2v2 World Cup 2020 Announcement

NachoAoE and T90Official are very excited to announce the 2v2 World Cup is returning to Age of Empires II. Since the first 2v2 World Cup in late 2018 the community has skyrocketed and it's time to see what countries can bring to the table in a new time for AoE2! Countries will be competing for a starting prizepool of $30,000 sponsored by Microsoft & T90Official.


The top 32 teams will be placed into 8 groups of 4 teams each. Teams will compete in GSL format to determine the Top 2 teams in each group. The top 16 teams then play in the main bracket for a chance for the title.

But don't worry, those who don't make the main event will have the opportunity to play in the Silver League!


Total Prizepool = $30,000

Main Event = $27,500

1st = $7,200
2nd = $5,100
3rd/4th = $2,600
5-8th = $1,100
9th-16th = $700

Silver League = $2,500

1st = $1,000
2nd = $700
3rd/4th = $400

• Microsoft - $25,000
• T90Official - $5,000

Spoiler: Funding

All of Microsoft's contribution $25,000 will be used towards the prizepool. T90Official will contribute $1 per Twitch Subscriber at conclusion of 2v2 World Cup (minimum of $5,000), split evenly between the Main event & the Silver League. Meaning current and future supporters of the channel contribute towards the event as well as himself.

Looking forward to watching this tourney and seeing if anyone can beat Viper + MbL.
Thank you T90 and Nachoaoe!

 

T90 blessing us again. Loving the silver league too. Gotta have something for the lower elo legends

 

I really like the idea about a world cup, altough I would have love a 3v3 or 4v4 tournament. Anyway, super cool!

 

why it is impossible to make 2x2 without reference to the country?

 

@8th wonder Ir Laiks :D:D

 

Heartt + Liereyy, the Peruvian power!

 

No Daut?

 

No Daut?

There are a couple Serbians in the 13xx range: https://aoe2.club/leaderboard/country/Serbia
If DauT trains them well they can do okay in the Silver League

 

Gonna be interesting to see how the top teams are formed.

Looking forward to see how well Nicov and Capoch are gonna be able to perform.

 

Pumped for this - trying to think who the big teams are?

Norway - Viper/ MbL
Finland - Max/ Ruben/ Villese/ Zuppi
China - Yo/ Lyx/ Vivi/.StrayDog/ Tim/ Jibatong
Canada - Hera/ Slam/ Chris
Vietnam - BacT/ ACCM/ SayMyName/ Badboy
Argentina - Nicov/ Capoch
Spain - Tatoh/ Laaaaan
Brazil - dogao/ Miguel/ F1re/ Riut/ Stark
Germany - Joadn/ Nili
Russia - Vinch/ Dark

DauT plays some months of AoE3 for a reason. He would rather play a AoE3 tournament this year than aoe2 just because of all of them are nothing for him.

Metal+Spring+DannyBoy Pog

 

Will MBL accept to carry some washed up quarterfinalist in a 2v2 tournament?

 

Heartt + Liereyy, the Peruvian power!

honest question. will lierey be able to play with heart or is this just a troll?

 

Canada should be strong. Could field 2 very competitive teams.

 

lierey and daut can play together, representing the great Daut nation

 

lierey and daut can play together

Nikola Jokic + Daut

Seems legit

 

When this kind of money is involved i feel really bad for people like daut, no chance to play just because of his country. feelsbadman

 

so i can only teamup with guys living in the some country as i do? wtf is this? Next time we can only choose teammates with the same haircolour or same religion; will be a very uncompetitive 2v2 event...

Don't worry we're bullying some poor unsuspecting players into it
