No way dude, are you seriously saying that 100 is a larger number than 20?! I don't believe it, please show the evidence of your findings! There is no way in hell that 100>20. No way.
Aok ... one of mine first (along with UT and gta2 for a cozy intro to gaming), great memories. I just gotta ask, assuming that it doesn't mean neither girlfriend nor meaning of life, what for does ELO stand for?
I made a lobby of 4vs4ai moderate just to play exactly how i used to play when i first started playing the game, no metas,my build order was insta mill on berries,casually making vills till fedual, insta stone walls making well looking base,after castle make 1 tc but the people who joined the lobby went for castle drop and tower rush on moderate ai like really? How does that make them feel? Actual tryhards
@@Μπάμπης-υ5ν yeah thats extremely cringe. I don't play normal Extreme AI ever these days on super open maps like Arabia anymore because people, no matter the skill level will only want to cheese the AI in the easiest, low skill way possible.
It kind of reminds me of how I was playing this game 20 years ago when I was 10yo. Not like I am playing it way better now, but still, it's hard to realize how it's even possible someone sucks so bad and is still willing to play online xD
This is definetly one of the best LEL I've ever seen, Idk how they're under 100 ELO, they're so good! Especially blue! And in the last moments when red was trying to trade he totally won my heart.
My head cannon is that all those LEL are actually role players using AoE as a stage. Reminds me of when I was playing Magic the Gathering and roleplaying my cards. A lot of fun. Except I did win some minor tournaments, but again, Magic is literally based on DnD so roleplaying fits in the game quite well. Role play and real time strategy sadly don't usually go well together.
I love watching Low Elo Legends. I can never expect how the game will go. It's so much fun watching people figuring out what to do, not caring about meta or anything.
This is so much more fun to watch than the pros. They put on a show but its all relatively expected. these guys know how to break out of the meta and teach us new things!
this reminds me of when I was first playing AoE2. Trying to figure out how on earth to deal with castles and randomly discovering trebs in the imperial age.
I think this is my favorite LEL of all. Fantastic cast T90, you really highlighted this fantastic match up!!! This game had everything. I was smiling and also stressed out nearly all game. Congrats Max on the win!
I played this game when I was a kid. Now I'm just a dad with so little time that I just watch other people play. Love the memories gained from watching this. 😆
i just picked this game up and been watching a lot of videos and i love this series! it also gives me courage to jump into ranking, which i'm gonna do soon probably
THIS is Age of Empires for me! This is Way better than any Pro Match...I gonna try and play like this from now on...just having fun, trying stupid stuff
11:48 Kind of reminds me of the original AoE2 opening cinematic with the rooks being towers in the field. Overall, Max had some wild upgrade denying building kills and I'm glad he won, but that last minute trade cog run was definitely respectable. XD
This game made me start playing AoE. I hate memorizing how many villigers should be doing what and when, but playing like this and having fun looks great.
Thats the exact reason why i dont do that building order stuff xD. I play for fun, not to go remember a math equation. I never play online, it also would never get me up high ELO. But who cares. But i do understand the basics of the game, not like this 2 hehe.
That was awesome!! This is what I wanna see in a game, none of those optimal strats that would never work or happen in real life. It genuinely pisses me off that villagers having idle time is such a big problem in the game. I'd love it if they had stamina like IRL, so they have to rest or else your economy dies.
They should make a training mod that has SOTLs commentary about each building or unit when you click it. Just to explain how everything works to a beginner
How are they so low ranked lol? All the upgrades (except blacksmith ones XD), army making, creativity and even making a lot of villagers... They are great Also, look at this crazy multitasking, 3000 ELO level, fighting everywhere at once
One of the best tutorials Ive ever had the pleasure of using. You have a clear speaking voice at the perfect cadence, and straight forward instructions. I only wish there was a way to skip right to the instruction rather than listening to 8 minutes of unimportant explanations as to why I should do the very thing Ive already decided to do and just want to do.
These have to be smurfs or something, the pace and variety of things happening feels like stuff you don't even see 10x their elo. Either that or just two super unique, aggro players
I feel almost bad laughing so much at the gameplay, twitch chat and commentary. Almost, as it's like laughing at myself when I started playing. Good times.
I would not be surprised if they are very young. This reminds me how my young son would play AOE. He was in this own little world. If not young than as mentioned below - they seem to be having a lot of fun and that is what game playing is all about.
The original AoE didn’t provide you with enough wood as starting resources to build a storage pit. So, you had to chop straggler trees around the TC until you had enough wood to build a storage pit and chop the wood line. That’s the game I played first and thus my go to is to chop straggler trees. It feels right in my mind. Just throwing that out there
I think my goal in life is to get sub-100 elo. This looks like such a laid back and fun game. I wouldn't be shaking with nervous energy as I try to chase deer to my town center while simultaneously trying to build a feudal age army to protect me from the scout rush. Also my wife sucks at the game, so we'll be sub 100 elo in team RM soon.
40:50 nice pathing: the Scouts move slow because they are in a group with the mangonel. The mangonel stops to attack. The Scouts still keep the slow pace as if the mangonel was still with them. Thanks DE.
I think this is just a reoccurring "feature" for AOE games in general. Outside the original. The positives is that units in groups don't get stuck on each other going through tight spaces, but their speed is now stuck to the slowest unit
Survivalist did a pretty good video comparing the pathing of 2019 DE with today, and the formation behavior of today got much worse. Knights in formation with archers for example used to go at normal knight speed to get into formation and then slow down, now they don't anymore. I think here the case is similar. I think the Scouts would have sped up with the old pathing
I ran into one of those everything in my army players last time I played. He set-up and tried to siege my base, I deployed my army of Paladins as the Persians and demolished him. This was several years ago,probably more so the savar Persian unique didn't exist back then.
This was already a very entertaining game but red going for the trade heist at the very end puts it up among the best games of AoE2 I've ever seen, what a play 11
I love how some players think you can only make 1 military building at a time if I had 6k food and nothing else, that's a light cav army. Treb vs Treb action with 9k foot in the bank!
Yeah, Blacksmith.... Back in the day, much younger me that was new to AoE2, had habit of leaving Blacksmith tech, because there were too many till I aged up, then built 5 blacksmiths to research all techs at once... then forget about returning after like first round... :-D Also if it was going on long enough, i sometimes clicked it by mistake and found more techs, needless to say, I forgot about third round then again... :-D Also didn't know you could trade with enemy... all the things you learn from low elo... :-D And for researching everything, I used to do it back in the day, because I really never bothered to read description, I just felt it likely does something. It did. And I was happy moving on. It didn't even matter how icon looks. :-D Also I would always build trade card, because I clicked all researches and always forgot that first icon isn't research... :-D And for houses, I would always build them into separate square pieces of 4. :-D Also of course I would never pull boar under TC, didn't know about decay back then. And scouting was hourglass shaped, like if I was on north east, I would send it to south west, then north west, then south east, then back home, if it survived that long. Sheep were only found by mistake and sometimes left under TC, because I forgot to eat them and started farming after berries, because berries didn't need managing. :-D Also my armies always were balanced, because I would queue up 5 of everything, when that is done, 5 more of everything. Except Mangonel, because those killed my troops and micromanaging them wouldn't be a thing for quite a while. So I just mentally marked them as dangerous to myself. :-D Also for cutting trees, back then I was confused because sometimes they did it sometimes not, because I didn't know that they do it after you research Onager. :-D
Oh man, I am planning to get pro gamer gear because I am getting old and feel like I need at least top peripherals to make up for my age, and then I see these guys just having fun. Why did I even bother reading about build orders
There's 20 players total that are above 0 Elo and below 100 Elo.
These guys are a rarer breed than the top100 players
Bless their hearts.
there should be a 2v2 tournament where the top 20 players all have to team up with a bottom 20 player.
I am there if I would play online
No way dude, are you seriously saying that 100 is a larger number than 20?!
I don't believe it, please show the evidence of your findings! There is no way in hell that 100>20. No way.
Aok ... one of mine first (along with UT and gta2 for a cozy intro to gaming), great memories.
I just gotta ask, assuming that it doesn't mean neither girlfriend nor meaning of life, what for does ELO stand for?
We watch this to feel better about our skills, but we are just jealous of how much fun these players are having. 0% meta 100% fun
I made a lobby of 4vs4ai moderate just to play exactly how i used to play when i first started playing the game, no metas,my build order was insta mill on berries,casually making vills till fedual, insta stone walls making well looking base,after castle make 1 tc but the people who joined the lobby went for castle drop and tower rush on moderate ai like really?

