| 7s | polytopians it's the big bird Hello I'm |
| 10s | espar espark from polychampion and |
| 13s | welcome to the farm parkus polytopia |
| 16s | polycium tournament we have one of the |
| 18s | finals games here this started out as a |
| 21s | tournament with 128 of the best |
| 23s | polytopia players in the world and this |
| 25s | is one of the finals games we have some |
| 27s | money on the line so let's dive right |
| 30s | into it we have our two players Pond |
| 32s | King and Alex competing in this game |
| 35s | yeah so bonds yep up to the north we |
| 39s | have Pond King and over here to the east |
| 42s | we have Alex and uh East Park I know |
| 45s | you're familiar with uh some of the |
| 47s | players what do you know about them yeah |
| 49s | Pond King I uh have seen him play in the |
| 53s | bullet tournaments he's an experienced |
| 55s | live game player I don't know Alex but |
| 57s | Pawn King's on team lightning |
| 60s | um the spawns I think are pretty even if |
| 63s | you look at it though Pond King he's in |
| 65s | Orange his second city is not great |
| 68s | because he has no farms near it right |
| 71s | yeah that is a bit unfortunate no farms |
| 74s | at the Second City he has uh quite a bit |
| 77s | at this uh one up to the north which |
| 79s | would be his third City uh but I think |
| 81s | Alex has a slightly better spawn with a |
| 83s | bit more Farms which is super important |
| 85s | early game for zabassi |
| 88s | I agree and I think they're both going |
| 90s | Riders |
| 93s | um yeah so Alex already has a writer and |
| 95s | I think Pond King got the writing Tech |
| 98s | which is classic that's the standard |
| 99s | zabase opening is Riders and Roads |
| 102s | yeah very uh important strategy there uh |
| 106s | for uh zabassi going ahead he's |
| 109s | attacking that Warrior up that where |
| 111s | it's just right outside his Capital |
| 113s | um and meanwhile it does look like uh |
| 116s | Pawn King has the advantage he has a |
| 117s | ruin early on uh near his uh what fourth |
| 121s | city down here |
| 128s | the text so this is a disadvantage |
| 130s | actually when you have two cities that |
| 131s | you can't upgrade it's kind of a drag |
| 134s | yeah that's very unfortunate meanwhile |
| 137s | it doesn't seem like Alex has that same |
| 139s | problem and it looks like Pawn King in |
| 141s | order to upgrade those other cities he's |
| 144s | gonna have to get fishing Tech uh which |
| 146s | I mean there is quite a bit of water on |
| 148s | this Lakes map uh but that is a added |
| 151s | expense and he goes ahead and guys fish |
| 152s | in there and he upgrades one of those |
| 154s | cities with the workshop |
| 156s | yeah and the other thing that Pawn King |
| 159s | has he has two ruins oh he got a |
| 162s | swordsman from the ruin whoa whoa that |
| 165s | well it could be better but you know |
| 167s | it's that's pretty good yeah I'm sure |
| 169s | he'll take it at this point and that |
| 171s | Explorer kind of didn't give him the |
| 173s | best Scout it kind of went sideways so |
| 175s | he gets like a ladder review of the map |
| 177s | but I'm sure he wanted to see more of |
| 179s | what was happening in Alex's uh Kingdom |
| 181s | down here |
| 182s | yeah it's looked interesting because |
| 185s | yeah Alex can't really see Pawn King |
| 188s | neither of them can really no no |
| 189s | actually wait wait wait wait so |
| 192s | Pond King in Orange had took an Explorer |
| 195s | and it went down and it can see green |
| 199s | but it's not the other way around right |
| 201s | Alex cannot see Pawn Kings cities |
| 204s | yeah I believe you're right and Alex or |
| 206s | Pawn King is going ahead and getting uh |
| 209s | selling early and get in this early |
| 211s | advantage to water is huge because look |
| 213s | at these three coastal cities for Alex |
| 215s | and you're right he has no vision he |
| 217s | doesn't even know that these boats are |
| 219s | headed his way right now |
| 221s | yeah you know what this is gonna to come |
| 223s | down to Navy I because there's this |
