It seems to me that you are finding some energy again and are pouring a bit of it into AoE - makes me happy to see. Dont strain youself, Nilster - wed rather have a bit of Nili all the time than a lot of Nili some of the time.
Scissoring is a fitting term for the skirm v skirm battles I've seen on the EW ladder. Both MbL and Larry seems to have transitioned quickly and well back to the EW settings, and I think it will be tough to fight for the spots among these two and Hera.
Great video! Glad to see you back Nili. I don't think anyone would dare to try and cheat, as MBL says. I recall 2 years ago or so, a group of unknown random players in Asia inflated the Team ranked by letting themselves win/lose, they were like +3.8K ELO pretty ridiculous.
@@NiliAoE2 I hope there will be a video showcasing all the maps with common strategies and potential issues. Looks like many maps still have aspects that need to be worked on but deadline is drawing closer.
Imagine if Lierrey and MBL played twenty games right now. Lierrey won the first 10 and got to 2k highest elo, and then MBL won the next ten and got to 2k highest elo. They would be guaranteed to qualify. This ladder idea is dumv
fans still don't have anymore information about watch parties, maps are still a mess and tickets are being teased but no info, less than 3 months to go and people have little to no idea where they should be when the event starts...
You could also strategically trap people in a game. Like if you are ahead by a lot of points and then just play hide and seek for four hours just to waste the "chasers" time
It makes too much sense to camp so that your points don't circulate back, and no one outside of top5-20 is going to be playing that ladder. It will be hard for others to catch up
It doesn't really make sense to camp anyway, unless you got to the top by pure fluke and won 20-0. They all got there with skill so can maintain it with skill. Perhaps it might shuffle a bit on the last day due to bad luck, that should be taken into account closer to the time.
i think lierey is falling into the trap of "it is like this now so it will continue to be like this" i think the activity in the ladder definitely might ramp up in the coming weeks. the issue was that the qualifying period was too long for EW