@@Μπάμπης-υ5νwhenever I play vs ai I ask my teammate (*if* I’m more skilled than them) “want me to crush them?” lol
@@Μπάμπης-υ5ν yeah thats extremely cringe. I don't play normal Extreme AI ever these days on super open maps like Arabia anymore because people, no matter the skill level will only want to cheese the AI in the easiest, low skill way possible.
The perfect slogan for Low Elo Legends.
It kind of reminds me of how I was playing this game 20 years ago when I was 10yo. Not like I am playing it way better now, but still, it's hard to realize how it's even possible someone sucks so bad and is still willing to play online xD
Before auto-scout I used to have my scout on stand ground and follow enemy scouts because I was lazy and didn't want to do the scouting myself
Work smarter not harder.
This is brilliant.
Shit I would of never thought of that
Did that too with the ai
My father taught me how to do that as a kid
I see Teutonic Knights massing and think, "Yep, this game is over."
Video length: 50%
WHAT?!
This is definetly one of the best LEL I've ever seen, Idk how they're under 100 ELO, they're so good! Especially blue! And in the last moments when red was trying to trade he totally won my heart.
33:20 that villager just went to convince her husband not to go to war
Deep Lore, we NEED a movie!!!
My head cannon is that all those LEL are actually role players using AoE as a stage.
Reminds me of when I was playing Magic the Gathering and roleplaying my cards. A lot of fun. Except I did win some minor tournaments, but again, Magic is literally based on DnD so roleplaying fits in the game quite well.
Role play and real time strategy sadly don't usually go well together.
2:56 Red placing one villager on each stragler tree and them hitting the stump is sync is a satisfying sight
We are hitting levels of low ELO we didn't think were possible
speak for yourself. I can proudly say that my suckage in AOE2 is infinite.
i love watching you low elos
That was so much more fun than the high elo games. More please.
I love watching Low Elo Legends. I can never expect how the game will go. It's so much fun watching people figuring out what to do, not caring about meta or anything.
wow fire galley! Red knew how to flip to next page on Dock menu! Amazing
Blue's elo went up from 16 to 31 after this match. Now his elo is 7. 😆
You meant blue?
@@zeroyuki92yes you are right.😊
This is so much more fun to watch than the pros. They put on a show but its all relatively expected. these guys know how to break out of the meta and teach us new things!
they don't even need to 'break out' of the meta
I feel like i'm watching myself when I was 6. Teutons seemed like the shit with their badass capes and stats!
Points for persistance. I cannot even imagine how many L has that guy suffered and he is still playing
This win made him forget 100 loses he had before
@@bayern1806 me when I play apex
I like the players saving the safe fish for later.
This was one of the most entertaining ELO's. More lower ELO's please!!
this reminds me of when I was first playing AoE2. Trying to figure out how on earth to deal with castles and randomly discovering trebs in the imperial age.
I think this is my favorite LEL of all. Fantastic cast T90, you really highlighted this fantastic match up!!! This game had everything. I was smiling and also stressed out nearly all game. Congrats Max on the win!
I played this game when I was a kid. Now I'm just a dad with so little time that I just watch other people play. Love the memories gained from watching this. 😆
I usually don't watch the games longer than an hour but WOW what a game! I was in tears laughing. I'm so jealous of these players i'm too competitive.
i just picked this game up and been watching a lot of videos and i love this series! it also gives me courage to jump into ranking, which i'm gonna do soon probably
THIS is Age of Empires for me!
This is Way better than any Pro Match...I gonna try and play like this from now on...just having fun, trying stupid stuff
Honestly a great and funny match. Great back and forth

