The Calm Before The Storm

If you would like to attend the live audiance, please purchase your tickets ASAP! https://escapetv.uk/nwc/
Details for attendees: https://eso-community.net/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=17453

The qualification tournament has come to an end and there’s now just one and a half months to go until the LAN tournament. The top 8 have been determined and their flights have been booked. The New World Championship will resume Thursday July 11th - Sunday July 14th with a LIVE studio audience & on Twitch.

It’s been an intense journey. Initially, we had doubts about double elimination. But it’s proven to be a very exciting AoE3 format. Each qualification series almost felt like a grand final! The excitement was there, the viewers were there and best of all - the player motivation was so high it was through the roof.

This has also been the most civilization diverse tournament we’ve ever seen with 84.76% of all possible matchups being played! Given the competitive setting, that’s something to celebrate and shines a light on the new civilization rules, map pool & current EP balance.

*A big thanks to @BrookG for putting the stats together (more to come soon!)

Prize Pool

The prize pool has been altered slightly to reflect the extra games 5-6th place will play.

  • $1400 - 1st
  • $800 - 2nd
  • $600 - 3rd
  • $400 - 4th
  • $250 - 5-6th
  • $150 - 7-8th

Seeding & Brackets

The top 8 have been seeded by their peers as follows:

  • LordRaphael
  • Kaiserklein
  • Mitoe
  • Snowww
  • Hazza54321
  • Diarouga
  • PrinceofKabul
  • Tabben

On the Thursday and Friday, they will play a group stage to determine who will play off in the weekend's single elimination semis & finals.

Map Pool

Best of Nine:
Each best of nine series will be played on the following maps in the following order. Players will not issue vetos.

  • Summer Kamchatka
  • Baja California
  • Deccan
  • Thar Desert (?)
  • New England
  • High Plains
  • Pampas Sierras
  • Fertile Crescent
  • Florida

Best of Five:
Before each best of five series, a live map draft will occur. Players will pick & veto maps from the list above until 5 remain.

[spoiler=How will this work?]Top seed: Picks 1 of the nine maps, this WILL appear in their Bo5
Lower seed: Picks 1 of the nine maps, this WILL appear in their Bo5

Top seed: VETOs one of the remaining maps
Lower seed: VETOs one of the remaining maps

Top seed: Picks 1 of the nine maps, this WILL appear in their Bo5
Lower seed: Picks 1 of the nine maps, this WILL appear in their Bo5

Top seed: VETOs one of the remaining maps
Lower seed: VETOs one of the remaining maps

This will determine 5 maps to be played (including the remaining unpicked/unvetoed map). Those maps will be played in the same order that they would usually occur in a best of nine.[/spoiler]

Can I attend in person?

Yes, of course! Everyone is welcome to attend. This is a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to finally meet everyone in the AoE3 community. Feel free to come for a day, the weekend or however long you like.

There’s plenty of space for a live audience!

Any chance we could get a video of the stage without a fisheye lens, so we can see how big it is?

Mitoe rated third? Kappa

Well, realistically, rating Mitoe is hard when he daily swings between god mode and "Sigh I suck" mode.

That’s fine, I can understand that Mitoe plays better when it’s his birthday than when it’s his birthday

pretty sure thats because you never play rated, hard to judge when theres no recent reccord on how you perform vs other players. Tho i had you higher on my list, so i am overall a bit surprised by that rating

i dont think thats what players did, at least the top 8 players didnt do that imo. Cause they have a real interest in proper seeding.

Maybe not consciously :hmm:
Or maybe, as illustrated by above post, they just wanted to see rouga's response to his low seed.

well idk, im not the most popular player out there either i guess and im still #1 seed ? How would you explain that. I think its really a mixture of dia not playing much recently + always playing unrated + having a relatively easy qualification bracket. Altho i agree he should have been rated higher, I had him in top 3.

If it's the top 8 who seed players, surely you guys could have skewed the seed for an advantage

not really because you didnt know how others would rate you. So rating other players lower than they deserved could have backfired quite hard if they did the same to you.

I don't know how "popular" you are but you are definitely respected. Rouga is often ridiculed, and people have long been (apparently still are) in denial about his skill.

I don't really care anyway :P

In the end my bracket is not harder thanks to GSL format but it's quite suprising considering my performance in the mono civ cup with a mediocre civ.

I generally rate the people who beat me 3-2 very low because it means they’re only marginally better than corpal
