Aoe2 "Break the Meta" #21: Mass Throwing Axemen

In episode 21 of Resonance22's "Break the Meta" series for Age of Empires 2 I analyzed a situation in which both expert players massed an army of Elite Throwing Axemen in a 1v1 Franks Mirror on the map Hideout. This match answers the question "when are Throwing Axemen good" and shows just powerful they can be in the right situation. With TheViper vs. Jordan_23, you know it's going to be a good game.
