[-] adhdsergio@lemmy.world 2 points 3 minutes ago

Cos it's serious, dude 😄

[-] BigDiction@lemmy.world 5 points 40 minutes ago

Competitive RTS looks so stressful. I just want to play Sim City with war, thank you.

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 2 points 20 minutes ago

I remember how my hands would hurt after a competitive StarCraft 2 game.

Posture training, apm. Ruined rts for me

For anyone who doesn't know, the Twitter poster is arguably the best aoe 2 player in the world.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 1 hour ago

For a moment I thought you meant the grandma

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 15 points 1 hour ago

She's unstoppable.

[-] Darkmuch@lemmy.world 3 points 27 minutes ago

That picture is actually the Turkish granddaughter who unfortunately plays rank.

Being the AOE2 world champion is kinda like being the netball world champion. Yes it takes a lot of skill but no one but your grandma gives a shit.

[-] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 3 points 1 hour ago

He's definitely top 10, but did he overthrow viper. Been a while I've followed AoE2 pro scene?

[-] Occultist0178@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Viper hasn't been number 1 in a long time. Liereyy and him are probably the two best players currently, Hera is more consistent, but peak Liereyy is slightly better.

Something like 13 S-tier tourney wins in a row. He’s a beast

[-] Gladaed@feddit.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Difficult argument of you don't ad recently or currently.

AoE 2 has changed greatly over the years. And hera was "bad" for a long time before being number 1 for a while now.

[-] LegitimateEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

How’s the viper doing? I never followed the scene heavily but was involved in it for a little bit and the viper was super chill and the best at the time.

[-] visch@quokk.au 2 points 54 minutes ago

Top 4-6 probably. Often in the semis. Still a nice guy

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

Arguably...? Like if not the elo and tournaments and other pros saying it make him the current champ, what would?

Well they never managed to beat the 110 year old Turkish grandma...

[-] red_tomato@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

AOE2 campaigns with coop mods is peak gaming

Oh good, I guess I'll live a long time

Edit spelling

[-] justdaveisfine@piefed.social 10 points 2 hours ago

That sounds right. The few matches I played in ranked were infuriating.

[-] 2ndDegreeOWO@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago

I just hate always being rushed rushed rushed. Always have to go faster. Click faster, move faster, make decisions faster. Faster faster faster.

I want to play a strategy game, but at competitive levels, it's less about strategic thinking and more about just memorizing what the 'meta' is, and then being able to execute that meta faster than the other guy. And all this rush and hurry all the time is just too much strain. I want to play games to relax, not to add stress. I get plenty of stress from real life.
