A new player facing 45 civilisations to learn (and play against on ladder!) will easily freak out. Hell, i'm an old player and also freak out about the amount of stuff i'd need to learn to improve my civ knowledge. i still haven't learned properly the last DLCs...
I was thinking about a rolling...
Time to cast the hidden games of the hidden cup!! How about that for a thriller. I'd love to watch em. Is T90 gonna cast em ? Mishaps happen, it's all good! Robo is a beast, thanks for the impressive work!
Thank you @MaSmOrRa , that was great and so much fun with Daut, as always. I wonder how that grand piano made it to your living room though.
Seriously, hearing from the players a couple ideas come out : player identity hidden to other players isn't relevant anymore and could be squeezed, would...
How sick was that reveal segment by the way ?? so epic. A million times better than last time. Superb production, great work. I think it would even be cooler if the caster's voices were audible during the video clips; like live reacting to the player's identity.
Props to Paradox ! @DaisyChain well done! Hersir, Koito, everyone else here, on twitch chats, reddit... thanks for the wild ride. Without a passionate community behind it, this event wouldn't make any sense.
Even if I'm also 14/16 like many i'm still surprised we almost all got it right and, I...
That would be my guess. I wish I had time to study the games from the start of HC, but I didn't, so i'm only lamely copying the hard work of others. I'd need 2 weeks of deep analysis to be sure. I'm confident only at 70%.
For the 3 dark horses of HC3, in the end, i'm based off farm theory, which...
If this is not a well cooked scottish Haggis, I don't know what is. wow, you guys are nuts.
I support your Sumanguru=Jordan guess; I would only switch Barles and Ganj also. But if insiders 100% recognized Ganji, well, that's good proof.
Quick check of Summanguru's farm habits:
G1 slopes, first farms on top and bottom right side.
G2 pants, first farms on right side.
G3 no info
G4 cross, first farms on right side.
G5 gold rush, first farms on right side.
G1 hidden forts, first farm bottom left, then all over the place
G2 no info...
I agree with all your picks Daisy, only I would put Patcha as Ganji, for drafts, using monks & random farming. He also picked Arabia which Ganji did a lot in qualis.
I'm not sure I can find more tells to pull Jordan and Barles appart, though.
@DaisyChain did you check all qualfiers of Ganji or only last rounds ? because in last rounds he banned cross once when possible, and let opponent ban in 2nd in another instance; other matchups were play all maps. it means the cross ban of Patchacuti is not a strong enough tell.
Chat log...
Quick check on Robert's habbits.
G1 cross: starting houses close to TC. farming: irrelevant.
G2 gold rush (home map, picked burgundians) : first farms top left and top right, then farmed on the left side because his vills were on the left side of TC at the time.
G3 evac, started farming...
I rechecked Barles' farms, he is a consistant right-side farmer, but not exactly as drasticly as Jordan. He favors bottom-right as first farm, but from time to time, rarely, he might farm elsewhere first. So I would say, considering Patchacuti, that's he looks most like Ganji, not much like...
It would be great to compile all the farm theory's findings before the reveal, see if it was actually useful. I see a lot of people disclaiming farm theory as "over-cooking", like Margou said, he himself doesn't even know where he puts his farms, and disclaims it. But actually, it's a tell...
I need to ad, because I didn't see Robert's farms, that Ganji is not a consistant bottom left side farmer. If roberts puts all his first farms in bottom left, that doesn't look much like Ganji. Ganji's style is : houses in the way, first farm bottom left then top right, then all over the place...
Yes, more often than not, if you check my analysis, his very first farm is bottom left. But we'd need more data, just 3 sets is not enough. I didn't know Robert did that. If robert did that consistantly, he can't be Jordan, who is very consistant on right side farming. Of course, we need to stay...
This HC5 is amazing, great job T90!
If I had one negative comment though, it would be the choice of having an external observer, like we saw in some past tourneys. Don't take me wrong, the observer is a great observer, does an amazing job; but the inevitable discrepancy between the main caster...
Could we use Patchacuti's random farming habbits to spot him ?
If Patchacuti can only be Barles, Ganji or Jordan, according to you guy's bracket guesses, Patchacuti is not Barles neither Jordan because they appear to be both consistant right/bottom side farmers.
Now it's time to study Ganji's...
Viper didn't choke, larry played like a beast, had strats ready for each map, read into viper's style, was always one counter unit ahead, out micro'd him, even went full kts with jap to surprise him. I'm glad, because he will be a real challenge for Hera. I doubt Hera will think about 5TC boom...
