I have the same feeling with Dave, today we will watch max - hera, tatoh - nicov.
Behaviour outside the games strongly indicates that Kotyan is Hera:
- talking about how winning HC3 would be great (without anyone asking or bringing it up) in a positive tone after the first rounds were already played.
- being in t90 chat during Kotyan games and even posting, unlike other pros
- on discord immediately responding to someone writing "Kotyan is Viper" with a "confirmed" emote
Now ofc all of that could just be trolling or misleading on purpose, but why would he do that if he's already out? Hera seems the type of guy to then just be quiet about it and stream less, not to make positive jokes despite being out. There would also be no benefit to it for him.
No other player still in it has any similarity with Hera.
It is not even a guess, it is straight up recognition of extremely characteristic dark age habits, for either g1 or g2 I needed only see about 3-5mins of both. This wouldI'm pretty interested why you picked Max for Charles Martel. I don't think dogao could shatter him to 3-0. But Max is among those I cannot find a hero to. And Charles Martel is among the heroes whom I cannot find related player. So it might be a match, but what is your explanation?
Plus Saladin only lost 1 game which he arguably threw. The macro play is Viper-level, but it doesn't feel like Viper imo.Saladin vs Alaric
the consensus is Alaric is Yo. Who else could pull off game 4 comeback against a Yo caliber player?
Plus elite war elephant. in R1 G1 thats more viper than Tatoh IMO
You seem pretty confident?It is not even a guess, it is straight up recognition of extremely characteristic dark age habits, for either g1 or g2 I needed only see about 3-5mins of both. This wouldruincorrect so many peoples predictions that I will refrain from elaborating a bit longer ^^ (ask me PM if you're desperate to know).
I was, like Jupe and Rubenstock, blinded at first by the Cup Celts fresh strat being Joan/Yodit = Max/Villese, but after finding Max, that Celts thing is just a Secret thing stemming from Tatoh/DauT/Viper, Joan/Yodit/Saladin respectively. (Viper used it too)
I must also say, LaaaaaN = Antagonist really threw me off guard, he played extremely well vs Hera=Kotyan as the Sheriff, I'm certain he likes seeing all these comparisons to big names eg. TatoH and stuff. If I'm wrong at this ID, it is even more freaking amazing.
Plus Saladin only lost 1 game which he arguably threw. The macro play is Viper-level, but it doesn't feel like Viper imo.
Confident as in I've been a TheMax fan for quite a while and watched *recs* of his by dozens.You seem pretty confident?
I think Tatoh (Saladin) wins. He will beat Nicov, and then out-strategy Hera in the final imo.We were all hyped for suprises like Viper dropping out for Max but in the end the final is going to be Viper-Hera/Tatoh as usual? Well, I hope I'm wrong, but personally, I see this as the likely case.
Yeah i obviously don't know either but to say it is likely is pretty bold.If Viper is out, which seems likely...
I think:
Charlemagne - BacT
King Sancho - Liereyy
Joan the Maid - TaToH
Bad Neighbor - dogao
Princess Yodit - Daut
Leif Erikson - Fire
Kotyan Khan - Hera
Sheriff of Nottingham - Max
Friar Tuck - ACCM
Saladin - Viper
Vlad Dracula - Vivi
Alaric the Goth - Yo
Henry the Lion - Villesse
William the Conqueror - MbL
Emperor in a Barrel - Nicov
Charles Martel - LaaaaaN
Maybe some trolling, didn't see if anyone else saw, but BacT renamed himself on ladder to King Sancho https://i.gyazo.com/e3fde8752e8084174442509cf13f8d70.png
