Orange really defined this game by leading the charge against black, kudos to him! I don't think you could have played better this game, Pete. Awesome work.
Dude i was screaming that turn for pete to be the one to do it with a 2 turn set up then Orange came in with that Black Airforce Energy and i lost my shit
@@jasonmaccollum7158 you don't play competitive games to give everyone equal chances of winning, you do what gives you the highest chance of winning. Clearly in this case it worked out even if that might seem results-oriented-- he explained his thought process pretty well though.
I was so excited to see Green being punished like that. The guy was handing the game over to Black! And nice to see that you and Red were the last ones standing. Orange also did his part. Kudos to all three of you! 👏🏻
It seemed like everyone hated the blatant green black teaming. So once green was dead everyone only cared about black he was really strong but did nothing with that advantage and then everyone slowly killed him. Even your bounties didn’t piss anyone off more than black and green
This is quite possibly the best game of Risk I have seen out of all of your videos other than your world championship. This was beautiful, the patience and the understanding of the flow of the game. Orange's rally against Black's tyranny... All of it just came down to the wire in such a beautiful way!
Wow that was an incredible comeback I was NOT at all expecting! Genuinely entertaining video my friend, and your commentary is as fascinating as ever! Cheers!
This was an incredible fixed game to watch. It's very interesting to see a full-on bad-neighbor game of this scale with opponents who seemed to understand the shifting dynamics of power as well as the theory of destructive cooperation within bad-neighbor (other than the green player who just seemed bent on being a bad neighbor without a path to winning). I know fixed games and cooperative strategy aren't your preference (you prefer the unilateral wait and pounce gameplay often found in progressive cards), and so I applaud your restraint and level-headed gameplay in this match. It is honestly the psychology and diplomacy (both constructive and destructive) that I find most intriguing about fixed cards.
this was such a great game ! your patience is incredible, i would've snapped at green so badly. its currently 2am and i wake up at 5, but i just couldn't stop watching GG
I will chime in too as this video was a blast. What a comeback. By the way, UA-cam recommended you winter tournament video that is taking off and I’m so glad I gave it a shot. Your commentary, personality, and gameplay are a lot of fun to watch.
Great win Pete! Personally I think that green needs to be punished for their actions, I understand the occasional suicide in ranked because somebody is mad, but to sign all the way up for tournament and then proceed to try and ruin somebody’s game knowing that he wasn’t going to win either is despicable, I don’t know if there’s a tournament backlist but you have to assume that even if it wasn’t you, green would be ruining the game for somebody else, I would love to hear your thoughts on that, great game!
So Devil’s advocate would say for most of the game he was protected by black. Maybe he thought that since black was strong and defending him, black would attack people. Then he attacked him when he realized later on. I don’t believe this way but you must consider both sides
I think an important skill for free for all play is empathy. You saw me at multiple points genuinely confused why green was making the decisions they were making because it seemed to hurt me, hurt themselves and benefit black. I didn't however take it like he was trying to ruin my game. Because he could have just slammed his stacks into me, so he was still attempting to play to win from his seat. Last season's final had a player not play to win and ruin cowboys game. That type of stuff is closer to what I want to see removed from the game: alt accounts in tournament were banned this season. But as far as anything green did being worthy of punishment I have to completely disagree. I honestly think they played their best game. Just because I was on the recieving end of it doesnt mean their moves aren't justified. They had as much right to win this game as I did.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy you're super genuine guy. I really appreciate your analysis on the perspective of the other player; furthermore how you did not allow their play to affect your play. Ultimately showing why you are considered a top player of the game. You can not allow someone else to play your game for you.
Black is such a good example of the importance of DOING SOMETHING with your massive lead. Eventually the board is going to turn on you if you just wrack up these troops but don't actually do anything to progress the game. Loved seeing you all with together to break him back.
There is no other satisfaction quite like when you killed Green in this game. That took insane patience. Really enjoying these videos, I actually bought Risk a while ago when playing a couple games with a friend and seeing this makes me glad & I wanna boot it up again. Amazing comeback, awesome video, I'm excited to watch the rest of the season :) Edit: Spelling
Dude! That was insaaaane! (..especially after the first 30-40 minutes!) Red deserved the 2nd place! Defo stoked Black got out 3rd, and you had your sweet revenge on green! Just finished the Winter FFA playlist... Now onto s2, as I am loving these!! #hooked!
This was a wonderful game! The 4 of you (including the catalyst Pink bot) heroically standing up to the powerful Black empire was a treat to watch. Glad when you realized if was your turn to break Black when you did, for it gained the valuable trust of Orange and Red. An important lesson I learned from observing Black's play: when you have the advantage don't relinquish it with indecisive moves.
