From 04.01.2020 - 12.01.2020 the next episode of Nili's Apartment Cup is happening. It will be the first major event that will be played on Age of empires 2: Definitive Edition and is fully funded by Microsoft which resulted in a prizepool of $20,000 and will add 100% of all community donations.​

It will feature TheViper, TaToH, Liereyy, DauT, TheMax, Mr_Yo, Vivi and one Qualifier LaaaaaN.
Vivi did not get a visa and will be replaced by Qualifier 2nd place finisher Villese.
(canda) Hera is added as a 9th player.

With your beloved casters OrnLu, BBQTurkman, T90Official & Dave.



There will be a Public Viewing in Hamburg for the Semi-Finals and Finals on the 11th+12.01.2020, aswell as a Meet&Greet with all players and casters on Saturday evening. Location: Le Royal - Hermann-Buck-Weg 9, 22309 Hamburg It's 17minutes by public transport AND 16min (how the hippo walks) away from the Hamburg central station.
Join the Discord for more info

The prizepool distribution will likely look like this:
Prizepool: $20,000+Donations

1st: $4000 +20% of all Donations
2nd: $2800 +14% of all Donations
3rd/4th: $2200 +11% of all Donations
5th/6th: $1600 +8% of all Donations
7th/8th: $1000 +5% of all Donations
Caster (4x): $600 +3% of all Donations
Overlay Guy: $600 +3% of all Donations
Nili: $600 +3% of all Donations

To this point (3rd of November) we already have:
€1.000 = $1.109 donation by anonymous
€3.000 = $3.342 donation by Kamigawa, Pete_Martell & their brother and dr_scrotus , owners of a traditional Italian pizzeria in Berlin: Bye Bye Cavaliere

Anticipated questions:
Where is JorDan? What's with MbL & Nicov?

- JorDan will try to play the qualifiers, it's likely that he will have a showing no matter if he qualifies.
- MbL & Nicov (aswell as Hera) sadly didn't have time.


What's with BacT?
-
As a private person that lives off of inconsistent streaming money, it is tricky to guarantee the financial security I need to provide to bring a person from Vietnam to Germany. I feel sad that we can't have any Vietnamese players at any of my tournaments, as long as I organize them as a single person.

Will Liereyy actually train?
- I told him that I expect him to be active before the tournament and he committed to play several showmatches before the event.

Where/when can I contribute to the prizepool?
- simply via the Donation option on the stream (donations for the prizepool will count from the 1st day of the main event: 4th of January)
- you can also contact me via Discord/AoEZone for donations before that


Isn't it a problem that 3 Secret members are playing and Nili as a member of Secret could be biased?
- I have shown in the past that I'm capable of making decisions against friends to protect the integrity of my tournaments
- additionally, I asked all players if they want to have a less involved admin for decision making/ruling instead of me, no player felt that that was necessary


What Nili is a part of Team Secret? I didn't know.
- Now you do.

Why only one qualifier?
- Initially, I wanted to go for two qualifiers
- I felt that out of the invited players Vivi is probably the person that deserves a direct invite the least, but at the same time is likely to qualify (with Dogao, LaaaaaN, miguel, JorDan, Villese, F1Re, Vinchester, st4rk). There is no chance that Vivi can play the qualifier and we sort the visa out in time, though. That's why I decided on a direct invite.


How are Visas for the Chinese looking?
- Yo told me that it should be no problem. We did apply.

Why this caster line-up?
- There are many talented and dedicated casters in this community that are not on the list to attend. I've selected a group based on what I feel will work best for NAC3.
- No specific drama or hard feelings.

I feel bad for BacT or ACCM... They deserve to take part into international LAN tournaments.

Great line up.

Shame about MbL, and the others who can't make it, but totally understandable due to personal commitments.

Would like to see dogao or Villese qualify.

Great tournament. Nice work!

It's wise for Microsoft to sponsor major DE tournament in start. When the biggest 1 vs 1 AoE tournament by prizepool will be payed at DE, it will give DE so much prestige. I really hope that DE will be successful, even if there is problems at start. DE seems to be so much platoform than current HD/Voobly -combo for casual player and would be good if also pros would move to DE.

With each frame of the video I got goose bumps. The year 2020 promises a lot to this community.

Congratulations on joining Team Secret, for NAC3 and the Microsoft's involvement in the tournament, @Nili_AoE!

I'm so hyped and I really hope for a Brazilian player at Hamburg!

Dont wanna act like a hater here, but why not inviting 4 and leting last 4 fight for a spot in the qualifier? Its so frustrating for people that play in high leve for a good amount of time and have never a chance to fight in big 1v1 tournaments coz most are invitational.

It is good discussion, but I think not for NAC 3. NAC 3 is special LAN event where you want the best players.
TheYo and Vivi have to be invited due to Visa +2: TheViper and Lierrey.
Would it be good to have these players only invited but not Tatoh, TheMax, etc?
Mbl, Hera, Nicov don't have time. In case of some upsets, NAC3 could be without some best players. It would be very sad for viewers, Nili, MS,...

Think 2 Qualifiers would have made sense, but I think it makes sense aswell to directly invite vivi.
Also for NAC2 there were 2 Qualifier Spots, but there was the problem with BacT's Visa.

So I think for a LAN Tournament it makes more sense to have less Qualifiers, since it's way more complicated to organize and attend for evryone.
The frustration about invite-only is probably right, but at the wrong place.

According to your logic there is no point in playing for other players then, just make every event with the same invited players over and over again.

I think not only in this specific tournament, but in all others, every player should fight for their spot in the tournament. Especially if you are going there with free expenses paid by microsoft getting last place AND still receiving 1k USD for that.

I'm a little worried about the reqs for the 16-person qual tournament. Would be a shame if many people miss out because of the DE rating if there is some issue with that, or even just in case more than 16 top players want to try to qualify.

But overall super hyped. Understandable so many invites (e.g. Yo and Vivi to start the visa process, though sad no Vietnamese or other Chinese players).
