Been viewing aoe2 tournaments for about a decade now. Nothing beats watching innovative new strategies at the highest level. Hopefully we see more of BOA and with it these non meta maps.
Some suggestions to address some of the concerns from this and the other thread.
1) Use only N number of tournament results from a time period.
You can add more restrictions if needed,
a) Exclude best and worst result.
b) If participated in greater than N, use last N results. Or best N...
Feel like aoe2 needs a players' union. :smile:
Or at least a platform/forum for discussion for players where if majority of players feel some settings are anti competitive, they can discuss and bring it forward to the host. The tournament host wants his tournament to as best as possible and may...
New game modes for single player. Aside from campaigns. Maybe single unit mode. Just pick from scenarios that people have developed over the years and implement it on the main game. Like TTF Racing, Dodgeball etc. but with graphics and AI specifically for the mode.
Maybe wild cards could help solve the issue where someone like Hera or MBL misses out a season because of some reason and then has to wait 2 seasons before being back. Just have some players fight for wild card spots if they were not able to play in a season (could also the best performing gold...
Agreed. Since, the qualifiers are there to get the best players in for the LAN (where the timezone will not be an issue apart from some jet lag for a couple of days), it makes sense to allow players to play in their best setting as much as possible. The tournaments and the prizepool have become...
Chaos wise are Lyx > Rubenstock > MBL = Tatoh , but overall skill wise MBL and Tatoh are much better than both.
I think teams with overall better players shouldn't play the chaotic style since it is too risky and in order to match Lyx and Rubenstock level of chaos, you need a lot of practice to...
lol. Wasn't it the last pick?

Tatoh , Jordan and DauT did continue playing even when opponents lamed boar in a tournament that had a rule against it. So, I believe they would have let opponent choose the civ. At the end of the day, you can't blame the admins because they need to follow the...
Does AoE2 need an e-sport organization? Is it better off, if there was one? Maybe these things need to be discussed before we discuss why there isn't one.
The latest black forest meta is quite interesting at the start and boar laming isn't the reason why.
In fact, I haven't missed boar laming in this tournament at all. I don't think team game tournaments needs it in my opinion.
Let each tournament decide what they want to do. There is always...
