Love to see RA3 on my Recommendations, brings back a lot of memories
not just memory,because its BACK!!!
He's REALLY back, mate. Hehe. The best caster for C&C games.
@@takitakcvl7070 Yes I agree His voice is amazing
Man im still loving it today always played red alert 2 and now into 3
Holy Molly the amount of bullshit Dimon had to pull through to get that win, he has my respect. I would've just ragequitted long ago.
He won only because Ally made a mistake by feeding his units.
@@MsFlyingCake and Dimon struggles cuz allies r OP asf so it doesnt matter
@@MsFlyingCake Allies are OP with that cyro and chrono tech. Only mistake Dimon made probably wasting V4's and a MCV in some cases and does not invest in one Dreadnought (2000) with two bullfrogs that could harrass enemy north refinery in mid game. Natasha (2000) was very unnecessary.
@@deaclavilis6760 Dreadnought get hard countered by carrier though.
@@MsFlyingCake Lictor was not expanded to sea. Lictor did not have port and sea refineries while Dimon had. Dimon had the naval infrastructure while Lictor had to hold him on ground, not invested in sea.
Christ, those cryocopters must have been so friggin annoying.
IKR?!?! They are among the most disgustingly annoying units in the game - but I also put Terror Drones in that category, and Damon used those very well too!
To be fair, Allies have the huge advantage with their abilities being buffed from vanilla, which i dont really get. Cryothing that can freeze half of your army doesnt look so balanced considering all soviets can do is just stun and go for toxic bombings. Just seems a bit unfair watching hordes of tanks getting torn to shreds every time the ability recharges
@@masoluboxD allied thanos snap out of reality takes like 0.25-0.5s to activate so, yeah, good luck getting away from that lol
really ? nothing about rising? no mention of how useless bombs and squadrons are? the only thing that is remotely useful in the whole command points power are rockets, navy , and drone defense
Squadrons can force a sell off, = satellite drop. In general though, I do agree that rising sun doesn't have many great options on that tree. They just have to play thier mobility and versatility.
@@yerr234 Honourable Discharge isn't terrible in many situations.
You're a bit wrong, allies' weakness is their build time, mastering it would be much difficult and its much balance considering the Allies' manpower is advanced but limited. Furthermore, the Soviets' Air and Land troops is good and easy to master, if Lictor have those multigun turret spread around and make that a cyrogenic turret, probably Dimon will have to move to the next strategy he has , plus Lictor probably can't spread his territory too much because of the time he has
37:40 man i can't stop watching this amazing play from Dimon. The way 3 Hammer tanks and 4 Bullfrogs destroyed everything is so satistfied to watch.
Skillfull Plays Vs. The use of Cryogeddon as a crutch... What a gear-grindingly intense match that went down to the wire for one very blatantly obvious reason... Loved the commentary, glad to have you back!
IKR I never played a multiplayer match and I've only seen this once, but I already hate it
You guys who liked this comment do realize you and they...can pick any nation to play with right?
@@Derek2k imagine playing Soviets for years then the Allies get buffed and now you have to relearn the game
37:10 This is the moment I knew I couldn't root for Allies this match. Jesus jumping Christ, Lictor didn't even finish off those hammer tanks and was caught SLEEPING on the wheel with those peacekeepers, arguably the only thing that stood between him and a decisive victory after half a damn hour of intense back and forth. 37:40 AND THIS IS THE MOMENT I REALIZED I HAD TO ROOT FOR DIMON, How can a man even play this game when he has such a MASSIVE pair of BALLS sitting between him and his computer?! 1: Dimon finds that his hammers have been squeezed into that annoying BUT HIGHLY MANUVERABLE shrink sizes. 2: Dimon one-clicks the magnetic charge right below the infantry to draw them north, away from the hammer tanks WHICH ARE NOW RUSHING FORWARD FULL SPEED, fully aware that they could have died in that storm! 3: The hammer tanks squeeze past the storm and away from the infantry and copters to cut off the Athenas from retreat. 4:He rushes the frog bros IN BETWEEN the Anti armor and the Athenas to: 4A: Draw fire from Infantry away from the Hammers 4B: Stop those damn cryocopters from intercepting the hammers. 4C: Catch the Athenas in one of the cleanest pincers I've ever seen. 5: Dimon pulls the frogs down and while they're STILL focused on the frogs, the hammers resize at the exact time Dimon predicts to crush ALL OF THE INFANTRY. The Infantry is gone, the cryocopters are finally dead, and the Athenas are wipe out! And in such a dire situation, my dude Dimon pulls some of the most anime ass-pulls I've ever seen from such intense pressure with nothing but frogs, hammers, and *shockingly* good maneuvers in less than a goddamn MINUTE.
