yepIf Gajah takes a game, or worse, multiple, shall we make fun of you?
And as always, Daut was right.My headcanon is that if the GL boys were to have a conversation after the first round matches, it would go like this:
Daut: I faced Yo in the first round and beat him. Frickin random brackets man.
Viper: Wait, I played Yo though.
Daut: Vat? He went Spanish conqs, that has to be Yo. He even had all Yo maps.
Viper: I could've sworn I faced Yo, he went Celts against me on Evacuation.
Daut: Wait, then did I play ACCM?
Tatoh: No no. I played ACCM.
Daut: Vaaaat?
Tatoh: Frickin Daut you can't even guess who you played against?
Daut: I...I don't even know anymore.
Viper: Tatoh did you win?
Tatoh: No no, he beat me 0-4.
Daut: Tati man you suck.
Hera: Wait Viper I thought I faced Yo in round 1. I even made sure to ban all his unique unit civs in my draft.
Daut: This whole tournament sucks.

T90: Guess who your next round opponent is.Liereyy: I swear T90 is messing with this tournament
Liereyy: I had to play Viper 2 matches in a row
T90: Guess who your next round opponent is.
I checked Yo's last 3 day's stream yesterday and seems like he placed farms from the bottom left almost 1/3 or even close to half of the time if it's not around the starting TC. If it's starting TC it's 80% from the right.I am having a farm issue with Siggy. Obviously the sample size is small, but the farms are weird. 4/5 are on the left/bottom left and one on the right in the most popular spot.
From what I can tell of recent VODs of ACCM and Yo's ladder games they both usually go for the most popular spot (ACCM with better consistency).
Is there anyone that goes bottom left consistently amongst the players? I'm looking to tie up any loose ends before locking in to my guesses.

Funny to recall the HC4 experience, I had even less idea of what APM meant than I do now. But the "I want a re" chat JorDan had with MbL gave away immediately that the Admiral was a very strong player who qualified, while MbL even replied in that kinda indignant way he's known for (given "re"s weren't a thing in main event). And TaToH dropping the upside-down question mark during his games meant that player could only be Nicov or TaToH.Yeah as others have said it was a loooooot easier last time around.
What makes it so difficult this year is that there are so many "new" names and most importantly, we dont have access to eAPM graphs!
Last year was very easy to confirm folks like Viper/Hera/Liereyy by going to aoe2insights and looking at the eAPM averages, but this year we dont have that.
