27:00 you have 9 mangudai (plus 1 created during the fight, so 10). Up against 14 crossbow, which are being actively micro'd by a good player. You clear the army and end up with 7 mangudai at the end. Legendary.

@@why_wait No for this particular challenge Viper counted only certain actions like clicking units and ordering them to move, attack, building something.. but creating units was not counted. That would be really stupid. But I agree it is not a suited format for pro play. it is a gimmick challenge run.

As an 1800 this makes me sick. You're in the top few percent, you feel like you're most of the way there - but it turns out you're still so far from optimal play your opponent can idle for 3 mins and still win.

But Hera is actually a top 5 player or higher. I do not think most of the top 100 would win.

One of your best micro I've ever seen. Incredible.

Hoyl damn what a game! That is why Hera is the GOAT. Being down so much all the time, defending, scouting with the one spear, losing so many vils but always choosing the right ressource, defensive towers, skirms.. That was a masterclass on how to come back from a bad start. I am gonna sub when I catch your stream the next time. That was amazing.

I gotta agree, seems like this handicap encourages all in strats from both sides and it get thick in the fray. Really enjoyable to see it play out.

WOW!!!! I never seen such a micro.....Hera you are so talented. I was trying to have a snack but forget to bring to my mouth... like a dentist session .

id need like, 25 mins AFK to have a shot 11, great concept, looking forward for the next vids

that was truely a spectacle to watch! That 2 crossbow army clear then 5 mangonel clear with just a handful of Mangidi was mental! What a top class game, well done to your opponent. Great to credited him for a tough fight. your silence in some parts there really spoke a lot

So many moments which were close to a loss! Talk about doing a lot with a little

That micro was insane, never seen anything that good that consistent for so long.

That micro around 25:20 was insane

12:00 "Clutch...ClutchClutchClutchClutchClutchClutchClutchClutchClutchClutchClutch"

Loving all the variety of content ideas you’ve been posting over the last year or two!

Hera has the most insane context switching

The micro was insane, so good. Also, shoutout to Hoang jajajaja

This is a really fun video Hera. I haven’t played in a while now but I enjoyed this one

When I saw how the scouted part of the map looked at 9:20 I had to laugh for some reason

That fight against the crossbows and 2 to 3 mangonels with your outnumbered mangudais was one of the finest sustained micro I've seen on any RTS, let alone this game. Props.

Holy crap Hera! Excellent judgment and execution here! WELL PLAYED!

Crazy play. So many beautiful cleanups, and that micro? Awesome man. I wouldnt want to play against you lol.

Dude, this game was SO sick! Massively enjoyed it! His micro was top-notch in the first half, but as soon as you got into Mangudai and pressured his base, it fell off and you took over. I think both of you learned a lot about each other's play style in this game, and I can't wait for the next one!

I've watched probably nearly a thousand age of empires games and this banger makes top ten! Amazing content.

Dude, that focused face as you are doing micro management that one could only dream of.... This was godly...

insane match, was really fun to watch!

The engagement starting at around 25:15 is the best showcase I've ever seen of just how deadly Mangudai can be in the hands of a pro

Damn that was so cool !!! I think this kind of video, where Hera has a good challenge, is very very great, entertaining et intense ! Perfect ! GG !!! =)

Btw the micro at 24:15 makes me feel like you'd be a great musician hahah, your sense of tempo is absolutely pristine

great content as usual! i would love to see pro player afk first 10 minutes vs 1000 elo next 111

Amazing bro like always u good 🎉🎉🎉

crazy game from both, but you man, played an amazing game!

Absolutely insane play Hera

That was such a sick game GGs

Crazy! So fun to watch. Very fun idea 😊

You are so cool to win after 3 min AFK. You are have great skills on micro + disturbing him with Mangudai. You are so brave to say "you won thanks to your micro skills". You are great man keep going !!!

This is an insane video, really shows how next level you are even against a 1700 player with a huge advantage.

