Thank you ESOC

[iamturk]

I started to play AoE3 at 2015 as Otto lamer as every noob at gameranger, then i started to improve slowly. I was playing RE qs games with so many hackers lamers but i still had fun. Then i found ESOC at 2017 i guess?...
Then i discovered ESOC Patch, there were no hacks, new maps better balance, i loved the game more and i met with all top players. Thats where i started to bash Kaiserklein. I was constantly playing vs Top players and that helped me to improve a lot and to be a top player in really short time. I started to participate in tournaments and people slowly recognized me, i was getting better and better and at some point i managed to be top10 player (i believe?) Anyways, long story short we all put so much efford at AoE3, we all had really good moments, we playing this game for years, we dealt with oosers and drop trickers. All was good memories.

Thank you ESOC for making perfect tournaments and organizations for us, I cant imagine playing on RE for years, ESOC patch, tournaments and stuff was the reason to keep playing that game and have so much fun. I appreciate all of that. We were together for many years and i wanted to post this.

I just played my last tournament game and thats end of my AoE3 story.

Cheers everyone!

Agree totally. Though I'm still playing the franchise with AOE4, I'm gonna miss the people and names that will no longer be in twitch chat. AOE3 was such a great community and a lot of that due to the size of it. We could always find a stream to jump in just to stay up a bit more at night. I'm going to miss these things. I wish everyone a good life that I won't be seeing on a regular basis anymore!

And ESOC keeping all that alive for so long and the great tournaments, making it impossible to ever leave for good. Thank you.

Thank You iamturk ,you really were a great inspiration for me when you played Japan ,your gameplay would motivate me to try that civ ,you play it in a way that's very entertaining.

I recognised you first when you faced h2o ,around the rank of captain /major in EP ,really nice to see your grow all the way to the top ,you had your peaks ,you did get rank 1 on EP leaderboard with year of turk threads going around.Challening kaiserklein claiming you had the best mechanics & beating him as well #iambestmechanics ,being the #1 player from turkey ,2nd being breeze ,you should really be proud ,you were inspiration for many players ,you did do some coaching as well that was very nice of you.

I have been an keen observer seeing many players grow to their heights that include you too, all the ppl i met/saw aoe3 years years ago are now the top players ,unfortunately life comes in the way for everyone and "aoe3" wasn't the one that could put life away but ESOC has definitely kept aoe3 community alive hosting tournaments.

As for you i would really like to see you in aoe4 ,you have great potential as an RTS player starting the journey as an aoe3 pro and unique playstyle ,really good mechanics ,the peak turk would want to bash TheMista in aoe4 ,i hope all the very best in your life ,the exit you have made would never get lost ,you definitely left a thumbprint in aoe3's history which will remain in my memory & heart forever and would never forget you
