A nail-biter is decided by a real narrow difference, after a well-fought battle. A battle that makes you pumped up or feel lucky when you win. Even when lost, you will say "that was a good game." I would roughly define it as (1) a battle where you cannot tell the decision until the last 30 seconds or (2) a battle with an strikingly identifiable decisive moment that could irreversibly take the battle to either direction. A win by one clever move/good decision that you want to remember or a loss by one moment of blunder which tells you a lesson. Sometimes it could be just pure luck - one pixel ahead of beacon bar for some unidentifiable reason, etc. Such a battle is becoming rarer, because more battles these days seem pre-decided by the unequal numbers of whales, shocktrains, leavers, tankers, and whatnot, from the beginning. So, I decided to have a video repository of those rare cases - I would say they are rarer than me doing >1M damage these days. Please feel free to contribute with yours - a full video or an except, win or loss, all fine. Just let's not post the battle result screen to avoid the spoiler. I will start a recent TDM battle in Valley. Hope you enjoy  link to the video (720p) |

 Who do you think had won? And how? Find out here: link to the video (720p)Regardless of the result, I was surprised by the 3.8 Kumiho... Orkans still level 6 (bot level 9), so I didn't expect much. But this feeling of absolute freedom, as long as the map is more or less engraved in my mind ... Thinking of having another one for the other hangar, already have >10K unused components, |

Thanks for the video Now I know how to read that clan name ... I thought it was something written in Japanese/Chinese. Did you guys use some type of chat during the battle? It’s amazing that Adrian and the other clan member managed to avoid being encircled in a 2-vs-5 situation, with the blue spawn point on their backs. If I were the other clan (AW), I would hide and run as soon as we have the advantage, especially when the bot is dying. Perhaps that’s not as easy as in theory. Anyways, great match indeed It feels like the last quarter of a game slightly loosing with a Stephan Curry, |

Anyways, great match indeed It feels like the last quarter of a game slightly loosing with a Stephan Curry, Thank you! for checking out my video! I think AW stands for Ancient Warriors. (correct me if I'm wrong) We use comms (voice chat) on discord. In that match we've used comms, actually we normally do. We tried to draw them out in the last quarter. Expose my self and shoot(since late in the game there aren't any shocktrains), yet have a cover to always rely on. lol Stephen Curry! thanks! I hope I'm Steph Curry, Adrian is Klay Thompson lol jk jk It was a super close game and games like these make you stronger as a player and reminds you to never give up! |

One of those battles with so many Shocktrains from both sides. An ordinary player like me would feel like throwing away the device.
After fighting it off anyway, the end result was rather funny... where did he/she hide all those bots?

2 Random Champion League battles that were complete nail biters. We were getting demolished for most of the time but managed to somehow make things more competitive in the end. You can check out my other YouTube vids here: www.youtube.com/channel/UCXzk-lKjKA8pBYZdS5MSTpw |

You can check out my other YouTube vids here: www.youtube.com/channel/UCXzk-lKjKA8pBYZdS5MSTpwThanks for sharing and glad to see some Rogatka action in the C league. The first match seemed to have a leaver, but the second match was amazing. I enjoyed watching them |

It's been a while my heart pounded this hard after a match, trying not to mech out against an odd in numbers: Looking at the screenshot above, who do you think had won?

A quite laid-back battle at first... but one of the teams had to win eventually, right? |

A couple more close finishes. Thanks again for the contribution, I enjoyed watching them
The "Harry Potter" bot is quite bothersome at the later stage of a battle, if there is no suitable counter remaining and beacon bars are at stake. Recently I had a close game where I was teamed with a four men-squad (clan [TBx]) against a full squad (clan [BRA/SL] ). The fierce battle was reduced to 3-vs-3. The blue had a Taran Bulgasari (me), an Ember-Orkan Quiz, and an Invader with rooting shotguns, while the red were an Ember-Gust Mercury plus the "Harry Potter" + Mender combo, similar to your team at the end of the first match. The red Mercury made a well calculated jump (frankly, I lost track of it when it landed nearby) and knocked down me, damged others, and died. Then the remaining Quiz-Invader pair couldn't handle the Harry Porter-Mender pair.
It was wise in your second battle to have the Pursuer deal with the Harry Porter. Any fast one who can dive into the shield will be a great counter,

2 things sprung to mind after watching that:
1. That Inqy Death was epic. 
2. When I play against them, I seem to not think about it and just go for it, but watching vids of people playing against Ares (especially when the Ares has LD weapons) when they don't have them, makes me hate that bot so much more. It's weird, I don't care when I am going against them in non God bots, I guess I'm "in the zone" and just act and not think... but when I see any video like yours I just can't help but detest that bot more, each time.
Either way, well done!
IMO, YMMV

I made a mistake to drop my last bot too close to the battlefront, failing to read the change in tide. Then the mistake allowed me to watch comfortably one of the most epic battles in these days. Who do you think have won?  Find out here: link to the video (1080+p) |
