EPTI also like that the game is more focused and macro, strategy and tactics and less on micro and reaction speed. It also feels like it is easier to comeback from mistakes compared to SC2.

There is a forum although it is more like a mix between bnet and teamliquid: https://forums.ageofempires.com/c/age-of-empires-iv/age-of-empires-iv-discuss/31 But if you want better discussions I think reddit is the best option for now: https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe4/ | ||

Watched ~10h of high level play and apart from early game that is also enjoyable. Rus seems the most fun to watch since they have mechanics that kick in from the start. | ||

https://liquipedia.net/ageofempires/GENESIS the 3 non-aoe players to qualify were marinelord, vortix and lucifron. while vortix and lucifron aren't active in sc2/wc3 anymore, marinelord is in the dreamhack finals this season which is insane. edit: also looks like the tl.net equivalent for aoe is https://www.aoezone.net/forums/ | ||

Recommended games : + Show Spoiler + Viper vs Simtom, French vs Mongols + Show Spoiler + Great opening from Simtom to deny viper's gold and gain a huge lead Kasva vs tatoh game 3 Abbasid vs French + Show Spoiler + 30+ minutes on age 2 as abbasid, back and forth Marinelord vs Probe game 3 English mirror + Show Spoiler + boring citadel map into huge lategame clash for the rest of the game Can't find links though, you'll probably have to browse twitch | ||

I also like that the game is more focused and macro, strategy and tactics and less on micro and reaction speed. It also feels like it is easier to comeback from mistakes compared to SC2. I definitely get the appeal of some of the QoL changes and simplifications. It certainly feels like it caters to a modern gaming audience, both veteran and newbies, for different reasons. At the same time, the production speed and lack of projectile mechanics makes it feel like too great a departure from AoE2 for my liking, much like SC2 felt compared to BW. I think I'm biased because I may be addicted to the RT aspect of RTS more than the S, and AoE4 balanced the two elements in a way that doesn't appeal to me as much as 2 but it's still a solid release and hats off to Microsoft for continuing to support DE in a way that outshines Blizzard and RM. | ||

With Bo5 coming up, the tournament should be even better. I hope to see some other match-ups soon enough. And maybe even some neglected Civs. Watching the tournament I was wondering though: Koreans are (for some people in)famous for dominating the RTS scene. Is there even such a thing as a Korean AoE scene? | ||

Is there even such a thing as a Korean AoE scene? Koreans were very strong in the early AoE2 scene, back when almost no one knew what they were doing, but AFAIK the scene died out rather quickly. Brood War was far more popular, and there were many options for RTS games over there that we didn't really dive into in the West. | ||

Don't think any Koreans have popped up since then that I know of. | ||