The Allies might be broken, but you can't say Lictor isn't skilled. He's obviously extremely good at the game.
Cryo copters have too much range for the shrink ray, they can go around unpunished tearing at the enemy army.
Also both freezing and shrinking in one unit
sweet jesus. Cryos are just broken. Great cast
Allies are sooo OP. 3 Cryocopters are able to hold your entire army, and Chrono Rift + Cryogeddon are able to easily destroy it. Dimon barely won with 2X (!) economics.
i wouldn't say 2x the economy. one extra refinery is an advantage, but not an automatic game winning advantage on its own. don't forget, soviets have units that we didn't even see in this game, such as the apocalypse tanks, kirovs and dreadnoughts.
@@Charlieh1989 the reason you don't see much apoc tanks vs Allied is simply because they are butters to be cut in front of cryocopters and Athena cannon, and their slow speed makes sure they cannot escape cyrogedon, they could be powerful against empire, but very ineffective against Allied
@@deakblack so there you have inadvertently explained the issue of balancing. they may well be ineffective vs allies, but their higher cost and longer build time means they are not an automatic win against empire teams either. don't forget also that apoc tanks pretty much crush all other units (except MCV's). it is such a delicate balancing act.
Soviets need extra refineries to be able to fight against tier-three Allies because most of the Soviet units are quite inefficient by that time.
@@Insomnia1234o00o which is in turn countered by the ability to build crusher crane(s) in strategic positions. not only can you rebuild faster after suffering losses of your buildings, you can also repair the "inefficient" units over time. (yes i know the allies can heal infantry with a med tent).
I gave up hope on seeing any more of this game -- keep up the good work!
There's more on the way.
@@OneSybert C&C Remastered? 😏
Is it just me or does this game look amazing graphically. Especially for its age... Heck, it looks like a modern high budget title!
The water especially.
Definitely bro
@@OneSybert can we still play online?
I hope they someday do an enhanced remaster of this game that adds things like smart casting.
Such an underused engine.
52:20 the caster make me so sad about the century bomber. I wish the pilot rest in peace.
i legit find it dumb how it was 4 bullfrogs whiling on those cyrochoopers and they didn't go down at all they where not even vets
37:38 my God, I know planty of people would have thrown in the towel right there due to the overwhelming odds, but jees, the way he turned it around was unpresedented! 52:10 LMFAO!!!! Great Replay!
Pilots of bombers and twinblades never back home, darn :
Red Allies vs Yellow Soviets is just Nod vs GDI. *Tiberian Sun nostalgia kicks in* .
nah USA vs GLA is better
muhammed majid yeah, but those were blue and green, not red and gold.
So good to see you back, I missed these from 4+ years ago
So youtube recommended me your videos a few days ago. I'm a new subscriber but I am very glad that you are doing this again and have came out of the break. Your commentary is excellent and it really makes the games fun to watch.
Thanks mate, glad you're liking it.
So glad to see you back,sybert, been missing these thrilling RA 3 matches :)
Just subscribed last night and i'm loving all of the C&C streams you uploaded. Please keep uploading!
I'm so excited to see you back man! I remember when you stepped away 5l4 years ago, such a pleasure to see you casting again!
Welcome Back Commander. Missed your videos Sybert. Hope to continue to see more videos uploaded. Thanks for the video
Welcome back sybert ! We’ve been missing these
Hello! I'm a new viewer, never thought I'd see C&C casted games anymore. I used to watch a certain C&C3 caster but he quit a year ago Thanks to the remaster, looks like I found my new favorite C&C caster :D
lictor should be a professional coach, his handling of the economy and the units is impressive.
