0:37 Imagine being a Parent, watching a live where ur son can win 3000$ in a Video game, and the moderator just flashes you with his Tiger I. Peak comedy ladies and gentelmen.
@Ralph28 couldnt have contested sadly, japan navy was completely dead and he was all of our airforce too. as soon as he capped, we could only work on land meaning we could only fight Team USSR and Team Italy. - Markoni
watched this live. nayf on the soviet union gave the greatest performance i have ever seen in hoi4. fought against the world and held the line through it all
@@philipkoch7570 Italy was a bit n India too. Japan was really weak after capping, Indonesia was naval invasions. Dankus did really good tho imo for what he had to do, like he did good 100%, hes getting too much shit from everyone. Was rlly fun tho - Markoni
Not sure why Dankus was fighting the Soviets and China was fighting Dankus. They should have all gone in a shadow alliance and fought the US. That's the most logical solution in my mind. Italy, the USSR, China, India, and Turkey should be enough to at least get close to the US and they are playing for money after all. The situation was an obvious US win.
Agreed, but as soon as India attacked me (China), there's nothing for me to do. We tried negotiating with them and they didnt wanna give up Chinese cores that India had, so that was it. Japanese navy was completely destroyed and lost most of his airforce when capping. Team Japan could have only fought on land after that and it was on Team Italy to call the alliance, because we were willing, but they didnt wanna give up Chinese cores when we were negotiating. - Markoni
@@TommyKay who was the italy player? Possibly the worst hoi4 player of all time. Litterally just ruined the game for everyone. Invaded his ally only to cap them, then get capped himself because of it, italy telling his team not to fight America but fight china and germany while germany can barely take on ussr much less usa. Braindead
@@nickxcaliber7991 Hes just the major of their team not their boss lol. most likely Dankus as India didn't want to give up his cores. Besides, Germany was looking pretty good at that point. They couldnt see his logistics. Tommy thought the major war was going to be German-American.
Wow, a good player with that huge country isolated from threats, with tons of resources, manpower and a massive fleet won? Who would have thought, it even seems like he played with the greatest economic and military power in the world
I know France has a reputation for losing quickly, but that's maybe the quickest I've seen them get absolutely wrecked - and through the Maginot no less. What did he think he was doing?
it honestly was a 3 v 1 between indo, china, and the rest of japan, basically if the US was balanced in a way that they had to go to capitulate jap it coulve ended fine
@@nadri3335 tbf japan was rlly weak, he lost most of his stuff after capping, had no navy. indonesia was kind of weak too, could only do spammy naval invasions. it wasnt that unbalanced as you think, when you account for skill level. dankus did good tho idk why ppl go too hard on him
@MarkAntony_1 Well that's a bit lot. He just made a wrong decision. Recruiting a player that doesnt have a time to end the game. So i'm not hating but this happened before. When you play for big money like this nothing is more inportant than the game. If you know you have some other responsabilities dont join game of this size and inportance.
@@fireironthesecond2909 Yes but you have to focus against them no? you can't just sacrifice years to kill the usa player every game and they get infinite manpower and a huge ass industry in the span of 5 years. They literally were OP and unbeatable irl too at one point lol
Honestly i love the "great game" so much, alot more than those 1v1 competetive mod turnaments. Shadow factions, different focus trees, comletely different regions. Its alot more interesting and i wish we saw more than one a year
it actually is. like any other nation has to worry about multiple fronts on the homeland. America has two oceans. he was also the first in and that was his choice for that reason.
UK faction definitely shit the bed which made the steamroll possible, but I also agree they’re maybe a little too strong. Who would be the alternative New World power tho?
@Kodiakengineer As true as this statement is, UK has never been able to fight the usa in any of tommys tournament games lol, its been a hard stomp every time for the uk.
I miss the times when grisha and dankus was fighting each other as the top 1 hoi4 esport player but then 4D arrives and completely crushed both of them
Hey Tommy have you heard of the legacy of valyria? It's a submod for AGOT that adds Braavos, Dothraki and the slaver's bay (Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor area)
I watched almost all the live, it was hella good, but this video... Marconi made a masterpiece once again! And TBH the whole thing feels kinda different.
16:30 Bruh that UK player screaming USA exploiting while you show his stream clicking the Western approaches tile AFTER USA already invaded is comedy gold but also sad. He was trying to cover up his massive mistake by calling out a patched exploit.
35:02 When the crime is small, but you can't actually find a good punishment for it. Also, I'm quite confused on what exactly happened but I have a huge respect for russia. That seemed rough man. It felt like they had to fight every faction one after another.
I was rooting for no one in particular (maybe the Italy faction a tiny bit, because they appeared to be the weakest nations), but after the US didn't pick the research slot I just had to root for Segl.
To those who didnt watch it, the stream was 2hs gameplay and 6hs of rule discussing
i just loved my kind (autistic hoi4 players) talking about the rules, gameplays was just an extra for me.
yeah i stopped watching because rules were very unclear kept getting changed along the way
@@alperen0658 Not every hoi4 player (me) plays multiplayer and rambles on about rules and rule breaks (In other words, restricting fun)

