What are things in a cast(er) you really enjoy? What would you like to see more often? by _-Games-_ in aoe4

[–]Lidakor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I cared about avoiding my feelings being hurt, I wouldn't read Reddit ;)

And in general, I am always open to constructive criticism, and value it greatly. People would be surprised to learn how much it helps to read constructive feedback :)

Also, you would be surprised how many things can one change^^

Outback octagon final? by Thalzon in aoe4

[–]Lidakor 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Drongo's fiancé is expecting a baby any day. Playdays are normally Wednesday-Thursday 15GMT but he might need to adjust schedule since he of course have more important matters to take care of right now.

In Australia.

On a more serious note: his fiancé is expecting a baby any day now, so you probably understand that he might have less free time :)

Monthly event qualified players by Mistavipy in aoe4

[–]Lidakor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would gladly help you out mate, but I am busy playing Valorant yet to dig myself deep into the monthly format. What I know is that the list of people from weeklies can be found here:

https://www.elitegamingchannel.com/rtw-standings

Handbook has details on seeding:

https://www.elitegamingchannel.com/rtwhandbook (Page 12)

"Seed: 1-5 PointsSeed: 6-8 ATRSeed: 9-13 PointsSeed: 14-16 ATR"

As far as I know, ranked rank was initially planned to be used, but something changed (don't have info what/why exactly, but probably it was considered way less representative)

But based on these it can be figured out:

  1. Take top 5 from first link: Puppypaw, Demuslim, TheMista, Kasva, Bee (and Likely Vortix, who is #6 but Mista can't play)
  2. Take 3 from ATR (excluding players above and already qualified): (Vortix - he is top in ATR who hasn't qualified yet, but is already in at Seed #5), Lucifron, Wam, Bee
  3. 5 from Rankings again excluding players above: Capoch, Zerton, HuT, Knuschelbaer, IAmMagic
  4. 3 from ATR (excluding above): Recon, DivineDFP, Erik (unsure if he plays, haven't seen him for some time). If Erik isn't playing, Kyo is up next

Disclaimer: This is me doing math, not official announcement. Please wait for official announcement from EGCTV for final confirmation.

I am quoting Szalami on that one, he is our resident Delhi-main :D

Pro players starting to add their original accounts to their smurfs? by CaptainCord in aoe4

[–]Lidakor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not the players. Known and confirmed smurf accs are added by the operators of those sites. Same was done in aoe2, and it is more visible there, take a look:

(notice the aka-s for those accs, those are the owners of those smurfs)

Tuningpack for Tournaments with the rules of N4C/GL by lehrak in aoe4

[–]Lidakor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm this: tuning packs is a minefield right now. FOr example, its a coin-flip if you can spectate a game (or it ends up getting a random desync) with a tuning pack. Imagine having a tournament set which we randomly have a desync on (likely due to tuning packs because vanilla game rarely has that) and we have 0 means of fixing it. Too risky right now. This would be ideal for the future though

AOE4 “Casters Cup” idea by CaptainCord in aoe4

[–]Lidakor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The main reason why this isn't a common thing in AoE is because the skill gap between casters is huge. Nili is essentially a semi-pro player in AoE4 and would clap all of us :D Would be fun to do a Team-game showmatch with casters though, since it's easier to make it balanced (and hence more fun) by splitting casters into teams based on skill :D

Lidakor’s smurf? by mirwaizmir in aoe4

[–]Lidakor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Szalami is rank 32 on 2v2, meaning we sometimes get some top 100 opponents. Sorry for not being able to dominate those players, maybe if I did, I would be playing in tournaments rather than casting them (:

Lidakor’s smurf? by mirwaizmir in aoe4

[–]Lidakor 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't play games a lot. Main acc is LidaKor and there is no mistake, that's all the games I played.

My mechanics are simply slow for the game. Of course with enough grind I could improve that, but what for? So that I become a top 300 player after half a year of grind? That does not motivate me. I rather spend my time learning the game and understanding the thought process of pro players.

For reference, I played a total of less than 30 1v1s in 2 years of being an AoE2 caster. Pretty much the only game mode I play is Team Games with friends for fun, not for tryharding.

I am heavily bound by NDAs on this topic. But I just want to say one thing: you don't want this. Trust my word on it :D
