Guys grab your latest 'BlueCoffee's guide to strategy and international conflict' books. Caesar gave it a 5/5 and Napoleon commented that it is 'The best naval tactic since 1805'.
Blue Coffee kind of had this in the bag. He had very few weaknesses. Basically he was so spread out that he did not act as a threat to anyone as he collected his resources, created big buffers with the really smart players (MBL) and created pockets of "guerrilla" units to snipe. He knew that everyone was disorganized, while he was completely focused. His King was safe, his economy could not be hit simultaneously by multiple parties (as he was ally with everyone) and he took his time. He eliminated the only real threat (as everyone was too busy fighting for no reason) and when the relic victory came along - he had the same epiphany that T90 and Red had: It's on Standard. I'm pretty sure that he also saw the expert pilgrims where Viper just wiped out the map, but still lost, because he could not gain access on water. I think it's the reason why at the very beginning, he just wanted to take control of the islands. Had it not been standard, I bet he would have used his soft skills for persuading a still-alive player on the mainland to trade via cogs. Another thing that he would have tried would to use Celt siege and elite petards to snipe mainland kings - but it was contingent on a lot more stuff. In the end - the moment MBL got sniped, the game was pretty much over - since the other players were still too disorganized and playing to enjoy the battles instead of aiming for the overall victory. So you would not have gotten them to rally against Blue Coffee at that point. I think only a few more professional players would have instinctively realized what Blue Coffee was doing and decide to ally the mainland against him. All in all - one of the best games that I have ever seen. Kudos to T90 for hosting it and the entire community for being so absolutely ridiculous sometimes.
Yup, he's like Sun Zhu in these games. The enemies never see his true plans or his strength and are therefore unable to see which actions might lead to their demise.
When blue coffee's wonder went up, but he didn't kill the monastery, I realized how devious he was. He didn't kill it because he wanted red and green to fight purple, buying him even more time. L.E.G.E.N.D.
Blue coffee purposefully loses vills to wolves so he looks weak, then backstabs one of the best players in the world - meanwhile allowing purple to get the relics without feeling any pressure so as to finish with a wonder win. It's all part of the plan.
Sniped a world top 10 player in 10 seconds, manipulated green to breaking his longtime alliance with red, thus knocking out green's wonder with red's trebs. Then he parks his petards right under purple, effectively holding purple hostage and preventing him from even thinking of betraying. Green realizes this so he trebs those monasteries himself. But all this gives time for Blue Coffee to finish his wonder, delete his villagers, and lock down the seas. Red green and purple finally unite to face the threat. But they are all low on gold, wasted pop space on huge land armies, have villagers, and can't get docks up. Blue Coffee, the legend, forces THREE players into a suicide pact. AFTER outright killing one of the world's best players early in the game.
And the best thing is. I honestly think it was all intentional! Man read the game like a picture book and just TOYED with them all XD ahahahah what an absolute hero. I haven't been as entertained by an AOC player since I found The Viper! I want these two to play together they'd have such a laugh
Holy shit, Bluecoffe's strength really is diplo . The Relic petard hostage situation was brilliant, interdicting any possibility of alliance between purple and the rest, they had to keep fighting him or he could relic win. Chess master haha.
I swear, all those community games that aren't king of the hill should be on standard, because the games that come out of it are just the most epic ever Blue Coffee, the fricking legend I'm always cheering up for him, the shenanigans master
He cant win like that he's using the power of being weak in early game. He alreadyy have a bad reputation and if he takes the lead early, game goes 1 vs 7 and he loses
Blue coffee has his own civ called twitch. +500 iq in feudal. Team bonus + 500 salt in imperial age. Builds walls 50% faster. Gain 50 gold every time you 11 and say “just passing” in chat
Everything about this game was just perfect. The early game wolves, the mid game king snipes and the realization that it was standard, the trolling, and the ending was perfect too. Going to tell my grandkids about this one when I'm 80. Edit: Elite Petard spam was glorious, too. Seriously, bless these players and this match. RIP Benflip, the only one who was spared from watching Blue Coffee become a tyrant and crush all hope.

