Big thanks to the players for being open to trying something new! Daut and...
I think many if not most people would like to see more TG competition in 2024. The typical reasons for not hosting TG tournaments are A) lower viewership and B) the fact that it's an admin nightmare. I'm not convinced by A (the obsession with viewership in general is pretty tired at this point)...
I started following this game with ECL, whose tournament website described Arabia simply as "the bread and butter of competitive Age of Empires". There was a stretch where G1 Arabia was the standard for all major tournaments, or if not, you could usually expect it to be played at least once per...
Parameters: you get 4 S tier tournaments, 4 A tier tournaments, 1 LAN, and $500k to spend.
January—World Rumble—$20k (A Tier)
February—Titans League, but with a full round robin like EGC recently did—$60k (S Tier)
March—Masters of Closed Maps—$20k (A Tier)
April—King of the Desert—$60k (S...
Similar to SC 2's weekly. Here's why:
Diversifies competitive scene: let's be honest, most tournaments don't appeal to everyone. MOA 7 is great for some, awful for others, and somewhere in between for most. Because they all have unique settings, the same could be said for any tournament. A...
A question for the old timers I guess, since I know we haven't had this since I started following the scene around 2018. If there has been one, was it any good? Were the games shorter? Were there interesting opening build orders? Did it make civ variety better? I've thought for a while that...
We've had more than our fair share of mixed map/map draft/civ draft tournaments as of late. It seems in fact to be the new default tournament setting: just swap out a few maps, put a new banner on it, rinse and repeat. Here are some stray thoughts for tournament organizers to hopefully spark a...
I don't know about other people but if I see one more Turks/Bohemians game on a closed map I'm going to lose my mind. There are what, 900 unique civ matchups in this game? Yet in these high level mixed map tournaments we end up seeing a lot of the same matchups over and over.
An idea to fix...
Regardless of what we think of aoe4 as a game, I think we can acknowledge that there are some really talented players there. But which group of players is better, aoe2 or aoe4?
The case for aoe4:
1) More total prize money won; 2) Loftier individual results (Leenock’s sc2 results are the most...
The starcraft II commentators have gotten together to crowdfund what's basically a fantasy league where casters draft a team of all star players and then play out a team league tournament: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9sQxCFJw68&feature=emb_imp_woyt
Previous versions were funded by Blizzard...
To promote more early aggression and therefore a more interesting early game, what if petards were available in feudal age from the town center? The threat of a feudal petard bust would be very good in my opinion as a walled player would need to make actual military units to feel secure rather...

Guys, first post here so please move if it's not in the right place.
I had an idea for tournament (or perhaps just a series of showmatches) that I'd like to run past you all: what about a 1 v 1, primarily land map-based pro tournament where players can only pick the "bottom" 10-15 civs, i.e...
