Agreed! The gl podcast and other content plus the (unfortunately) sporadic Nili content are a really good addition to the normal "casting games" or mechanical analysis you normally see.
@@hartziv4me There is a qualifier after for 2 more spots. Also if it was top 10 qualifying I think the competition would be less interesting top 4 makes the stakes a lot higher
Was sceptical regarding qualification through ladder at first, but this turned out to be great entertainment! I wish more players would stream, but this still feels more and more intense the closer we get to the deadline.
You heard it from me first, that Saracens play could decide who makes it into the tournament. I just hope that the Saracens overperformance in empire wars does not lead to any nerfs outside of empire wars. While Saracens is the true #1 S tier civilization, I feel like we can just ignore that as long as most players don't believe it.
I think it would be crazy to have an rm1v1 ladder qualifier for an Arabia only tournament. Also, with many different max ELO range sub tournaments. Please, Nilli, make it happen
Man, it would be nice if they romoved the "mirror" option in this last few days. Let the mind games play a role in every match they play. I also feel that mirror matches favour the skilled player. Well, that is good in a way... but the chances of upsets or a really thoughtout strategy against a particular civ or player are lower. I don't know... I think removing "mirror" would spicy things up a bit >:D
I hope the next time thry do this its a little more polished. Just forcing random civ or maybe even make it a little bo3 format. People that arent pro have no chance here anyway, so just make it a little more interesting for them and the viewers.
Aoe scene needs a lot more talking heads content around its esports, you and GL are doing the Lord's work! (Pun not intended)

Love those interviews! This is really good content
glad you enjoyed it :o)
Good to finally (for me) put a face to Sebastian
check out "fox aoe" on youtube :-)
handsome and humble guy
I love this ladder grind. I hope it can be incorporated into other events on occasion.
but more spots pls - 4 feels so little

well a little late to change that now.
be aware that more players for the main event would be a massive increase in costs
so great to see here Sebastion and Hera! TY Nili
Wow. Well done bringing in rising superstar Seb

Although your camara being slightly tilted and distracting me, does remind me that I've not fully grown out of my ADHD. 11

that's incredibly tough to implement in the game
The scoring makes no sense or is that just me?
just you
the highest ELO order is activated, not the current ELO. So yeah, kinda messy
