we had a one year league style tournament with offline finals at the end (ECL by Escape). But it failed (unfortunately). Viewer numbers werent as high as expected, especially in the finals. I liked the format a lot (you signed up as a team. With weekly events going from 1vs1 all the way to 4vs4...
it was already said last time that rb was pushing for a time limit. Arguments are still the same, you can schedule the weekend way more reliably. And 75min is a lot. Shouldnt matter too much anyway now.
the trailer and the artwork of the 2 figures on the banner are very well designed. The production value was already insane in the first event. Things will only get better. Would have loved to see 2vs2 as well. But hey, I am not going to complain over this. Pretty hyped!
Nili teased a tournament for August on his stream a few days back. I think he was talking about 2vs2, but not too sure I remember that correctly. Since he was majorly involved in the first red bull event, this might be a good hint for another red bull sponsored tournament. Anyway great news!
Was great fun to watch. Thank you to all the people involved.
Things I liked/really stood out:
- Organization: Smooth running order for a live event, no downtime
- Design+Production: Overlays were stunning and everything was well integrated in the "yello/red theme", Interviews + Highlights...
this time the time limit prevented another 30min of 70 skirms throwing spears at each other. Viper had all the map control, castles everywhere. Dont think it mattered too much.
I dont like it. As I said in my post, I dont really want to see a timit limit either. But if you can do it, you should go for it. Props to Hera, well adjusted, well played (in the given circumstances).
And yes, the gamemode could have been played without time limit, but than we would have no...
but thats the wrong attitude to go into the game. Your strat cant be "I will win in a 2h game" if you know that you only got one hour. Then the whole strat is just not working and you would have been better of with a different civ/strat. Your point is only valid if you apply the standard aoe...
time limit might not be ideal for AoE, but I dont really see any other option, if Red Bull wants to stick to a fixed schedule.
Just stupid that the chat goes wild and call Hera a "coward" and such things. Like its his fault that it went down like this. He played smart, he played for the win. And...
wow wow wow wow
what a series between Tatoh and Lieeery
GGs to both of them :)
only half way through the day and weve already seen it all... Boyars win the game, Incas on horses, Elite Catas losing, Berbers beating Slavs... I want more!
nice. 15 pages were not enough? or do you just miss the drama?
Small advice: lean back, enjoy the tournament at Membs or any other broadcasting channel and have a good day. No need to heat it up again. Really dont get what you intent with this post.
but how? I mean its basically the biggest aoe stream, if you visit the aoe twitch side. Hard to not find it. And its listed on the right side here at aoezone. Not to mention that it was said on every stream that showed the qualifiers that it will be streamed at the red bull channel.
Overall...
^this!!
production value is insane. Everyone on point. the red and yellow colour "theme" is integrated so well. Very satisfying to watch.
and the first series already delievered as well. Hope for 20k viewers during the finals so its a success for everyone involved!
