Recommended Replay: Alarak vs BIKERUSHOWNZ

After the recent interview with Alarak, I now bring you some videos with games from him. I asked him to upload these games specifically to his YouTube channel (please subscribe to make Alarak upload more great games!).


Why did I like this particular match so much?

  1. Both players are very strong and known for precise control and multitasking
    • Bikerush has a >90% winrate with decks of a similar structure (dogs, pitbull, grenadier forming the core, MG or sniper being an anti-infantry option, and some other units like here Slingshot and Titan)
    • Alarak is a strong tournament player and can be regularly found in the Nod Top 10. In this game, he also needs to fight against higher levels on some key units.
  2. The decks are very asymmetric and not that standard (Grenadiers don't see much use)
  3. The map has three disconnected pads, which encourages multitasking and certain types of micro (esp. switching units around to bring them into favorable positions, blocking access to a pad etc.)
  4. There's cute micro tricks, e.g. shortly after the first Titan in the game above comes out!

And here's the second replay of the two:
