In the waning years of the 17th century, as the seas raged with conflict and empires vied for dominance, there emerged a figure whose name was whispered among sailors like a talisman. He was known simply as The Captain. No one knew his real name, nor did anyone need to-his deeds were enough. Born in a small fishing village on the Dutch coast, The Captain was raised by the sea. Orphaned by pirates at a young age, he had been rescued by the Dutch Navy, his life transformed from a humble boy into a warrior of the waves. By his early twenties, he had become an officer of repute, known for his tactical brilliance and unmatched courage. But it was during the Anglo-Dutch Wars that The Captain cemented his legacy. In the summer of 1672, amid the height of the conflict between the Dutch and the combined English and French fleets, the Dutch Navy was outnumbered and outgunned. Morale was low, and defeat seemed inevitable. The Captain, now commanding a small frigate named De Zilverster, was tasked with leading a squadron of ships to protect a vital convoy bringing supplies from the Baltic Sea. The convoy was their lifeline-without it, the Dutch war effort would crumble. The sea was treacherous, and so was the enemy. The English fleet, larger and better equipped, bore down on them with full force. The Captain’s orders were clear: buy the convoy time, no matter the cost. As the battle unfolded off the coast of Texel, The Captain’s genius became apparent. He positioned De Zilverster in the heart of the English formation, using the ship’s superior speed and his intimate knowledge of the sea currents to outmaneuver the larger English warships. His crew, hardened by years of warfare, followed him without hesitation. The Captain led from the front, his voice rising over the roar of cannon fire and the howling wind. For hours, De Zilverster danced between the enemy lines, her cannons firing with deadly precision. Ships twice her size were crippled and sent to the depths. The Captain seemed everywhere at once-giving orders, manning cannons, and even steering the ship himself at the most critical moments. At the height of the battle, an English flagship-the HMS Sovereign, known for her invincibility-closed in on The Captain’s vessel. Realizing that his ship would be outmatched in a direct confrontation, The Captain devised a daring plan. Under a cloud of smoke and fire, he ordered his men to feign retreat, luring the English ship into a narrow passage between two reefs. The English commander, eager for the kill, took the bait. As the Sovereign pursued, The Captain gave the signal. With a sudden turn, De Zilverster released a broadside of cannon fire at point-blank range. The shots tore through the English flagship's hull, setting her ablaze. The Sovereign sank within minutes, her crew scrambling to survive the cold waters. The Captain’s victory bought the convoy the time it needed to reach safety. But De Zilverster had taken damage too. With her masts shattered and her hull leaking, the ship limped back to port, her crew bloodied but victorious. They had lost comrades, but the enemy had been dealt a crushing blow. When The Captain finally stepped ashore, his uniform torn and his face marked with the grime of battle, he was greeted as a hero. But he accepted no accolades, no rewards. For him, the sea was his life, and duty was his creed. The legend of The Captain spread across the Dutch Republic and beyond. Tales of his daring spread through taverns and courts alike. Sailors claimed he could speak to the wind, that the sea itself bent to his will. Even his enemies, those who survived his wrath, spoke of him with a strange reverence. In time, The Captain vanished from history. Some said he had died in battle, others whispered that he had sailed beyond the horizon, never to return. But the stories lived on. To this day, Dutch sailors, when faced with a storm or an overwhelming foe, tell each other the tale of The Captain-a man whose name was lost, but whose courage and brilliance remain eternal. They say that if you listen closely on stormy nights, when the wind howls and the waves crash, you can still hear his voice, guiding lost ships safely home. Or in his twitch streams, where he continues to make poor judgements about food and disparage the good name of Lambo.

He pilots the mothership
@@Jordan-Ramses lost his foot in an incident that was not service related, now he plays starcraft at a pro level.
Could you turn on unit death animations?
Beautiful plays by Astrea. Also, Byun seemed a bit overconfident (and paid the price for it).
I love watching Astrea play.
So fun to watch astrea
