- The opponent we're facing tonight seems to have a thing for necromancers, and I'm soon going to find myself swarmed by an army of skeletons! Time to unleash the Chimaeras for some much needed clean up!

Hope you counted the skeletons and you are not lying to us.
I kept count. It was 10million. Very exaggerated number smh
I’m judging you for saying that
Grubby would never.
@@RethaxianGrubby Would & Could never
A billion is an impossibly large number. Grubby was using an hyperbole here.
That was one of the coolest WC3 games I've watched in a long time. Gotta love those skeleton hordes.
pure defense of Hyjaal looking game
I remember having a 2v2 once where our opponent massed Necros and I got PotM to level 6. When we went at it in a final battle type of scenario, he had the meatwagons and necros unleashing a crazy amount of skelies. At that same time I triggered Starfall. It was the craziest light show I'd seen and my frames dropped to like 5fps when it happened, lol. Mind you this was back in like 2003 and I had an AMD Athlon 800mhz cpu with an unknown graphics card built onto the motherboard, lol. Thankfully, we won that match and it was a very fun replay to watch once I upgraded my PC.
You still have the replay?
@@leleiiiiii Man, I wish. I've lost all things Warcraft 3 related over the years. I had officially uninstalled it in like 2010 as it was my go to game every day since it came out. Once I uninstalled and went through numerous PC builds, I lost a lot of stuff I never backed up (such as my replays).
This particular game made me connect with a childhood friend with who we used to play WC3 24/7 back in 2003-2011. Thanks for the collateral good you do to our small community.
My god. That guy put up such an amazing fight. What a fun game to watch. Maybe one of my favorites. I also love how Grubby had to explain the viability of chims at the start of the game, when they ended up being the nail in the coffin for his opponent.
He could have targeted the archer stack more aggressively. DH is hard to kill, and the NSW was more vulnerable to attacks. With the Spirit Touch nerf, he should have been aggressively seeking to get his necs killed (to get more mana via new necs) in order to generate corpses and get replacements with partial mana to spam the skeletons out.
Judging the situation, when he had two bases, a standing necrowagon army + infrastructure to replace the necrowagon army, he could very well have finished off a normal NE with pressure, but hey, he was facing Grubby. Possibly lost his nerve there.
@@Instr Grubby was extremely good at microing his archers out of hero range when they had mana, and shoving his DH and Naga in their face when they didn't. UD had to play a fine line of keeping his heros alive because Naga Sea witch could slow them at any moment and put them in fear of death. Lets not forget he only had level 1 Coil and Frost Nova for most of the game as well, not enough to one shot archers. They both played extremely well but Grubbys micro was on a world class level here. Very difficult game for the UD to have a chance here against such a strong opponent
Obligatory: Thanks grubby for this series. Always a fun watch. Felt like I've learnt so much about WC3 without even playing it :D
why right obligatory? it's not obligatory, it's a choice!
I can't imagine the fun warden would've had here
Lvl 3 Knives deleting Skellies 😂
Mana burn and wisp mana drain were critical though, letting coils and novas onto archers was certain defeat
This is like a fucking campaign mission. Grubby when you get to playing undead I hope you can pull off this strat a few times.
Wow, what an amazing game. It's very interesting to see both players adapting to use the situation with the resources they have. And of course always cool to see not standard builds, especially when both get to the most expensive units 😄😄
I like how Grubby rooted ancient of war during the rush!
Not wasting another wisp while simultaneously preventing new ziggurats and buffs by taking space
What a game. Endless waves. Patience rewarded with victory. Diggin the night elf game play
love the switch army from both side.
I've always wondered why Dreadlord + necros wasn't a thing against night elf. Dreadlord would instantly clear wisps with swarm, so NE would have to rely on dryads for dispel, and they'd run out of mana very quickly. Although, now that immolation is good, seems like the opportunity has been lost.
@SomeRandomWordsHere_MrMr
Counter with mana potions and so on.
UD player would have been well-served by frenzied ghouls to eat through the NE's archers, and those were in fact the weak link.
Man, I wish we had some kind of heavy anti-ground air unit for Night Elves. OH WAIT
The undead rushes Grubby
Grubby: So I started defendin my self in the enemy base :DDD
This is the first time I saw an unholy aura rush, first time I saw a melee game where one side remakes most of their base at an expo (as opposed to just giving up), and first time I saw a serious attempt at necro wagon followed by wyrms! Dude here was both a dedicated and creative fighter! The only thing that could make it better would be if the final clash led to all heroes getting ults!
