Isn't 50$ "like 40$" in context of tournament prize pools. Never said it was exact 40$.
And who really remembers exact details of an insignificant thing like Polaris, probably not even the sponsor. Even Cannabis's throw the money, let's find some pros on the spot and play a show match bring more value to players.
In the Escape Events all players could join if they wanted too as well, and the prizes should be enough to motivate them. I agree tho that the Escape events are not as prestigious as KotD, my main point was that saying that there were only 8 players is just wrong.on kotd all the players could join if they wanted and were motivated, 32 spots for 1v1 is alot, 1st week i will never forget casting 16 1v1 were almost all were TOP vs TOP,, in EGC not everyone could join because the system to choose the players was different, i think that is why kw1k0000 talk about BEST players, because if best players don´t want to join or drop like nicov did is one thing completly diferent that with EGC tournaments, and honestly the performance in HD(steam) is like a diferent game, i still remember the game were slam lost with 40 palads and hc, with hill advantage vs nicov piks + archers in less lumbers, never seen before slam complaining about in a live tournament, imagine how frustrated he was.
111Also please EGC = Every Game Counts - Carlos+Genettes Balance tourney last year
i didn´t even count that event, i thought they talk about escape events. But still is not really important. The important is that the players and the viewers enjoy with the event.Also please EGC = Every Game Counts - Carlos+Genettes Balance tourney last year
I think everyone could agree YoMoral of the story TheViper is just too strong. Since he's on a different level anyone gets carried by teaming up with him. The only people who go head to head against him are Yo and Vivi. Lierreyy is good but IMO lacks the experience.

I'm not saying TaToh isn't a top player in RM but he kinda isn't in DM. He did well in the Rising Star.
The snake is just too strong. I occasionally watch his stream and the difference with him and other players is that he doesn't get frustrated easily. His level of adaption is amazing which imo comes from experience.
Just curious who do you guys think is Top 5 of aoe2 atm?
Viper, Quendi True, SY Yo, aM Liereyyy, aM mbl (in that order).I think Lierreyy is good but not #2. Sure he met Viper in finals in recent tourneys but he's been at the top for only a short amount of time.
The fact that he's young and have amazing reflexes might give him the potential to get #2 or even #1 but he wasn't around when WSVG was happening.
It kinda looks that the Chinese never try their hardest in tourneys that aren't funded by SY/paladin stream. Vivi is really good but he's only inconsistent and Yo has beaten Viper in a showmatch that the Chinese community funded.
Really wish a tourney like The Expert League or Clash of the Titans was happening.

But what if the streamer is more knowledgable than I am?
I think if you want to formulate accurate opinions about who the best players are you need to get on Voobly and actually spectate expert games on a daily basis. If your primary way of watching AoC is through streams you probably have a limited perspective since you're only seeing the game through the streamer's eyes and you're liable to be influenced by the streamer's opinions/perception of other players rather than formulating your own.
Mhm I agree with you, you can catch so much more action by watching the games as speccing voobly or even better watch the recs. I usually only watch a stream if a tourney is going on.
I was just curious Andrew, who would be the best 5 players in both TG and 1vs1 in RM?
He is definitely yeah, just when SY lost nation cup he stopped play and lost level especially it was during period that aoc turned into wk so he didn’t prepare good for kotd but since it he is really above I would say all except viper lierey, in some 1v1 I spectated of him he made somes of the 2k4 2k5 rated look like novice.I haven't seen much of Yo in the past ~6 mos, probably just due to time zone, is he definitely still top-3 level? I'd believe it, he just looked a bit shaky the few times I did see him. Good to hear if so.
