Thoughts on the tournament overall:
Co-casters were excellent across all days. Great to have different personalities and perspectives. I thought Day9 coming in early and enabling a discussion about game mechanics was beneficial to new viewers who may have discovered the stream.

Khosrau certainly doesn't seem like a top 4 (top 8?) player up to mid way through game 1, that or it could just be nerves of first HC5 game. At the start of the game observed 9s idle TC at 12m, no bit axe for several minutes, auto-farm seems to be left on when short on wood for navy, and the...
Agreed with both of these observations, DauT certainly seems to be Stephen. Those towers and the castle in game 2 was a giveaway to DauT IMO. Also that AFK scout in game 1 just seemed to fit the profile. At one point in game 2 the walls didn't seem very DauT-like, but I am not sure that's enough...
Player Profiles

I am quite concerned that this move by T90 could have a significant negative impact on the casual player base for aoe2.
We already have one substantial event, being the release of aoe4, which will certainly take a large portion of the casual audience and may well retain them as it is a solid...
It will depend more on those running the tournaments I think. When CS:GO came out, all the pros liked CS:S more but they eventually migrated because that's where Valve's tournaments and prize money went. If Microsoft wants to prevent a shift back to AoE2 after release then they will need to...