SYBERT YOU'RE BACK! Welcome back commander, you've been sorely missed. Best news I've heard all year.
Just found the channel. Good commentary. Liked and subscribed!
Wow! This was awesome! I mean, even that game by itself is incredible, but with this added commentary it was very fun to watch! :) ps.: I think that the reason for you not seeing these support powers being used too often is due to the fact that most games are usually much shorter, so players do not get enough points to acquire them all, but this time they ran out of their preferred branches, so they had to innovate.
This is World Championship kind of play.Never seen something so heated so far.Both deserve praise.
Keep it up Sybert. I missed your RA3 videos. Since when you have stopped uploading them, I have stopped playing C&C. But now I am back to this great game again!
Great to hear you're back!
It is very nice to see you back Sybert!
Wow, thanks for video! Welcome back commander!
good to see you mate I though you would never come back and see you only guest on spartacus channel hope to see more videos and I love your casting keep up the good work
Oh my smegging word!! No word of a lie, my heart skipped a little when I realized this was BRAND NEW Sybert content!! Massive smile on my face. Greatest comeback of the year, hands down 👌✌❤
Aaaah this is soo great!! The best RTS game ever!!! Great cast man :) mooore plss
12:30 The longer Dimon is in this game - the stronger he will become
21:04 Those 2 tanks nearly got shrunk out of existence due to the Shrink rays being able to stack! 😂
wait, they SHRINK rays can stack!?
@@redacted8983 As far as I know, it can in specific cases, but that is more like a bug than a feature, and I actually don't see it happening here. 🤔
@@Isti115haven't encounter that kinda bug when I was playing a pirated 1.0 of the game
New to your channel, loving the casts
It's good to have you back
What a wonderful game. And great commentary too.
That water effecr is still unmatched by any strategy game for all these years after red alert 3 launch...Simply awesome.
Glad to have you back u gone for so long mate
Glad that u are back!
Comment complete. New construction options.
Haha!
I missed these!
Always nice to go back to a little red alert action
This is the third time I've watched this game, so epic!! This is why I love RA3
you did this again ! thanks
The unit diversity used in these high tier matches is why RA3 is just so much better than RA2, if it was the latter it would have been 1hour of pure tank spam
Didn't feel like one hour at all. Lictor was really hurt by not building that ref out on water :/ Still huge thanks to them for playing this, it was an awesome game and an awesome cast by you as always
Keep up the good work! :)
OMG after 4 years you cameback to youtube!!!
The back and forth was epic
Well played Comrade Dimon
Great match from both side!
I never seen so much struggle and i got triggered how he used the dam chrono shift+cryogeddon combo 3-4 times lmao
yeaaaaahhhh RA3 brg more vidya great to see you back!
Alternate Title: Dimon survived Lictor's Brutal Winter
Great video I would love to see a 2v2 or 3v3 next that would be awesome
Yeah that would be great
Mostly, they prefer FFA. Hehe. Hopefully they will have 3v3.
Got a whole series of 2v2s coming up. Going to get around to 3v3 and FFA as well.
Sybert, C&C Caster great I will definetly watch those I’m excited to see that
@@Destroyer0 me too
That was one heck of a game, but damn it is frustrating to be Dimon in that game. That was some pure BS he was up against, and he won!
It was amazing game!!! Thak You for video!)
*AHH THE GOOD OL DAYS WERE I CAN SPAM KIROVS TO TROLL ENEMIES THX FOR BRINGING THE MEMORIES*
Kirov spam wont work on any good players though
Thank you for this fresh content! Really miss C&C3. Really interested in getting back this fun RTS. I have a few questions though: 1)What platform do you play C&C 3, is it through the ORIGIN or STEAM client? 2)I thought the servers were already down. How did you play online multiplayer? 3) Do they still have updates for the game as far as 2019 -2020? Thank you!
1:most likely steam because of the community is easier there then on origin 2:Ea servers are down but there are a few sites such as c&c online revora that allow you to play what game you wanna play 3:I'm not sure about but if they are still updating the games they'll do it through the remastered collection.
