Thats the way to build hype for an event, post the event 6 hours ago so it doesnt show up on the calendar too early, plus dont announce anything about the matchups (and the players playing in 1v1/2v2 stage, doesnt apply here) or who will cast the games on the Escape channel.
Infos found on the escape-website: We will see BzK vs. SY, Frantic vs. Heresy, aM vs. VNA and Secret vs. Suomi in the first round.
Settings: BO3, we will see 3 out of the 7 Maps Arabia, Bedouins, Oasis, Dry River, Mediterranean, Hideout and Sunburn.
Civ Settings: The 10 civs Britons, Byzantines, Ethiopians, Franks, Huns, Italians, Mongols, Persians, Saracens and Turks are in the Civpool for this event. Teams must use at least 2 out of those civs every game, and they cant repeat a civ during a series.
Apparently there was some kind of (Podcast?) a couple of days before this stage?
Why didn't we get any heads up here?
I saw it on twitter when I checked how this stage was announced there.
Don't get me wrong I love ECL, but it seems like the team gets (sorry if this comes over as rude) lazy lately.
This is at least what I feel when it comes to ECL now, maybe there is more going on on youtube.
Hey guys! Yes, we totally forgot to update the calendar here, apologies for that- however the countdown on our website was live, the facebook and twitter feeds had information in the week and the 14GMT Saturday time has not changed since the start of the event. Next time we will remember to update this calendar sooner!
We did indeed launch a podcast with Ornlu and Roech (being proactive in doing new stuff?), the first one was a case of ironing out the creases and the availability of the guys was quite short notice. So there will be more info about that coming in time for the next one- Thank you for your understanding!
No problem, that can happen. But i dont think many people are going to check your website just to get those infos, at least for me the place to get all aoe infos should be here (the escape discord seems pretty dead as well). Sure, starting time didnt change but theres not a stream every weekend, yesterday i was pretty sure there wouldnt be one today because it wasnt announced here.
I really think announcing the matchups for 1v1 and 2v2 stages here would be a good idea, it would give us at least something to talk about (and yes, i found them on your website for the last event, but again i dont think that many people are going there just to look for that).