Blue won while holding 9k of food... What was he wanting to do with all that food?
Saving it for the victory feast
You have to save up food in case there is a famine, so your people do not starve! It's just responsible stewardship.
feed his people like a good leader
That was awesome!!
This is what I wanna see in a game, none of those optimal strats that would never work or happen in real life.
It genuinely pisses me off that villagers having idle time is such a big problem in the game. I'd love it if they had stamina like IRL, so they have to rest or else your economy dies.
There was a moment where everyone was asking about blue’s blacksmith since he didn’t make any upgrade. But it was the first feudal building he made.
That clutch blacksmith denial 😂😂😂
What a chad to reject armor entirely lol
This reminded me soo much about my first games on lan partys.
Its so much nostalgia.
I love LEL
Well... I used to play like that when I was 10-12. Now I am 34 years old I am even worst because I haven't play this game for 15 years xD.
They should make a training mod that has SOTLs commentary about each building or unit when you click it. Just to explain how everything works to a beginner
46:00 - C O O O O I N A A A A G E
Hilarious
honestly if max new about lumber camps he would be at least 600
When I saw how low the ELO was I got excited at the prospect of seeing McClain's godly gameplay again, but it wasn't meant to be.
How are they so low ranked lol? All the upgrades (except blacksmith ones XD), army making, creativity and even making a lot of villagers... They are great
Also, look at this crazy multitasking, 3000 ELO level, fighting everywhere at once
mainly because they are absolutely terrible at micro and at counters. over 70% of the "aoe2 game skill" is just micro and counters...
@@nemou4985 r/whoosh
Have to agree with you, one of the best LEL games I've ever seen you upload.
The sequence at 5:38 had me in tears! 🤣
One of the best tutorials Ive ever had the pleasure of using. You have a clear speaking voice at the perfect cadence, and straight forward instructions. I only wish there was a way to skip right to the instruction rather than listening to 8 minutes of unimportant explanations as to why I should do the very thing Ive already decided to do and just want to do.
These have to be smurfs or something, the pace and variety of things happening feels like stuff you don't even see 10x their elo. Either that or just two super unique, aggro players
Yeah that dark age forward vill from blue had me like 🤔🤔 not to mention the forward barracks trying to castle drop and various other things..
red isn't aggro, he just likes to play sincity and gets mad when you attack their buildings
Also both have terrible APM
Finally! A game equal to my skill level!
I feel almost bad laughing so much at the gameplay, twitch chat and commentary. Almost, as it's like laughing at myself when I started playing. Good times.
I thought it wasn't possible to go under 100. Has it changed or were I just wrong?
Takes a lot of persistentance
It shouldn't be possible in theory, according to the ELO system, so there is definitely something weird going on
I really hope they keep playing
I would not be surprised if they are very young. This reminds me how my young son would play AOE. He was in this own little world. If not young than as mentioned below - they seem to be having a lot of fun and that is what game playing is all about.
Ultra LEL is SO much more fun than 700-800 ELO.
The highs, the lows, the gambles, the heists, the long range treb support in fights. This was one of the best LELs ever 11
We can call it civ win. Capes are op.
The original AoE didn’t provide you with enough wood as starting resources to build a storage pit. So, you had to chop straggler trees around the TC until you had enough wood to build a storage pit and chop the wood line. That’s the game I played first and thus my go to is to chop straggler trees.

