Day 1 Match 1 Yo v Dogao
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
A high pressure counter against Yo's forward leaves Dogao to cruise to Imperial Age where
his mass of elite eagles squirm between the cracks in Yo's wall and overrun a fragile
economy. Dogao wins game one
2) Ghost Lake
Mayan v Mayan
Stealing a boar by dogao doesn't stop yo from dominating in this snowy game. Some struggle
but mostly domination from yo despite his poor forward castle placement. Yo wins game 2
3) Baltic
Viking v Viking
Early control of the water is gained by dogao but a landing by yo proves to be overwhelming
and archers become dogao's nightmare. Yo wins game 3 and wins match.
Yo wins 2-1

Day 1 Match 2 JorDan_23 v RiuT
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
A defensive game until it reaches Imperial. Jordan goes arbalest and champions against
elite jaguars by riut and it doesn't go well. Riut wins game 1.
2) Islands
Viking v Viking
One of the best pure grush game I have seen. A tower by jordan proves to be the lasting
thorn that eventually bleeds the RiuT beast dry. Jordan wins game 2.
3) Double Arabia
Huns v Huns
RiuT goes scouts in an unexpected mood. It puts him on the defensive in early castle.
Jordan switches to cav archers and RiuT rolls over him with knights. RiuT wins game 3.
RiuT wins 2-1
Interview http://www.twitch.tv/vooblyofficial/v/19368608 @ 4:00:55

warriors and suffocates yo's economy. RiuT wins game 1.
2) Regicide Fortress
Mayan v Mayan
RiuT, with a strong eco, puts pressure on yo in early Imperial. Yo's king makes a guest
appearance on the front lines and lives to tell about it. Yo makes a brilliant come back
after near death. Yo wins game 2.
3) Rooster
Viking v Viking
RiuT wins water early and forces a 5 dock from yo. Yo takes back the water but RiuT stops
yo's gold intake with some archers and forces the gg. RiuT wins game 3.

1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
Day 2 Match 2 Lojza v BacT
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
Lojza resigns early even with the villager lead. Frustrated? BacT wins game 1.
2) Arena
Britons v Aztec
Dynamic game. Lojza anticipates every move BacT makes and overruns him in early Imperial.
Lojza wins game 2.
3) Regicide Fortress
Mayan v Mayan
Heavy economy by Lojza leads to earlier seige ram upgrade and gives an early advantage.
Later, the overflow of food turned out to be a burden for Lojza. BacT wins game 3.
BacT wins 2-1
Day 2 Match 3 TheViper v LoveCheng
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
TheViper steals a boar and grabs early advantage, but then gets trapped in castle age
fighting elite eagle warriors with castle age jaguars. Viper can't do it and eventually is
overrun. LoveCheng wins game 1.
2) Team Islands
Viking v Viking
Powerful viper grush floods over lovecheng. TheViper wins game 2.
3) Nomad
China v China
Better start for viper and good play means he locks up the game. TheViper wins game 3.
TheViper wins 2-1
Interview http://www.twitch.tv/vooblyofficial/v/19522654 @ 0:17:25
Day 2 Match 4 TheViper v BacT
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
Viper pulls off the successful double boar steal. Yeah, seriously. Viper wins game 1 at
minute 28
2) Nomad
Chinese v Chinese
Mill fishing start by BacT. Viper takes water. He then takes the land too. Viper wins
game 2.
TheViper wins 2-0
Interview http://www.twitch.tv/vooblyofficial/v/19522654 @ 0:17:25
Day 2 Match 5 TheViper v RiuT
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
Heavy castle age push from RiuT with mangonels and xbows puts early pressure on viper.
Viper manages to go Imperial first. The elite eagle warrior spam war is impressive. Viper
wins game 1.
2) Rooster
Viking v Viking
RiuT loses vil to boar in dark. Amazing amazing water play and micro. If you want to see
what it takes to be pro on water, watch it. Viper wins game 2.
TheViper wins 2-0

