You are talking just to talk. Was there, was watching him for like 4 hours. He clearly stated he will stream aoe2 when there are no aoe4 tournaments or if there are tournaments on both aoe2 and aoe4 he will cast aoe2. Or if there are no aoe2 people playing he might not cast aoe4 tournamenets either.As it turns out, memb was goin all out against aoe4 BEFORE kotd because he probably wanted to be beacon of hope for aoe2 content/viewers and immediately after he is done with kotd, he says he will make earthquake statement post kotd (possibly about aoe4).
He even has some fancy overlay for chat and blocking time in spectator specifically fitting aoe4 stream. One wonders whether all his posturing about aoe2 was all to save his tourney from disaster or real talk.
Thing is, what many people seem to do not understand there are many people who watched memb(including me) for like 4-5 hours or something even though the more i watch aoe4 the more I feel it might be not bad game, but totally sucks to watch. Some games are quite nice, but in many they just keep positioning and doing siege, then they lose siege and they go back for 5minutes to rebuild siege. Like there are quite many long games where is barely anything interesting especially when you convert that there 1 hours is actually 1.5 hour in aoe2.
I mean at this point there are people who enjoy aoe4 or even enjoy more than aoe2. Although there are I think even more people who do preffer aoe2, but still watching their favorite streamer besides the fact what he streams. Plus is still a new game, is interesting to see some games. Like yesterday was quite different from Genesis, tons of China, HRE.