| 225s | water between them they're gonna have to |
| 226s | fight it out yeah it's barely any uh |
| 230s | land connection over only in the Far |
| 232s | Corners of the map so I think you're |
| 233s | right whoever can control this Lake in |
| 236s | the center of the map uh it will |
| 238s | probably win this game and right now |
| 239s | it's looking like Pond King has the |
| 240s | early Advantage here |
| 242s | um here goes Alex with an Explorer and |
| 244s | he finally sees this huge navy or at |
| 247s | least part of it and he gets a decent |
| 248s | Scout into the interior of uh Pawn |
| 251s | King's uh cities here |
| 253s | [Music] |
| 259s | yes it is but Pawn King's gotta jump in |
| 262s | the ocean he or the lake he got on the |
| 263s | water of hers |
| 265s | oh and he slides that Venture swords man |
| 268s | wait wait wait that was so good he hit |
| 272s | them and he just plopped that Source oh |
| 275s | sweet very good what a Play What a play |
| 278s | and he does clear that out but now look |
| 281s | how weak these Riders are he's moving |
| 283s | ahead with the ship and the Warriors he |
| 285s | has to do something about these boats |
| 286s | and start to gain control of water but |
| 288s | he does have this 40 uh ship in the |
| 291s | water which uh right now Pawn King does |
| 294s | not have a giant in the water so that is |
| 296s | an advantage for Alex |
| 297s | yeah Alex has his sword ruined too but |
| 300s | it's like a swordsman but it's like off |
| 302s | on his side I don't know if he's gonna |
| 303s | be useful |
| 304s | oh yeah I see I see The Swordsman in the |
| 307s | corner that's not gonna help him out too |
| 308s | much it would have been better if it's |
| 310s | around his Capital which is uh getting |
| 312s | Siege or about to get Siege by right now |
| 314s | by a giant by ponking |
| 317s | um |
| 319s | I'm Siege though he has two Farms so |
| 320s | he'll be all right |
| 322s | you're right about that uh meanwhile we |
| 325s | had his battle in the middle of the map |
| 326s | ship versus ship |
| 328s | um going ahead and just oh and Pawn King |
| 331s | already has Customs houses too which is |
| 333s | going to be sure his economy well wait |
| 336s | okay that's big look he has two custom |
| 338s | houses ponking has two that's oh three |
| 341s | now three nice |
| 345s | look at the stars okay so Pawn King has |
| 347s | like 55 and Alex has like No |
| 351s | 35. |
| 353s | And meanwhile 23 from Alex so those |
| 356s | Customs houses are huge |
| 361s | yeah Pawn King looks to be really uh |
| 365s | strong here again Alex can unseech this |
| 368s | Capital but he's throwing oh he didn't |
| 371s | get the double Farm to pop his own giant |
| 374s | oh now he is okay I wonder why he didn't |
| 377s | uh just go ahead and giant push that |
| 380s | giant out why did he attack and then get |
| 382s | the giant anyway do you know why |
| 384s | I would have gotten the two Farms I |
| 386s | understand why you got the pork to get |
| 388s | more units in the water but I would have |
| 390s | done the two Farms it would have cost |
| 391s | less and you could have put those units |
| 392s | in boats |
| 394s | yeah a questionable decision there I'm |
| 396s | not sure his uh thinking there but |
| 398s | anyway he now he has a giant he's moving |
| 400s | forward uh towards ponking to apply some |
| 402s | pressure but look at these High Level |
| 404s | Customs houses by Pond king that's just |
| 406s | giving him such an advantage meanwhile |
| 408s | Alex is at 31 stars but Pawn King is |
| 411s | already at 48 Stars per turn on turn 16. |
| 414s | that is crazy yeah you know those custom |
| 417s | houses look at them when you can get |
| 420s | Synergy like that right when you can get |
| 421s | overlap oh that's so much income |
| 425s | that yeah that's actually crazy and what |
| 429s | Alex has a pretty strong Navy right now |
| 431s | that he's building uh it's pretty |
| 433s | competitive he's upgrading his cities |
| 435s | he's doing zero damage to that giant but |
| 438s | he is attacking and uh getting a lot of |
