- It's time for the 2021 Christmas Tournament! The first double elimination event of the season!
//NOTE ABOUT THE GRAND FINALS
The winner's bracket winner actually started the grand final with a 1 point advantage, rather than a second series. This was a change on the day that I was unaware of and so the score doesn't reflect that.

Wow, I've never seen another player use WALLS so successfully. Zugspitze defends his base, blocks multigunner-turrets, splits armies, blocks entrances and prevents enemy MCV from unpacking with it. Very inventive guy, I'm seriously impressed. Even more satisfying to see it counter those MCV pushes. Absolutely deserved win!
I like that DutchArmy play into the Armor Facility more often than an average allies player would
I think that's one of the his advantages of playing allies where everyone would expect cryo or turret pushes he can go off and play the longer game
Merry Christmas Sybert your uploads have always bring me joy. I've been a fan of you ever since you took a brake! Thank you for keeping ra3 alive!
Merry Christmas!
*your uploads
Hate me later
Wow, I think the best move of this whole video was Dimon using Corrosion on the Sickle to kill those Tank busters.
Always nice to see the villain faction of RA3 being defeated, Zugspitze has saved xmas. Good games, great commentary, Sybert! I hope you and your family have a happy new year.
I could watch Zugspitze vs Dimon all day long, amazing
cybert is a legend, His commentaries are on a different level, plus keeping the game alive and going, much love from us to you bro
Agreed!
A Christmas 2-hour video from Sybert. Excellent way to start the holiday. Thanks, Sybert!
Aww man this is a nice little treat for Christmas, thanks Sybert and thanks to those who organised the competition.
Rageofheat did, as always :). It was so nice to see so many people, so much competition and a nice prize pool.
Merry Christmas! Wish you Sybert remain interested iin C&C universe, you're awesome caster and make huge impact on community overall
Merry Christmas!
2022 will probably have fewer videos overall, but I'm planning on continuing if I can. There are a couple of really big projects coming up and if they go through I'll be gone for months at a time, so it's possible there will be dormant periods in the next year.
Wall segments, the best kind of armor.
This was such an incredible series! I'd even go as far as to call it the series of the year. The suspense, the action, SEVERAL amazing offsets. What a player, what a series!
Thanks for rounding out Christmas with another great video keep up the good work!
Merry Christmas Sybert ! Keep on uploading those vids, you are awesome
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Sybert. Thank you for helping to keep command and conquer alive
Merry Christmas Doggo!
I'm really really liking these Allied armour plays, it's so cool to see!
And the crazy walls, this is so awesome!
Merry Christmas and thank you Sybert. Your videos brought me back to RA3, which has been my favorite game since 10 years ago. And it’s something special to see people from different countries enjoying the game together.
Thanks for this Christmas gift, Sybert 🙂
Wishing everyone here a wonderful & merry Christmas. Hope you are safe, healthy and doing well.
Merry Christmas!
This tournament was the definition of a christmas miracle.
Happy holidays! Have checked out first 3 series and they did deliver.
ooho what a christmas gift !! 160 min of action, thank you sybert
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Thank you for this amazing Christmas present and everyone that played! we have seen so many clutch plays down to the wire. I loved it!
Merry Christmas Proton!
Great cast man. Excellent win for the winner (no spoilers). He played very well. Merry Christmas Everyone :) !
Zug was very impressive with the unit control and he has surpassed wallswag with his patented Great Wall strategy of walling during combat, also props to Sybert for finding the time for constant uploads as a family man during christmas.
He is a Chinese player, they certainly know how to build walls
It feels so satisfying to see cryo rush getting crushed.. by infantry that can't even attack the sky
lol
Oh boy, almost 3 hours of Red alert, somebody will not sleep tonight. I raise this mug of coffee for you Cybert!
I can't believe the way Dimon lost I waited for the come back but didn't happen. Zugspitze played so well, congrats
I've never played RD3, never watched any content of it, but for some reason your videos are getting recommended to me, and I am loving it.
Glad you’re enjoying it!
Wow, just wow!!! This is better than the Christmas Eve itself.
Gotta love Zug
THE WALL CHEESE ARE JUST ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS
Games with Dimon always interesting! Dimon in masses!
