Am I the only one who's not a fan of trying to balance all civs for 1v1 (pro) Arabia?
Imho it was always the charm that certain civs are very good on closed maps, water maps, fast open maps, some only perform well in team games, etc... Of course, since 90% of the tourneys are (pro) 1v1s that...
The worst cast of the tournament was the final game of Lierrey Viper.
The casters (i actually forgot who it was?) seemed deadset on this being Viper's game, he would push back Lierrey any second now, Halb EW is impossible to stop, etc.. and the whole time he has zero on gold and they act...
I'm gonna go with paraphrasing something Ornlu said - there are few things that feel so nice to watch in competitive AoE as a well oiled Suomi team firing on all cylinders in a 4v4 match. For me always the equivalent of Barcelona playing peak tiki taka football.
Watching TheMax tear it up in 5...
I agree with the general sentiment, but don't forget one thing - what kept this tournament enjoyable even for the one-sided matchup is that every map matters. Too many tourneys see underdogs having a great prepared strat or a great game and getting nothing in return for it because they simply...
If the teams that arguably have the best communication (Finland China), so stand to lose the most from shared exploration, are for it, that's pretty decisive.
Other question: seeing that a 16 player tournament just got a 100k USD funding, what steps would be needed for the World Cup to receive...
I hope the 'ruining other players chances to win anything' is meant as a joke, because I cannot for the life of me figure out how this is something bad.
The guy joins a lot of small tournaments, giving people the chance to play against a pro, making tournaments more interesting, etc.. it's...
Hi everyone,
I have a bit of a problem, i love following AoE2 but I cannot for the life of me watch a series where I know the result already - feels pointless and boring. However, I work full time and can only watch recs on some evenings..
I love the idea of TTL, but it's super hard for me to...
I am not sure if he still sees it like this, but I faintly remember Viper saying in a comment a couple years ago that 'bad' civs are simply that - bad and not so fun to play and watch. Especially the more one dimensional ones or the ones lacking key qualities/upgrades for the map type. So...
To post a rare gameplay comment:
Did anyone notice the crazy parity this tournament had? From 11 main event matches (8 bracket matches and 3 show matches) a crazy 9(!!) went to a decider match. That's absolutely insane to me. Only Viper - ACCM and Hera - Tatoh did not go the full length. On the...
I am a guy that has a regular job so I am desperately trying to rewatch the weekday streams to catch up before I watch this weekend live. I finished Thursday yesterday and am looking for the Semifinals/Friday, which is not on Twitch.
Can someone confirm me via PN (i don't wanna read posts here...

+1 for OrnLu, today is a good reason as ever to tune to his channel for the first time, super knowledgeable and competent caster who's just nice to listen too and blows a lot of other casters out of the water with game knowledge etc..
I'm happy the money got redistributed a bit, but for the love of God please people/organizers start thinking of the non-EU/NA players for once. Having these short term announcements and this whole EU focus seriously screws over our huge Asian and SA community time and time again. This is hugely...
Man so happy AM takes it again, and in the best fashion possible. The last couple games really went to their strengths. MBL cockroaching, Lierrey as power flank and Hera as Max-style pocket. As soon as they got into that groove and GL did them the favor of forcing them in these positions it was...
Can actually exactly confirm, went from 30€ for 100 Mbit to 20 CHF for 1Gbit.. but what got me most was the 25 Gbit option, like wtf, the only way Germany ever reaches that speed is if we drive bags of hard drives down the Autobahn
Shouldn't it increase water terrain size via the coasts and then rather turn forests and wetlands into deserts? Would thus only compound the problem imho, depleting natural resources and increasing water surface makes the need for trash water units larger.
I always felt the major thing in sports is living the lifestyle of earning 5M/year without realizing that if you you only have 5 good years, over yout life its actually "only" 500k/year, hence the drop.
People have always been paid on two things, and neither of them is hard work, tho hard work...
One point I haven't seen added yet is the fact that many people severely overestimate streamer income. Not the numbers, but rather how much that is, in comparison to alternatives. As an intro - 78% of NFL players, a dream job with high salaries for many, are broke within 2 (!!) years of...
