I see 3/4 of the finals videos between Phatmouse/Ray and Cambria are up, with no sound --- is that because you intend to comment over them in the future? If so, I might hold off on watching them

Chill, it's really hard to hear you speaking over the music.

I appreciate the willingness to listen. I mean, I could be wrong, too, and there could be other people newer to the community with different desires. @En3rgy52: Thanks for the responses. Didn't realize about the multi-engineer thing. Do the first two damage the building as per RA1? Also, did not realize you could not one shot the CC as well. Either way, this is a great intro to the online game. I look forward to the finals.

I've read this thread, and enjoyed watching the games. I've watched almost all of what's been posted thus far, though I usually skip the first 1.5 minutes to get to the point where there is an infantry rush (or isn't) since all the games seem identical more or less to that point. So, the purpose of this tournament is loosely stated to encourage new people to be into TS, or build the community, or something? Some comments from someone new; 1) Could you please use consistent names? In the videos you did commentary for, you regularly called Phatmouse Ray. And you did the same in the tournament roster; http://challonge.com/tstournament2 . Can you get his user name changed to Ray? It would make things easier to follow. 2) I've been playing through the old C&C's 1 by 1 (playing 5-10 online games and the campaigns) and finished C&C1 and RA1. I'm halfway through the TS campaign (almost done GDI). In some C&C1 Videos found here:https://forums.cncnet.org/index.php?topic=5851.0 , the people commenting on the videos do a really good job on commenting on every little move. Equally, when I watch Starcraft stuff, same thing. For comparison, there is little commentary on some things you consider obvious; a lot of the meta, for example. Why people are selling ref's instead of building structures and buying harvesters, why people are selling the refs instead of just keeping them and building more power, why what units get used when, why do we see infantry rushes even though they never seem to actually go anywhere? Why does Nod in particular have to defend against infantry rushes (no disc trooper)? Why do we see so little Nod played? The longest Nod game I see is ~15 minutes long and it's not clear if there would ever be a Nod endgame. Why do people always send 3 engineers in APC's, and why do they so often go for refinery's over CC's? (Same with disruptors; tend to go refinery over CC?) It's sort of assumed that everyone watching is already a reasonably serious Tiberium Sun player...which is probably expected to be true. If there is also the goal of engaging newer players, maybe some more thorough commentary would help? Also, some of the guys in the chat seem to have microphones really poorly set up? Also, like, a bit of excitement, maybe? A lot of my favourite Starcraft sportscasters sound like they're excited to watch the match and enjoying the moves...you guys sound a little like these games are all by rote. I really do quite look forward to watching a few more matches --- I'm hoping the finals get recorded/got recorded?

This one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wZEdGUSfpk And this one; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8G7RJDShp8 (I can't tell why you resign at 9 minutes?)

I watched through Achromic and Ferret's videos Tiberium Dawn, and have a couple questions, mostly about Ferret's play (because Achromic does more explaining himself as he goes); Ferret (or anyone else knowledgeable in the meta) seems really, really casual about not bothering to build lots of rocket troops to counter Achromic's Ocras --- in one game it seems like a deciding factor in his loss...though in the next, Achromic resigns ~8 minutes in (possibly out of money? I couldn't read the text) despite still having 3-4 Orcas and a couple tanks to Ferret's ~3-4 tanks and troops.

Thanks for the help. I did get them working. I've played 5 1v1 games now, which is about my fill before wanting to start moving on to Red Alert One. I'd love to play a 6 way FFA, but it seems like all I see are 1v1's? When is peak server time?

Alright, re: Hotkeys. I searched on the forums and found another thread from 2013 that said /install custom-hotkeys while in the C&Cnet chat. That popped up an error message. Anyone want to post me their ini set up here?

Alright, I played two games on the C&CNet Client, and still don't seem to have the hotkeys? Also, I won both games by rushing, the second player was kind of annoyed --- I'm guessing the meta here isn't to rush at all? I'm used to playing Starcraft mostly. Also, how do you chat in game?

I downloaded it about a week ago from here, was it updated since then? Here's what I got; http://imgur.com/8m48hMJ Version 1.06C r3 by Nyeruds

Hey guys. Running a nostalgia trip down childhood games. Downloaded the game, working my way through the campaign (pretty slowly), will probably get stomped in a few online games then move to RA and do the same (and move to Tiberium Sun and do the same). I don't remember the hotkeys, and can't find them in options. But I see people talking about hotkeys in a few threads here.