Nice video ! Keep it up Sybert 🔥🙏🏻❤️
Sybert hello ! Thanks for your content RA3) i'm fan of your channel. Merry Christmas))
Merry Christmas!
Shugspitsa played excellent, probably the strongest Japanese who can be found in our time, and how he blocked push notifications and MSCs with walls, it was just gorgeous ...
Bro just type in Russian in the comment section, UA-cam translate will do the job for u. Google translate is pretty sloppy
Zugspitze is a Chinese player whose main faction is Empire
WOOHOO New Maps! Edit: and Hard Lesson, that one was one of my favorites, I had wondered where it went.
love to see that command posts are getting some play in this game.
Merry Christmas Sybert!
Merry Christmas, Samuel!
Once again, Dimon sold MCV - Dimon lost the game. That was clearly a move that got him to the loss. He needed expansions, he needed T3 and his own arty but that did not happen. Still a brilliant player, but sometimes he takes a risk that is not needed. Props to Zugspitze, haven't seen that guy for a long time. And two great games that were put. Awesome!
Всем привет! Супер матчи, спасибо автору и игрокам, новая звезда этот мистер Z, болел за Димоооооона, ждём новых противостояний, всем добра и мира!
woooow this tournament was crazy this chinese player is rly dangerous i loved his play
Zugspitze games are so intense and fun what a great player
Merry Christmas Sybert! :)
Merry Christmas!
@@OneSybert :)
Great upload here, thanks a lot
That dimon vs zugspitze game 2 was epic that defend by zugs man
I need to make a statement:
I am watching this channel for maybe a few months, and by watching RA3 games I've made a few opinions/thoughts about the factions, players, playstyles etc.
A lot of it changed after watching this tournament. To be honest I didn't like Zugspitze before, and I need to apologize him. He earned a TON of my respect after this series, by showing his skills and hard will in the games. I thought that Empire is as broken as Allies in terms of gameplay, and he showed me how much wrong I was. This series really shows how STUPID Allies advantage is, and how effective their attacks are with almost NO ECO. GG's to Dimon and Zugspitze for showing us great plays!
I don't really know about Pro rules, Tournament rules or Metas, but might have putting turrets next to the refineries stopped the Tengus getting easy kills? They seemed to harass the miners unopposed. And sending your MCV to the front line, isn't that incredibly risky?
Again, I don't know about the professional scene, so I may be missing a lot of rules, setting and what have you!
(Sending a lone dog when the barracks was surrounded by Tengus?)
Чудова гра.Сайберт дякую))
Ah man, I'm getting wound up watching Dimon hitting his head against Zugspitze, especially since he's probably the only chance of breaking Andrey. Just hold off the attack and bring some V4's. Don't throw the MCV away take more refineries and harass him. That Syckle corrosive bomb was amazing though.
Edit: Congrats to Zurgs coming back to beat Andrey, nicely done
I'm sorry man, I'm also upset with my game :(
@@dmitryn4869 Ahh, just love to see you win man! You have the best games.
@@dmitryn4869 1:53:42 - Димон, а можно узнать экспертное мнение. А было возможным закрепиться на этой позиции и захватить месторождение справа? Затем попробовать развиться играя в долгую и задавить соперника измором. Или это было невозможно экономически?
@@iblcigriga2759 можно было и так, можно было так как играл я, только качественно, можно по разному. Можно было отрезать ему 3ю рефу, убрать нефть и делать что хочу на лучшей экономике и контроле карты. Очень слабая игра с моей стороны.
@@dmitryn4869 Интересно было бы увидеть тот вариант игры потому, что я честно не уверен в советах, как во фракции, даже в долгой игре. С точки зрения шоу все любят смотреть на них, это понятно, но с точки зрения практичности они явно уступают другим сторонам. Видел не одну твою игру за советов, и не важно проигрывал ты или выигрывал, было видно что выкладываться приходится процентов на 10-15% больше, чем соперник.
Андрей тоже например применял тактику раша против Империи (Цужспитце) и у Альянса все заходило куда проще из-за их мобильности и способностей.
Но гг в любом случае. Вы лабаете круто.
Merry Christmas Sybert! 😁
Merry Christmas Vitoco!
Good casting nice production quality too
Merry Xmas to everyone watching this channel.Awesome games.That said I think the Soviet player played weaker as usual,or maybe his MCV pathfinding glitched on walls.
