This was absolutely one of the best games of RTS I've ever seen. I had absolutely no idea who was going to win and it was action from start to finish. Love to see this game being played at such a high level of skill
Yep, the APM and spread ended up being too much for Lucifron. I wonder if MarineLord purposely cranked up the pressure very gradually or just naturally played round 1 that way.
56 minutes, 39 seconds, and not one second will anyone want to skip. And not for one minute will anyone be able to guarantee who's going to win. I'm not going to say it either. What an absolute gem of a match. The absolute clash of two monsters going up against each other with more than skill, sheer will, and still getting their horns locked at a stalemate ever so often. If anyone ever had to help explain what an "Unstoppable force meets an Immovable Object" looks like, send them the link to this video.
Oh man.. I was watching the spasskaya tower video before sleep, and this got uploaded while I was watching.. now I’m forced to stay up a bit longer since this is the best game of AoE4 I’ve ever seen
I had to rewind and watch the minimap to figure out how that win was pulled off, and I think the secret was the proxy base in the far east corner. Lots of villager dots near it got wiped out in those last couple minutes.
@@whyno713 skip through the video a bit and focus on the right corner of the map in the last ~20 minutes - drongo was completely ignoring how much action was going on at the side.
Aussie_Drongo, as i'm watching this one stoned on og kush, makes me realise how marvelous you truly are, it's beautiful to see how much passion and love has been translated into effort and hard work both you and the players, thank you so much, bless you!
My boi Lucifron fought well. Hope he's well and rested for his next march. It was such a shame that it had to end like that, with him giving up so soon.
"so soon" lmao did you not watch the whole 53 minutes?! Lucifron couldve won if he secured his base from raids with stone walls. Hindsight is always 20/20
Watched this on my oculus and was smiling ear to ear from the commentator and gameplay. Then switched to my mobile cause I had to give you props. Great video!
I absolutely love how they both played French, but in completely different ways. I didn't know who to root for since I like starcraft and warcraft. I do think it's funny seeing a player named after a starcraft unit vs a player named after a world of warcraft boss in an age of empires game.
that was really good game, lucifron army was better but marinelord has enough economic support and production building just right so he can defend his base indefinitely. To win, either you destroy the enemy's economy or production building. that was well played from Marinelord
I haven't played the game and don't know the rules but still love watching it! Can someone explain why Lucifron lost in the end instantly? I thought you have to kill enemy king or town hall to win the match or am I wrong?
there was a slow trickle of death amongst his villagers, eventually, it reached a critical point where he wasn't able to sustain enough units on the battlefield, and he subsequently collapsed
--- SPOILER ALERT ---- Around 50:00 MarineLord proves what Starcraft II pro players have proved time and time again, even under constant attack, always go for counter-attack/raid if you think you can manage it. And being MarineLord himself he went for these "marine drops" aka tower drops to the "mineral line" aka farms/lumber camps. You can see from the minimap he always sent some horsemen some vils something something to Lucifron's base. And in the next 6 mins Lucifron lost 40+ vils (half of his economy at that point) and he had to tap out. Damn what a game.
i wish i'll be able to do that someday - but it takes an insane amount of APM. Raiding like this is somewhat common in AOE 2, 3 and 4, but not at this absurd level of intensity. Marinelord is a beast.
Hahahaha ! Incredible awesome commentary ! And you did alone, wich is crazy becuase the video was great and funny to watch all long ! Good job and greetings from Switzerland ! =)
at minute 17:17 it looks like marinelord sees the vils on gold and ignores them while the knight mass is decentish. i know the army is valuable but is it worth killing the vils in that situation from his standpoint?
Losing that amount of knights in french mirror for a few vils is a bad idea, oppo will just immediately come to your eco with his knights and kill much more than those vils
Drongo: "Marine lord seems to be runing low on gold options in the late game,he is the one that should seriously consired trade." Drongo: "Lucifron is gonna be fine with gold here" (3 relics advantage,a sacred site and a guild haul): "Are we a joke to you?"
I'd love to see a piece of art depicting a victorious squad of archers/crossbowmen surrounded by dead enemies, all with with 20 bolts in each of their faces.
New to aoe. Victory conditions are destroy all landmarks, hold sacred sites, or defend wonder right? SPOILER----------------------------------- Did luciferon tap out at the end?

