Re: WiC Grand Final R3 TyRanT Legends (vs) TyRanT Warlords 2
Except Genette - you've repeatedly used a results based criteria to counter Jinxed and others in the past. And on the face of it - 15-5 (15-3 counting only RM) in the final versus an opponent scoring 3-3 in RM in the semi final is...
Re: WiC Grand Final R3 TyRanT Legends (vs) TyRanT Warlords 2
This is a pyrrhic victory for those of us who love that WiC exists but criticised the various issues with the format. Equally this is a fittingly awkward conclusion for a tournament final where only one of the teams truly got there on...
It feels terrible saying this but Legion have played much better without Chris. They could cause an upset if SY are not at 100% - and I'm really looking forward to this one.
Side note - which is what happens when there's two teams rather than a first team and a reserve team to root for/against.
Only respectful as you're noticeably one of the more balanced posters on here.
I wouldn't read much into the infantry bonus for BF as an opponent would likely be walled up before. Good on water maps especially in team game for the fishing ships and the team bonus but I'd disagree with Rmcoo and...
Jesus - had no idea that Bacgiofro was in such a state. It very much makes all the criticism he's been getting over the past few days look pathetic. Full respect to Tyrant in helping Bacgiofro in whichever way they have. Nice one and very well played.
Hi John - hope you're well mate. Assuming standard BF play - boom, stone walls, imp - post imp aggression - then Japanese are not great. That infantry bonus favours the dark and feudal age. There are just too many better imp/post imp civs to pick instead of them. Again - happy to be contradicted...
Rmcoo - all those tournaments which you have referenced make their seedings with respect to transparent and traceable set of criteria. And then adopt the standard or a variant on the 1v16, 2v15, 3v14, 4vs13 (etc.) bracketing.
On the specific question of whether slinging is OP as a strategy -...
So far it's 5-1 and 5-2 in a final which has been marked by extremely efficient slinging from Legends and an inconsistent level of play from Warlords. My own view is that the rules on slinging don't have anything to do with it: SY went 3-3 with Legends on the Random Map - maybe it's just that...
+1 - Have a word with Kkab whilst you're hypothesising would you Viper? When the Grandmaster's stratagem amounts to a Viking sling game after game after game - don't be surprised when people start getting bored with buying into the equivalent concept of Real Madrid A vs Real Madrid B in the...
Don't have time to watch the rest of this game - but thanks so much for putting this on guys. And for the amazing casting!
F*** Jordan vs Viper 1vs1 Huns - this is so much more awesome. Finding water on dry arabia is the new meta!
Thanks for your comments. Here's why DM is vastly under-weighed in this format
1) There will only be 3 DM matches in 1v1, 2v2, 3v3. This is compared to a maximum of 9 matches according to how the RR/Brackets played out in a BO3 contest - a 300% reduction in DM time.
2) One of these sets of...
Isn't it interesting how it's only in the Final that the importance of having a great DM roster which has been a huge factor this WiC tournament suddenly disappears? Whereas DM matches contributed to an entire point in Round Robin and Brackets - in the context of an all-Tyrant format the...
Kkab's had a lot on his plate recently - and as we now know - things go amiss when he's not there to determine the correct stratagem. His mildly arrogant remarks and accusations of foul play by Chinese communists in the aftermath of the SY - Legends represents the greatest diplomatic threat to...
They are not categorically the best two teams as the brackets/seedings have been proven to be wrong. Legends and Warlords made it to the top two spots but only by an irregular and unusual process which deviated significantly from the criteria set by tournament rules - NaBs being seeded 8th going...
I think we're singing from the same book here RM - Everyone was far too passive and nothing happened in this game for 45 minutes except for Farmville. I appreciate the teams who have perfected BF - but Christ it can be boring.
Just had a look at the graphs - looks like you boomed for a bit too long before building military. You also had the largest economy so you must have been stockpiling rather than spending your resources. You had so much time (9 minutes game time) before celt and persians hit imperial where you...
Toughest part playing Korea is the eco which obviously wasn't a problem as you'd fully boomed. Massed fully upgraded WWs and Halbs in front of 11 range Siege Onagers is expensive but more or less unstoppable and isn't especially micro intensive - especially if your playing safe and backing it up...
Hi Accio,
Bad luck with your ally. What was the thinking behind going to trash so early, only building one castle and not spamming elite WWs to back up siege onagers. You must have been floating so much gold and wood through the game.
Disappointed in you Jinxed! Trolling or not your critiques of WiC seeding were well-reasoned, structured and commendable for doggedly sticking your neck out. But you're clearly smurfing - not sure how the mods will take any constructive ideas for future WiCs with this arsehattery!
Emphatic red...
