boring. Also Aiz is still unbeaten iirc so it should be Aiz vs Somppu on Factory wagon patch or another if you have something different or some other player.

Don't worry about that when I'm playing.

Re: $100 Best of 9 Smackdown Showmatch | Tabben vs Mitoe
Can someone tell me why Mitoe is depicted in 360p and tabben in 720p
Fine line to something great is a strange change.

It’s a depiction of how long we’ve played the game. Tabben’s newer to the “scene” than I am, and therefore gets the more modern tech. Meanwhile I’m an old man and have been around for a long time now, kind of like those old YouTube videos you rewatch for nostalgia and marvel at how great they are despite the 360p.

So in other words modern tech tabben is going to thrash old tech mitoe out of park. Can we replace someone else in place of mitoe for lan... already?

Don't underestimate old man strength!
Re: $100 Best of 9 Smackdown Showmatch | Tabben vs Mitoe
They’re actually just setting it up so there’s a possibility of having my Smackdown rerererererererererererematch with Mitoe.

@aqwer Smackdown alternates between a weird format and normal supremacy each week as both are popular

Can we also do @dicktator_ vs @Lukas_L99 I think their match at high level competitive sup is still missing.
