Imo megarandom is a good exercise in your ability to adapt not only to your enemy, but also the environment itself. If you're a pro player who is the best at playing Arabia, but you can't physically play any other map, you can't really call yourself the best in the world. Alteast IMO.

10:05 My first idea for poles (and the first games I played with them) was castle-rushing on Arena. Didn't cara about the obuch and winged hussar that much :D
missed times when i was younger and nooby. always had 30 vils. 10 women on food, 5 men on stone, 5 on gold and mix 10 on wood :D ... ooo and never want to lose any solider :D
I love that LEL players can have two options at any given moment, and consistently chose the worse alternative no matter what the situation xD Mill in the open with farm space? Or Mill next to woodline and gold? EZ wood and gold go brrr Castle on a hill, or castle below a hill? EZ enemy siege benefit go brrr
omg, blue is so frustrating to watch. So many idle production buildings with bazillions of resources in the bank. Decisions that make zero sense, even for a noob. Making the same mistakes over and over again against the same raids.
Damn, sometimes low elo legends is so painfull to watch, your inner frustration is like, DO THIS, DO THIS, DO THIS AND THIS AND THAT! and they're just like sitting there to die hahaha xD
"Is anyone else concerned that blue is not prepared for a knight attack?" I wouldn't worry about it as his opponent doesn't have the economy to actually produce any knights.
when i was a kid playing this game, when testing civs the first thing i thought of was 'how good are their towers, castles, and walls' cause i loved to turtle and played exclusively islands/team islands on single player cause i had no idea voobly even existed. watching these make me realize that i am not as bad as i think i am, but only cause i know build orders (though i dont know unit counters so i fall apart in lategame).
I feel Orange is the younger player. Orange wants kills. Blue likes to make a pretty base and get fully ready for attacks which is much more like what an older person would do.
It's hard to imagine a guy on a horse chase a boat and give it 3 sword strikes on the hull to sink it. And then a dwarf comes out of nowhere and say's " it only count as one !"
Man, at any point blue could have spent all resources on military and wrecked. The defensiveness and the split military just lost it for him. I knew orange was going to win even with 5 military vs 50. Defense doesn't win games.
I have watched probably 10 to 15 of these low elo legends and Usually I can laugh and have a good time but this one by far made me the most upset…I physically got angry watching those 50 obuch right click a treb…..i need a beer now
well tbh I played my first ranked game recently, the moment the guy dropped a tower in feudal in my base, I was like "well maybe I can win but I'm not sure I want to deal with that stress" and resigned, so I get the pressure thing
Cap was operating with 0 villagers on eco for a long time and still won! In low elo legends winning is about heart above all else, skill is just a bonus!
LiMe86 had nowhere to build a new force and even if he'd emerged from the woods with a heap of cavaliers (paladins?), he'd have had trouble creating siege to take Cap down.
