1. Provide a list of aliases. These are names that people might recognize you as:Sonnenburg
2. Please provide some replays of LTD Mega 3.41 games so that vouchers can better assess your skill level. (Do not provide replays where you go merc, cross-build, double-build or aura swap as these tactics are not allowed in the LIHL): I have attached 5 replays which are decent games, keep in mind I am playing against people who cross and aura swap so value/sends are a little more difficult to manage. I learn something new in every game I play, which in my opinion keeps me on my toes.
3. If possible, provide a list of LIHL players who might know you or that you are acquainted with:WolfWarrior, Krumme are two players I play with here and there when our times line up.
4. Any additional information that you would like to provide: I have learned a lot since my last vouch. ie. importance of income/lumber compared to a small leak. what good landmarks are for certain stages in the game. I am thrown off in some games due to the fact the other teams do cross and send incredible amounts of sends at me, rather than everyone playing solo. Please consider me for LIHL, I am very anxious to play against top dogs...there is only one way to get better... and that is play against the best. Thank You for your time.

Hi and thanks for applying. I've moved your thread into the correct forum and we will check your application some time later.

gg2: Your early built is really odd and you leak lvl 3. You don't build for lvl 4, so you leak lvl 4, yet you got enough afterwards to have a LOD for lvl 5. At this point I was wondering "Did he have the LOD to begin with or did he reroll?". If you had the LOD to begin with, then you better don't pull that stunt at lihl. Later for lvl 10 you build an egg sack. You could have built that egg sack for lvl 4 and gotten the gold you missed out on and therefore still have enough for a LOD.
The egg sack for lvl 10 was a terrible decision in my opinion. Extremely useless and you could have built a wisp instead for that gold.

gg3: When I saw the first Veteran (peewee upgraded), I was like...mkay...it has medium armor and gets extra damage at lvl 2 and 3. But when you built a second one for lvl 3, I was pretty shocked. Especially when I saw you got tribesmen and LOD (again). Building a wisp before lvl 1 is not a must. You would have leaked lvl 3, but you got no sends lucky you.

gg4: 2 turrets is enough for lvl 1. You are left with 70g + 119g you get from round 1, you will have 189g for round 2 and that's another 2 turrets. That way is better than what you did. Your incoming was not good as yellow pointed out. You guys up king (4x yolo), yet you try to hold 10, which you manage, but what for? You could have incomed instead. Imagine you would have held all or some bosses. Your allies would have been screwed for good. Since they leaked 99 for lvl 1, that game was already over at that point. Btw. if you do the built I described, then it also spares you from building so many warlocks, which is useless for early stage.

gg5: Why would you upload this? It ends at lvl 3 and is also not optimal. Nightmare can clear lvl 2 alone if a bit lucky. You could have build a t1 for lvl 2 or t2, and then sell it for lvl 3 in order to get a 2nd nightmare. But since you also got turrets...usually you would go turrets yolo with those towers in lihl.

gg6: Wolverine-built not that good. You cannot hold lvl 7 or 8. Don't even try. Just focus on having 5 wolverines for 10.
For lvl 1: 2 blood orcs, 3/0
For lvl 2: 3 blood orcs, 3/0
For lvl 3: 4 blood orcs + 1-2 little orcs, 3/0
For lvl 4: 5 blood orcs + 1-2 little orcs, 4/0 or 4/1 or 3/1
For lvl 5: Up one wolverine, rest wisp or lumberjack
For lvl 6: Same as lvl 5
For lvl 7: Same again


Don't think you are quite ready yet. But close.

Just letting you know that in gg2 and gg3 i did not start with the lods, i had to rr.thanks for your advice, it's pretty easy to poke holes when you see the entire game but when you are playing lvl by lvl you never know what the other team is doing...also my teammates are not always up to par or able to hold some lvls, so a lot of the time I am trying to compensate for them. I am not sure why you guys keep poking holes in every game I have but if you have the time, lets have a game against each other...or let me poke holes in your replays...guarantee there are holes...especially in hindsight... no one is perfect at this game especially when half the ppl cross build or aura swap against you...I think the build would be more reliable/stable if everyone had to build solo and follow rules and I could 100% count on my teammates...WolfWarrior and Krumme both play with me and have said that I should be vouched. Am I a perfect player, no I am not, but I think I am ready for more serious competitors...

About teammates: Just look at them during the game. The only time that played any role was when you were supposed to push income while upgrading king. Even the value-guy from the cross had higher lumberjack than you after 10 (7/5 vs 7/4). That was just unnecessary. All the other comments were about your build.
I didn't know several builds either even after I got vouched, but I kept asking and observing when I got some of the towers. For example the turret-build I didn't know. The wolverine-build I kinda did (not 100%).
Try to react faster for lvl 1, if you got shitty towers. Like place 2 captains or 1 captain and 1 mermaid and reroll. If you get a LOD, then you can still abort wisp and sell the towers you placed. Rather semi-yolo or hold with LOD than trying something risky/odd as captain&mermaid or druid&veteran stuff.

The reason is so you know that it is not ok to play like that. If we don't say anything, you might think that's totally fine and try that in lihl. We don't know whether you realized whether some your decisions were mistakes, so we point it out.

Am I a perfect player, no I am not, but I think I am ready for more serious competitors...

That's ok. I just think you should watch some lihl games to see how to yolo right and how to hold right. For example I don't know whether you know how to hold with something simple as blasters, or greymanes or yggs or spawns or so. But Krumme and Wolfwarrior might have some info about that.

[sonnenburg]

Can I please have someone more experienced rate me...

[Hutzu]

Could we have someone more mannered apply please...



My opinion is not really what matters here. I was trying to help and point out some mistakes. Sorry I annoyed you with my well-intended suggestions/critique...

[Diablo_]

You should be open to critism if you want to be part of a "pro" league and actually be grateful for useful feedback. Nonetheless I don't agree with everything Hutzu said, but will watch your games in detail later.

gg2: You really shouldn't have that build for level 3. Level 4 was a big fail.

gg3: Really bad choice to make another Veteran for level 4.

gg3: Quite late pushing. Seers suck.

gg4: No comment, enemies gave up at lvl 3.

gg5: Don't make Wolverine before lvl 4/5. Game over at 7.

Well, you aren't doing that much wrong, but you are also never playing really well. The replays you attached are also pretty random ones and you will need to show more (and not again ones ending at level 3 or 7). I haven't made up my mind yet.

[sonnenburg]

Ok thank you I will work on more replays that last longer. I appreciate the advice btw, I am not ungrateful....talk soon.

thanks again.

There is so many things that u can do with wolvs...we dont have a unic strategie to build it....depends on sends 1 2 or 3... Depends on how much income u want to have on 10... Depends on how many wolvs u want on 10 ( 5, 6 or even 7 )..,, so wolvs r difficult to judge....and i think as the best wolvs builder on lihl ( my wolvs r famous serious ) i think a wolv build is really difficult to judge....

[eldryan]

my wolves are best. because they never get built. js
