Otherwise NAC 4 has been a high level event, but it was really stupid from Nili make a joke, which may give trouble to one of the players in their home country.
When Nili wants to be a top tournament organizer, he should control himself and not make jokes about international politics in the...
I watched Dash casting qualifiers with Nili. He is a good caster and knows AoE 2 somewhat well, but you could guess that AoE 2 isn't his main game. His gamesense is not same level as proper AoE 2 casters. But he did very well post game interviews.
In NAC-format casters cast with other caster or...
If any player wouldn't have visa and couldn't travel that would have been announced.
In theory replacement player could be called, if one player cannot go, but that is very unlikely now.
Communist China considers that Taiwan is a part of China and thinks officially that the Republic of China(=Taiwanese government) is illegitimate. De facto Taiwan acts many ways like an independent country, but most countries in the World don't recognize officially Taiwan as independent country...
If I understand correctly, originally Microsoft gave $100.000 for prize pool and Nili negotiated with bigger sponsors for covering the event cost when NAC4 was announced. But then sponsor negotiations failed and Nili asked for Microsoft to use half of $100.000 for event cost instead prize pool.
Brackets has much same than in the 1st qualifier. DauT, Nicov, Dogao and Capoch were also in same bracket in the 1st qualifier.
Seeding were accurately, when from the 1st qualifier seeds 1-3 qualified and seeds 4, 5, and 7 were in final round.
Seems to me that the audience and tournament organizers of AoE 4 want more entertaining games by gimmicky tournament rules, but pro players don't like these rules because they ruin competitiveness
Overall problem is that AoE 4 isn't enough entertaining game for realize proper e-sport scene...
It's Nili's Apartment Cup, so it's him to decide who caster is to be invited.
But personally I would like to have seen Memb as a caster in the tournament. His style is a bit controversial, but he knows the players well. He has have good viewer numbers in his organized tournaments, which proves...

Well Age 3 and Age 4 both were made easier to play than old and complicated Age 2. Look at where they are now.
Shared exploration could be good in match making team games, but maybe not in high level tournaments.

The tournament had high level game play and the organizers make good choice to invite Ornlu, who is sometimes underappreciated, as co-caster. But promotion of the tournament seemed indeed rushed. Felt like the Grand Melee rode on the hype for AoE 2, which is created by others. If there will be...
When you organize LAN-event, you need invest more money in organizing, and one of the best way to earn money back is make event streaming closed and force audience watch your channel, where are your brand and sponsor's ads displayed. 3 NAC:s and 2 Red Bull LANs were also closed streaming, so it...