This feels like the most realistic game of Risk ever. Everyone thinking White is a pushover because Green messed with them several times, only for White to come back with a vengeance and absolutely wrecked Green. To Orange understanding that there is no peace with Black and attempting to destroy Black no matter the cost. Fantastic.
Man I love your content. I'm a huge Risk fan and never realized there was such a large community for it. I love the energy and am glad to see how much your channel has grown since you've started!
So stumbled across u via the glory of the almighty yt algo gods. Might be because I’m a world of tanks blitz player and a strategist as a player type. Funny thing is that I used to be an avid risk boardgame fan and had a running count of 141 wins in a row against my old flatware who I’d mercilessly psych out of any confidence of any move… 😂😂😂 Eitherway… im really enjoying ur content and ur thought processes make perfect sense to me more and more as I’m understanding the various plays of the player base and the essence of the stratergies of the game. Glorious stuff… if u ever want to be show around the virtual battle field of WOT blitz… I’ll be a trusty guide ( clan lead of 4 solid clans and a name within the community) looking forward to more content and will be starting to have a spin here myself.
patience is key. we used to play risk tournaments and monopoly when I was stationed overseas with nothing to do in our off time but sleep or play board games. found your channel yesterday and been reliving those memories.
"If you guys think I did anything to show too much aggression" - putting that stack right on his border was pretty aggressive. I understand why you did, but perhaps keeping it a few territories away would have been better initially. Your stack would have been stronger and in a less threatening position. My two cents ;)
My first reaction was 😮 I still haven't seen all the maps the gamehas to offer, blows me away. Ohh the strategy. You haven't failed to teach me something, appreciated again!
I totally get the frustrations with people not playing to win, it’s even worse in person when someone proudly proclaims to be not playing to win. That must have been cathartic.
Just re-watching this video for some reason (I think it's because I remember how patient you were in the game after being harassed by green early on), and saw you mention 64 people watching, a huge number for you at that time. Fast forward about 4 months from then and you had a stream with 1.5k viewers. Your channel has blown up, in a good way! Pretty cool!
I knew you had it but well done on not being too confident about it and letting a bit of fear do its thing! Also love this map, very nice variation of the classical one!
Love the content! I’ve never seen risk gameplay online or thought of it before you got recommended on my UA-cam so 🍻 also got me to download and play games from my phone lol

This honestly looked like green and black collaborating, and just throwing in a couple of scuffles and green breaking black early early to give a different impression
Fixed games on massive maps take forever. But I sacrificed some sleep and watched to the bitter/sweet (for you) end! It was very good for you that the board united to take down black. And it all started with the death of green 😅
Hey I was live RIGHT there I loved it and I love you. I don't get what Green was doing. Even I know not to do whatever it is that green was doing, lol. Either way, probably because of you that I know how to play as I only have about 40 hours in the game xD (39 hours and 20 minutes to be exact) So thank you for teaching me senpai!
Managing to not just win, but also get most of the kills (including ones without game benefit) is quite the feat! I wonder: do you enjoy games with long timers or short ones more? Do you find your quickness in turn decisions a skill all the same as thinking, or do you think it detracts from the strategy orientation of Risk?
I prefer shorter active games. There is a debate in the community about whether the timer should be considered a strategic element for the game of Risk. Since the board game didn't have anything of the like. I come on the side of yes, but. I think the timer matters and playing to it is another skill gap to leverage, but I definitely think the speed playing field needs to be level if we are going to be playing games where the timer matters. Otherwise I can just steal undeserved wins by being faster. And if you think I'm quick at decisionmaking you should see some of the top 1v1 guys.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy a couple of timeouts (or time pauses), say 3 per game, would let the regular turns move quickly, and only those key turns take longer. But that would end up stopping some sniped bounties.
1:18:12 is that the slider point you and under the gun were talking about. Losing 18 troops to a 7 is heartbreaking. I never knew that was a thing. I started thinking this was true random for a sec
The opposite side of this is I've seen a large stack kill 14 troops and only lose 1. So it's weird on the both ways, but yeah the average is apparently worse if you don't do exactly the 100% roll
Really enjoying the content lately! Have you ever considered using a boom arm for your mic? Sometimes it seems like your keyboard typing comes in really hot in the audio mix, and I’m guessing it’s because it’s right next to your keyboard.
I studied at the University of Toronto and York university. I tend to enjoy materialist philosophy and I would describe myself as a structuralist socially. I prefer to solve problems by improving design and focus on the real world that exists as much as possible.
I've been having terrible luck in the ranked games, there is always some jackass that doesn't understand that I took his territory and moved my troops completely away from him just to get a card, then he comes in behind me and leaves my big army to get blitzed by the threat I've really been preparing for, it's super frustrating
See if you can figure out why it's happening? Are you breaking bonuses? Are you in someone's way to finish one of their own? Those are two usual reasons someone would slam your army.
