THE MAD MAN ...Mr Yo .. DOES IT ...

FINALLY !!!!!!!!!

Such a dominant performance in all games, didn't allow Viper to breathe for a second.

 

Thanks for the tournament, great job everyone involved.

 

Mr. Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

LETS GO!!

 

Great tournament. It was awesome as a viewer and very entertaining. I think all streamers combined the broke the 50k . Very happy and surprised to see 18K in Youtube in Mario's channel!

 

Tatoh said something on Memb stream that made me think that Yo was the one with the biggest chance for beating Viper: Hera relies too much on meta and it's almost imposible to beat Viper playing meta. Yo plays as a weirdo that execute smart ass plans and had showed many times he was the biggest challenger also (all their series were quite close in the past). No one could expect a 4-0, but he simply outsmarted Viper in this games, and thats how Yo does his thing, also with a sick execution this time (on how many spots he can attack at a time!) and great confidence.

 

Incredible ending for this tournament ! GG Mr Yo, very well deserved victory for him !

The only 2 big tournaments that Viper hasn't won, has been won by Yo, congrats !
Very good tournament overall, hoping to see more EW in the future !

 

thanks for the tournament, amazing final can we have a offical feedback regarding the overall viewer numbers in the next days?

But Yo did not win Clown Cup?

 

Thank you to everyone involved with the tournament, it was great. Very excited to see the Mr. Yo win

Doing it in empire wars was a fun way to shake up the meta.

 

Just for example, when playing arena teutons are my no1 pick. Why? Because their tech tree allows them so so many options.

Melkor warned us about buffing Teutons

 

When was the last time someone beat Viper 4-0 in a final!

With the win, Yo reaches his career high elo rating, also 2nd all-time highest peak ever.

Outstanding performance from mr.yo. congrats man! Also viper was so superior in his series until the finals... such a great show! The tournament went amazing. The job done here has given us a lot of ideas, thoughts, questions, answers and a lot more than just pure games. Looking forward for more tourneys.

 

What a performance from mr yo, he outplayed viper in each game, playing super smart and showed that preparation and strategy can make him win. The way he played super aggresive was also incredible. I am really happy for mr yo that he won viper, because he is such a good guy with great humility who probably suffered a lot in the past with all his loses vs viper in tourneys. But he never gave up and showed a great mentality over the past years. Really well deserved for him. I hope some others players can be inspired by mr yo mentality.

I guess viper must be sad, but he shouldn't be too hard with himself, he had to lose one day, happens.
And for all his haters that waited he lose a tourney to show up ( hi superskinny) and try to change people mind on viper being number one ( i'm not even one of his fans, just objective) well u guys will be able to open your mouths when someone will be as dominant as him for 5 years wining all.

 

Great tournament. Great viewer numbers, especially without front page help. Great games, variety, production. Wish there was less 'fake hype' in the casting, but that is probably just my preference and not targeted at any specific caster. Less fast talking, less screaming 'OOOOOOOOHHHHHH MY GOD' etc. Thats really my only nitpick. Overall I think the redbull production brought a nice level of professionalism to the event. I think Zak was a great host, and a the official segments brought a nice added touch. Congrats to Mr Yo and everyone involved casting and production. Some minor hiccups to learn from but overall one of the more enjoyable events.

 

Great to be there to witness history: Viper getting swept 4-0 by the guy he eliminated every time they met in the past 10 years.

Fun side note: Viper thinks Lierrey, Tatoh, Hera are better than Yo (according to top 16 players video on Nilli channel in late March). Maybe he still thinks so but what a perception change it may be to get swept by a guy he thinks is #5 in the world.

Does he, though? Viper has always been very complimentary of Yo.

He also said Yo was the one who caused him the most problems in Hidden Cup 3 and mentioned the fact they had always met before finals in recent tournaments. He has the utmost respect for the guy, and his ranking on Nili's video was more likely him being objective in terms of tournament achievements and not necessarily an ordered list of the players that pose him the most problems in game!

Such an insane performance by Yo in the final. I do believe Empire Wars favors his super aggressive playstyle but he showed nerves of steel, perfect preparation and execution. I was watching his stream during the games and he was entirely focused, not speaking a word. Just after Viper called the gg in game 4 he let out a resounding "YES" and didn't stop talking until he went on the interview with Zak! So inspiring to witness and really great to see his happiness and motivation (even in a language I can't understand at all).

That of course doesn't take anything from Viper's performance during the tournament that has been great. The simple fact that we are so mesmerized about him losing is a testament of his incredible skill and unrivalled domination on the game over the years. I am sure he will continue to be the best and am looking forward to the next clash of him and Mr Yo... On normal RM or Empire Wars!

@joubine9 I think normal people can be happy that Yo won. The ones that are happy that Viper lost are the sad ones.

Well said. Both are great players with very humble personality, actually so is Hera

 

Will there be a feedback thread @robo ?

That's awesome...Except for the fact I don't have permission to see the thread LUL

 

woops, im so tired I made it in staff forum not r&s lul

 

Like everyone else, super excited to see Yo's victory - and in such incredible style! The tournament has a strange reflection of HC: Viper storming his side of the bracket like Hera did (but also beating Hera in style); Yo playing Viper's role and winning with a supreme performance in the final. Boa will now bring a great contrast as the next tournament - completely different structure and game play. Congrats Mr Yo, comisserations Viper - we all know you will be back with avengeance!
