What tournament do you want to see first in DE?

Post by giveuanxiety »

I dunno if esoc wants to share their opinions and see what might be planned first. Also when would you want the tournament to start? 1 week after launch? 2 weeks? 1 month?

i want a "fresh out of the box" tournament, only swedes and inca allowed. Day 1, first hour after release. Make the top players compete without ever having played those civs before, and with no developed meta, and see what they come up with.

I'm all for a tourny, i just hope one civ isn't a tier above the rest on release.

I'm curious about how relevant ESOC will be. I don't mean this as a slight. I mean it in the sense of "how many people/ what type of support might DE attract."

I personally don't know enough about the rest of the RTS world to know if this sort of release will actually
attract much attention.

If any top players are involved in the closed beta they'd have quite the advantage (wait, are these civs in the closed beta?? :hmm: ).

But I agree, I think ESOC should host showmatches day 1 for $50, $100 w/civ rules that necessitate new civs and that'sh what I posted in the staff forums. No reason to wait, and every reason to capitalize on the audience when it peaks (at release).

This is also an especially economically-driven good time to get rid of fascists and racists on the forums if that's your thing but what do I know.

fascists are current something like the antifa movement? right? they are ignorant, they break things, and they make anarchy. the world is no longer the same.

2 weeks or 1 month later. People can get accustomed to the new game a bit and I bet there will be at least one patch release for bugfixes already.

I would wait a bit before making a major tournament, all new civs are hard to understand in aoe3, and even with playtest, all asian civs were broken at launch. Would be bad if the first big aoe3de tourney that brings the viewers happen in the first week and we realise something is broken and is full swede mirrors, or the opposite and we see no new civs.

I think some weekend tournaments would be awesone, but I would wait a least a month before the big major.

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

I think a "weekend showcase" or something along those lines would be cool. It's probably best to hold off on hosting a major tournament with a large prize pool in case one or both of the new civs are broken.

I don't think any particular event, I just think that ESOCTV should host a streaming marathon for the first week to ensure that it remains the top channel for all aoe3 content. Also make sure to insert back the community taunts to confuse all the new people.

It would be nice to keep at least 2-3 days upon launch of DE a nearly constant ESOCTV stream going. This should help showcase this community to the potential new fans the DE will bring, be that showmatches, hosting other top players streams (which will help the top players gain new fans for there own channels) and similar things, maybe even a potential small funded 1 day tourney if any community members are feeling generous to cover prizes (i.e. no more than £50 overall, maybe split £35/£15 for finalists or all or nothing winner takes all)

Its gonna be interesting to see if top aoe2 players start playing some, and if so how long it takes them to catch up with the top aoe3 players

For them to improve and become better than the natural aoe3 players it would require them to leave aoe2 behind and focus on aoe3 only.. which is not gonna happen.

I dont think so, theyre automatically gonna be coming in at probably at least like the pr25 level if not higher. If they put in 15 or so hours a week in a few months they could easily be pr35+. They also play video games more+ are better natural gamers than aoe3 players.