| 441s | bolts right now so maybe he's thinking |
| 443s | he can overwhelm him in the water |
| 445s | yeah Alex has more Naval units but Pawn |
| 449s | King has like a giant Battleship which |
| 451s | is tough |
| 452s | yeah that and that's right in the center |
| 454s | of the map that's oh nice Siege there |
| 457s | and if he can get that Village that |
| 459s | would be a nice uh boost for his economy |
| 462s | but I think Pawn King still has his |
| 464s | monuments he may be able to push that |
| 465s | out |
| 467s | yeah if if Alex can keep it that would |
| 470s | be a big help |
| 473s | future and he's attacking this other |
| 475s | coastal city uh meanwhile oh he's gonna |
| 478s | go for the poof here |
| 482s | um upgrade |
| 489s | yeah that is an amazing play there uh it |
| 492s | sucks when it happens to you but a great |
| 495s | great move by Alex there hoofing that |
| 498s | giant Bob making his own giant |
| 501s | um with nowhere for it to be pushed out |
| 503s | to it just simply disappears |
| 506s | that's fantastic |
| 509s | what a game |
| 510s | fast paced game and it looks like Alex |
| 513s | is uh on his last leg here |
| 517s | I I have to guess like losing your giant |
| 519s | is just a big blow like psychologically |
| 521s | you know you're just like oh |
| 524s | right well you think he had to put down |
| 526s | a port get a farm just to get that giant |
| 529s | and he made a great place he's in that |
| 530s | Village and then it just it's just gone |
| 532s | without doing any damage that's pretty |
| 534s | sad that's just like |
| 536s | you know it's like punch like no my |
| 540s | child |
| 542s | and on top of that uh you basically get |
| 545s | a free giant |
| 547s | um and build your own so it's uh you |
| 549s | lose a giant and they gain one and just |
| 551s | like that Alex has had a no and that is |
| 555s | the game what a game by Pawn King uh |
| 557s | realizing this going to the Sea early |
| 559s | will give him an advantage |
| 561s | um especially having those two cities |
| 563s | that you talked about that he needed |
| 564s | fishing in order to upgrade he went got |
| 567s | his uh ships out early apply pressure |
| 569s | and uh the customs house really um just |
| 572s | made his economy too strong to deal with |
| 574s | I think both players play |
| 578s | making any big mistakes like they were |
| 580s | both very skilled and I think |
| 591s | I think he just had enough he was just |
| 592s | psychologically like |
| 594s | it was a blow but that was a really |
| 596s | great game |
| 597s | yeah I agree I think after getting that |
| 600s | giant uh Houdini there |
| 602s | um he just he that was kind of like the |
| 605s | final blow even though he still if we |
| 607s | take a look at this he had a pretty |
| 609s | strong Army still |
| 611s | um it's mostly boats but he does have a |
| 613s | lot of ships |
| 614s | um in pancakes Army outside of the two |
| 617s | giants isn't that strong uh but I think |
| 620s | he just realized that hey it would be |
| 623s | more trouble than it's worth to try to |
| 624s | break through this |
| 626s | yeah and definitely Pond King had a |
| 628s | stronger economy he had way more stars |
| 630s | but |
| 631s | um yeah I don't know I'm if I was Alex I |
| 634s | might have kept playing a little bit |
| 636s | tried to come back but I understand like |
| 638s | at some point it's totally respectable |
| 640s | if you feel like there's no way I can |
| 641s | win this game then you resign yeah I get |
| 644s | to fill in like sometimes it feels like |
| 646s | hey maybe I could come back but I'm |
| 648s | probably just like the land the |
| 649s | inevitable here and I think that's uh |
| 651s | why Alex ultimately GG but both players |
| 655s | played fantastic in this game and um |
| 657s | that was that was an exciting fast-paced |
| 659s | matchup to watch yeah |
| 662s | and thank you for watching make sure you |
| 664s | drop a like and a comment and give some |
| 667s | feedback on what you thought of each |
| 669s | player's game we will see you in the |
| 671s | next video |
