The server based MP is shocking. Incredible news @Cysion.
Can you share a bit more about how it is architected? Even the most basics. I am stunned! I didn't think it was going to be possible without so many engine changes that it would become infeasible
The problem is much more about the format than the rankings themselves, although there are some glaring issues if you look at actual recent performances.
The qualification tourneys were a huge innovation in tournament format, they gave opportunities to a lot of upcoming players while...
I think everyone already knows this is absurd, but for some funny numbers:
LaaaaaN vs. MSC qualifiers in $ games 2019:
- total maps won: 9-8 (1-6 vs. #1-10, 8-2 vs. #11-16)
DauT vs. MSC qualifiers in $ games 2019:
- total maps won: 7-22 (4-20 vs. #1-10, 3-2 vs. #11-16)
in another shared but...
I forgot what the latest thought on showmatches was, but I'd love to see them included in here. Tournaments are often a procession of top seeds crushing low seeds (although formats have been improved lately), but showmatches can be made between relatively equal levels, which should help keep the...
I agree that HC offers a unique opportunity to look at things in a fresh light, but that approach only makes sense if you only like to cheer for people based on their gameplay. I get that, but I personally always choose based on the player / their storyline, so until figuring that out it's...
Fun tournament, I was skeptical at first, but once I figured out a few identities it turned out pretty entertaining. Helped a lot that MbL is playing at an incredible level now, what a treat to watch.
He's always been a great player, but he somehow seems to have gotten even better with his...
Yep, this method is super easy (relatively) to check for and probably should be at some point. I just think the "it's possible, so we should vote to include it to even the playing field" line of thinking doesn't really go very far, given that other possible things are undeniably game-breaking.
It's clearly wrong to use, but was also kind of a clever thought that took some work, it doesn't sound like OP had malicious intent. It's just people being polite in their rejection of it, not encouraging further use of it.
Unfortunately all sorts of visual cheats are possible w/o enemy...
Love seeing more attention given to TGs! To me the 1v1 scene is a bit stale at the moment; any settings, Viper is best. TGs on the other hand are far more competitive.
I'm actually really excited for this, although I haven't played aoe3 for many years (and watched: never). Interjection is clearly excellent from what I saw at Escape's Launch Party.
For aoe2 fans scoffing at the 300-500 viewer count for aoe3, those were really solid numbers for aoe2 when I...
This is great @mungo__ ! I am going to work on a new version of aoe2calendar.com soon, I'd love to collaborate in terms of integrating your ELO. Also maybe we can unify the data source for upcoming events.
Or potentially just surface a calendar view of your site on the aoe2calendar.com domain...
This is what I liked in this event:
Amazing live audience, games. Qualifiers were a great decision.
This is what made me tune in:
This event was a can't miss - the lineup, prize pool, LAN setting etc.
This is what I think could be improved:
Viper is too good at 1v1, even more so with...
Great tournament Nili! and +1 to that. MbL has a reputation for some stuff in the past (even this week outpost rushing tatoh), but to me he's one of the great people in AoE2 when he has time to reflect.
