My statement was that a one map tournament for a whole month is boring for a lot of people who watch,
KOTD viewership was very similar to NAC4 across the whole tournament. Any facts to support your statement?

Memb has done a lot for the community and when he said he felt 'queefed in the face' for not being invited for certain tournaments i understood that. However, this tournament felt a bit too long for my taste. There were a bit too many games that didn't get me hyped becasue of that group stage. I hope that will be changed into full knock-out.My favorite part of KotD V has been the winner interview and Hera's honest words of appreciation and gratitude toward Memb. There are so many aspects to the game and community, some parts we enjoy more, some parts less, some even frustrate us... but the most important thing is we love Age of Empires II. The game which has been with us for more than two decades and gave us so many priceless memories. It went through some dark times but stayed alive thanks to efforts of fans who persisted with it no matter what. Memb is one of the people who did so much for the community over the years. He deserved to hear these things. Kudos to Hera, kudos to Memb. Beautiful finale of the tournament. Looking forward to more in the future!

I said a lot, didn`t say all ... I think that having a `one map` tournament going on for a whole month is a bad idea to keep viewers occupied. It is irrelevant which map it is ...KOTD viewership was very similar to NAC4 across the whole tournament. Any facts to support your statement?
I hope the MoA7 drafting is introduced in all tournaments!I’d rather watch a year straight of Arabia matches than a tournament that is overloaded with gimmick maps (e.g. Golden Swamp) which provide at best superficial diversity in strategy. Drafting for mixed maps tournaments has also become extremely stale: do we really need to see more Japanese on Four Lakes/Cross?
Didn't you post same thing here: https://www.aoezone.net/threads/kotd5-discussion.185831/post-799438I disagree, i think arabia is MB´s favourite map and the only map where he can play top 4-6 lvl, in other tournaments he is more in the top 6-12 area
