Nah dude you can't say that here, he was bad for the community remember?

[Goodspeed]

It was a good event but they should change the civ rules imo. Felt like players were being excessively penalized for winning and the series were mostly decided by their performance with the non-top civs

I think the civ rules are good: it's easier to just master one civ and become a one trick pony. That would be very boring to watch, so we need a system to punish that.

[Garja]

It is not easy to master a civ and beat everything. It is also not boring to watch. Also you can have rules for multiple civs without removing after win only.

Anyway, wouldn't have expected any less than Viper winning it (even guessed the final score) and the final being of those two players (even tho MarineLord was a candidate imo).

Reminds me of when Valorant came out and Brax was getting clowned on for losing a crucial 1v1 to a fortnite player

[Goodspeed]

Haha to be fair AoEO does look like a mobile game

I agree that it's not easy to master a civ, but mastering many civs is harder. Importantly, it adds another level of strategy to the game: selecting which civs to use on which maps. In my view, a best of 7 between two players who mastered a civ each would be boring: somewhere between 4 and 7 matchups between the same two civs. It would be more like Starcraft 2, which I find more boring to watch. But I understand that others might like that.

I wasn't so sure TheViper would win this. Of course he is a strong contender, but several other players from other games did really well up until the tournament: Lucifron7, MarineLorD, TheMista. TheViper really demonstrated to be one level above: from taking the game on Boulder Bay against Lucifron7 after losing the water, to destroying Recon's deerstones by blocking it with his army and countering his push with the English by making man at arms as the French, to his performance against TheMista. I did not quite predict that he would do so well.

[look]

in 3 years we will see a lot of new pro players..
thats the magic of aoeIV

Imo for this tournament viper was just better at rts. vortix/mista/marinelord builds and openings looked better then viper's but the man just scouts and adapts better then anyone else. Best exemple is last game where mista decided he was playing against a spring all in and he built like 50 stone towers waiting for it, while viper just scouted a stone wall adapted into a boom/imp game.
