I am curious to see how it turns out, because it is something completely new and which teams reach the top is unpredictable.

But I also see that Chrazini is ready for maximum stress levels with handling multiple rounds of 3v3 matches in one day with many matches happening at the same time.
So I hope it works well.

As @Huehuecoyotl22 pointed out, "the event is open for up to 128 different teams in the qualification stage" seems like a whole different level of scheduling, especially since it's at best 768 players. All I can say is I hope Chrazini comes out sane on the other end. Almost seems like a punishment this.

I dont understand the logo design. Whats the point of enlarging the "R"? If its some sort of acronym like Lord Daut Cup then I guess its fine, but it isnt. Sometimes more is just less imo.

I tried to watch recent aoe4 2v2 showmatch (with Viper, Daut) but it turned out to be even more boring than watching 1v1s

which is a shame because watching team games in aoe2 is so much fun.

therefore this tournament announcement is bad news imo. Not excited at all

Finally some good news.

EDIT: QUOTED POST is gone :cautious:

Ah wait, i need to write something on topic then... Hmmm...

Thanks for cancelling AOE2 tournament that is announced as annoucement that will never be announced and replacing it with this announcement for a game that killed our 20 years of love.

Huge respect for chrazini and Lidakor for supervising this tournament. 128 teams in one day sounds crazy, wish you best luck and hopefully you dont get too much grey hair from it. Anyways always nice to see tournaments with big signup limits, so nearly everyone can participate :smile:

LidaKor cannot just switch prize pools from aoe2 to aoe4 as MS sponsor specific tournament not host.
LidaKor as streamer has better stance on aoe4 esports than on aoe2 so it makes sense for him to host aoe4 tournaments

Didn't you read? His 20 years of love are dead, now only hate remains. Very much like Anakin turned into Vader.

You should check the AOE4 subreddit, it's mostly AOE4 players complaining about how dull siege + blob deathball vs siege + blob deathball is, and how it's possible to reach those compositions with little units.

Meta commentary on the relative lack of success AOE4 has had outside of people whose income depends on the game is relatively small in comparison.

I'm confused a bit by the name, is this an actual Pro League, or just a standard team game tournament?

Maybe it's just me, but when I think of a Pro League in most games it is usually formatted as something of a frequent event that awards points used for seeding. Seeding then determines who gets to compete in 'Minors' or medium-ish sized tournament events. Then there is often a Last Chance qualifier, which along from the results in the Minors determine who gets to play in the 'Majors' which are the big S tier tournaments.

I've been hoping for something like this system to be implemented in AOE2 for a while to actually give the scene some structure and solve the issue where the seeding is at least partially arbitrary each tournament. Nothing has really gotten me too excited for AOE4 so far, but seeing this my first reaction was pure excitement... only to realize this didn't mean what I thought it meant at all. All the small events would mean something, I'd be able to follow how people are doing if they are able to qualify for the Minors, then the Minors themselves would be hype to see who is able to qualify for the big show etc.

But just so I'm clear, this has none of that intent, does it? This tournament isn't set up in some official way, where the results mean anything to some of League, right?

If it's just me confused I apologize lol.

This was the first thing I thought of too. When I raised this point in his stream chat he said the name is a work in progress and will possibly change in future iterations. For me it does not suit a team game series at all but who knows

To me "league" also means exactly what you explained. So I agree it can be confusing and could be changed to something else.
Many of us have also been waiting for something like that in aoe2. I'd really love to see it. I really think it would attract more viewers.
