I'll see what I can do, the 2v2 sounds very promising!

In this week's news, we are witnessing the comeback of the classic double minelayer build in a brutal 1v1 on everyone's map of choice between Rexxyy and Medium Tank!

This weeks' shoutcast is a prime example for why you should always close out games!

Here's the deal: We got 30 minutes to steal 15 tanks.
Are you up for it?

After having played a good chunk of matches, I conclude that I really enjoy the TabEdit version as it allows for more flexible build paths and crazy tech rush strats. The idea of removing the radar/SD prerequisites from the tech center is actually an Idea I proposed to Klaas after a match yesterday,...

Happy new year everybody! I've been off the radar for a bit to go on a skiing vacation, but that does not mean there has not been any content lately - so to kick off the new casting year, I present you The Great Zappening 2017! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDiAlK2P7Lo&lc=z125ulfxjzzduzsrz04cgntbj...

Alright, since it's that time of the year again and "nerf artillery" threads are popping up on the forums like daisies, I decided to make a case study on how to counter them by abusing their poor mobility. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q4lsS8lL7o Murto The Ray versus Ofris on Dual Cold Front, a g...

Come join me for a random OpenRA Stream, including a discussion about the current meta!


UPDATE: Stream had to be cancelled due to a bug that was forcing OpenRA to crash whenever I tried going live.

Really nice match and cast, can't wait for these players to join the masters in RAGL. Same here, and with the advent of Lorrydriver in Masters, we have to prepare for a really hard season 3! Winter is coming... The match I stumbled upon this week is nothing short of a hilarious clown fiesta in an i...

I completely agree with the topic on hands. In the recent weeks, I've played against OmNom a couple times and tried to figure out strategies to stop his basepushes that don't involve basepushing myself - to no avail. The real issue is, in my opinion, that base defenses simply overperform relative to...

Thank you so much SoScared and JaZz for upping the ante in season 2! It is amazing to witness the competitive scene growing from a small seed into a thriving and flourishing garden, and much of that rests on your shoulders. Season 2 has seen its fair share of clutch moments, but the finals were a ph...

OMnom vs Smitty on Warwind, 30 minutes Grenadier play, multifront base pushing, parabomb and demo truck hits, over $300,000 in combat losses and 1,000+ dead. I gave it a go, and that match was hell of a ride! Thanks for posting, highly entertaining match with the best Danger Close Demo I've seen in...

I think they might carry an inherent bias, as most good players tend to gravitate towards Allies nowadays _because_ of the strength of pillboxes. The script is not biased, we are the ones that are biased. If it's just the basedefences that cause the imbalace, we will (hopefully) see a different rat...

Chimpo, it seems to me that most of your matches tend to happen on maps with many chokepoints, which is where the Allies' strengths shine the most. Try playing more open maps and have a mobile army, find flanks on your opponents instead of attacking into their line of base defenses and make good use...
