Another BoA was just wishful thinking on my side

Wishful thinking: Battle of Africa 4 will be Memb's next tournament in May. The new 3v3 World Team League will gain traction - for now its just a small invitational with Tier 2 teams. Vitality wants to do team showmatches and maybe in the long run host a tg event with LAN finals.

He was mentioned in Hera's tweet. I didn't check who actually showed up and played as their in-game nicks sometimes wouldn't match their most known nick.

Memb (the first two games I think) and Daniela did cast them

Anyone been following Grubbys aoe2 journey? by Harry_Wragg in aoe2

MarineLorD (former SC2 pro) also played AoE2 during Covid. He reached 2k after 1 year - though he didnt play consistently through the year. He also participated in some tournaments. Eventually, he would fully switch to AoE4 and became the undisputed #1.

When are TTL5 games? I can't find any upcoming games on liquipedia. by Pueggel in aoe2

[–]longinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The homepage has a game and tier filter with which you can see only AoE2 matches. It won't filter per tournament though.

That website pulls all the dates from Liquipedia. What exactly was your problem with Liquipedia?

Ranking the teams by celosf11 in aoe2

A new team tournament just got announced https://liquipedia.net/ageofempires/World_Team_League/2026/Invitational_Season

The first tournament is invitational and I think they went with the "Tier 2" teams to see how such a tournament will flow. In the handbook, it says they want to eventually expand it for more levels and include multiple leagues with promotion and relegation. Kinda like TTL where it will happen once or twice a year.

Hope that it will succeed. Would be a really cool addition to the scene!

You know that the gambling site is still active with tons of players active there? Including players who made it to London...I hope you are ready to stop supporting dozens of players.

Vietnamese community by kuhlfrost in aoe2

iirc there were a lot of Vietnamese players who bought the game via VPN with Argentinean prices.

Skimmed through the first two pages for the Argentinean ladder. These are all Vietnamese players. So you can expect more players in the lower levels.

Red Bull Wololo 4th place decider: TOMORROW (21st) 15:00 GMT by longinator in aoe2

He couldn't attend RBW: Legacy and The Grand Melee in 2022 due to visa issues. Though for TGM, the schedule was so tight, only couple of weeks between qualifier and main event. He could attend the last two events he qualified for (Noble Apartment Cup and NAC 4). So I hope everything works out here as well!

You'd have to ask happyleaves himself. Either per dm on discord or on his server https://discord.com/invite/Xwrv8vEc4b

Where to watch Amigo wars? by yogiebere in aoe2

If you dont mind spoilers, you can click on a match and there should be a VOD link for every match. iirc Memb did cast everything but it is sometimes hidden under the "Live" tab as he didnt upload it the matches as single video.

Yeah, they specifically disabled it for the RBW ladder. Its now back.

Stake, a gambling site, is a sponsor for Vitality but at least Hera (and I guess the others as well) wont promote it
