@MaSmOrRa 's Kings & Plebians episode with Nili was great. Brought up a lot of the points people here have been talking about. I will say that Nili seems pretty delusional about the whole thing.
He claims that hosting this aoe4 tournament does not hurt aoe2 because it shouldn't affect aoe2, but in Nili's video explaining the announcement he says that he could have gone with either aoe2 or aoe4. So, the decision was not whether to host an aoe4 tournament or not, but whether to host an aoe2 tournament or an aoe4 tournament.
I do not recall Nili saying that he decided not to host an aoe2 tournament because there were other events or to balance the funding between the two games. Instead, he made the decision primarily because aoe4 is the game he is most interested in right now and that's what he felt would make the best event (presumably because he wouldn't be as interested in an aoe2 event right now and he's the one running this one). It's a bit rich to suggest that a decision like is not hurting aoe2. It's like having a plant and saying that because you're not watering it, you're not hurting it - meanwhile, you have an irrigation system set up for your new plant (aoe4).
It is what it is. Hopefully, we get some decent events for aoe2 this year. Memb confirmed BoA a while ago. I'm sure t90 will do a big one at some point this year as well.
