A_E, we love your casting so much that we decided to rent this house for the weekend.
Starting tomorrow morning we will be there until Sunday do watch, discuss, swear, rage, eat, and love COH :-)
Thank you a LOT LOT LOT for casting.
yours,

Gunther you and your dudes deserve a major shout out this year be sure to post a cool group photo!
Alwaya impressed with your commitment to the cause!! |
Fixed
Hmm how about???
I feel like the tournament would be much more exciting for me personally, if allegedly the best player in the world KimboGod didn't play on other people's accounts in small community events in the build up to large cash tournaments forcing the Developer to ban him.
Fixed now fixed!
Nord VPN UP pls buff. |
Can only speak for myself but i talk a lot about the stats or certain play styles with my bro - too much if you ask my wife I guess a lot of players discuss the tourneys with their teammates but not on the forums.
And to be honest it not quite encouraging if in 9 of 10 threads people come a long with the "show your player card" argument. Why should interested low level or mid level players discuss strats if they are treated like ....
I think we as a community should expect more from us if we want to grow with COH3. We may be separated in certain skill levels but should be united in our love for the game.
See you tomorrow in the twitch chat!
THX FOR CASTING!
See you too, and one thing I can say for certain is that the support for the competitive scene as seen in YouTube/Twitch is PHENOMENAL.
Again my complaint here is it has never manifested in any of the forum discussion.
See you tomorrow! |

@AE: Man, i love the tourneys (1vs1 /2vs2 doesnt matter, although i almost exclusively play 2v2)and the casting and i consider GCS2 to be the most exiting touney i've ever seen.
That being said i cant really understand why you are disappointing in the community. The community made so many things possible with donations etc., people coming together to casting and discussing the matches in the chat...
And strictly speaking from a personal standpoint: (This may be off topic)
I think its strange that people who work their ass off for years to make this game better are GETTING NOTHING AT ALL but people who play 20 games or so get 10 000$. Mapmakers / mod team / Casters etc. all play their part in keeping this game alive but they can be happy if people are not insulting them in discussions.
An other thing i want to point out: I dont have problems with good prize money for top players
(i donated for 2vs2 tourneys in the past) but i consider it problematic if prize money is not distributed in a fair way. Isildur / VOnAsten played great and won the UTT tourney and almost got nothing for it, but KIMBO/Stuve got thousands of dollars for winning a 2vs2 tourney 6 months later. Thats ridiculous.
It would be a lot better if Relic would distribute its (more than welcomed) money more equally over tourneys. Its better to have 2 tourneys and the winner gets 5000$ than 1 tourney with 10 000$ for the winner.
I get your counter arguments and understand with regards to the Twitch/YouTube side of things and the huge support we've all put in with funding our own tournaments.
This is a targeted criticism of the forums COH2.ORG and /r/CompanyofHeroes from ESL to WarPaint to GCS2 to World Championship - I've always found that the discussion and interest has just never been there. Perhaps Sander is right then, perhaps people just like the spectacle without actually being interested in the fortunes and strategies of the players themselves? |
Are replay files available anywhere?

I agree with AE. It has been underwhelming in that regard.
I did think about opening a thread about the games and polls on who people will think is gonna win but then I decided against it because I feel like coh2.org is more and more becoming like a steam forum that is only used by rank 1000 4v4 players that want to complain about red units being too OP.
This I feel a lot of the good 1v1/2v2 posts are now on the subreddit and I see less and less decent posts on .org.
A big part of that imo is the awful forum structure/ naming system that only ever the forum originators liked and has therefore been stuck and stagnant for 6 years. |
Twitch and YouTube viewer counts have been great. Balance seems to be in a great state for the most part, we've seen quite a healthy variety in factions and strategies, and we've seen some awesome matches, but there weren't any crazy or broken strategies nor do we have any statistics available yet. I'm very hyped for the tourney and especially for the final weekend, as is the majority of the community I'm sure, but I wouldn't know what's there to discuss right now.
No. I see plenty of balance discussion in the forums, but discussion of the competition, the players, the matches, the strategies, and the matchups to come.... none. Tbh it's been like this for years. |
Great work.
It would be nice if we could see some stat on those games and if there was a post with links to all the games casted...
Off you go then Vipper now's your chance to add to the community in a constructive way! |
(Apologies for the small post to be honest I'm disappointed in our community that there's literally no discussion or posts about one of the biggest tournaments in our history outside of the Twitch/YouTube chat). |
This weekend on Saturday 2pm GMT VonAsten vs. Noggano then Luvnest vs. Jove
On Sunday 3rd place playoff then grand final.
All on Twitch.tv/Relicentertainment casted live from a professional studio.
