Liereyy takes the win against Sebastian, qualifying for playoffs!
by Astinox 4 months agoAfter his convincing 3-0 series yesterday, Liereyy is set to get into day 2. However, the series between Sebastian and Viper yesterday was also one of the major and most fun ones to watch. Based on their form today, both players have the option to take todays game home.
Blue Wells
Both players are walling up and going for a rather defensive approach, compared to previous games we have seen. Liereyy is trying to control the outside water area, while Sebastian puts more focus on the ponds.
Rocket Carts from Liereyy pushed back Sebastians infantry. Sebastian puts monks into the mix now as well. Both players are straight on their way to boom behind their eco, 100 eco on both sides, and Liereyy went straight into Imperial Age.
After all of the fights were won by Liereyy and he reached Imperial Age, Sebastian called the GG. 1-0 for Liereyy.

Sebastian turns the tables for this match, utilizing an early push towards Liereyy. However, as often seen by other vitality players, they tend to wall extremely early. Same for Liereyy. Both players fight with an even Skirmisher/Scout combo against each other.
However, Sebastian completely fully produced into scouts leading into a 15 scout rush. Both players still in Feudal. The rush costed Liereyy his food bushes, leading to an early GG after 12:13 ingame time. That's a 1-1, and a quick one!
Dorothea Quarry
Both players are going went for aggression in the water, trying to get the upper hand. Sebastian managed to win that fight, getting the additional eco from fishing ships. Both players are raiding each other during that. Liereyy went extremely fast into Castle Age in return. Liereyy also managed to take away water control by stacking units in his dock and spawning a bunch of Hulks at the same time to get rid of the enemies Galleys.
At the point where Sebastian got to Castle Age, Liereyy already pushed with 10 Cavalary Archers into his base, killing 9 villagers. He managed to push further, keeping up the pressure resulting in a total of 17 villager deaths, falling behind almost 20 leading into a GG from Sebastian. Great utilization of the early castle age!
Vulpine
Unconvential opening with Eagle Warriors by Sebastian instead of the default skirmisher/crossbow opening we have seen. The game slowed down after as both players transitioned into castle age. Cavalary archers for Liereyy against eagle warriors is now the new default.
Both players kept raiding each other, but most aggression came from Sebastian pushing into Liereyys base. Liereyy managed to mass CA's now with over 20 pushing toward Sebastians base. An additional push by Sebastian at the same time killed 18 villagers in Liereyys base, constant back and forth. 22 minutes, 35 eco for both.
At this point, both player bases essentially look like early feudal age while both having a mass of roughly 30 military. Evened out. Both players killing each other economies. Both players now with 20 villagers. While it was close, Liereyy managed to come back with his massed cavalary archers and finally end the game, ending it with 3-1 for Liereyy.
