Overall viewers for the final was stable at around 13-15k. I was very happy with this personally, especially in context of an 11-week event that was always more about continuity of content than one big peak. Don't think much loss of viewership was down to who was playing but more about the fact...
The elite stage of this tournament does run relatively long (4 weekends), but my philosophy was to make sure that while it creates a lot of content for our audience, the burden on each player is relatively low. I wanted a design whereby the top players could continue streaming a regular schedule...
I look on here every few weeks to see what's up, immediately get triggered, respond, get more triggered, vow to never respond again, then three weeks later forget why I stopped looking on AOEZone. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?
Again, I really don't think which event got 6 more viewers...
Problem is he was over nerfed right before N4C, and as usual devs have over cooked it on the buff right before Golden League. The balance changes need to be more incremental imo.
@hereicome There is so much to unpack here, but I'l indulge you nonetheless. The one thing though that I really don't enjoy is this idea that N4C and Golden League should somehow be pitted against each other. I'm not trying to beat N4C, I'm trying to do good by the game and surpass our own...
Lol. How do you know how much I've put in from my pocket? I'm not even sure how much I've invested from my pocket. You seem to be the authority on my pockets though, so I'll take your word for it.
Last weekend the peak viewership was 12.5k, of which 5.5k was on EGCTV. Sure it's a $125k event...
Fair feedback and to each their own.
Just some of the reasoning behind this in case anyone is interested. We originally conceived of this as only a 16 player elite league event. The reason it was re-conceived as this 64 player format was to make sure that those Rank 25-50ish players were not...
Probably an unpopular (and very personal) opinion, but I think there's a bit of 'grass is always greener' with this debate. Honestly, when I got into this scene I considered (and still do) AOE tournaments as the gold standard of what an e-sports event should look like. My biggest fear always was...
Just to clarify, I wouldn't put it quite as directly as that (in terms of putting actual numbers on it or %'s). But if you go back and find it, Nili somewhere answered a question on stream where he essentially said this is one of the major determining factors in getting grants for tournaments...
