I remember reading the original WC3 online guide back in the day. There was a screenshot of 3 peons walking across the map under the section "Offensive Towering", with the statement "orcs are more likely than any other race to offensive tower. If you ever see a group of peons like this, odds are they're up to no good".

I remember doing something akin to this with undead towers way back in highschool during a lan contest hosted by the computer class teacher, with the prize being a 20$ coupon, and the funniest is I didn't even really want to join nor cared enough to win, I just did it out of the blue, managed to drag on the fight for so long the teacher had to call it a ''draw'' and claim the victor by the amount of points generated, and by sheer luck I actually won by a few hundred points. Boy was that high ego nerd who gloated about being the best at the game genuinely livid, one of the only good memories I have of highschool.

I admire your life philosophy. In this particular case - about what you tell about "reading news", also other things like "just do it", "don't be afraid to lose/make mistakes", "have fun because life is short". Also I like how calm you react to setbacks, without griefing opponents.

I did something similar in a Warcraft 2 match in the late 90s. But I built 9 towers surrounding the town hall and then waited until I had enough resources to upgrade them all to cannon towers in one go so my opponent wouldn't get attack notifications until they were all well underway. Decimated his town. We were both human so he didn't notice the color difference in the buildings.

This is too funny. He could have just walked around it and attacked your base. The problem-solving skills of some human beings and players are so funny

The best way to stop a tower rush is to build towers of your own in the Frontline. They have same range, so your opponent won't be able to build forward. Then you get the artillery and hit safely from behind the towers.

I tower rushed a lot as orc back in the day. Always build out of sight if possible so they don't know you are there until your second row of towers goes down. Also, I would build the altar and build a burrow there as well so I could bring my hero directly into the fight, and avoid target fire against peons.

i only played WC 1 and 2, SC 1 and 2... This was my first WC3 match i ever seen and i wasnt disappointed! Really cool

This was awesome, the guy can surely cite a few ways he could have gone out of this, but there and then purely the psychological factor gave in and he failed. That's why playing with real people will forever be better than the most advanced ai.

I used to watch Grubby Games more than 10 years ago and now i stumble upon this video and he even has a face. And he is a cool guy. I knew it. I knew it all these years. :D

Love the tower rushes too much fun lol

This intro is legendary. Brightened my day tenfold!

when i played wc3 i used scorched earth tactic with the undead. slowly spreading out corruption with massive amounts of towers reducing the amount of usable land for other races more and more untill the enemy has no chance of winning left. its fun but takes forever and if the enemy finds out what youre doing early theyre almost guaranteed to rush you down.

Can you link to the full streams your videos come from, or at least which platform was used for the stream?

tower rush with farseer gruntapult + a zepplin for treeline harass is devastating, especially against NE. a NE with a compromised treeline, is a leaky arse boat. especially with the burning oil upgrade. demolishers are nuts already, not to mention firing from fog of war at literal trees.

I don't know how this is going to work but it works, tnx Grubby.

How did this get 422k views? Congrats!

Ah, good old days from a 2003-ish

opponent tunnel visioned instantly and was basically paralyzed. He could not handle any other strategy than the "meta"

This was quite fun to watch

yup i used this many many times in wc3 online.... people would be so mad because id keep moving my towers closer while developing an army in the back

So with that rush we used to build barrack and maybe altar near the tower rush and get orc catapults at their base

Blizz. made a mistake when they chose to stop advancing WC RTS. Now we're stuck with SC HD, aka "SC2", and WC Reforged

8:10 I hope that is not your life philosophy - just bury your head in the sand until something bites you in the ass

3:55 20 years later, after all those patches, the Murlocs still have their fucked up shield textures with squared black corners.

Yoy know what the scary part of all of this is? The moment you see a strategy like this, you see it and think "he is not taking it seriously, there is NO WAY I'll allow him to get away with it". The single thought of you loosing to this, the humiliation that comes woth the idea of loosing against someone not really trying, is what takes you out of focus. You no longer think straight, you start making mistakes and letting him take advntage of them. The sole idea of loosing to something like this is what makes players loose against it, that... And not really knowing how to respond to such strange tactics.

havent played warcraft3 since 2010. Was 6000+ games 60% winratio undead / nightelf, and when i wanted to try it again, blizz had deleted my account ... But was a big fan of 4K, ToD, Grubby and FoV, not so much of Zeus, but i think Creo was at 4k also at one time ? He was my fav nelf. Pretty much whole 4K were my favourites. Orc tower rushes were kinda strong in team games in 3s, kinda strongest of all of them. But well, i even did stupid things from time to time as undead tower rush :p

So I assume the correct counter would have been to just walk past the towers and kill the completely undefended base which was supplying the lumber for all the towers?
