Re: Announcing King of the Desert - 2000$+ 1v1 Arabia tourna
No ones forcing you to watch it. So don't.
If it was your money being put forward, you'd obviously have a choice about how to run the tourne.
But it's not your money. Stop being so entitled, no one owes you anything.
I have mixed feelings about this.
On one hand many people like to see new civs in action. Also volunteers have put in great deal of work in bringing HD civs to Voobly and this is the perfect way to showcase it. So absolutely great from this point of view.
From a personal perspective, the game I play, understand & enjoy is AOC. New civs, balance changes, new techs have changed things too much which make it feel like a different game. I don't watch castings to just hear what is being narrated. Castings are enjoyable when you understand the game, decisions, can predict play. None of this possible with the AOE:HD combo. If I had time to invest in learning a new game then there are many new very good games out there.
My gut feeling is that NC2017 might be the last big "AOC" tournament. :-(
