I think you just have a different definition of competition. You re more looking into what happens generally within top10 and just outside of it. Probably everyone would agree that nowadays there are a lot more competitors that want to get into top10 and that are close in their level. For me...
Nah there is only more competition nowadays in the top20 than back then. But there are now just as few players really competing for the very top as back then. In fact all of Tatoh, Yo and Liereyy have been around back then as well and were chanceless against prime viper as well.
The group stage was really great with a lot of unexpected results. The play offs then somehow fell a bit short i terms of quality but thats obviously nothing an organizer can control... atm Hera is unfortunately too dominant and from the players that could actually beat him, viper, tatoh and...
Phrases like that we ve been hearing by casters and pro players for a long time now when actually we have a ressurgence of the times when viper dominated and was untouchable for 5 or 6 years and the only "interesting" question was who would come second - just that now it is Hera who is...
To address some of the points being made here:
Nobody assumed that vipers and T90s switch to Facebook would be bad for the competitive scene, which it wasnt. In fact 2021 to 2023 were the years with the biggest total price pool in AoE history. It was only predicted that their switch of...
Well his form was declining ever since NAC4. His past S tear tournament results since then have slowly become worse. So it is certainly a progress over a longer period of time.
There are several reasons for that.
I guess that there are quite some work related changes in his private life. He is...
Both for Hera and GL it obviously makes sense, but having aM and GL as rivalling teams also added some nice tension to 1v1 tournaments. Now it will be basically just GL vs GL in most finals which is kinda lame. GL have proven to be just as greedy an organisation than any other too, that doesnt...
After having done so much for AoE2 over the last few years, GL has now killed the competitive scene. Not just TGs but also 1v1 will be pretty boring, since Hera will be even more untouchable with other GL members cant support each other anymore when facing Hera
