Voobly, AoCZone and Philippe le Bon present a $101+ 1v1 best of 9 event for the top noobs of Voobly: Squires !

(It was great! Sorry for the unreliable internet/the drinks :lol: )
Format & Settings |
Squires I is set for the Friday 4th of December @16 GMT, with two noob legends to be featured:
The favourite: - Blotch
=> Quite probably the worst player on Voobly currently - although he did sm Philippe le Noob on Nomad recently :twisted: Never hesitates to try a new and innovative tactic, whether it's two barracks for one militia or a Spanish Crossbow rush (oops). However, despite his youth - he's 13! - and relative inexperience in the game, when he finally stops arsing around and learns some simple build orders, he will be a formidable opponent! ... for a blind person, perhaps.
The challenger: - tenerifenorte
=> Don't understimate tenerifenorte, despite his 1160 rating at the very bottom of the 1v1 RM ladder!
As a genuine 49 year-old AoC fan, he plays 1v1s and TGs on Medieval Siege often, and is one of the most known faces of Voobly's underground top noob scene. His colossal AoC 1v1 experience with 1150 games played, outnumbering Blotch's from 25 to 1, could give him the edge. And he's just here to prove it by stomping Blotch and just grabbing the cash! 8-)

General Rules |
This event is restricted to 1550 or less rated players, with a lot of recent activity on RM - 1v1, RM - Team Games or RM - Intermediate ladders. RM - Beginners activity does NOT count at all.
The games will be played with UP 1.4 RC, AOC Balance Patch, standard victory, MQ, 2 player size map, normal reveal map (except Black Forest and Death Match played on explored), normal speed (except Death Match played on fast).
All games will be streamed on the official Voobly Channel.
Squires Bo9 Challenges will run every other month on weekends. Philippe le Bon is the administrator of this event.
- No restarts are allowed, except in the case of a bugged map. (inaccessible main gold, trapped villager, etc.)
- In case of smurfing, Voobly Staff will break into smurfer's house, and beat his computer down.
Don't mess with us noobs, we would like to remain as smurf-free as possible. :!: :!: - Players much respect each other. Bad behavior (determined by staff) will result in a warning and may lead to an immediate disqualification. This tournament values not only great skills, but also sportsmanship and fairness.
Any insult, racism or flaming will not be tolerated.
Laming and mind games in game are allowed and encouraged though. :lol:
Let's make this clear: this is NOT a new player tournament |
- You won't be able to join Squires if you are a newbie, typically playing mostly on the New Player Lobby. This isn't Squires spirit and doesn't interest me one bit. You need to be a greasy, smelly, proud top noob. Precisely:
- If you are well integrated in AoC culture - know pro players of their time, know AoC good streams -;
- If you play on Medieval Siege despite being awful players - typically, you have already been insulted by a teammate because you are too bad, and some game hosts bitterly say they shouldn't let you play after all… sorry host! :lol: -;
- Of course, if you are from those 9xx to 15xx talking **** on spectator chat, calling pros "noobs" despite not being worth anything yourself;
- If you have watched tons of videos, streams, recs and still can't play a proper dark age;
- Last but not least, if you are trolls, if you are from those popular on AoCZone and Voobly;
Then congratulations, you sires are WELCOME in Squires. to provide us the AoC quality show that everybody awaited! 8-)
This is a return to the original Noobs of AoC spirit, noob and troll, only with a wealthier Philippe. and even more great TOP NOOBS out there.
