The only thing that i want to say, is that AoE dont need to be faster or not play the Dark Age as the original statement says. The game is perfect at it is.
On other hand, like i like to say, is a very complex game. its not easy to learn all fast, you need at least 2 years to become a top 20 player. so pro player base is stable and champions are always 4-5 players.
More to add is what kind of Esport we want. a single player game? a TG game? RM, EW, DM??
again, is a complex game, and a complete game.
For me, the best would be tournaments for all disciplines (RM, EW, DM), 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4. a calendar with 2 S-tier tournaments of all this combinations. But is too much to ask in this moment i guess. and a final meeting with a big tournament of all disciplnes as well.