Wow this looks better than regular RA3, what was used to make it look spiffy?
Finals brutal
Hats off to Zugspitze, he was playing lights out! Thanks for the great cast as always, Sybert
no one:
dimon: resigns
Lekker hoor DutchArmy. Hoop eigenlijk wel dat er een red alert 4 komt.
I really enjoy watching Zug vs Dimon as much as Dimon vs DDF. I can really imagine Dimon cursed under his breath from Zug's awesome wall strat 😂
The allies seem so op.
Zugspitze playing at another level against Dimon. I've watched a lot of his games on this channel, but I don't remember him ever using walls so effectively before.
I was annoyed at first coz that's such a bullshit
Zugspitze is a fun word to say
I was rooting for Zugs the whole time
May i ask, who techically won?
SPOILERS
Zug, instead of playing an extended series they played with Andery starting with a 1 point advantage. I didn't know that unitl after the series so I left the score as I thought it was when I was editing.
so much mircro going on that Empire player
Where are the tournament sign ups posted?
At some point Sybert looses it and calls Zugspitze, Zugpizza and then Sucukpizza.
I feel like Zugspitze maining Protoss in SC2
1:34:12 that felt bad so much 😢
1:34:17 Never cheese with the cheese build :P
Well played by Zugspitze there, especially the Dimon games and the 1st game against Andrey, those were amazing
Love to see him destroying the cryo-rushes in the finals tho! It is so satisfying to see that happen
Where did he get this replay, was this replay like old?
These games were played on Dec 18 2021, so they were only 6 days old when this video was published.
There are still people playing RA3 and new tournaments every month. It's not a lot of people, but there's still a community.
@@OneSybert damn thats great, i still play red alert everyday, i dont know that there’s still a community, im kinda glad because this is my favorite game, i just cant figure out how to play online tho, anyway keep up those high quality videos ❤️
how is Zugspitze making his tengus instantly spin like that? I have never seen it used before except by him
Apparently it's an animation cancel. You can do the same thing with other units, but it has apparently been deemed a game breaking bug and banned from future tournaments because of these games.
@@OneSybert was happy that a new face won the tournament but sadly this means it was sort of illegitimate if that's the case :/
so many tengu engagements went way better than expected cause of it
Merry Christmas sybert. Are you gonna do anymore you vs bots any time soon?
Merry Christmas not corgi!
No plans right now, but maybe.
Still good to see red alert being played in 2021. Such an underrated game. Big potential but they never took it further.
I've been watching these videos for a while and to be honest even though Dimon is one of the best if not the best, the fact that he refuses to go tier 3 and get some artillery pisses me off lol. He could win against zugspitze really easily if he pumped out some v4 artillery and kept a defensive stance instead of constantly trying to push and win. It was great to watch, though.
Аднрюха , я за тебя кулачки держал💪
That lower bracket lose by dimon he shouldve gone for air like nevercheese did. Ggwp that wall strat genius
Early Squad assemble!
Here!
man, allies need a huge fucking nerf
Holy Scholy Smoly, Zugspitze rarely prepping for RA3, yet he joined the Tournament and doing this to other players ? @@
The joker's beeing playing Team Fight Tactics recently instead of RA3.
A merry red christmast for everyone in the Soviet Union
Am I the only one who thinks standard AvE is boring? I don't really enjoy constant air jousting between mass Tengu and Apollo/Vindicator all that much.
Zugspitze = master tacticial
can i have link to get those maps?
They're a part of the 1.12.6 bug fix patch.
www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=1004431
There's a new version (1.12.8) coming soon.
@@OneSybert much appreciated! I love ur casting, without you this best game is dead! ( And ofc the players at the high lvl)
Wait a second... Do we get sc2 commentaries next year? :D
get some toss action lul
I have been thinking about getting back into SC2. I used to cast SC2 2014-2016 and I do miss it.
@@OneSybert Wait a second, you had sc2 content in this channel? Then I must have missed it.
And yea that could be cool. But just more generals content is also fine. Recently we go way too much tiberium and red alert imo
No, not on this channel.
I've done some work for SC2HL (most recently The Kings series from last year) and I casted for ASL and with feardragon for some of his stuff.
