Announcing Red Bull Wololo 3

Red Bull Wololo III marks the return of the 1v1 Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition competition, pitting players against each other in a custom version of Empire Wars that skips the first stages of a traditional match to begin in the Feudal Age, offering thrilling spectacle and incredible competitive strategy.

Played across two parts, the global tournament’s open qualifiers will be played over two weekends, with the eight qualifier winners invited to the Main Event where they’ll face eight legendary pro players, with AoE legends Mr_Yo, TheViper, Hera, Liereyy, TaToH, TheMax, Nicov and Capoch ready to do battle. The 16-player Main Event will be played over five days, with an incredible prize pool comparable to the previous events in the series.

The action begins when the open qualifiers get underway on 2-3 and 9-10 January, with the Main Event taking place over the weekends of 16-17 and 22-24 January. You can catch every minute of the Red Bull Wololo III Main Event live on the official Red Bull Twitch and YouTube channels, and if you think you have what it takes to compete at Red Bull Wololo III, you can sign up to register for the open qualifiers here. https://redbull.com/int-en/events/red-bull-wololo-iii

Last time i thought ok this gamemode is new. its fine if its unballanced. Now it has been out for many months and no ballancing has happened at all. So honestly I cant take this seriously as a competetive game mode.
I hope that we wont see the time limit again at least. That was just terrible.

Edit: Possibly they didnt have time to adress this game mode because they had to rush the announcement before the DCL probably breaks the game again. The finals are 2 days before the release.

 

Well, time to take out the old microphone and make some calls. I'll likely do some video interviews for this, as I did for RBW2. Hopefully, I'll be able to get more folks in the main event!

Also, can't wait for Capoch to win the whole thing

 

not again Red Bull and Empire Wars, just no

 

The travesty of a tournament where Vikings seemingly disappear from the game? No thanks.

 

I'm really loving this shot of a guy spam clicking the keyboard as if he was playing, when he is clearly just watching a random clip


/s though, I'm still not a fan of this gamemode personally but there's no reason not to think that this is going to be a great event nevertheless, so looking forward to it <3

 

Very cool!

I like it

I really like empire wars. It's different and shake up the meta game. Make certain civs shine (cof cof, Magyars).

Looking forward to it. And also, Looking forward for Argentina, since our 2 biggest players seems to do fairly well in this context

Awesome! Tournaments with outside sponsors are really important to keep AoE2 growing and potentially becoming a real e-sport, and RedBull is the best sponsor we have in that regards AFAIK.