Campaign mission vibes
Lore accurate undead plague
That first attack with the ancient of war was insane. Must be so frustrating to deal with.
And the counter attack with the skellies, really cool.
crazy game, great micro, worthy opponent
gg!
What a cool game! Great response by the UD when was losing main base and then brought a mass army of skeles, necros and wagons. Really enjoyed watching!
No Glaive Throwers for the push? Seems that a couple of these would have helped deal with Undead towers.
I was thinking immolation would've been like a hot knife through skeleton butter but that mana burn really helped keep the coil + nova nuke at bay. Shame we didn't get to see the metamorphosis in full action
You know Grubby is having a good match when he must focus and can't talk
Very entertaining, gg wp to both!
That was intense!
Loving this series ❤️❤️
I remember NecroWagon being the bane of my existance when playing WC3 back in the day.
Grubbys insane micro abusing Moonwells and slowly growing hero XP advantage off killing skelies was a sight to behold
Illidan and Naga archer. lore accurate match
Dude that was an amazing game Grubbster !!
cool game. well played! i really enjoyed it! thank you grubby
Wow, this game was amazing!
Such a fun game to watch. Thanks, I need my daily dose of Grubby.
swarm host flashbacks
exp makes it a much more balanced and interesting exchange and is ultimately what allowed grubby to win. Swarm host units are truly free, whereas skeletons still forfeit xp which adds up over time
What an absolutely insane game! WP!
i'm glad i forgot title while watching....was happily surprised at the first appearance of skele army
Props to UD, played really well. Unfortunately DH 6 is gg no matter what
Not necessarily, but opponent has to have high level heroes as well to counter.
It's was a crazy game men! Thank you very much 😁😁😁
This guy is cluckin Night King. What a game! GG 👏
Hey Grubby, just wanted to point out an error. It says this is Warcraft III: Reforged but I'm pretty sure I just watched They Are Billions gameplay
They couldnt handle the whisps kamikaze atacks
That was one of the most epic games yet!
Must have been one of the most epic match this year.
That was intense !! Grubby's opponent executed right idea on the right time.
Now I wonder how could he develope his strategy ??
WOW! Awesome game to watch! I'm surprised DM didn't have immolation?
SKELETONS!? That has to be something out of Jayborino's nightmares.
can someone tell me where the billions of skeletons were? or at least a lot of them? timestamp?
UPDATE: for anyone wonderinf, roughly 30:15 has a bunch of skeletons. at least thats something
That was crazy, I thought it was over off the rush
El Classico Night Elves vs Undead
Nerzhul and Cenarius are proud watching this video
Necro strategy was IMBA in years when number of skeletons was not limited. The screen become full of them and they do mass damage to everything and you practically can't stop it. But Blizzard fix this with limit of skeletons that can be summoned, if you try to rise more skeletons, the older skeletons just disappear. I often beat 2 players at 2v2 when my teammate leave. But this was so many years ago :)
As far as i remember you could Counter mass skellis with staff of Negation in the Shop , priests or Whisps , But mainly with the staff , i guess it was in the Shop back than for exactly that reason
@@syableman6294 the count of skeletons that I made at this version was huge and dispellers die fast. The statues also gie more HP and mana in this patch. This was before more than 15 years.
Back then the biggest damage would be done to the opponent's framerate
@@Addsomehappy mostly at his army :)
@@tehnodruma ok i was talking aout roc times. i was there 3000years ago:)
Epic War Battle!!! As expected, its over once Demon Hunter gets to Lvl. 6.
Splash of Metamorphosis plus Splash of Lightning Chimaera. Plus Support Trueshot Aura!
I was like "why won´t he build huntresses with glaive upgrade.." then saw chims. building and was like "oh... thats much better"
What a match!
the most most fun games against necro wagon. shame about no GG, he played v well. love seeing races being played to how they were intended. SIIIIICK KEEP THESE COMING
I really enjoy your content.
Thanks!
Amazing Game!
get em Grub
I counted all the skeletons. Twice. And my final answer is : a lot.
Grubby was used to making moonwells at this base. Would be more efficient if he built by the enemy's base. No more need to transpose units back to the base to heal.
Curious if NE are the worst against mass skeletons since they have more limited mass dispel. Good game either way. Such nostalgia. Thanks for the continued content.
