Announcing "Strong World"
[div align="center"]
Hello ESOC![/div]
[hr]
Im quite happy to announce that I will be running a new event named "Strong World". This event is many things, but first and foremost it is a league for AoE3 clans!
The goal of this league is to provide players of all skill levels an event in which they can participate in, as well as spectate. There is an emphasis on clan play, rather than individual strength. You are playing for a clan rather than for yourself. Other goals are to give everyone another excuse to play AoE3, provide the community with replays, stream some of the more interesting matches and figure who the top clans really are. In this league, elimination is impossible and winning is downright difficult.
Detailed rules will be posted later, however I will briefly go over the format here. Clans are divided into 4 tiers and matches are played to acquire rank within those tiers. Upon reaching a set amount of points, clans are promoted into the next tier. Demotion is also possible, so be careful. Clans will challenge each other themselves. This is to cater towards the need of having an event which is easy to participate in and schedule for, but it is also a way to make picking matches with other clans a strategic decision. Note that being active will probably be key to winning this event.
Elimination is not possible in this league. A clan which has had a rough start will still be able to catch up quickly, as current form is more important in this league than past results. In fact, having strong results in the past does not quite consolidate a clan into a strong position, it merely makes that clan very profitable to beat. If you go over the rules, youll find Strong World is almost a race to the top.
Match rules are designed to reward game, map match-up knowledge over rote mechanics. Both team and 1v1 games are to be played in this league, the goal being to find the overall strongest clan there is out there. Furthermore, yes, this league will be played on the ESOC patch.
Its time to get together with clan mates! Recruit fresh blood, get together, figure things out. This is a team event, after all. Sign ups will be open shortly.

What''s the format? Like a BO5 with teamgames and 1v1''s (like the davis cup) or just a 3v3 (or BO3 of 3v3''s)?

Each match will be a best of three. It can be either 3v3, 2v2 or 1v1. As to how thats decided, its in the rules. ^^

How will the challenging go? Am I able to challenge a random conscript for free points? We have a few good people in our clan but the majority sucks, so how will this work?incog wrote:Each match will be a best of three. It can be either 3v3, 2v2 or 1v1.

Answered in Skype but might as well answer here so everyone can see. ^^
Basically clans will choose themselves who to send out. Our clan has accepted a 2v2 match, so who in our clan is up to accept that challenge? It will be up to clans to figure out who they send out. Clans are the entities which are challenged, not the players within the clan.

To keep things simple, each match will be of the same match type.
That way players dont schedule to show up for one game only.

sounds really great, but guys, please, DONT do too much.
We have a new patch, a new tournament AND a new league with all kinds of games - it can easily become too much and then people lose their interest cause they get the feeling that all the new stuff is overwhelming them. Please dont screw it up

lol..... I don''t think too much stuff is an issue for most people...

trust me, it is. It is a psychological thing. When there are 5 different things that cou CAN do, most people feel very sad when it turns out they dont have the time to do everything - this leads to them not doing anything in the end and losing their interest. This happened 1000 times in other games as well, its nothing new.
PS: I still think that this is great news! A clan league is really nice, maybe even as cool as RTSL was!
