Indeed. Excellent set of matches in the finals.

Nope. Will google it.

Quick question guys. It seems that the XWIS download is no longer working so I need to buy a new copy of the game. If I go for the Ultimate collection, will I just receive a download code which I can instantly then download and play. Or will it deliver the actual code to me via the postal service?

Prep: The game is essentially lame friendly which makes it boring for most decent players, hence why on XWIS there developed a type of honour code (On Red Alert the engineer only took away about half of a buildings HP). If an honour code is not implemented here then the QM will always be a lame fest with only hardcore lamer's partaking (and the occasional Pro that is addicted to the game and will tolerate the lames regardless).

Did you not have a clan which encouraged "creative tactics", i.e. engi related crap? I also recall back in the XWIS days you being voted the biggest lamer! Therein lies the problem with obscuring a player's name.

Some very good matches in this. Poor Andy getting owned. Funny to see this considering he is the best player ever. Thanks for the pointer.

Max and Matt look very strong. Nice commentary also. Thanks for the uploads.

If you could just create a ranked match in the fashion of XWIS, every game could be established however the players see fit, i.e. no Yuri, their maps, no engi lames etc. Without that, then I can't ever see the ladder taking off here.

It is telling that Andy keeps ignoring Matt's request for a best of five series on stream.

Well Tomi dominated when there were, quite literally, 100,000s, playing the game. Nowadays we a looking at about 20 people playing the ladder. LOL!

You can watch Sunny cheating against Marko: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvvc4IkD0o0

Now we have Andy trashing Tomi's record. Laughable. You beat him in one series. Well done. That guy was rank 1 when some serious players played this game. Your rank 1 in 2018, please!

Essentially, what Ravage is saying is that it comes down to money. if the RA2 community ponies up the cash, it can be done. What amount are we talking about?

It is a real non-sequitur to suggest a noob Yuri player can simply take rank 1 because of its OP status. Essentially, the point about Yuri is that in a scenario with players of equal skill, the Yuri player has an enormous advantage. I think after nearly 20 years, there is nothing controversial in that assessment.

If the RA2 community desires a clan ladder then we are going to have to pony up the cash to get a developer to set it up. I would be happy to contribute to such a fund if one were started.