The other reason could be: That other player is not expierienced enough to correctly "read" your intentions. I'm always surprised how Pete's enemies seem to speak the same "language". They communicate via moves. I guess, that will come eventually. But I also guess, some people just never think that far. Even as Grandmasters.
is there any indication on the screen that a player is being controlled by a bot? Fun watching you zip through your turns while everyone else is running out of time. Make me want to post some "Quick and the Dead" meme :D "Was that fast? That looked fast..."
@@TheKillPeteStrategy found that answer on Reddit too. A great tip to keep an eye on though! I still wish there was some little icon by the player avatars on the right or something.
If you were in black's position after the green kill, how would you have played in order to win the game? I know you can't give me a step by step, but a vague idea of how to close a game from that strong of a position.
He needed to start making kills. The thing that loses you the game at that point is the whole table which is still strong than you teaming up to bring you down, or bring you to equal. Black was almost double in strength to red who was second in troops at that point. If black was able to make a kill, he would take a bounty and occupy the space of another player which would generate him more resources in the future. Divide and conquer. Kill one opponent at a time.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Thanks for responding! I'll try to incorporate that into my game and be more proactive when I have a decent lead on second place.
I'm at the 50 minute part of this game. I really think green was cheating with black because after you reminded them no collabs in discord suddenly his attitude changed. Someone with 3,000 plus hours isn't going to just let someone get massive like that then decide "it's time to cut black down to size" Especially since you showed him you would be good neighbor and he kept breaking you for no reason. I understand him not wanting to piss everyone off. But it all comes down to his pivot AFTER you pointed out the possible collab. At 55 minute mark and it does appear greens goal was to help black grow very large then hide. You calling them out changed the plan and he just let himself die.
I mow lawns? 🤣🤣🤣 I dunno man. I speak my mind on UA-cam. Tbh I didn't get it to do anything with it. I just found it interesting. I've always ran my own businesses.
The Heroism of Orange to lead the charge and then the Bot to have the guts to break SA was just great writing
Orange really defined this game by leading the charge against black, kudos to him! I don't think you could have played better this game, Pete. Awesome work.
Dude i was screaming that turn for pete to be the one to do it with a 2 turn set up then Orange came in with that Black Airforce Energy and i lost my shit

I guess, that will come eventually. But I also guess, some people just never think that far. Even as Grandmasters.
If green keeps you weak he stops from becoming the fish
What a game, a quite bad start to a 1st with 4 bounties!
is there any indication on the screen that a player is being controlled by a bot?
Fun watching you zip through your turns while everyone else is running out of time. Make me want to post some "Quick and the Dead" meme :D "Was that fast? That looked fast..."
The territories a bot attacks light up whereas players have arrows that extend to the territory they're attacking.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy found that answer on Reddit too. A great tip to keep an eye on though! I still wish there was some little icon by the player avatars on the right or something.
Amazing game.
Those guys were definitely teaming 😅
a very rewarding game
This was an insane game Pete. Any update on whether green was colluding?
I was cheering for the bot :)
Haha, of course you were.
when is it good to manually roll?
Orange lowkey a hero for realizing his game was fucked and deciding to punish Black.
If you were in black's position after the green kill, how would you have played in order to win the game? I know you can't give me a step by step, but a vague idea of how to close a game from that strong of a position.
He needed to start making kills. The thing that loses you the game at that point is the whole table which is still strong than you teaming up to bring you down, or bring you to equal.
Black was almost double in strength to red who was second in troops at that point. If black was able to make a kill, he would take a bounty and occupy the space of another player which would generate him more resources in the future.
Divide and conquer. Kill one opponent at a time.
@@TheKillPeteStrategy Thanks for responding! I'll try to incorporate that into my game and be more proactive when I have a decent lead on second place.
I'm at the 50 minute part of this game. I really think green was cheating with black because after you reminded them no collabs in discord suddenly his attitude changed. Someone with 3,000 plus hours isn't going to just let someone get massive like that then decide "it's time to cut black down to size" Especially since you showed him you would be good neighbor and he kept breaking you for no reason. I understand him not wanting to piss everyone off. But it all comes down to his pivot AFTER you pointed out the possible collab. At 55 minute mark and it does appear greens goal was to help black grow very large then hide. You calling them out changed the plan and he just let himself die.
There's no way for us to know now. There wasn't found to be collaboration at the time so I'll let this one go.
Ya know, if you had told me Friday, I'd be spending a good portion of my weekend streaming Risk tournys, I'd have called you a liar.,
MaGiCcccccc
Green was an ass, orange was awesome and pete played great. All and all, a great stream / video!

Hey it happens to the best of us..
Why a philosophy degree? Do you do anything with it?
I mow lawns? 🤣🤣🤣
I dunno man. I speak my mind on UA-cam.
Tbh I didn't get it to do anything with it. I just found it interesting. I've always ran my own businesses.
