Congratz to Viper for becoming the first 2k5 on DE. A little flaw that he did it with the best civ in the final game but anyway good jub.
Team game ladder laughs at the first DE 2k5
Man, if you were going to make a smurf to mock your rival's achievement that he got by beating you, you could have come up with a better name than one that's exactly the same but with a random O in the middle of it...
Was kidding, I just thought it was kinda funny the names were so similar! I'm pretty sure Hera wasn't playing at the highest level in 2013.That both names are almost the samen is really an accedent... I made this account already in 2013 and just returned to the game... I still know the name of TheViper from the past. Was Hera already a pro in 2013?

Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition first GRANDMASTER (2k5+) in my book. Hurray to the snek!
It took the pros like 5 years to get to 2k5 on Voobly, whilst only 1 year on DE.Would be cool if there were some kind of titles like that for AoE like chess. 2500 would be like Super GM though for AoE imo. 2700+ may be unlikely to happen again (?).

Did you even play on voobly? Not even close to being true. I believe 2k5 1v1 was reached less than 2 years after the ladders were reset in 2013. Not that it means anything anyways lolIt took the pros like 5 years to get to 2k5 on Voobly, whilst only 1 year on DE.
I was referring to RM - 1v1 (2012~), iirc 2k5 was attained around 2017. What you mentioned should be RM - General (2007-2012) which 1v1 and TGs did not have separate ladders, and it still took them like 4 years.I don’t believe it was that long or was it? I think it was 2012 when 2500 was achieved on ‘voobly’ which happened in late 2010 or early 2011. That might’ve been 2600 too, hard to remember. Forgot when Viper and Jordan both nearly hit 2800 as well.
You have something of a point though. Maybe it is doable these days since there are a lot more players at that level (even a rank below or so) than back then.
i have a screenshot of the ladder dated september 2014, <2 years after the ladder reset where the highest rated player was 2453. The coming months after that screenshot was taken was one of the most competitively active times in voobly's history with WiC taking place, so the ratings would only go higher after that.I was referring to RM - 1v1 (2012~), iirc 2k5 was attained around 2017.

There are less than 100k players on Vooblys 1v1 ladder over 8 years, on the other hand there are 40k (somewhat) ACTIVE 1v1 players on DE. (Inactive players will be removed from the ladder)
So I believe someone will reach 2k7 in a few more months due to the way bigger playerbase.

Nicov being the 6th 2k5 in late 2016Did you even play on voobly? Not even close to being true. I believe 2k5 1v1 was reached less than 2 years after the ladders were reset in 2013. Not that it means anything anyways lol

A little more elaborationTwo more factors on top of the bigger playerbase
-Injection of TG slingshot
-Higher circulation of elo due to forbidden opponent picking
They do exist, but the titles post has been censored/erased by AoEZone moderation. Anyway, I'll just repost them!Would be cool if there were some kind of titles like that for AoE like chess. 2500 would be like Super GM though for AoE imo. 2700+ may be unlikely to happen again (?).
Actually two days ago I wanted to make a poll about guessing the next 2k5, turns out theres one now. 11AoE2.net
