That's really interesting and confirms that the game is just not super competitive. I mean seriously a caster, a full time farmer, a bunch of retired sc2 pros (I mean like, wayyyyy retired) all in the top 10. Nothing but respect for ML though, he's still sick at starcraft but took a calculated risk and it paid off.For grins, I checked what percentage the top 10 AoE IV earners took of the total pie for their game this year, and it is 74%. The top 10 AoE II earners made 44% of this year's take so far, and last year's top 10 took 58% in 2021

Just to make sure what you are interested in, is this just AoE II and 1v1s with one-year time windows?Thanks for doing this, I was thinking about it for the last week, waiting until I had some spare time 11
If you have the data available, could you compare the top 16s instead of 10? As that is the standard number in main events earning reasonable prizes?
Edit: and possibly only compare A/S Tier events?
Whatever you have data for, so I guess ideally that is the past year for the top 16 players in each game, and then cut it down to the top x players like this but only counting A & S Tier tourneysJust to make sure what you are interested in, is this just AoE II and 1v1s with one-year time windows?

and then:So far in 2022, $318,681 has been paid out to Age of Empires IV tournament players, and $152,542 to Age of Empires II, which is a bit less than half.
So, using data from only S- and A-Tier 1v1 tournaments (so not counting money earned in other tournaments, or team tournaments, where it gets tricky),
since July 1, 2021, AoE IV has paid out $166,400, and the top 16 earners took $159,200.00, so 95%.
I'm a bit confused here, you said this:
and then:
Did AoE4 really have $150k+ of tournament money across B-tier tourneys and below? I had the impression that it was basically all S-tier tourneys. Wouldn't the prize pool for Golden League + N4C alone be more than $166k?
ok sure, but how can these two things be true:In addition these tier definitions are not same across the games so it's not right to compare tiers. Overall comparison is the actual picture.

AoE II has paid out $295,972, and the top 16 earners took $253,912.40, so 86%.
Easy, when Golden League wasn't flagged as S-Tier in my database! Argh!ok sure, but how can these two things be true:
For more grins, I looked at B and C tournaments, and I found that the top 16 from S- and A-Tier tournaments only take 44% of the prizes from B- and C-Tiers in Age of Empires II ($15,580 out of $35,580), and only 38% in Age of Empires IV ($28,647 out of $46,446).So both games have had similar total prizepools, and both games pay almost all of those prizepools to the top 16. Cool. Sucks to be consistent #17 tho
this was the case yesterday evening(for europe); 3 (variety?) streamers with about 2k viewers each were playing aoe4; the highest dedicated aoe4 streamer at the time had 3 digit viewersThis screenshot was totally not taken during server maintenance, AoE4 is just objectively better than AoE2.

Idk, seems like pretty clear evidence that AoE2 = DeD gameThis screenshot was totally not taken during server maintenance, AoE4 is just objectively better than AoE2.

AoE2 was DoD, but then got downgraded to DoI.Idk, seems like pretty clear evidence that AoE2 = DeD game
Does it include gamepass?AoE3 has a higher weekly top than AoE4 now? The first time I noticed AoE3 having more players was after a DLC and in the hours with few players in general. Are we in another stage now when AoE4 is indeed going below AoE3 or there is something else going on here?
