As the defense tower entered an upgrade stage, Satellite, who was in the game, was completely stunned.
In the early game, he used a single burrow, fast tech build.
For the Orcs, the biggest feature of this build is that it's much faster than a normal start, basically allowing you to go to tier two at 17 population.
Combined with early raiders, you can get things moving quickly.
This is one of the main strategies that Orc players have developed so far.
The main reason Orcs can play like this is that Orc footmen are the tankiest infantry unit in the early game.
A main hero with an Orc footman is enough to level up, and the Orc shop is also the most suitable for the race. After losing health, a big healing potion makes you good as new after a while.
Currently, Satellite is in a very awkward situation. Five workers are building watchtowers, which are very fragile during construction and upgrading.
But the opponent is building them outside the burrow's defense range. Even if the peons go into the burrow, they can't defend.
And the Blademaster and his Orc footman can't really win.
In a straight fight, the Pit Lord definitely can't beat the Blademaster, but the opponent isn't fighting him head-on!
His Blademaster and Orc footman are fighting the Pit Lord, the watchtowers next to them are being built and upgraded to arrow towers, and the Pit Lord isn't fighting him, just running around.
If he attacks the workers, they just run away. The arrow towers are already upgrading, and the Pit Lord, small Pit Lords, and footmen are attacking his units.
If he turns around to attack the watchtowers with five workers, he only has one Blademaster and two Orc footmen right now. The third Orc footman is still being built.
He's in a bit of a bind.
And the burrow is basically a paper tiger, at least before it's upgraded with cement. The burrow is too easy to blow up.
That's one of the reasons why he built it so far inside, because it's too easy to harass.
But now he feels like he's eaten something bad. He never expected the Humans could play like this.
At this time, Lucas was also very focused.
The Human TR, which is workers bringing towers, is a pretty extreme tactic. If you play it well, you can completely shut down your opponent in the early game.
But if you don't shut them down, then you're basically done for.
Luckily, he doesn't need to control many units in the early game, so his speed can handle it.
The situation on the field is very tense. With the mysterious tower, which can reduce magic points, being built, it basically means the first step of the TR tactic is successful. The Humans have already gained a foothold in the Orc base.
Satellite, on the other hand, has also thought about how to deal with it.
That is to upgrade to tier two, build a war mill, and use catapults to solve the problem.
But the key problem is that he can't hold on right now!
He needs to balance economy and wood.
If he builds Orc footmen to stall for time, then the production of catapults and the war mill will definitely slow down.
But if he doesn't build Orc footmen, then he can't hold on at all!
It's a complete dead end. Watching two more defense towers being built, he tried to fight back and killed the Pit Lord in front of him. Satellite directly typed "GG" in the chat.
As soon as these two "GGs" were typed, the players watching the stream instantly exploded.
If using Night Elves to defeat Soo's Orcs before could only be said to be the opponent being careless or something.
Then using Humans this time can only mean that Orcs are not invincible!
'Wait! What happened to Orc domination? Why do I feel like Orcs have become the weakest race?'
'Woah, what happened to the game being balanced? Is Lucas going to think Orcs are too weak and buff them?'
'I'm speechless, who is the pro player here!?'
'To be fair, Lucas's actions had some mistakes, but more importantly, the other players didn't expect Humans and Night Elves to be able to play like this, and he caught them off guard.'
'That's true, but skill is still key in RTS. Boss Lucas's plays at least crush 90% of players, right? A regular player using this method against a pro player would probably still get crushed.'
'Be more confident, it should be 99%. But the most direct feeling I get is that you have to respond based on the features of units and races!'
'Yeah! It's amazing!'
Even in the RTS pro group, many pro players who weren't going to play before are now eager to try.
It's given them too much inspiration.
Before this, no one thought of this mode, Human can build buildings together, it's not like no one knew.
But the key is that many people thought it was kind of useless before.
Because it would use extra wood and gold, but they never expected.
They could use this fast building feature to directly build defense towers in the opponent's base, and turn RTS into a tower defense game.
......
Satellite was also a bit helpless. He didn't expect this build at all. Who would have thought that in less than three minutes, the other side would bring their whole family to his door and start building houses?
At this time, he also went to the group. Everyone was chatting.
"Satellite, you lost too!?" Soo's voice was depressed but also a little bit happy.
"Yeah! I lost too." Satellite then remembered that he wasn't alone.
"You typed GG in less than eight minutes!" Soo's voice was a little more cheerful than before.
Hearing this, Satellite couldn't help but darken his face.
What do you mean?
You typed GG later than me, so you feel like you're better than me? Is that what you're saying?
But he couldn't argue.
Because it was really a bit sad.
"This Pit Lord tower is really something. If you follow the traditional Orc burrow, you basically can't defend against it at all!" someone in the group said.
Gourd also agreed, "That's right, if I went up to play, without knowing it, I wouldn't have any good way to deal with it. But after knowing this build, there are actually a lot of opportunities to respond."
"The first way is to directly scout the other side's base. If they build a barracks first and produce two footmen, then it's basically this Pit Lord tower strategy. At that time, kick out the Blademaster at home, recruit a Beastmaster or Goblin from the tavern, and use the early summons to stall for time. When the war mill and catapults come out, this strategy is basically useless."
"Of course, you can also choose the Far Seer first and use spirit wolves to get through the early game."
Gourd, who is known as the strongest Orc player at this stage, still has some unique insights.
However, after Gourd finished speaking, some Human players gave different opinions.
"That's not necessarily true. Human doesn't have to use a one-base Pit Lord tower. You can completely go for a normal Archmage first, then rush to tier two, make footmen and upgrade defend, which has a higher success rate than a one-base build."
"And it's not like only Humans can use the Pit Lord tower. Orcs can actually use the Pit Lord tower, but they can't do a one-base Pit Lord tower like Humans."
Many professional players in the group were discussing, and they also had the next question.
"So? Who's going on next?" Many people wanted to play against Lucas.
Originally, not many people wanted to go on.
After all, there's nothing to be proud of if you win. The other side is just a game designer.
If you lose, then you'll be embarrassed.
But now everyone knows that Lucas's strength is really not ordinary, and many professional players want to meet him.
In the end, everyone decided to use a die roll method to decide who goes on, whoever has the biggest number goes on.
