AoE2 Tournament Points
I personally agree with pretty much all 3 points, but I do think a limitation of removing B tier tournaments from consideration should also be met with a greater scrutiny of how those tournament tiers are given. For example, JMB season 1 finals appears to have been given a B rating on...

TTL | Seeding
Man as much as I am currently hyped for this I just dread season 2 already. I feel like we are headed for a full on train wreck. Knowing that it is a certainty for 2 of ACCM/BadBoy/Dogao/MBL/Nicov/Tatoh and 2 of BacT/Capoch/Liereyy/Slam/SongSong/Vinchester, not to mention the other groups which...- Festivus

T90 Titans League | Announcement
To a), I guess we will have to agree to disagree. My entire point is that without the gold players proving themselves against competition at the next level, it is at very best questionable that they deserve to be there. Just saying that they earned the promotion does not address this point at...- Festivus

T90 Titans League | Announcement
Appreciate the thought behind this, but I have to say I can't disagree more strongly with this reasoning. a) I appreciate this sentiment, but it does not address my main concern of those spots being unearned. I think in general a league like this is great for putting a spotlight on new talent...- Festivus

T90 Titans League | Announcement
I mentioned it earlier in this post, and still haven't seen much discussion or rationale for how it's a good thing for 1/3 of platinum league to be replaced each season with new players who have not had to beat a single platinum league player. Would you be able to share some of the thought...- Festivus

T90 league ❤️
Thats why I kind of like the bottom 4 are relegated/top 4 promoted while next top4/bottom 4 fight for the spots. I agree there is something special about fighting for those slots, but its a very hard sell to me to say that 1/3 of the league should be replaced each season with players who have...- Festivus

T90 Titans League | Announcement
Just want to say that I've wondered how a league system would do for AOE2 for a while and I'm super excited to see it come. Both JMB and this league do amazing things in so many aspects, keeping high level players active, providing many great tournament games to watch etc. I love this idea and...- Festivus

T90 league ❤️
I think there is a lot to like about this approach, I also think JMB does some things well that could be blended with this approach to make it better. JMB is designed to increase activity in the 1v1 ladder, and the top 8 on the ladder who register get to play. Since this tournament is already...- Festivus

Age of Empires IV Pro League - Announcement
I'm confused a bit by the name, is this an actual Pro League, or just a standard team game tournament? Maybe it's just me, but when I think of a Pro League in most games it is usually formatted as something of a frequent event that awards points used for seeding. Seeding then determines who...- Festivus

KotD4 | Questions & Answers
Thank you for the details! I may personally wish some things were calculated using a different method but as I've said I fully understand how these things are complex and difficult and respect the decisions. Although this certainly does compound an already bad situation for Yo. Not only do...- Festivus

KotD4 | Questions & Answers
Thanks for explanation. I've never doubted that the organizers have discussed/are transparent but I personally haven't caught it discussed on twitch and it feels weird to have the qualifier seeding discussed in the handbook clearly and not the main event. I still don't understand the...- Festivus

KotD4 | Questions & Answers
Interesting, I'm pretty sure the lowest scores have been dropped in the past, so didn't expect that to be the solution to the Yo/ACCM RBW5 situation etc. It doesn't seem like the best way in my opinion, as it also allows people who actually performed bad to drop a score, while others are forced...- Festivus

KotD4 | Questions & Answers
Has there been any explanation posted regarding the seeding of the 16 invited players yet? I'm looking at them on liquipedia and there are several ties where the tiebreaker appears to be seemingly random which is a shame as there would be some good options. Also I wonder if anyone could share...- Festivus

RBW5 Official Unofficial Game Discussion Thread
Amazing. only word that fits. Games were top notch, Viper vs Larry in a storybook ending of a series. Production was fantastic. It was amazing to see everything the LAN offered and I hope it opened up peoples eyes to why they are so great. Any complaints are just nit picks in my eyes. Amazing.- Festivus

RBW5 Official Unofficial Game Discussion Thread
MBL vs Hera series has to go down as one of best I have seen in a long time, and most unpredictable/unexpected. Viper vs Hera was amazing in groups. Jordan vs Capoch was fantastic too. Preparation and quality of series across the board is some of the best I remember in a long time. Really...- Festivus

Why replace interviewers with a pretty face with no game knowledge?
I get how if you are looking for a strategic deep dive into the series that just occurred this could be a disappointment, but instead of criticizing her, think about what production has made her role to be. The interviews red bull seems to want are more typical post game interviews - 'how are...- Festivus

RBW5 - True Ranking Explained
This should have been made clear to the public not just before the RBW5 qualifiers, but ideally in the announcement for RBW1 explaining there are 4 minors leading up to 1 major. As excited as I am for the tournament, and for a cool LAN - I have always thoroughly enjoyed the production value...- Festivus