Crazy Micro!!!! love it!

absolutely incredible game. wow!

has to be said, thats pretty damn impressive

Incredibly impressive game from both players, opponent was wicked good for 1700 elo and several times I wasn't sure how Hera could possibly pull it off. Great watch!

This was a hell of a game wow

Youre so good at keeping things fresh on this channel. I get bored of AoE every so often.. an then I see a title like this pop up in my recommended, and I HAVE TO click to see what happens 11.

Hi Hera, It will be amazing to see if you play a 2vs2vs2 . It will be really interesting how that will play out. -Retired Aoe 2 player and your new subscriber

amo como juega hera ❤

Hoang with the donation was awesome 😅

25:15 WOW that was a legendary play!

Hera decides on the elo of people in the most interesting way. If someone is 1500 team elo 900 single, he is 1500. If he is 1500 single, 900 team, also 1500 player. This is somehow 1700, despite having 1604 single and 1500 team elo

This is me when i go to the toilet during queue and it turns out to be a 5 minute long piss

Sick game, fun with the AFK time

@@thomas1644 Meaning that just beeing in the top 5% doesn't actually mean that much. The closer you get to the top, the better you have to be, so there is very, very big difference beetween someone that's better than 95% of players and someone that is better than 99% or 99.9%. Don't quote me on this, but doesn't ~1400 Elo in AOE2 already put you among the top 5%? Pretty sure that the guy Hera fought is well above 95%

Amazing. Red was skilled, but Hera in another world.

More of these games please, we dont know whos gonna win because of the imbalance and elo. Its perfect!

That was wild i thought you lost like 3 times

31:40 indeed a sick game gg wp

Amazing

It was the best AOE 2 game I ever seen. What's a player!

How do you deal with pressure?

That was super cool, how were the other four games?

usauhsauhs so fckng nice to see you playing bro

Micro demencial !!! 🐐

Dravidian pikeman with elephant archers desdroys mongol magodai siege. Especially once you get that imp tech that ignores armor. And cause lephant have passive heal, they never die and get too close and you get destroyed by the habs/pikes. With the ignore armor tech, pikemans wins against champions.

Here's a cool challenge to try, its gonna be like usual 1v2 but in this time ur the one who has a teammate but ur teammate will play against u trying to wall ur tc, walling ur gold attack ground ur building... its gonna be a lot of fun 😂😂

So much stinking skill and micro!!!

The game wouldve been perfect if not for the fact that only 5 magudai were raiding in castle.

GOOD GAME

new hera video, lets get some hype in the chat

Back then on voobly when I was like 800 elo I played against a friend who was like 2k elo. I had a 6 minute headstart and still didn't win a single game in 3 attempts :D

Even 3 minutes advantage makes this game such near to equal

I'm surprised they still had that much population.

AFK: away from keyboard No thanks

Now let's try Hera on Idle 2 minutes vs Viper xD

bro we need you in AOE4

25:30 The power of Mangudai insane speed

As an AOE3 player im sad Hera isn't an AOE3 content creator.

una locura jajajajaj GG

Imagine being such a chad that you don't play for 3 mins and still style on a 1700elo player

Wasn't a 3 minute wait. It was 1 minute and 50 seconds approximately. Still impressive of course.

You guys do sooooo much micro and the reaction...damn here i am mostly a campaign player where i just micro the siege😂😂😂....and let the heavies and the ranged units do their thing

wanted to ask, for a 3 minute handicap, wouldn't it be a better strategy for your opponent to kill peasants and steal sheep as many as possible at the start? ;)

While your opponent did play amazing, I kinda feel like FC builds would work even better. What would you do vs phosporu-like allin builds with a 3min delay?

I haven’t played in a while but wouldn’t a Hoang rush here be pretty devastating?

Hera playing vs an elo 1700 is like me playing vs an elo 400 or so... Having that sense of superiority, having the feeling like you can play slow and be able to do more thing in a shorter spam of time... It's like the other guy attacks, but you know you will get out of trouble no problem

Not sure why the clock goes faster, but this was not 3 minutes idle time