Honestly W for Markoni, that U.S.A. D-day was like 24 coastal tiles, man was fighting for his life

I’ll be real tho it was kinda a throw because not contesting US faction for anything led to them eventually losing

you know they lose veterancy when converted?
@@nicestorm1425 can easily be exploited
@@aguy3664 okay how
@@aguy3664 elaborate for a noob
@@nicestorm1425 They also lose billions of Tanks when you have 25% reliability, and under-equipped units perform terribly.
I think we can say that while the US won officially, the soviets won our hearts
Markoni surviving and pretty much killing dankus was insane
to be fair, dankus was India fighting China, Japan and Indonesia.
But that Naval invasion hold was incredible from Markoni.

W for having DanTDM as Soviet union
UK has never been able to fight the usa in any of these tommy tournament games lol, its been a hard stomp every time for the uk feels bad.
It’s an easy fix as well
Just put the main fleet on raiding or separate the subs and use those
true
The random battle royale world map format is the most fun
But definitely need some balancing to make it more fair/equal it seems
This is my favorite style of the great game love this
How dare youtube show me this after only 2 hours, all my Tommy Kay videos I watch must be ATLEAST 1 year old
Waiter waiter, more Alexander Kolchak broken tank division!!!

Dude, this part here with the ending just broke me
I know France has a reputation for losing quickly, but that's maybe the quickest I've seen them get absolutely wrecked - and through the Maginot no less. What did he think he was doing?
Been waiting on this
Dankus losing to markoni is so jover
it honestly was a 3 v 1 between indo, china, and the rest of japan, basically if the US was balanced in a way that they had to go to capitulate jap it coulve ended fine
@@nadri3335 tbf japan was rlly weak, he lost most of his stuff after capping, had no navy.
indonesia was kind of weak too, could only do spammy naval invasions.
it wasnt that unbalanced as you think, when you account for skill level.
dankus did good tho idk why ppl go too hard on him
What a shit end....
Fr. Feel let down tbh
yeah feels very unfair us just had so much advantage
thats because tommykay acts like a child while also knowing nothing about hoi4
@MarkAntony_1

Thank you again tommy for letting me co cast with you
really fun tournament, I enjoyed it a lot
Markoni being the Hero we need as always, proving us UA-cam boys proud once again!
LETS GOOO
Yeah playing as the US is such a cheat code.
To be fair the US starts very weak so if the major war could start earlier than 39 then the US might be beatable
@@fireironthesecond2909I remember when the old strat for Mexico was to declare war on the US asap and rush them with cavalry. Good times
@@fireironthesecond2909 Yes but you have to focus against them no? you can't just sacrifice years to kill the usa player every game and they get infinite manpower and a huge ass industry in the span of 5 years. They literally were OP and unbeatable irl too at one point lol
@ well it’s the biggest industry in the game. If Britain took it asap and had full collabs they’d probably have the strongest industry by far
@@fireironthesecond2909 i dont think it was allowed to early war
tommy you little leprechaun
After watching it’s a bit meh that us won I mean who would of guessed

Gotta love them tournements
One of the best videos ever ! Nice Tommy.
This muppet is killing himself got me wheezing
ive been waiting so long for this vid
USA is just too OP for the such games :/
it actually is. like any other nation has to worry about multiple fronts on the homeland. America has two oceans. he was also the first in and that was his choice for that reason.
@@internethardcasetbf if uk faction didn't fuck up usa probably would have had a much harder time

@Kodiakengineer As true as this statement is, UK has never been able to fight the usa in any of tommys tournament games lol, its been a hard stomp every time for the uk.
The US isnt OP but them capping the UK immediately won them the game. Good luck getting naval supremacy anywhere after that
When the EDITOR becomes the STREAMER! LONG LIVE MARKONI!
Good to see Dankus playing like trash as usual.
Massive W for Markoni.
I just like watching little Dankus failing as usual.
Please do this again but just for fun. No money necessary. This is such a great format.
They said no fighting before 1939, nine months later in they are all in a grand assault in Spain
The Tournaments are what I live for baby, Thanks Tommy.
For next one put 2 players on majors
I miss the times when grisha and dankus was fighting each other as the top 1 hoi4 esport player but then 4D arrives and completely crushed both of them
Crazy how different the community team for hoi4 handles the community compared to ck3. It also shows in the player numbers.
This was fun to watch! More please
tommy can't even let other players finish their campaigns
Markoni made the youtube boys proud
Awesome game style, please do more of these!

Whats the mod used? also this is insane best multiplayer vid ive seen