This game was incredible, but what makes this soooo much better is your commentary drongo. Best UA-cam channel ever
MarineLord had some insane raids WHILST the battle was raging on his base and his held. The tower rush on the farms was a genius move

this is the kind of game that makes me feel very humble. I will never have the brain power to compete on this level.

well noticed, Drongo missed out on that? So much going on...
could ya kindly explain to this noob how the game was lost?
@@whyno713 skip through the video a bit and focus on the right corner of the map in the last ~20 minutes - drongo was completely ignoring how much action was going on at the side.
I'm brand new and I'm a complete moron. How did the win happen? What win condition was it?
@@BRPerfections the win condition was a surrender caused by being unable to keep up unit production
I just see the length on the video and know it's gonna be a bonkers game..
Gonna save it for tonight before sleep lol
You make a good point but I can't wait untill tonight. I'm just going to watch it now, at work and keep an eye out for my boss😜🤪
by the end my heart was racing, great match!

@@MilesHoppus I meant the whole set.
Lucifron did everything well and didn't lose patience up until he got a keep in marine lord's base. (Got too excited maybe?) there, he over extended.
31:58 thats what we all love about this game
Watched this on my oculus and was smiling ear to ear from the commentator and gameplay. Then switched to my mobile cause I had to give you props. Great video!
I dont even play this game, but you, you are just awesome...
"Can I get that ding ding dong dong?"
Awesome man thanks for the laughs!!!
at like 25:00 I was like yeah seems like lucifron7 has got this gg
Then I realized the video is 56:39 long, wow what a match. 😄
Amazing commentary, I literally screamed at the end
This was fucking awesome! The shoutcasting ending in with voicecracks and all. B-E-A-UTIFUL.
Towers on the farms was enough for me to call this the best game ever. The rest was just OMFG
Fuckin epic. Love the gentlemens resource sharing while the trench warfare was going on in the middle. Absolutely fuckin epic battle.
The map at the end is really fireworks xD
THE best game i have ever seen! wow and u made it 10 times better with your amazing commentary :D
I absolutely love how they both played French, but in completely different ways. I didn't know who to root for since I like starcraft and warcraft. I do think it's funny seeing a player named after a starcraft unit vs a player named after a world of warcraft boss in an age of empires game.
marinelord was a starcraft pro
idk if you already are the AOE4 main caster, but you should be. the enthusiasm is just op
As a french myself i'm proud to say, the best player on this civ, is clearly marinelord, godam !
Amazing french mirror with an amazing cast from drongo.
Both players must have been absolutely drenched in sweat after this. I was on the edge of my seat watching it a few years after it took place.
That was the best game of Age 4 I've ever seen.
If you can dodge a French, you can dodge a ball.
😃
Bloody hell this was indeed epic. Loved the commentary too. Amazing watch!!
39:31 -2 wood huh?
54:00 sounds like a hockey fight haha
The only time I heard a commentator being more exited was an Argentinian guy in the world cup :-).
Goddammit Marinelord, i was rooting for him, i doubted him. Im sorry!! Okay! Never doubt again!
Ive seen so many games where dudes just quit at the first sign of a problem! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PLAYERS DONT QUIT!!!!!!
Absolutely crazy game. Incredible. Game 2 is gonna be lit.
around 54:28 ablue dot suddenly popped out of nowhere in the east corner then at 55:50 we see what defeated Lucifron
Keep up the awesome content mate
Damn a production tab would do wonders
that was really good game, lucifron army was better but marinelord has enough economic support and production building just right so he can defend his base indefinitely. To win, either you destroy the enemy's economy or production building. that was well played from Marinelord
Best Commentary I've ever heard in any event!!
I must admit the color look when to red and blue knights collide is great. red and blue are nice combination of colours :D
34:29 Have you seen that ludacris reference to the IT crowd?
I haven't played the game and don't know the rules but still love watching it! Can someone explain why Lucifron lost in the end instantly? I thought you have to kill enemy king or town hall to win the match or am I wrong?