@@malenkas3Many legends have come and gone since blue_coffee and a lot of them are highly entertaning as well, but blue_coffee seriously is the biggest legend of them all.
Blue coffee is truly a legend... that strategy is just insane. He had all islands under control, half the shoreline he saw and was protected by dead mbl, half of what was left was forest, he just had to control 4 openings and prevent docks from being built. Perfect.
I miss community games with spec chat on UA-cam. So I came back to this pure piece of gold. I can't believe there was "only" around 850 people tuned in on Twitch when T90 streamed back then!... The growth of his channel in about two years has been amazing.
hey t90 when uploading to youtube do you think you could edit in a instant replay for when you miss a kings death? i understand its hard to watch all of them when casting but maybe if possible in post edit in the 5 seconds before a king snipe as a replay
Best AoE2 suicide pact ever! Also, you'd think that with a reputation based on soft skills (diplo) that by this point everyone would have wised up to Blue Coffee's antics...
What about the suicide pact theViper made in that one game... I think it was with DauT... they actually had onagers and got it done right... I think that was the best suicide pact.
I have almost unlimited respect for Blue Coffee. He is like TheViper or TheMax but instead of gaming skills it is in terms of tactical skill and diplomacy, but he is also not bad at all at playing the game himself. For me, he is more praise worthy than any other top ranked player. He can play, and also affect the game with words and strategies that seem out of the norm, but are highly effective. Every game he is in is entertaining as hell. He truly is the legend of AoE.

Holy crap T90! I am an old school AOE2 player (when it originally was released!) and just subscribed your channel last week after watching the last 2 weeks and you are already up over 7k subscribers since then. Keep on keeping on!
you know, its kinda new thing - suicide pact: take 2 allied kings, wall them with 2 players walls, and make towers outside. So when one player change stance, another changes and they both die.
How could you miss me (FrancisJAM) almost killing blue coffee in the first 2 min of the game! Why T90, why did you miss that part! (we were on the same starting island)
I also was going to use demos to kill blue coffee's tc (which had his king in) but then he moved the king inland. I got sad. You can see the "wtf" in chat of blue coffee at the start and when I died because of what I was doing =P
Man, that is Machievelian genius leaving the petards out keeping monastery hostage. As long as the relic victory is ticking down none of the players can effectively be comfortable working together and all that time that looks like it's going to purples victory is going to his, as long as he remains vigilant. By not pulling the trigger green and red think that purple is who they should go after preventing a 3v1. What a legend, make him a brigadier general.
54:58 ... love this voice change :-D we know what blue is capable to do... again, great game, great commentary, great trash talks... this may lights up someone day. :-)
That elite petard-monastery hostage situation was perfect and shows he doesn't necessarily need the chat for his strats. It's a good thing that he doesn't play regularly.
Man, this game was fucking hilarious. I love the randomness of these community games - especially that all the players obviously are just having fun. Doing their best of course but nok taking it all so serious. Really an enjoyful watch - would love to see all the players play again.
Blue_Coffee was so unbelievably dominant in this game. Even with MBL pushing on land, most of his eco and building was still out on islands anyway. He played the whole game smart from start to finish.
In the beginning of this game, Blue Coffee was 'just walling' nothing to see here MBL. I'd be curious to rewatch this from just Blue Coffee's view, especially to see that MBL snipe. That was fantastic - perfect execution

Agreed, it's so much more creative and interesting than a typical game.
Imagine a BlueCoffee with the skill of MBL. That creature would be unbeatable in community games and force the forfeit on 1v1 by sheer talking.
i think for blue coffe to be blue coffe he needs to play early and mid game as a weak player, otherwise there is no strategy.
He cant win like that he's using the power of being weak in early game. He alreadyy have a bad reputation and if he takes the lead early, game goes 1 vs 7 and he loses

Blue encourage everyone to fight and prevent countdown all the while plotting his victory. A bit like England isn't it.
Also, plants his flag on every island he comes to.
