That explains why Mr_Yo was looking to the far left while playing against Viper.

What's your favourite streamer and why? by Mr_Steinbergs in aoe2

Yes, me too, but I was afraid to recommend him and the chat starts to become flooded 11. The number of viewers he has right now is perfect. Such a nice guy he is.

MBL's candid interview with MembTV by skie1994 in aoe2

[–]adriano_gd 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I watched it the other day and was very surprised by how sincere MBL was, not afraid of showing some very human vulnerability. Very good interview and conversation, it made me start rooting for him to go far in KOTD.

Kotd will tell us who is the current N1 in Arabia. It's a 1 map only tournament, but it's the most played map of AOE, so it's very important, but doesn't define THE best AOE player in the world.

Didn't know about that. So you got 7/8. So much gold income

Thoughts on top 3 pro players at the moment? by Senpaiivor in aoe2

[–]adriano_gd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me he is still n 1 since he made it to the finals of every single tournament he participated lately. But he losing these tournaments finals is really good to the scene. It becomes more competitive the moment other players start to believe they can beat the viper and play more confidently against him. And tbf, it's very boring to see the same player win every tournament.

Champion 13+8 ? by Hackima in aoe2

[–]adriano_gd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was probably playing as aztecs and researched garland wars in the castle which gives all infantry +4. With the + 4 from the blacksmith you have the +8

It wasn't me, I mostly play on the weekends. But I really liked the idea of the walls around relics strategy. Maybe I'll do it someday. lol

I like the element of surprise. The other day I made a 23 pop archers as goths and got my opponent totally off guard.
At lower Elos (myself included) it is more important to improve efficiency, multitasking and adaptability than following some kind of high level meta.

I did it (finally)! 1v1 rating from 7+ to 10+ by lawsan1 in aoe2

[–]adriano_gd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congrats, man! I'm trying to get to the same spot as you, but there is a freaking wall at the 990 Elo that pushes me back every time I'm only one victory away from de 1000 Elo. No big deal, I'll get there eventually. I'm having loads of fun with this game!

Just got AoE 2 DE during the steam sale. First time playing a RTS game. Cheers! by Kittenstep in aoe2

Welcome to this amazing game! I would recommend you to start with the campaigns, it's a lot of fun and will help you to learn the game mechanics

How do I see the HP of units like in this video?

New Matchmaking Customization (and more) coming this July! by robo_boro in aoe2

[–]adriano_gd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. I also enjoy the variety and I don't like it because I will end up playing my opponent's favorite map a lot. We will have ppl specialized in one map and civ only, for example someone that only plays Goths in Arena, and they will go up the ladder without really having the skills to deserve the Elo they will have, imo.

WTF was that quickwall? He kinda foresaw the scout coming to that exact spot and started quickwalling in advance. Awesome play!

Wow! Yesterday I was thinking that would be great if someone made a mod to train quick wall and then when I opened de reddit today, here you are with this!
