Summer/Autumn maybe.

Also everyone can participate, i hope.

A pitiful competition with few bonuses. If the champion can receive a prize of $5000 or $50000, it will be a greater respect and value for the winner.

6

maybe you can donate then to boost the pool then?

Buddy this is aoe3 where microsoft doesnt even let us get an update if aoe4 wants summer beach event (not hyperbole), every dollar of every event in aoe3 comes from one of our pockets and every caster, pro, and organizer does it for the love. We dont have much sponsorship but we got alot of passion right now in the community so im hyped for this and other events going on. Great games ahead this season.

  • A Done button is always appreciated. It also increases common player involvement

  • I think a tournament specially targeted towards lower but wider ELOs will also be beneficial for the game even with lesser money. Basically a low risk Tounament for masses, to develop interest.