Warden 's lvl 3 Knives
the only thing im preaching for over 20 years with 17000 necro games and near zero losses against ne; necro > ne. the only thing i know wayyyyy better then grubby. also: ud did not ex it perfect. lich is key. but he was pretty good. funfact. u dont need statues that much.
so basicly. if u are not top50 progamer u cant win against my necro. and im a 60% player. i made many belivers who would bevile it. also chims is the best counter... fd dont work. u can outplay them 90% of the time.
@@nahirigathering1392
Yeah, you can replace the stats with suicide necs (i.e, deliberately get the necs killed to make way for more necs with greater mana pools0.
You can always counter the chims btw with cripple + gargs, but end of the day, UD T2 is a question of getting economic superiority. Necs just seal the deal.
Skeletons are my favorite strategy. I would like to see you use it some Grubby 😃
Hope to see another game between you two
insane game
Units killed: 320
Pretty insane
I have a question Mr. Engineer. MsC. Genius @Grubby why do you started ancient of war vs an easy camp instead of a middle camp? [REAL QUESTION]
Great game one of the best NEvsUD ever :D
Very classic wc3 game :)
What a great game
Mirror image got buffed. That's why people use it now.
also no faeiry dragon to counter magic?
This was awesome. I ve been wondering the entire time what is he waiting to produce aerial units or counter aerial untis. This was predictable. His first Wyrm came so late and he didn’t remake any crypt fiends.
Finally! A skeleton army
I always thought the acoloyte/peasent(etc) were there exploring your creeping pattern but also to try not to only deny last hit on the mob, but cant it also 1 shot the item it drops so it dissapears for you aswell?
Items kinda have a hidden healthpool. It takes a few hits for a hero to destroy it, i Imagine a few more from a worker
@@KaptainKokosnoed yeah I believe the healt pool is like 70?
Zounds of Skeletons
Good pressure by grubby however the undead should've used disease cloud earlier it'd have been more useful i think..
Also strategic use of Cripple would have really put a crimp in Night Elf heroes and Chimaeras.
wonder what the count of arrows launched was
Grubby, where are dryads? XD Dont they have destroying summoned units spell? :D
i dont think, that would change anything since he could only dispell like 3 or sum units per dryads before the necros summs 50 more
They only have 2-3 single target abolishes at high mana and weak to siege. In low numbers they don't do anything vs necrowagon and Grubby had no lores built and low money at the time.
Cue in, Achilles theme, from that y2k era movie.
Nice thumb! lol
Peak entertainment
ah....i remember my first game in wc3 and going night elves.
the moment that arrow was released from the archers.
honestly the sound fx was underwhelming but endearing nonetheless.
this was over 20 years ago.
Epic fight! Commends to the enemy. Maybe he should try to add the sleep cc of dreadlord? Anyway great Rival and awesome battle.
Tough to say. UD was at an exp disadvantage with just how many skeletons have to be sacrificed on the enemy, and with how hard it is to take even a single archer off Grubby.
DL third splits that exp even further. But the ability to prevent those mana burn dives might have got some much needed coilnovas freed up
@@ambion19 yep when I played dota 1 and wow arenas I lernt that cc's are awesome.
hey grubby, wouldnt it be the best strategy for any nelf-player to get as early as possible moonwells till you have 80 food avaible since it is the only way of healing?
Except you'll have no upgrades, late tech, and fewer units to defend the wells with. Pretty sure Grubby only got the extra wells early as a precaution during the rush, he expected to lose one or two and didn't, ending up with surplus
Spooky
how sad... the moment you get memorphosis he rage quits...
Epic 🎉
Why would you not build any Glaive Throwers, Grubby?
Hoping that one day Melon does "Eat All Their Trees" challenge.
He's already attempted it.
Mass hunts vs mass sceletons
Grubby why specifically did opo leave? Did his gold mine collapse?
Enemy had expo earlier, so his mine collapses as first :d
what a show, omg, even got goosebumps when the CHIMS arriveddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd!
was thinking how come naga did not do fork lightning earlier ? or maybe switching with some faries with flare to help, or 1-2 bears for healing only, and 1-2 MGs.
He didn’t have any lores and was low on gold at that point
well he rushed and dont have an expo so its actually a budget spent for the whole army built up
He spent all his money on an early PoTM and T3 Archer upgrades. He literally didn't have any money left before his 2nd expo was up and running.
good game
Great oppo
gg
Too bad he didn't say gg wp after such a cool game. So much spite.
he does not use anti magic shell on mana units??
This is how I would have played Undead :D
