Yo did have a 2-1 lead over Hera at NAC5 recently and would be just as likely to take games of Hera as Tatoh, as they have a number of similarities in game play (and Hera struggles slightly more vs non meta player). In all honesty though, no one can genuinely compete with Hera once it gets to...
A little bit disrespectful to ACCM, who outplayed Tatoh and even threatened Hera for a while. I get that Tatoh is immensely popular, but why is he held in such a high status? He doesn't have a S-Tier individual win in standard player (only empire wars), only one second place in the last few...
Anyone else find the seeding and subsequent draw for the Wandering Warriors Cup to be a little off.
If you look at the 4 brackets of the draw:
- First bracket has 4 widely held top 4 players (Daut, Villese, Jordan, and Liereyy), with two who are seen as current top 5 (Jordan and Liereyy)
-...
Yes but MBL has had the biggest drop in form of top players in the last year or so. He was the one player who struggled the most to adapt the AOE2 DE and his tournament results have been fairly average of late.
For me the rankings are probably:
1/2. Viper or Leireyy, hard to separate. Yes Viper has won last two, but Red Bull Wololo was so close (and Leireyy had dominated previous versions), and if Leireyy had made final of KOTD4 then I think it could have gone either way.
3. Kind of has to be Jordan...
Vinchester has beaten 3 of the widely regarding top 4 in Hera, Mr Yo, and Liereyy. To win the tournament, he now needs to beat the 4th of the top 4, which will be phenomenal (incredibly hard route to the final). Even if he can't get over the line, he has still been the player of the tournament...
SongSong, Sitaux, and Valas all qualified for the main event of RBW4, how good! Really does show the depth in the pro scene at the moment, which is fantastic. Even Vivi comfortably accounting for Tatoh, someone who was top 10 without a doubt for a number of years but is feeling the pressure from...
Fair, but would you agree then that perhaps the qualifiers see more of the earnings giving the qualifying process is as gruelling as the main tournament? Many of the qualifying series were better than the main event series after all.
I am not going to apologise for championing players getting a higher cut of the income, as T90 is making so much more than they are and they are providing the outstanding gameplay and entertainment. Wouldn't have a prizepool without T90? He wouldn't have an amazing tournament without the players...
I understand that Tatoh has a huge following, however even in fair seeding he is consistently knocked out in ro16 or ro8 (granted he is probably more consistently top 8 on hybrid, but he hovers in the 8-12 spot generally). I think the only unfortunate random seeding was for Leirry and Hera as...
Hey guys this post was never a complaint? Totally misinterpreted.
It was merely looking and realising "hey, dogao made $3k without winning a game, that is crazy". No problem with invitations, no problem with dogao making $3k without winning a game. Just a funny occurrence. As someone who has...
For you, I would be more upset about the seeding for the qualifiers. Yes it was done off elo, but in my opinion you are clearly a top 16 player and should have been a top 8 seed in the qualifiers and avoided having to face Villese, who unfortunately for you has been so good of late.
I would...
People saying that the players agreed to settings so what is the problem. The problem is, it is an oversight... The settings would not have said someone can have 3 homemaps, the intention was was 2 each in bo7 - so the players didn't agree as you can see my Vipers response on the matter. The...
I think this post was taken the wrong wrong by some, especially the South American commenters. It was a bit of fun, when looking at the bracket and realising that dogao didn't actually win a game in this tourny and got double the entire prize pool of HC1. It is just a strange occurrence that's...
Exactly right... well thought out comment that is right on the money (no pun intended). T90 did try to drive the prizepool up by getting people to sub, however it wasn't hard to see this as a blatant money grab. If people wanted to contribute to the prizepool then donate 100% of it to the...
Even thought I personally prefer that , not like this. There is no way that the settings should allow for someone to get 3 to 1 homemaps and this is a horrible oversight from the organisers.
And people will say that this isn't a big deal, but given how close this set was and the expectation...
Firstly this is nothing against the player, just found it really fascinating... dogao had an automatic spot in hidden cup 4 after his sick performance last time, so he didn't have to qualify or play any earlier games. Meaning? dogao literally got $3,000+ without winning a game - that is insane...
