42:09 the decision to go for base instead of getting pulled into sacred site fight was a pure art of war skill beasty rocks again

[theodoreroosevelt]

"Beasty is the only one with deep fish ffs he'll win again" i thought

goddamn beasty.... He can't keep getting away with this!

[andreinicodim]

NONE of you guys see that beasty decapped the bottom sacred site at 44:28 . THAT is the reason SAS surrendered, cause he could not push into beasty base with what he had left, not because beasty was in SAS base.

great game, enjoyed the last battle between delhi and ayyubid, that was a crazy battle to witness.

[smbintegrated]

Casting aoe4 on my tv at high res is unmatched. The most beautiful game by a long shot!

[LordFarticus]

Excellent game. Can't believe that showdown at the end.

[bocaj]

Great Game!... I believe it was a king kill at the end not a tap out just FYI

@Aussie_Drongo
A king should go down with their ship, not abandon the town. I think for FFA, starting when the first TC is built, TCs, towers, and keeps should have their furthest attack range aura work like a king checker as well. Meaning if a king isn't inside the aura of a nearby defensive structure, it'll take damage over time like Malian poison or something.

Also, if a player is mid or late game and getting their base sieged, and they knowingly evacuate the king to avoid hostile units, the king shouldn't make a run for the wilderness unless there's a legitimate proxy base or defensive hold to run to.
Similarly, in the situation at 23:06 if the player is knowingly exposing their king in a tournament where king kills matter (even in a situation where 3 armies are in your base), they should be aware enough to at least run the king in the direction away from all enemies, which would've been east/north-east at 23:06 . For that example, Beasty and SAS both had units chasing with the speed of cavalry, so they don't have a skill issue when chasing the king. However, Liems flagrantly donated the king to Vu by slowing down, then obviously running directly into greens army. It may have been a micro mistake at the time. But even so, they're playing in a tourney and made the dangerous move to manually move their king, so they should be responsible if their king acts unusually and runs directly towards enemy spears.

Thank you if you take the time to read this, I think these conditions are a fair solution.

Beasty is the ultimate Tightrope walker, precariously pushing the envelope of victory to within seconds of disaster !

[chefswole]

Dude, thank you for posting these. Appreciate you

[SultanBarbossa]

A Beasty win with Delhi in FFA?! Christmas came early

The only other better thing would be an outback octagon 3 announcement 👀

[adamloudon]

Problem with king donations isn't that you don't get a king you think you deserve. The problem is that if you intentionally give your king to a specific player, you are teaming by definition. And not teaming to win, literally teaming to boost another player. Which is never allowed. King donations (if it's obviously intentional) should be treated the same as teaming.

[AkshayPrasadrocks]

I think for FFA, less rules is better. Running with the king is fun, even on a transport ship, and leads to more unique situations

[blewb]

I love watching this after watching Beasty's POV where he was casting the fight between SAS and green using his scouts to watch the battle. I can see the little yellow spots running around greens base so he can watch the fight while he booms

[Honeypotted]

what a game!
green sniped 3 kings but did not have the chance for late game
and beasty late game just sniped land marks and won
i love ffa mega random

[nanananananana]

I dont get why transport ships shouldn't be allowed to keep the king, there were SO many interesting things that happened with transport ship kings in OO2

[donkey]

the apm at the end from beasty... you could see how overwhelmed sas was in comparison

[jelkk]

SAS made some good moves especially recognising that he needed to hit Vu early rather then mesing around trying to get Beasty on board to team up (which would have given Vu the chance to hit 300+ pop)

[TamuSmann]

An Aussie FFA! Dreams do come true. Thanks Drongo!

[kalindhunavanjana]

uuurm, it's not a tap out right? Sas's king gets sniped under the chaos. (Dude even neutralized the SS during all of that). An absolute legend.

What an end. What a casted game.