I wish red alert 3 got remastered..
It's almost like he always cheeses.
allies OP
why do pro players never ever use sputnik or prospectors actively for expansion i wonder...
especially for allies, where moving the mcv means a total stop for production of higher tier units
Zug basically let thise guys tire themselves out then KO’ed them
Andrey pulls some beautiful fights at the beginning, then resort to all cyro-turret push at the grand final? (Which is hilarious to watch btw)
What a series. Zugspitze is really really deserved the championship.
Zugspitze used a not allowed Tangu BUG in the Games...Dimon has pointed that out in his games... the Tangus dont fly a curve they switch 180° to have an advantage over Apollos...but sill a great Wall strat. to push de ground play
To claim that Zug only won because of that is silly. I could abuse that same "bug" and I wouldn't beat Dimon.
Don't get me wrong, he would have won clearly even without the rule violation because he was simply better but rules are rules and he did it in every game...but so what?
Class Games Class Commentator
Ahhh, sorry I was reading into your comment a little.
To be fair it wasn't banned when this was played. I'm a little on the outside of all this but I'm not convinced that this is a game breaking bug that should be banned.
Zugspitzääää XD
51:07 maybe because dimon sold his mcv 🤷
dimon,andrei
аххааххахахаха ) Русские даже тут)
1:59:14 Zugspitze using a banned bug/exploit, instant reversing of jet tengus...
And again, pretty crucially, at 2:32:10
@@Rbum4 yeah how he does this?
These games show how broken the game is. The factions have too different possibilities. Soviet side is useless. And Alliance can strangle the opponent at the beginning of the game.
Dimon would have a chance if mcv not at front. Sorry but i see mcv at front foolish. We have less expensive options.
Edit. Andries stop the cryo rush it clearly doesn't work.
Dimon is very good at using his MCV as a battering ram that can absorb damage from enemy tanks to protect his own tanks/infantry from being targeted down
@@has199 not worth it
@@paulrasmussen8953 while it may not show here. Dimon is very good at using his mcv this way
@@has199 between Dimon and Andries i say no. This is jot a good strat
@@paulrasmussen8953 I mean Dimon has probably been one of the best RA3 players over the last few years. I think he knows how to play more than either of us
Allied mirrors? Zzz
Sadly this was a waste of time. Still, big thanks for the players and organizers and Sybert for casting.
Dimon was awful in this game, as compared to his usual performance.
Because you can play soviets only for fun. You won't do anything against strong players.
I personally think Bug alert 3 has an unbalanced setting: soviet > allies > empire > soviet. The empire faction has the units with most mobility. To exploit this, empire player can always choose large maps and hence its opponent can not easily move its forces both defensively and offensively. Whatever its opponent does, empire player can always change its move accordingly: if its opponent moves offensively, can just send some tangos and vx to its opponent's base to make economical harassment; If its opponent moves defensively, strategy is even easier, namely just tech up and expand. Soviet can expand quicker but in larger maps it is not easy to guard the infrastructure because hammer tanks are unable to move to the water and twin frog combo shows a less efficient exchange rate while encountering with vx and tango combo. Soviet's strength is hammer tanks and terror drones but they are not enough to balance out the disadvantages in terms of mobility while encountering with empire.
Allies have advantages while encountering with empire but that is only true when the map is small. Because allies heavily relies on MCV and show worst expanding capabilities. Even though its Apollo and vindicator combo air superiority is far more efficient vs tango and vx combo, they are quite low in mobility because they have to refuel and reload ammo every time. Empire player can easily tickle this by simply spamming tangos and expand.
What I want to see from the game is techniques( unit control and so on) rather than tricks ( to choose a map that is in favour of own faction and play with this advantage)
Therefore, I think the most fair way to set the match is choose some maps that are in favour neither factions. I personally think infinity isle is the most fair map since it is perfectly symmetric and is in perfect size, neither too big nor too small.
I watched the video and have noticed many strong features and techniques. Thank you casting this video and merry Christmas.
This is just my opinion. I am sorry if I have offended anyone by that.
what are you smoking? Name a map that's smaller than infinity isle? Or name a played map that isn't symmetric? There are none.
You have a point that RA3 isn't balanced properly and that certain maps favor certain factions, but you completely lost me in the end there.
