1. Egahtrac@uswest, Egahtrac_Ship@uswest (for clan tag)

2. My last 3 games tonight.

3. Haven't really looked at the list of LIHL Players

4. I play like once a week if that. Just looking for other options to play. Crossing and mercs get boring. I usually don't even like to pub unless friends are on. I've played quite a few 1v1 matches.

Hello and thanks for applying.

I haven't made up my mind yet but here are things I didn't like to see.
ltd1:
-Building a Zeus for level 4 and then incoming instead of first incoming (2 Pyro easily hold level 4) and then building the Zeus.
-Generally rather low incoming.
-Building a Minotaur for level 10 ...

ltd2:
-Really low incoming with Mortars (2/0 level 1, 3/0 level 3).
-Upgrading 2 Harlots for level 10 instead of making Zeus.
-Again all in all very low incoming and still leaking many levels.
-Pushed income very close before the showdown (I think after level 14 or 15, when you were supposed to hold level 17).

ltd3:
-Again waaaaaaaaaay too low incoming (pre 10/arena) and some questionable tower choices.

Keep uploading more replays please and let's wait for other peoples' opinion.

I'm about to play a few i'll post all the replays

Here's 3 more replays from today, the first one wasn't so good.

Just played a game with this guy on another account, and I was doing well and was going to send it in, and he doesn't heal king.

Just a fyi..

Trollolololol lol ololol.. Really?

rough start on this one but recovered nicely. although i never go to be challenged from sends cause it went down to a 3on2

Hi there and thanks for applying to LIHL

I'll take your replays 1 by 1

ltd7: really hard to judge due to people leaving all over the place. Choosing to upgrade to orc warlock for lvl 4 is close to never a good option since it pretty much is useless (compared to gold cost) on crucial lvls up until lvl 10 and especially when you have wolves and grizzly as other options, but you seem to understand when to push and when to build to hold.
Normally I would say going 3/0 on lvl 2->3 is a bad thing (you end up having 131 g when you could have had 181 and +1 grizzly) but since they sent lvl 2 it wasn't a bad choise right there to get more early wisp without leaking but since you keep pushing your lumber and wisp (fair enough, they are weak and can't send much) you can't seem to get even your second grizzly for lvl 7 and you end up leaking pretty bad (I know you got dual bo and team got 1 archer each but still you could have prevented this easily)(lvl 7 is a VERY crucial lvl in lihl and if you do not start planning anti lvl 7 with your team from lvl 1 you will end up relying on immolation to save you (and this is NOT a reliable strat)) - my point being that if you plan just a bit your gold and builds it's not impossible to get 3 greymanes for 7 (3/0 wisp/lumberjack or more if fed) - in general you did well and saw when it would be good to send but again can't really judge on anything but what you use your gold for since it was 3v2 (and you don't seem to be afraid of lumberjacking here)

ltd4: not going 2 prisoners lvl 1 is a huge mistake since 2 prisoners hold warrior send lvl 1 any day (and warriors CAN happen lvl 1 in lihl) - now since you made that lvl 1 mistake you are a bit weak for lvl 3 and end up leaking regardless - but again another prisoner is better than captain for lvl 2 (not a bad choise to do captain though) - you say you want upped prisoner already for lvl 4 when prisoners are really strong vs 4 and combined with your other towers you didn't actually have to build for that lvl - again you build maverick for lvl 5 and you rape it and choose to push another wisp right after instead of doing that lvl 4 - and you leak lvl 7 really bad without having any real income nor potential to hold lvl 7 (which is mostly how things work as a team - either you hold certain lvls or you income so you can send hard as a team)
You choose to build a wandigoo (close to never a good solution - and your entire team holds lvl 10 so not pushing more income is also a mistake) - you build goblin blasters in front (works OK together with upped prisoners behind but since you seem to have ygg in the same roll it's a poor choise) (you build 1 ygg without upgrading it and then building another blaster for 17 - again a poor choise) - somehow you end up winning (other team didn't heal it seems) but in general I do not think you can take credit for that

Bottom line: Together with diablo_'s comments I do not think you have what it takes to become a LIHL member for now but I have yet to see the 2 last replays you have posted (will do later!!) and if you feel like you have another replay lying around or you want to make another replay based on our comments - feel free to do so - the final judgement has not been made yet

@Egahtrac

ltd5:
Nice replay (except of upping Spawn(s), one for 13 was ok, but upping another one for lvl 14 is wasted gold), that's how all games should look like

ltd6 skipped, I don't watch Hybrid games.

I agree with Krumme, you aren't quite ready for LIHL yet, thus your application will be denied.
Don't be dissapointed, you can re-apply in 2-3 weeks and if we can see that you were able to improve during this time you will be welcome in our league.

In your last four replays I could see that you improved your incoming already (tho still a bit unsure how much and when exactly you can push), so that's a good sign. But you still lack knowledge of towers and regularly make not so good choices, so that's the area you should work the most on. Maybe observing some LIHL games will also help you with that.

Thanks again for applying and I'm looking forward to your next application.
