C2A #3 - TaToH vs MbL

[SMB360]

Game 1 - Clearings - Spanish vs Celts
Game 2 - Civil War - Mongols vs Vikings
Game 3 - Double Arena - Turks vs Britons

Spoiler: Score

MbL 3-0, will face Dogao in C2A #4 after Christmas. 4th game was not played since MbL winning 3-0 made it not actually necessary, and both players agreed.

MbL used 3 really strong civs, will be difficult for him now

I absolutely love the agressive style of tatoh

Spoiler

but he played this series very sloppy. specially in the second game, it was a waste of mongols. why towering to deny only one tile of gold and stone? he could put a tower at the back of mbl's wood line and then focus more on economy.

Tatoh did go out with his friends for his birthday immediately before playing this set I don't think he could have focused on economy in game 2 because he has to cut so much to go up and do towers that he's already a long way behind, and then he's versus Vikings. You can't out-eco a Viking when already starting from a disadvantage. He basically chose a completely all-in strategy but didn't manage to achieve the main objective of doing that, which would have been to prevent MbL moving to the outside and getting gold. Once MbL had scouts + archers with safe gold he was 100% dead and the resignation was correct, imo.
