[td]MembTV and I are thrilled to announce a day filled with astounding showmatches between Secret, Aftermath and Suomi. Tune in the 21st of April and watch these incredible teams battle it out on some new unique maps - and some old classics.

The event is sponsored by MembTV (500$) and MundoAoE (100$) which leaves us with a total prize pool of 600$.
The showmatch consists of a total of 12 games - each game will secure the winning team 1/12 (currently 50 dollars) of the total prize pool.

I've been waiting for something like this for a long time. Do we know if this is a 3v3 or 4v4 or mixed event?

3v3 as per Memb comment on stream

 

Memb said that it will be impossible to sling in feudal and possible in castle age only after researching coinage with feudal taxes.
Great idea tbh, looking forward how will it work, also for the future events.

 

- Test run show matches for a upcoming mega TG event

- New maps

- 3v3

- Players can chose positions

- Sling not possible if the player is in feudal. The player can not send any res if he is in feudal age because coinage would be researched before sending res. Coinage moved to banking and it does not reduce any taxes.

 

This is amazing, really looking forward to see how the fixed positions will be, it's been way too long before we're able to watch three of the best teams use this.

 

fixed positions determined by the picked colours.... I really hope choosing teal means you get the pocket position.. otherwise rip TheMax

 

Sounds really cool! Really interested to see if and how set spawn positions changes civs and strategies for these teams. Sling mega nerf is obviously going to be a cool factor as well.

 

Exciting! AoC has needed fixed positions for years.

Let me know if there is a way to contribute to the prizepool!

 

- Max chooses flank
- Computer says No
- Spawns as cav pocket

 

I don't see what's the hype about it, Max has been using fixed pocket position for like half a decade now.

 

Exciting and promising!!!!

 

I love the concept but if team secret is not available, why not try with SY or even Heresey.
I mean its not as if Secret needs more advantage.

But awesome effort and looking forward to event.

Who said they are not available??? They were 1st to confirm they were in.

Showmatches just requiere a expecific time and we choosed those teams because you have to choose some, its invitational not like other big tournaments and because after 17-18 gmt starting a BO5-7 is like impossible for chinese teams, so then according to their performance we choosed the 3 best teams other than chinese teams.

I didn't mean as offense, but the title had this
>>>Due to time constraints and availability, Team Secret will only have to play in round two ..<<<
I 'read' this as "If they (Secret) had better availability then they would play more than just directly into round 2".

As I said, I'm sucker for any pro-level tournament, so will do my part by viewing...

Sure i was just giving information that wasnt about secret, was more about other posible teams, so we decided this format.

I think ppl mistook as it says due to time constraints and availability Secret are directly playing finals. Actually description was meant to tell entire showmatch timeline and not about team Secret.

 

It’s gonna be great, super excited. One favor to ask though: can you adopt ECL rules regarding colors, so that one team has 1,3,5,7 and the other 2,4,6,8? From a viewers perspective that makes TG so much more easy to follow when it is always immediately clear who is in which team

I think this will be the case anyway due to fixed positions. p1 and 3 are usually flank, p5 (and p7 for 4v4) are pocket. For team 2 it's p2, 4, 6 respectively.

you can´t force same colours, because if you force same colours is like saying they have to be everytime pocket or flank, the team one will be always colour 1,2,3 for example and team 2 always 4,5,6 but then players can switch according to their strategies in expecific map.

I don’t mean players having same color, I mean having the set positions so that one team is 1,3,5,7 and other team is 2,4,6,8 so that teams are clear

 

I would've stopped following this game a long time ago if it wasn't for Memb.
