Re: NWC Tournament Disqualifications - Tit and kynesie

I think people arguing that the winner picks first + can't use his civ again doesn't favour the weaker player just don't have aoe3 tourney experience. So much talk about stats and maths, and so little consideration for actual tourney stuff. It's much harder to clean sweep someone, even if he's lowe...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

Man I'm very annoyed this morning, I had a friend earlier this week who works for a company in the steel industry who lost his job as a direct result of tarrifs and just found out another friend who works in a lab for a chemical company got laid off because of tarrifs. Im so annoyed I might actually...

Re: NWC Tournament Disqualifications - Tit and kynesie

u813 it certainly gives a marginal advantage to the player who's performing worse in the series, but should not change the outcome of series' and is not an unfair format, as some others have been arguing. yes? Just wanted to make clear there wasn't a misunderstanding since your wording is a bit str...

Re: NWC Tournament Disqualifications - Tit and kynesie

Having the loser counter pick rewards losing and punishes winning. This is a fact. Contrary to the strawman that u1971 keeps using, counterpicking one game doesn't give as big an advantage in a series as actually winning a game obviously, but it's an advantage nonetheless. The point robo made is ver...

Re: NWC Tournament Disqualifications - Tit and kynesie

At no point does losing a game improve your chances of winning a set. But if you’re convinced of that, I recommend you try it and prove us all wrong! Strategic forfeiture, will we see it at LAN??? It doesn't increase your chances of winning the series, but it does increase your chance of winning th...

Re: NWC Tournament Disqualifications - Tit and kynesie

Alternate pick makes much more sense from a fairness perspective, but winner picking first makes for more even series. It does feel stupid to be rewarding losing though.

Re: Fans Favourite of the top 8 Players

I only could only comment on Hazza, Kaiser and Diarouga really. Don't know the rest. While I think they are all cool as people (except maybe Diarouga XD) my favorites and I'm sure a lot of people's favorites are not even on here.

Re: Faze clan vs tfue

Yes if he loses this you can bet your ass faze is taking every penny that the contract stipulates including all the money he's made since last April. If he he has to stay with faze for the duration of his contract he's going to lose literally millions of dollars. If he wasn't stupid he would have re...

Re: Faze clan vs tfue

Also if you're drunk or high you can get a contract reversed. However tfue was of age and in his right mind when he signed it. That's why he's trying to get public backing to try to shame faze into releasing him,as it's unlikely he has a legal precedent to force faze to release him. However Californ...

Re: Faze clan vs tfue

It is not about what they have taken but what they could take. And I totaly understands why he wants out of it, anyone with reason would. But the thing is that he choose to sign so i'm not convinced he has a case to stand on. Probably the reason why his layer put in the other part about the drinkin...

Re: Faze clan vs tfue

Doesn't matter that contract is unfair, people need to learn how to read before signing. Yea exactly, it doesnt matter if the contract was 100 percent fze 0 percent tfue for everything, ultimately he signed it. Theyre just trying to stir up public opinion to try to get faze to release tfue. The iss...

Let's not exaggerate, this is just tournament fraud, it's not comparable to actual unlawful acts. sc2 life went to prison for matchfixing. and if aoe 3 was as big as sc2 or even bigger this could also apply in the same category.
