Ardy's AOEO Tiny Tournament - $80AUD Prize Pool Flexible Scheduling - Age of Empires Online Project Celeste

I'm proud to announce my first AOEO tournament with a cash prize pool, and the first AOEO Tiny Tournament!

Challonge sign up

AOEO Project Celeste Forum Link

​

The registrations will close and within minutes of closure brackets will be finalized and players will be able to schedule and play their games from the start of the day (00:00 UTC) on 27th of December 2021!

All rounds will be tentatively scheduled in order to ensure flexibility for the players around their personal lives over the holiday period. Please try play out at least one series a week and three a fortnight until completion. Guys it's Tiny, not turtling vs 8 ai with your relatives πŸ“·

Watch live on my twitch channel, with some games possibly being played on other AOEO caster or player streams, and with finals games potentially happening on the Project Celeste twitch channel.

VODS will be uploaded to my channel, and possibly other AOEO Youtube channels such as the Project Celeste channel, or that of other casters and players.

I will be attending the tournament myself (with player point-of-view streaming of all games) and allowing other players and casters to stream to maximise coverage by our little volunteer casting crew. Hence wanting to stipulate I can't lock in the entire hosting and VOD situation now, but I may update this later πŸ“·

Initial Prize Pool, values in Australian Dollars ($AUD), and ingame coin rewards. Both funded by myself (Ardeshir)

1st - $40, 250,000 coin

2nd - $25, 150,000 coin

3rd - $15, 100,000 coin

4th - 75,000 coin

5-8th - 50,000 coin

Players welcome to donate ingame rewards to the prize pool as well! Message me on the PvP Discord to chip in!

Map and Civ Rules

As the title and intro suggest, all games are to be played on Tiny

All rounds are Best of 7, and players can only win once per civilization per series. Players can play civilizations back-to-back if they are the losing player.

Players can only call for a restart within the first 30 seconds of the game and must pause or resign when doing so in order to let the admin be aware of the call. Simply messaging re and playing on can sometimes mean the call is missed. Players may only restart once per game.

Feel free to subscribe on twitch, and donate to show your support.

Ping

Hi all.

I recently picked up arma 3 life but playing on EU servers, Seems the ZA servers are dead

So I am wondering. Will getting a 1000/500 line actually reduce my ping? Or do those apps like wtfast work?

Has anyone tried something like this with another game?

I am currently on 240 - 260 ping and its not that bad. But I am sure I will have lag at somepoint especially when there is action

I will try a demo of wtfast or similar tonight but was wondering if someone else has a similar situation that could give some advice

UPDATE

SO I went with Private internet access VPN and it took my ping from 260 to 181, so it looks like it is worth it

(Wanted) Corsair HS70 pro headset USB dongle

I misplaced my Corsair HS70 headset's USB dongle. Does anyone have a spare from an old headset lying around or perhaps know where I can find a replacement. The headset is kinda useless without it.