Red managed to research every single tech except blacksmith upgrades. Amazing!

I wouldn't be shaking with nervous energy as I try to chase deer to my town center while simultaneously trying to build a feudal age army to protect me from the scout rush. Also my wife sucks at the game, so we'll be sub 100 elo in team RM soon.
These dudes at sub 100 look like 600-700 ELO just four or five years ago
I love your videos T90, God bless you
thousands of res in the bank, no units in Q - this is low elo legends babyy
Could you make the argument that the 16 elo player has more experience because it takes so many more games to reach an elo that low?
Two based o.g. factions of goths n teutons.
There's something funny to me about how the idle vills just stand there motionless, Blair witch style
I LOVE that he dishes out jobs based on gender xD amazing to see
impossible to predict anything in this game!! i thought i would just click through this, thinking it's gonna be boring, but what a game!
The legend of Max! That was awesome :) Props to Red for the blockade runners

i need to pick a gimmick and see how far i can get xD atm i like "Spanish Horsees". and obv SimCity. just playing to have fun, not win.
Or taking all the relics and surrounding them with a wall. Taking your opponents resources before your own. Lot of fun ones
2:17 lol that was fun))cool personality
This is honestly far more entertaining and interesting than watching pros run metas and macros. Ham and cheese is so much fun.
This was a really good LEL episode, the title undersold it, this game had everything. Including TRADING WITH THE ENEMY 11
I ran into one of those everything in my army players last time I played. He set-up and tried to siege my base, I deployed my army of Paladins as the Persians and demolished him. This was several years ago,probably more so the savar Persian unique didn't exist back then.

As somone who has never played AOE2 I like watching these …
34:39 Teutonic Knights: "We don't need no education!"
Congratulations, Max!
Bro, he must’ve felt so good after that. What a battle?!
As an og Man Utd fan, I'm impressed you knew Tevez!
Why is matchmaking so unfair? Red has 4x more ELO than blue.
What version of the game are they playing?
Age of Empires II definitive Edition. This is the refreshed version made in 2019.
It is 2024 and I did not expect to watch low elo legends today as well. But as always, good commentary makes all the difference
Where are you guys playing? What platform?
56:49 best moment for me 😂😂 you're already challenged and then this
Your channel is my new favorite thing to watch, just started playing a little bit ago😂 im super trash but this is probably my favorite game...
20:33 - All the queue villagers are women. I think red were canceling and choosing now that he wants to make farms.
AMAZING game, thank you for sharing this incredible match!

Excellent Game. Good casting!

Been Darkelfing ever since I was 12. It's soo much easier when selecting all villagers to recognize on which resource they are.
0:45 thank you for that magician joke, random chatter
What an unbelievable match. This one had it all.
This is my skill level. ❤ Love to see it!
This was truly a hero’s journey
The fish traps are like little bees, collecting honey.
Thank you so much for these video's T90!!!!
Let's Go LEL best one all year!!
6:00 Here is AOE2 being a stealth game.
GG, sick game!! Best LEL game of 2023 perhaps even!
T90s multiplication skills are the real LEL in this Video 😂
What a game wow. That hour flew by
Oh man, I am planning to get pro gamer gear because I am getting old and feel like I need at least top peripherals to make up for my age, and then I see these guys just having fun. Why did I even bother reading about build orders

Came for the 16 elo teuton, stayed for the low elo darkelf
