ESOC Winter Tournament Hype post!

Post by MCJim »

Image

Now that the RO128 has finished, it’s time for the RO64. In this round, we will finally get to see the top players play. I’ll name some: Garja, Aizamk, Kiljardi, Goongoon, Fard, Boneng, Umeu, Acergame, _H2O and not to forget, our reigning champion Samwise12! The question is, can he defend his title? He’s surely gonna have a hard time, because even more good players signed up than ever before! Samwise himself said in Umeu’s Winterviews he probably won’t be very nervous before starting a tourney game, but in this situation I really doubt if he’s still that sure.

Some random interesting names this tourney in the top 16 are LordRaphael, Dyddyd91 and Kynesie. Many of you probably have already heard about LordRaphael, one of the favorite players to take it all. Unfortunately he couldn’t play in the summer tournament due to technical issues. He has been doing quite well recently, we expect him to do very well.

Dyddyd91 might not be very known, but if I tell you he’s probably one of currents best Japan players, you might think: yeah him! As far as I’ve seen he does very well in Japan mirrors. He has beaten _H2O a couple of times and gave Samwise12 a hard time. Well okay, all fine, but did I tell you he joined ESO only one year ago? He has been improving and playing a lot. Makes me think of Blackstar_OP, who came outta nowhere and won ESOC’s first tournament: the Spring Championships 2015! He has a lot of potential and I’m very curious what we’re gonna see from him!

Last but not least a very unique player, Kynesie, who is very known for his weird water play. He lost in the RO8 in both Spring tourney and Summer tourney. Means he was not very far from the victory. His style is unique in many ways. He seems to like building walls, docks, fishing boats and war ships only which is a bit unusual in AoE3. That’s his power! Many people just don’t know how to deal with that, a strong water player. I’m very curious what we will see this tourney from him. Let’s surprise ourselves!

I am personally really enjoying this tournament and it will get even better. This might just be the most stacked tournament we have had! I wish everyone good luck and don’t forget to have fun. May the best win!

Love the writeup, and the header as well. I generally don't read these but it drew me in, and it looks nice on the front page.

Yeah that's true. Like 95% of his games are with the Japanese civ.

His Japanese mirror is pretty good. You won't beat that easily though.

Yes, as Jim said. We first have to give the players some time to schedule their games before we can have a schedule and predictions to share :D!