24:17 gave a little bit of a jump scare haha
Hahahaha ! Incredible awesome commentary ! And you did alone, wich is crazy becuase the video was great and funny to watch all long !
Good job and greetings from Switzerland ! =)
small mistake, @ 8:42 you say no villagers go down although a single villager does go down to the double knight charge
thanks for the great casting none of the less!
I love how I recognise the gamers from SC2; esp as I don’t follow Aoe4 scene too much. Super cool!
Man I'm so glad I found your channel can't stop watching these
what a game ;-) we don't need cinemas or netflix anymore :-)
We just need good cast!

When the gate stops the wall you can just place new wall and it will fill the gap
what exactly happend at the end that Lucifron lost? I still dont get it
HOLY THAT WAS AMAZING! AND ITS THE FIRST GAME!
you're commentary is on point man loved every moment of it
55:53 LMAO, THAT WAS SOO HIGH PITCH
The tower rush on the farms was a 7head move
You say this is the best AoE4 match I'll ever see despite it not having any HRE in it. 😛
"best game of aoe4 you'll ever se"
*See's they are both French*
I see. They will both surrender.
Hahahahahahahaha SHOTS FIRED!
Drongo could narrate paint drying and make it awesome.
Oh my God, just look at that last bit in the middle drying! How the fuck does it evaporate like THAT! I can't beliiiieeve it!
this is absolutely mind blowing, keeps you on the edge throughout
One of the best videos I’ve ever watched
Drongo, you're a pro, mate.
Holy. Shit.
This match was just UNBELIEVABLE.
I could not make out at any moment who wS going to win. Absolutely mad!!!
Drongo: "Marine lord seems to be runing low on gold options in the late game,he is the one that should seriously consired trade."
Drongo: "Lucifron is gonna be fine with gold here"
(3 relics advantage,a sacred site and a guild haul): "Are we a joke to you?"
Fantastic casting as always
With a title like that, I'm locked in!
They should play more late game battles imo they're fun
Its the worst age in the game. Siege has ruined late game. This late game was amazing cause there was no siege spam.
Whatever you do Drongo, don’t stop being so critical in your casting. We all love hearing your critiques of top players 🧐
Tower rush Had me 😂
Heading into the mid game…@8:09 lol
Lol, Drongo did you make a "Ludicrous" reference to the "IT Crowd"?
I can't find whole series. Where can I watch it
love your exciting cast very much
Got so hyped i cant sleep now !
What is the state of the overlay?
You are the reason I just bought the game
I'd love to see a piece of art depicting a victorious squad of archers/crossbowmen surrounded by dead enemies, all with with 20 bolts in each of their faces.
That one was wild.
Can someone please explain the ending...
New to aoe. Victory conditions are destroy all landmarks, hold sacred sites, or defend wonder right?
SPOILER-----------------------------------
Did luciferon tap out at the end?
@@108anup Yeah lucifron surrendered. It's usually good manner in rts games to surrender when it's obvious it's over.
Woww that was insane haha thats awesome
It was a good joke, Drongo, indeed.
rip Headphones 2019-2022 @ 55:30
bro u do a great job
Why did his pop went down to 140? Still new to the game
WOW MARINELORD IS AMAZING FOR HOLDING ON TO THAT GAME!!
For a mirror this game is really good
You are the best Aussie
Wtf AN HOUR? Cant wait to see this xD
12:10 IF ONLY HE KNEW
Your game commentation is so fucking great!
*Holy shit, what a ride*
24:55 lol
wtf happened in the end?
What a game!
casting is better than the game no cap
Hellooo Drongos mom!
What the -----
I thought there would be more Mangos...
I bet Lucifron feels as snaggled as a wombat's tonker. Epic game. So when is Marinlords internet connection getting nerfed?
I agree. This is The Best Game Of AoE4 I Have Ever Seen.
