70k ppl would seem to think so. What would you have in its place? Some other one-off S-tier that maybe gets 30k viewers?
It’s indisputable that its draws the biggest audience for scene. Right up there with Red Bull that had a whole production team and rented out a castle to achieve the same...
I disagree on this front. At least w/ tourney Viper. Ivaylo was super cut throat in HC4 and looked amazing. Just happened to run into Hera and got tilted by the home map situation. He destroyed everyone tho before that and looked really sharp the whole time iirc.
I'm definitely leading w/ my...
Nicov single-handedly baiting the whole community to ruin their HC5 predictions so he can win whatever bracket challenge T90 puts forward. Next lever stuff 11. For real though, love the discussion and I'm lovin' the deep dives. Despite all the insight, I'm sure my bracket will be in tatters come...
Those lures confirmed Daut for me. Having like 7 mostly dead vils under your TC always screams the Lord. 11.
I saw ppl saying that Selim's draft looks like a YO draft. Does it? Doesn't he normally draft towards comfort (kts, UU) over everything else?
It seems weird that he'd pick two civs...
First Nili killed AoE2, then T90 & Viper, and now GL. I’m gettin too old for these kind of hot takes . Yes it will definitely change the dynamic of TG’s and even 1v1’s and it not all going to be good but to say GL have killed the game after 1 day and over 1 player is just such a lazy take.
I think that's core to my question to chris_voobly. He said there has been no innovation so what does he actually mean by that? Is it just implementing improvements that already exist in other games or even Voobly or is it something novel to the UI, matchmaking, or gameplay? And if it's...
When you say "no innovation, at least not for multiplayer", what would you be looking for? Would implementing the things you outlined in your post count as innovation or just improvement? Just curious to hear what innovation means to you because I think improvement vs. innovation for a 20+ yr...
I'd recommend checking out the Town Center episode w/ Viper and T90 that just dropped on YouTube. It sounded like none of the major platforms were offering any additional $$$ this time around, at least for Viper and T90. It seems that a lot of the Fbook $$$ was driven by the hype of AoE4 and...
Just to throw a few ideas out there for Warlords 2...
Previous: Open, Semi-Open, Closed, Nomad, Hybrid, Water, Chaotic.
New: I think it would be awesome if we could use Warlords to highlight some of the best maps that came out of the tournament scene the year previously (or ever). I'm not sure...
A couple of random
1. Tournament Hype
I think the "majors" are still hyped up but I think what is really hurting the tournament scene is that is is heavily dependent on independent casters and the production quality that they can or cannot bring to bear. I know this isn't news but there have...
I wasn’t ever around when true sling was allowed in TG tournies so take this with a grain of salt.. but could it ever work to allow unrestricted sling in X number of games in a set?
So keep the standard sling rules (slinger must be one age above slingee) for the set but for 1 game (bo3), 2...
Probably not best suited for a "most influential list" but how about HappyLeaves for his work on the Spectator Dashboard? Maybe better suited for an "underrated contribution" list but I feel like the dashboard has made life a lot easier for players, casters, and viewers alike.
So can we sign up still or not? It says it’ll have info on sign ups but also says the deadline was yesterday.. which is unfortunate timing for the announcement then.
I think we’ve also learned to make sure auto farm is turned off in the super late game… iirc ruben auto-seeded two farms (one of which I think he had lamed in Andre’s base) and because of those farms couldn’t afford a new monastery.
I think it’s weird that people are even using the word sellout. I’d compare streaming to being a pro athlete, at least in this case.
You put in a ton of work and time on the front end with no idea that it’ll ever pay off.
When it finally does pay off and you reach some level of success, you...
I just watched an AgeofNoob video on it. It’s a bug where, for some reason, when you use right click, mangos standing still aren’t killed by direct hits but moving ones are. https://youtu.be/BlzHL3GqNJw
