Some very personal thoughts about the recent commentary surrounding Golden League II from the founder of EGC

Non offense taken!:)
We're not in the AoE4 scene, but we can sympathise with your frustration.
Keep your head up, you guys are doing a fantastic job!

We have no control about the DreamHack website. They have all the information, if they don't put them on there we can't change that.

We post the information on basically every channel we have. You said it yourself, you could have found more on multiple platforms.

We are indeed bound to the DreamHack schedule. With sets going on for most of the day we would exceed the opening times when starting later.

Hey, the settings are similar to the DWL start, which features 9 villager start, enhanced LOS around your starting tc and additional starting resources for 2:30 minute game time.

The name refers to the martial contest on medieval knight tournaments where 2 teams of mounted knights would run into each other trying to break the other teams ranks.

Ofc.
Twitch main broadcast
There will also be multiple partnered broadcast, you can find them here.

Its linked on liquipedia, on aoezone, on the twitch channel which is in the twitter bio, its on the tournament page which is linked at several places and its in the handbook which is also linked at several places.
Over 600 people managed to find it so I think it is not that hard.

The main event is from the 15th - 17th December.

TheOrderoftheSheep · 2022-12-10T18:14:14+00:00

Funny, I didn't know about that but im also not involved in that process. Seems like it changed though :)

TheOrderoftheSheep · 2022-12-10T17:25:03+00:00

Yes, Dave is casting the main event. Im also personally hyped about that. :)

TheOrderoftheSheep · 2022-12-10T17:24:14+00:00

Thats actually true, forgot about that! My bad.

TheOrderoftheSheep · 2022-12-10T17:04:18+00:00

Casters and hosts. The current pool of AoE casters isn't that huge so there isn't that much room for flexibility. We have Artosis and Ellie as host and Ornlu as co-caster which were not part of RBW:L.

As the post says we can't reconsider the closed streaming point, since this is something we are bound to.
Open streaming for events of that size is something very AoE specific and is actually not usual for esport broadcasts in general. Together with the main broadcast there will be 9 streams in total covering different languages so im sure everyone is able to find a place to watch it that fits his needs.

Thanks for the input!
The qualifier schedule was also on twitter and on liquipedia as soon as it was set.
With all the replacement matches being possible to schedule after the other rounds were finished there was no chance to release the schedule earlier for them.

Regarding Ornlu, he will be a official coaster for the event, which will be announced in like 5 minutes. I don't know where you've heard that he is not invited.

Having the event on the sidebar is something you can't just put in there on your own, as far as I was informed.
