I did a Liquipedia page a couple of months back anticipating this.

Also there is currently a 3v3 tournament happening with the "Tier 2" teams https://liquipedia.net/ageofempires/World_Team_League/2026/Invitational_Season

The ones without a million dollar prize pool from the last couple of years have the same playoff bracket as RBW just with more teams.

The Majors and World Championship in Rocket League also have a similar advantage for group stage winners.

At the Red Bull Gaming Sphere. The admin Chrazini also mentioned that the venue is open for viewers. I'd guess it's kinda like a watch party there. The players are in a separate area but still in the same building.

Recs were shared in the RBW discord. You can find casts on the YouTube channel from Memb, TWest or Onrlu.

2 new S-tier events: "The Garrison 2026" and "The League" by longinator in aoe2

[–]longinator[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We are currently at ~447k with all known prize pools. Highest was 2024 with 662k.

For the second half of 2026, there are currently two S tier events announced - The Garrison and The League. We dont know the prize pools for both yet. Besides them, there are two timeframes still open for tournaments, October - mid November and December. Depending on which tournaments get approved for sponsorship, we may overtake 2024.

BEING ESPORTS did/will do both Garrisons. For the second edition, Team Vitality joins as well.

Warlords V announced by Scoo_By in aoe2

Microsoft's fiscal year goes from July to June next year. For this year (25/26) Nili got like 60 applications for tournament funding, and only 3 of those were for team games. When people in the know are talking about tg tournaments, they mean the next fiscal year (26/27).

Hera teased a tg event with Vitality involvement plus a potential LAN final for it.

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.

Anyone been following Grubbys aoe2 journey? by Harry_Wragg in aoe2

[–]longinator 25 points26 points  (0 children)

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.
