They can't just decide to do it on the weekend. Dreamhack has a whole lot of other events, The Grand Melee is not the main attraction there. My impression is that they got the opportunity to place a tournament on Dreamhack in this specific time slot and just jumped on it, even if it means making...

The plan is to attract some of the audience of the other games on busier days and to connect with other e-sports. That's probably also why Artosis was hired. Didn't seem to work great yesterday, but the fair itself wasn't very busy too. Especially Saturday will be packed, so the chance of other...

You know there were a ton of behind the scenes videos of different people, mentioning that they would move to a bigger stage for finals even before the AoE2-event started? Red Bull doesn't want these things in their main stream like a director doesn't want to interrupt their movie to show you...

I personally miss a big mixed map tournament like Hidden Cup from this year's Line Up. So Something along those lines would be great. Adding to that, the last KOTD feels quite recent, I think it could kind of take away from the prestige of the event to have them too close together.

I don't know. At my level nobody drushes anyway, so it didn't affect my personal experiences. But it's a slight nerf to their drush FC play on a higher level, which seems alright to me.

Celts are one of the most fun civs top play, evidenced by an above average Play rate. They have a very versatile economy and are decent in a variety of settings, with win rates around 50% on most maps. They aren't the best on any map, but competitive on many. I don't think they need anything.

Caught Covid during the first wave, lost my taste completely at first, still didn't recover completely and likely never will. Still I'm luck, my doctor treats former covid patients with much more serious long-term consequences. Obviously I got boostered twice since then, you don't want to go...

They use Red Bull mugs, which is a clear indicator for me that they're not actually drinking Red Bull. Otherwise they would have cans. It would also be weird for people who advertised energy drinks themselves (like Hera and Viper) to oublicly decline drinking Red Bull. I think that...

Then we would lose the very fun new campaigns, beautiful models and animations for castles, wonders and unique units and some of the best voice work this game has ever had. Balance is not the only thing that makes this game enjoyable and I'm a bit sick of the notion, that a civilization's only...

I am very glad to hear that. Wasn't aware that the following months were so stacked with tournaments.

I fear that it overlaps too much, since half of the RM Pros already signed up for DM World Cup.

We could just stick with the Champion's League Format for that, maybe at the end of the year. Wouldn't feel right to include only two players. And I personally don't feel like watching more than one big event a month.

I think that Viper had an edge over a long time because not many people could afford to play full time. This is over now, so a lot more people can fully develope their talent, which is great. Hopefully, Hera won't become the new Viper. Thinking back only half a year we had extremely close sets...

To give some context what sonething like this would cost in germany, where GL is based and where I think Django comes from. Coaching for school by students would cost around 15€/hour. The student would most likely not have to pay taxes for this if she doesn't earn more than 450€ a month. Now if...
