Yeah I agree with the Astralis comparison and I'd like to add that their playing style was also quite boring, which also somewhat applies to Hera, compared to Vipers slightly flashier "quickwall" style.
I'm not sure about this though, Vipers fanbase was probably one of the most disliked...
I think this change makes sense, but it also makes me wonder if maybe it's time to get rid of the hidden aspect for players entirely. As Viper already mentioned on the GL post match talk, you can make pretty good guesses who you'll be playing depending on the server. But this also leads to a...
Moderating during both NAC5 and HC5 I saw a lot of people hating on him, way more than any other player, so he's definitely right that he's getting a lot of hate.
I also don't think it's only due to him being dominant, because comparing it to when Viper was the most dominant you saw a lot of...
Wasn't talking about the Fast Imp strat itself, but about the trick to delay building the castle until you click up to imp, which I haven't seen used before
During the Turk Fast Imp build order, Alexios delayed building his castle until he had the resources to click imp at the same time so his score wouldn't drop as much. I haven't seen anyone else use this trick before, is this something someone else has done in the past?
Anyone knows which players don't use autofarm? Jean Bureau isn't using autofarm, and I only know MbL doesn't use autofarm, but not sure about the lesser known players.
It used to be the case that the brackets were made privately, but they've changed their procedure since last edition iirc.
While they used to make the bracket themselves, now they gave all the players their names and after that they drew the bracket live on stream.
In theory, you could still...
While I'm not against it in principle, I don't think it really solves the problem, unless there's a few adjustments.
Because do fish need to be gone as well? And what stops the Portuguese player from leaving just 1 tree so their feitorias don't stop working?
Yeah it's too late now to change, I think after you've invited players and made a video with them being invited it would be very weird and unprofessional to uninvite them. Having said that, I really hope they change it for a potential future Hidden Cup.
I personally don't mind the fact that...
Looking forward to this event :D
But I have to say, it's ridiculous that the invites are determined by a tournament from almost 3 years ago. I get wanting a bit of continuity between the events, but come on, you can't be inviting BacT, who hasn't played in a tournament since KotD5, where he...
Interesting, it reminded me of Tyrant as well, but when they assembled the Warlords team. They recruited BacT from VNS, slam from RVK and F1Re I think from KGB? They made an insane second squad, but destroyed a lot of the competition in the process. Later we found out they also asked Ding...
I think the most similar examples would be Starcraft or Warcraft and they seem to be similar.
And besides those examples there's other sports as well like speed skating, where players are on the same team and coached by the same people but still have to compete against each other.
Now that the final edition of Nili's Apartment Cup is close to arrive, I thought I'd put all the information in one thread and look at how players performed in previous editions. NAC V will boost a prizepool of 50k$ and will start on Saturday the 6th of January. It will start with a Swiss...
Isn't chess elo based on tournament results? I think that's a big difference with AoE2, where it's based on players leisurely playing to keep in shape, but there's not really much pressure (outside of occasionally influencing players seeding).
For a more accurate comparison to chess, you'd...
AoE2 has had many previous DLCs, while this is the first DLC for AoE4 and people are pretty hyped about it. There also seems to be more content in this DLC compared to AoE2 DLCs, with it having 2 new civs, 4 new variations of civs, an additional campaign and 10 extra maps.
You can also see that...
