Dude do it. We've been starved for content and will devour anything you do
Check out his second channel he uploads all the time there
@@Claricio Didn't even realize he had one. I would have assumed that he would just post everything to his main channel
@@olorin7611 i think i saw he is saving his main channel for “high quality time consuming projects” but yeah i feel like his content on 2nd channel is good enough for his main idk
The placement phase is so crucial and difficult to navigate at the highest level, love this breakdown of the Catan Championships
The editing, analysis and flow of this video is insanely good. Well done mate, brilliant video.
Meh, feels like a long Tik Tok video and is kinda dumbed down for a broader audience
Always good to see a main channel analysis from Dylan 🔥
I actually went in the same place as the pros off of first instinct, but even then I knew "oh this is definitely not the place" and I just went there because I didn't have the mental energy to find a better spot 😂.
It's no surprise that Bo won in his position though. I honestly would be interested if you got more pros on call to understand their thought process. I'm assuming Bo is a pretty good considering he won the entire thing, though it's a little hard to tell given his opponent's... interesting settlement picks here.
I agree with everything you said though. Your analysis videos are always so deep as a self-proclaimed Catan pro myself (not really). They always make me think about how I play in Catan even though a lot of it comes off as "oh duh why didn't I think of that" at my level.
Love your videos man. Keep doing what you're doing. I should probably watch a bit more of your second channel lol.
HES BACK
I'd like a full game analysis
Also it's interesting how a misplaced settlement can ripple out in the long term
Legendary. Production quality is amazing man
I love Caleb’s road to wheat port. You hit it on the nose at the end on how many situations end with him actually getting the expansion and having an amazing set up. I think it’s worth the risk
Love your content bro! I’ve watched every video you’ve ever made, and every time I see a new post I watch right away. I actually want to disagree with most people and say I’d rather not see a full-game analysis video of this game. Like you said, 2 players have already lost so it’s not that interesting. I’d rather see another video about tips for placement.
Those two players haven't automatically lost. Because their positions are so weak, they essentially need to collude extremely hard to try to bolster one another up as much as possible and try to hammer the other players down. That could help them win.
As 4th I think I’m taking 8-10-3 and 9-5-12. It’s tough but balanced, and sheep port could be useful. Plus we have best road connectivity
Why is one of the most well done, most educationally valuable videos explaining the strategy of a game that I have ever seen on settlers of Catan of all games 😂 that's so awesome and so tragic at the same time
For red, I would have placed my settlement on the 8 - 10 - 3 and the 9 - 5 - 12. One of every resource with expansion spot on the 8 - 9 and ability to connect. You control most the brick on the board for early game when everyone wants it and can get to the 3/1 port pretty easy in the late game. go for longest road and forget about d-cards because everyone has an ore wheat sheep setup
I have no idea how you are going to win if you have that setup without just getting an abundance of good rolls. The 6/10/3 9/5/12 is winnable. I don't really think your setup is.
This is such good content! Watching the final I knew Caleb + Katie were fighting for 3rd place, but I didn't know why. Thank you for everything you do for this community.
THE KING RETURNS
You've brought Catan UA-cam to a level it hasn't been on before! 🔥
Would love to see a video on the semi-final with Bo. I can't find the vod but I remember it being a sick game.
Another out for 2nd is 6 2 to 6 2. Definitely worth considering there
Maybe the competition was tough but it definitely wasn't in the finals lol. Only Bo Peng appeared to have an inkling of in-depth understanding of the game, and I can't even judge his overall skill level here since it's impossible to express much of it in a table this bad.
Amazing editing!
Hi, as a casual viewer (who has some difficulty following this stuff) who plays another board game at tournament level, I wonder what the state of AI for Catan is? It's notable that you never seem to refer to computer analysis in your videos, it's all your own expertise, which is great but a bit unusual compared to other games. Is there AI, but it's simply not good enough (I can imagine Catan wouldn't exactly be the easiest game to crack!) or is this just an unexplored game in that regard?
the AI in digital adaptions of catan is dumb as bread. i am very curious, are there actually any strategy board games with at least comparatively complex rules and high amounts of randomness where AI is beating human players? i thought so far that still was only a thing for games that adhere to a very concise and calculateable ruleset with minimal randomness like chess.
@@kloklon I can only think of poker there, which AI has mastered to a superhuman degree. If that matches Catan in complexity is another question. Thanks for answering my question 🙂
Love to have you back. Commenting to boost the algorithm and encourage more videos!
I managed to find placements that were actually picked, and got roasted anyway
This a surprise 😂
I would do the 3 8 10 for strong OWS pointing left and then the 5 9 12 for a free road (that possibly gets me to the 6 10) and strong Wood Brick. I'd point that road up to get to a 3:1 port early.
Best analysis I've seen yet! The new editing style is snazzy, slightly (and I mean only slightly) distracting at times. E.g. the text moving with your fingers and the moving red background.
