So riut, fire, bact, slam are kicked from Tyrant.and also nobody from tyrant legends! that makes the whole tournament more balanced and interesting
Awesome to see another 1v1 tournament.
I think it's unfair that dogao can play on two accounts tho
I really love the RoundRobin format, since it is a very good evaluation of skill level due to the fact that you have to play everyone.Nice. GL all.
Why does a tournament like this have to span over 7 weeks?
It's $200 first prize, not $120 000, and still each participant has to play at least 3*6 = 18 games. For the final, at least another 3. So to win, you have to play 21 games. It's way too much and it doesn't add excitement.
16 -> 8 -> 4 -> 2. Boom. Single elimination, BO3. Two rounds first weekend (divide pairs by timezone). That's exciting. You have a bad day? You're out. You did a mistake? You're out. You deleted your TC? Sorry, you're out. You got a bad map? Cry, you're out. You play like a god and beat stronger players? Congratulations, you won.
And the whole thing is done in 3 weeks (ideally 2 weeks, if you can have semis and final same weekend) and no one has to play more than 12 games, most players less.
Nice. GL all.

+1
- All players in the tournament can use each civilization only once throughout the length of the League Stage.
In Other words, in the 18 games every player will play, they must use all 18 civilizations available in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors once each.- All Games shall be played with "HIDDEN CIVLIZATIONS"
...which one is the second dogao's account? If I'm correct there's only individual participants on both groups, no smurfs.Awesome to see another 1v1 tournament.

He refers to TyRanT Legends aka Tyrant A which consist of TheViper, Jordan, DauT, KKab and Nv_.So riut, fire, bact, slam are kicked from Tyrant.and also nobody from tyrant legends! that makes the whole tournament more balanced and interesting

The tourney was made in a round robin format for good application of the civ ruling. imagine 6 rounds of single elimination. pros would use all the weaker civs in early games and at the end you would end up with having aztec mayan hun viking wars
Maybe it's a swedish thing, but I gotta agree with my fellow countrymen. Aoc tourneys are so long that you grow sick and tired of them :P. They finish the top 16 knockout in other ESports over a weekend, and not over months. I know it's during LAN, but that would still be the dream!
I've played 2x 1-day tournaments, Zeroempires' turbo speed tournament and a 1v1 DM GA tourney. Both were very enjoyable!
