Lack of promotion for tournaments
Ive the feeling that most of the tournaments in the aoe4 scene have a noticeably lack of promotion which leads to a lower viewerbase than they could have.
First of all there is no notification or something like this in the actually game that the people that are obviously interested in the game KNOW that there are some pro tournaments on Twitch etc. Im pretty sure there is a huge amount of activ players that are potentially interested in stuff like this that dont even know bout it.
Secondly lately ive recognized that there are not many reddit posts abot the tournaments before they start, that counts for the last tournament of beasty and whamen and also the newest egc one. I mean if you write something with lets say 50 upvotes in this reddit youll get like 10-15k views on it which is a way bigger audience than posting it on discord... The only one who uses reddit regularly is KP whos doing very well with his KPMM lately in terms of constancy.
And the last point i wanna talk about is raiding and the support of tournaments by streamers in their own streams. The last point seems like a small one and is maybe a little bit invasive but in my opinion its an easy way to promote a tournament and help the organizers to make it bigger. Here you can add something like talking about the tournament in your streams some days before, uploads some videos etc. In this way the aoe2 tournaments grew really organic. Only content creator that really do this in aoe4 is beasty imo.
Edit: Wasnt my intention to call out demu in a negative way i really like the bald man and his support for the scene (i know hes raiding most times). It was just the first thing that came to my mind when i thought about the connection between streamers and tournaments and the (from my perpective) lack of support towards the organizers because it happened yesterday. Couldve named any other streamer and removed it from the post.