Orange probably overthink too much, 3 5 11 was kinda obvious to me. I saw 9 5 12 for red but I really did not see a path toward 6 ore, that move is so so genius
Love the content, maybe quieter background music in future vids, we’ve missed you! 🤘
What if yellow took 6/2/Desert and then expanded to the 6/2 port? High wood and brick to expand to the 4/10 wheat port with a starting road in hand. And it leaves the spots around the 3 ore open for white and blue to go
animations, cuts, camera, voice-over, and analysis were top notch. Fucking with the content
Please make more content DyLighted I enjoy your catan videos very much
Great video and orange should’ve went 6-2 brick port and build towards the 6 ore
Amazing breakdown by dylighted, did not think of a lot of these moves.
if 4th position I think I take 3/4/10 point to the right to 3/1 port and 5/9/12 point left to the 8/9 brick spot.
Youve gotten so much better at speaking. Very informative Video
gg
I love this content, it's so fun to play along and see if you made the "correct" decisions!
Man the quality of the video just keeps on increasing
I love these kinds of videos, they go really in to depth and I think you can learn a lot from them, watching the best people in the world making very small but crucial mistakes can help you improve and learn a lot. It shows that this game is way more complicated than people give it credit for and show that even the best can make mistakes. I would also defiantly want to see the full analysis on the game, overall very amazing and insightful video love it!
Welcome back my guy! You are an incredible creator that I hope to be able to learn from
so they all pretty much suck or what?
Cities and knights or seafarers expansion video next!!
We crave more analysis - give the people what they want!
This analysis is phenomenal! Please do more! You are a legend
Anyone else find the moving bg nausiating
How is the game called? Is it on Steam?
more tournament and full game analysis
The 4th position should generally act as a spoiler and block as many things as possible for the remaining players, so: 3610 and 8612 and go for LR. Sure you have no ore or sheep, but you've hounded all the good brick, wood and most of wheat, so plenty of trade potential. The third player will take 3810, but the remaining 2 will very much suffer with their final placement.
you're alive? xD
the special effects are off the board sir
What about 8 3 12 right for orange
I really like this style of video!
Expertly produced, wow!
More tournament analysis pleaaaase
Please do a full game analysis of the match. I watched the full game but having your commentary would be golden.
2:20 I’m not sure but the 8/9/12 and 10/3/6 look tempting
Edit: ooooo got it legit I should go pro
Welcome back! Thought you went to poker instead. Looking forward to your updates. Appreciate the new animations too, slick and much easier to view than the over exposed raw catan board.
Damn I missed 1st comment on my fave youtuber. gg I already know the video is 🔥
ore wheat sheep 🙏🏽🙏🏽‼️
Hell yes, I want full-game analysis. Your analysis videos are my favourites.

I would love more analysis of any kind! Loved to hear viewpoints and outlooks with the strategies listed
I won a catan match in a half an hour by controlling sheep and a sheep port.
HES BAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK
First
1000% would love to see a full game analysis, and always love when you do these tournament analyses! It's great to see how many factors a player needs to take into account in order to have a strong game.
Do
I would absolutely love to see more opening analysis and more whole game analysis!
Great analysis! Thanks for the video
Really insightful dylan. Thank you
MOOORRRREEEEEEE!!!!
Give more of this, is very good. Just a tip, dont make these mistakes look so easy to spot, because probably with the time limit they had to pick, and being an over the board game, it wasnt so easy to find the right placements.
I mean, they are still the best catan players or they wouldnt be there ( on average )
Catan is significantly dependent upon luck. The players who reached the finals are mediocre players who got good luck.
Let's go! Love the content! Keep it up
Such an awesome format, this is just awesome
We can all agree that we want the full game analysis.
Absolute banger, would love to see a full game analysis
Gang gang gang gang
I would love to see the full game analysis
IM SO GLAD YOU POSTED AHHH
Full game analysis! 🔥
Glad hes back
For Red I would play 5-9-12 followed by 3-4-10 to start with a dev and point towards 2 3:1 ports. I have all 5 resources, and decent numbers. The best ore + wheat you can really ask for in this spot + board.
3-8-12 for Orange Road down?
Yellow should place 3810 and point right, really the best option, to play an OWS hybrid where excess wheat is traded for either wood or ore. If 2:1 wheat is blocked 3411 might be available.
Edit: Ok, fair points, but I still think this setup is salvageable. Obviously, pointing left is a big mistake. The pp advantage is nothing to sneeze at and if you city up relatively quickly you can go on a strong dev card rampage.
I’m sorry, what is pp advantage?
Also, how would he city up quickly with only a 3 ore spot?
@@-ZH Production points. Yellow has 22, Blue has 17. I'm not a very happy camper when I get less than 20 on the first two cities. Sure two pp from the 3 is not that much, but you already have 1 ore and you can either bite thd bullet and 4:1 or trade your brick for ore as two players are woefully short on brick. After citying up the settlement with ore it will be a bit easier. Sure it will take some time, but no one here is in a position to realize their early game plans particularly quickly. Then dev cards with a potential for a third site if you roll some brick and sheep, which are paired. Sure it's nowhere near a slam dunk, but neither do I think it is the disaster D claims it to be.
Can you please stop covering this one game over and over again. It’s like this was the only high level Catan game that took place in the last five years… I’m so over it
