I don't think any top player will lose on purpose but I think the unexpected outcome of yesterday's matches will incentivize the players to take more risks today and maybe hide their strategies for the later rounds
Great tournament so far and looking forward to the play-offs! I think the issue with repeating match-ups could have been solved if first round was 1-3 and 2-4, so 1-2 and 3-4 meet next and then 2-3 if seeding was accurate
Great tournament, really looking forward to it! One question regarding the group stage. In the handbook out says that the groups are 1357 and 2468. Wouldn't it be more fair to assign the teams as in a seeded bracket? So 1458 and 2367? That way the sum of seeds in both groups is the same and the...
Even if they weren't random, what's the issue? The whole point of making them random is to make it harder to identify the players. Nevertheless, random brackets are unfair from a competitive point of view to the top players except the winner. So it would be totally valid and a genius idea to...

The conservatism in this community is just ridiculous. Please don't change anything of your beloved 20-year old game.
This change will not have any impact at pro or semi-pro level, which I guess is most of the people on AoEZone. This change will help casual players to have an easier time because...
Guys relax! What if they actually use proper seeding? Obviously they wouldn't and couldn't tell us but neither pro players nor viewers would know who is who and it would still be a fair tournament. That would be some lvl 1000 mind games
I think one way of gaining space might be moving civ info to where player points are displayed and thus being able to show additional info such as relic count. But anyways, awesome job!
This is my civ ranking for KotD1, KotD2 and KotD using the PageRank algorithm:
