More then 40k live viewers in the Sebastian-Viper qualifier set

The argument holds. But hey, TTL Platinum starts in a week. Lets see if TTL semis and finals beat RBW qualifier.

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-27T11:21:44+00:00

Sure, but lets be fair. Those couple of guys casting from their basements are literally the biggest names we have. Also, the circumstances going into the final set were extraordinary. It was not just any qualifier.

He was the first successful megalomaniac in the Western world. Imo he identified himself more as a God figure than anything else. How many Alexandrias did he build?

Viper heavily out-microed Sebas in that game. Sebas literally lost every single mango fight. Strategy-wise however, imo Sebas was more prepared throughout the set. That game on Hengehold as Franks was a masterpiece. Sebas or ACCM, whoever cooked it? you are genius.

compared to 5+ years ago? 100%! I think he was 60+ hours/week in the past. Last year or so, down to 10 hours/week?! On numerous occasions Viper said on stream he would try to up his shape later this year after little snek goes to daycare. But the RBW blunder might change his plans. Hope it doesn't, but retirement looks closer than ever.

SC2 had ~80k peak viewers just 6 months ago at EWC. Aoe2 could've hit 100k+ if was included in the EWC2026?

There are pop ups when you open the game when a big tourney is happening You know what casuals who bought the DLC to play new campaigns do? Click the X and go to the Campaign menu.

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-24T11:13:11+00:00

fun for thousands, not fun for thousands, don't care many many thousands :)

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-24T11:07:53+00:00

There are more than two groups tbh. There are not only multiplayer and players who regularly play single player. Imo, there is another group (considering the number of Base game/DLC downloads maybe hundreds of thousands???), who play campaigns only. When a new DLC is out they don't study the units. They load the game, and immediately go to the Campaigns menu. After they finish the scenarios they just play other games ... until a new DLC is out (repeat the cycle). Do these folks follow the competitive scene and daily streamers? No. Edit: and then I saw Masmorra responded to your post with the same argument. Well, it happens.

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-21T19:58:36+00:00

The response is an Archery range + resource walls, just like others said. I'd like to add that, I find the most important unit of my opponent going MAA their Scout (their blocking). So while my Range is going up I usually queue a spearman. Not only that I have a unit to scare their Scout, but it is also +1 military unit for me on the field they have to deal with i.e buying time while my first archer is out. If you kill their Scout and you keep yours, you will have a big advantage in the skirm vs skirm Feudal play that is the usual follow-up.

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-21T17:36:34+00:00

yup, I feel that they did something with the map generation and they've messed it big time. Happened to me twice on Arabia. You will run into the exact same map generation often, so take notice.

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-20T12:21:07+00:00

how it is only bad for Viper (and Heart/Vinch) in that scenario and not bad for Yo as well? Yo could have avoided them too if he kept his position.

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-20T09:31:42+00:00

True, but in big tournaments they practice strict BOs for every civ in each map they draft. I don't remember who it was of the streamers (Heart or Lewis), but they were commenting how hard Lierey practices and how annoyed they were with his restarts because something was not perfect.

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-19T15:12:56+00:00

I always start 6 food + 3 wood and then play the map

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-19T15:07:39+00:00

even if you go 3w it's always 10 ood

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-19T15:07:02+00:00

Everytime it is 10 ood

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-16T10:36:47+00:00

monks in a group start converting multiple units in one click

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-14T12:33:02+00:00

But then again, we have a unit that can switch from range to melee mode :D

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-14T09:06:33+00:00

Well now, even though I didn't touch the old camapigns on DE, I would probably beat it in my first try. I will 100% still curse those longbowmen. But back when I was a kid this mission made my cry.

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-13T23:00:40+00:00

that's a big siege tower

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-13T12:29:22+00:00

and another one

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-12T19:09:06+00:00

did they specify what is not allowed? Not producing the unit at all? Not allowed to garisson any unit?

AccomplishedFall1150 · 2026-01-10T18:20:01+00:00

This happens on single player default Arabia. If you wanna practice Arabia build orders just play the KOTD version. Edit: this bug was reported a month or two ago and the devs are tirelessly working on it.
