Why do they change swiss systems from round to round ?
And why do they use a swiss system in the first place when there is only 4 rounds...
I've used it a lot in competitive chess tournaments, and a swiss system has 2 main issues :
1/ it's a mess if there aren't enough games compared to...
I mean, I'm pretty sure I've seen tournaments where they force maps and where they simply compensate by picking less home maps.
E.G : here you have 4 "open maps", each player picks 2. Instead of this mix they do here. The end result is the same (certain maps are forced if we go to 7 games).
I...
Since there is (almost) no way you play your 3 home maps, it's a pro move to avoid playing Islands Kappa
What's the ping of a brazilian on UK west btw? Since mb is somewhere in Norway, the ping could be somewhat fair maybe?
You should also remember that most, if not all, of the quarters were played before the 18th. The nice thing about hidden cup is that strats are not seen before the semis due to the recs.
So we should only have 4 players still in the tourney (semis are played today). Based on that, you have way...
The only set that really confuses me is Ivaylo vs Bela.
Bela had an awful performance. Tons of idle eco, titanic game 2, panic engage against militia while his militia were upgrading to m@a in game 1, 3min idle tc in 22min, etc.
We all think Ivaylo was a great player because he demolished...
MbL for sure, Hera sometimes, Nicov later in the set.
It's definitely not one of the asians (too well written), not one of the GL guys, too lazy (Daut) / too nice (the others).
Between that, the fact that mbl was seen yesterday and the hussars, we've finally found Hera :D
I'd argue Jacqueline is possibly Barles.
Villese took the sides on slopes, Jacqueline and Barles didn't.
Villese globally banned mayans against Laaaaan.
I think there are as many reasons why Jacqueline isn't Villese as there are reasons she is, or more.
But I guess we can agree those 2 are...
Honorable mention to Daniel, who played very well against a clear favourite, and should have won the set if he didn't throw the islands game terribly. But that's the problem with long and tiring sets, and some lack of tournament experience. You can't play your best every single game.
I voted...
And it's the most logical thing to do. You don't remove the mirror option for the 10 people that won't buy the dlc.
This dlc will be bought thousands of times by people that want to do the campaigns mostly.
Falsely allowing mirror for people not owning the dlc is simply absurd, gets them a...
I wouldn't call burgundians weak. By screwing around with a first try I made a 28+2 fast castle on arena with all eco upgrades picked up in feudal, 13 farms seeded in feudal (so with the castle age upgrade), and could instantly drop 2 tcs when arriving in castle (at 16.30 I believe?)
That was a...
It's so nice of them to design these Burgundians like that, for all the people that missed on the lancer fun in December 2019.
+ I will finally enjoy the few campaigns where you are stuck in castle age with no real unit to make with Burgundians 11111
EDIT: burgundians don't have bloodlines...
The main issue I see is that nobody would ever go that lancer route in teamgame, because you need to somehow mix range and melee, melee being the "tanks". The lancer as you described it gets destroyed by arbalests. So everybody will keep on playing paladin instead of that new unit.
Aside from...
I think wannabe coaches for aoe2 could learn a lot from chess coaches (something that has been done professionally, for a long time).
It's probably my chess background speaking, but it feels to me completely logical to analyse what went wrong after the game rather than during it, to not only...
What I found particularly sad is the number of forfeits in round of 256 and later.
If you can play only 1 game, don't check in... Unexpected events can come up obviously, but there were so many forfeits. And those forfeits are annoying for everybody.
I was especially surprised to see a few...