1 I play on Origin(because of the Ultimate collection), but Steam should also work just fine. 2 Servers are down, but they are replaced with community run servers at cnc-online.net/en/ 3 No official updates, but community patches and maps you can download at: www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=1004431
Great use of one clicks by both players, specially Lictor 😀
Wow dude! When that guy launched the allies special ability to lock down that v4 (forgot what it's called) and the v4 rocket exploded killing himself and multiple troops that was iq 1000000000000 holy crap. I've never seen that before and never even thought of that.
Seeing a new Sybert vid in my recommended is still a great feeling.
It's so damn refreshing to see RA3 casts again. Will you be casting C&C Remastered when it comes out?
That's the plan. Remastered will be the most modern and functional version of C&C and if there are good games I'd love to cast them.
Man I love this game
Thing is allied air starts slowly losing health after spending all of its ammo. That bomber died because it was low on health and out of ammo.
Whoa found you in my recommended, been looking for a good CNC caster! Quick question, do you or will you cast games with mods like remix and corona when they release?
In the past I've cast mod games, but not very often. It's a possibility in the future.
@@OneSybert Nice! I hope you do! I already watch Lowko for all my SC2 fixes, and your casting is ideal for my CNC fix :D
Great game, good commentator. Commentators are usually annoying, you are not. Good work.
Dimon is really a soviet hero to endure this much bullshit.
Legendary.
Nice to see that you are back. Are there any replays from some mod that allows you to play Uprising in multiplayer incidentally?
The mod Upheaval brings Uprising units and maps into RA 3, but I don't know if there are any good games played with it.
@@OneSybert Nothing on GameReplays?
36:38 Man you hate to see it. xD Also 52:24 :( GG
Also twinblade on 52:42 who just land for safety)
RA3 has such tactical and positional depth, just like chess, and I don't know too many other strategy games that have that.
Ra2 is better
@@gabrielgoncalves2763 Yeah it is, but RA3 is pretty awesome as well.
@@gabrielgoncalves2763 RA2 had better campaign, which never gets old. But as for PvP - RA3 is better.
@@Mparovios3000 tbh , RA2 mental omega has better pvp and balance . This vid tells it all , Dimon has better map pressure , better economy, and better micro ,about twice Licktor's apm but look at what he had to go through . As a guy who've played a lot of RTS games, i think this game has a HUGE problem in balance.
@@HuyNguyen-jl7go I've never seen Mental Omega. So I can't say. Only regarding the official games. Yeah, it's true. I should've clarify. I'm not taking about ballance. When I say better, I mean RA3 is heavy on micro, and doing a lot with little. RA2 is all about unit spam. Rhinos and dogs and AA vs Grizzly, dogs and rocketeers. It's always the same.
Holy shit! What an intense game!
Awesome match! I am pretty surr both players get all secret tech trees, soviet one in the end gives you "mass production" which reduces price for all and I think it was the key of Dimon's victory. However like Sybert I also miss dreadnote from soviet player, it can easily destroy oil deric and nothern expansion of Lictor. Вымученая победа Лимона на тоненького.
11:19 - True. You can repair civilian structures before even though has a critical damage.
27:03 - It was Magnetic Singularity. :)
30:13 - That was Chrono Fift (first level). Hehe. cnc.fandom.com/wiki/Chrono_Rift
That one oil derrick Lictor held generated roughly 18 000 resources. Frustrating and hilarious to watch Dimon not deal with it.
Damn I love this game so much so many memories so nostalgic : D sadly never played multiplayer but would really love to , is the playerbase still active ?
Not very big, but still there. Right now there are 56 people playing RA 3 online: cnc-online.net
Damn.. This was so epic..
53:10 Using Cash-Back on your units is basically giving them life insurance. In a way, Dimon was committing insurance fraud all the match...
beautiful
I would love to see a 2v2 cast for red alert 3
Boy do I have something for you in about 30 minutes.
what a fun game to watch
I feel like Lictor had to have more focus on those 2 refineries in the sea, which was used a lot by Dimon.
Great game!
Those chrono shift+ice beam combo is underated but defastating af. But honestly if demon decided to use sea fleet he could put more preassure to lictor. Although soviet sea fleet isn't as flexible as their allies or rising sun counterparts
what a crazy game this is
Allies are WAY OP. All true competitive matches are Allies vs. Allies, just like in Kane's Wrath all (or almost all if you want to nitpick) are BH vs BH. It is the Atriedes Turtle resurrected, save for the fact that the Atreides Turtle was a lot more fun and COULD be somewhat countered by Sand Worm play.
While I do agree with you that allies typically tip the scales when it comes to win rates.....But if you are honestly saying that it becomes an allies vs allies that occur in most occasions and that allies just steam roll and win every tournament on sight... then perhaps you don't watch a lot of competetive tournaments to begin with. Just look at the latest FTW tournament. FTW #71, Dimon won as Soviets and he was fighting against empire (his ooponent was ddf). Not just that...watch previous FTW tournaments as well. As far as I can tell, these are the most competetive tournaments when it comes to high level ra3 gameplay with the highest profile names in the competetive ra3 scene and that the results of those tournaments aren't as lopsided to allies as you would think. There are actually a number of Soviets and empire players takes some wins over the course of multiple tournaments that are being held. Heck, they are still running tournaments even until today.
@@rooky3526 A better skilled player can win with inferior forces.
@@santaclausewitz1891 That is a given that a better player would always win but's that not the discussion you started with.....according to you and what you're implying, you believe that it is nigh impossible for this game at the highest competetive level to have anything but allied vs allied given how op allied is. And I've stated that you are wrong as per actual tournament results. Sure the overall win rate skew towards the allies favor but to imply that soviets and empire has no place in competetive ra3 is completely wrong. Soviet and empires have their place and playstyle in competetive ra3. Empires rely on heavy econ harrasment and if left unchecked they can snowball their forces while leaving you in low econ. Soviets have a timing window where they are stronger than allies prior to tier 3 units and artillery. They also have the respectable capability in harassing the econ as well. If cryocopters are unable to properly support grouns units the soviets can brute force it's way for a win. And for allied, if left uncheck without any econ harassment (while at the same time they have a great way to harrass economy) and allowed to get higher tiered units with completed secret protocols they are pretty much unstoppable in the late game and their units have some of the best utilities in the game as well. It's all a balance of recognizing the strong points and weak points of each respective faction and the pros knows this as well. Heck, if what you say is true and allied is the only faction to consider...then these pros who are not only playing for fun and bragging right are also playing for money woild pick allies all the time and not even consider picking other factions. These tournaments do have cash incentives in them. And knowing competetive esports, pros have a tendency to pick the shortest route possible to get a win. That's just what happens in high level competetions in esports....yet time and time again I would see soviet player and empire players win tournaments. You already contradicted yourself when you mentioned that on the hight competetive level it all boils down to an allied vs allied match up, while at the same time you mentioned that the better player will always win regardless of inferior the faction is. Hello? This is competwtive ra3 we're talking about, pros will pick factions that get them wins. Period. And it's not like the balance of the game os left uncheck. There are community patches that address the more sever balance issues of the game.
@@rooky3526 You're saying it is balanced because sometimes the Allied player loses. That that can happen however because a better player can win even win the odds against him. It may have nothing to do with balance.
@@rooky3526 "while at the same time you mentioned that the better player will always win regardless of inferior the faction is. " Where did I say that? I said they CAN win even with an inferior faction, not that they ALWAYS win.
you are really good caster :)
I really want to see more ra3 content, maybe esports even. This game looks so good now!!
Game is beautiful you have to do a contest On RA3 On RA3 up rising
21:22 The name is command and conquer
Lictor had great micro with the allied toys but tragic strategic thinking.
@40:00 if dimon sold his MCV and his super reactor, he couldve pumped out 5 sickles with his bullfrogs and just destroyed lictor who had no factory nor cash... he was 100% infantry with a airfield without units
These guys are insane wp, they should give a try at FAF they would do wonders there
For the analytics.
Very good game ..from both players
Epic!