Day 3 Match 1 Lojza v LoveCheng (Elimination match 1)
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
Aggressive play by LoveCheng puts Lojza on the defensive. Lojza loses map control and
loses the game. LoveCheng wins game 1.
2) Rooster
Viking v Viking
It seemed that LoveCheng was quite nervous. The sterotype of the Chinese being unable to
swim continues. Lojza wins game 2.
3) Double Arabia
Huns v Huns
Who can flood knights faster? LoveCheng. LoveCheng wins game 3.
LoveCheng wins 2-1
Interview http://www.twitch.tv/vooblyofficial/v/19687384 @ 1:48:00
Day 3 Match 2 JorDan_23 v Dogao (Elimination match 2)
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec.
Dogao goes forward. Both get to castle at same time. A good mangonelshot kills a big
part of dogao's army. When the flood of elite eagles begins, jordan comes out on top.
JorDan_23 wins game 1.
2) Islands
Viking v Viking
Another tactical grush game. A sea advantage was initially taken by dogao and jordan
decided to land. Problem is that he regained control of the sea just as he landed. He
loses land and then water. dogao wins game 2.
3) Ghost Lake
Aztec v Mayan
"Best game of the tournament" declared by dogao. Good match-up. I am going to name this
game now and forever as "The Sheepening," as a massive exodus of sheep are played with
before being eaten. Amazing finish in which jordan trebs down a tree to flood in elite
eagles and then a massive fight occurs all over the map. A game in which both players
underestimate themselves and overestimate their opponents. Dogao gets overwhelmed while
expecting seige onagers and getting only a flood of elite eagle warriors. JorDan_23 wins
game 3.
JorDan_23 wins 2-1
Interview http://www.twitch.tv/vooblyofficial/v/19687384 @ 3:27:22

"Perfect" play by BacT's account. I guess asians can swim! BacT wins game 2.
BacT wins 2-0

Day 3 Match 4 _Yo v LoveCheng (Elimation match 4)
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
Full wall from LoveCheng with no military units for a long time. Full economic play in
reaction to a boar steal from yo. LoveCheng seemed overwhelmed by the pressure. Yo wins
game 1.
2) Islands
Viking v Viking
Grush war. Long one. Yo pushes to win in late imp. Yo wins game 2.
Yo wins 2-0
No interview
Day 3 Match 4 _Yo v BacT (Elimation match 5)
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
Mutual boar steal. BacT forwards with towers but yo does some lumberjack murdering and
pulls way ahead and holds the lead. Yo wins game 1.
2) Rooster
Viking v Viking
BacT falls behind on water and goes into desperation mode building a secret navy on the
outside edge. Doesn't pay off. Yo goes superboom and steamrolls BacT's base. Yo wins game

3) Team Islands
Viking v Viking
LoveCheng wins game 3
LoveCheng wins 2-1
Day 4 Match 1 RiuT v _Yo
1) Dry Arabia
Yo prepares for a long game by getting a great early economy. Somehow RiuT gains the upper
hand but then the entire map explodes with elite eagles. When the dust settles RiuT has
more eagles on the map. RiuT wins game 1.
2) Ghost Lake
Mayan v Mayan
RiuT steals a boar. Yo goes m@a and goes forward. RiuT counters it very well. Leads to a
good back and forth of eplumes and seige rams. Yo eventually gets the more sustained push.
Yo wins game 2.
3) Rooster
Viking v Viking
RiuT wins water in rather typical fashion. Yo pressures on land. So does RiuT. RiuT is
more effective when he decides to go knights and raiding Yo but things stabalise. All
good things eventually go fo yo tho bro. RiuT wins game 3.
4) Nomad
Chinese v Chinese
Monk and seige push by RiuT after an unfortunate start forces him to play an aggressive
hand. But Yo sees through and pierces the veil. Once Yo gets to his eco, the game is over.
Yo wins game 4.
5) Baltic
Viking v Viking
In order to proceed to the final, Yo needs to overcome the water map stigma surrounding
Asians. A terrible map for RiuT. A great map for Yo. The announcers seem to be saying
a eulogy for RiuT from the beginning, as he seems doomed by sheer bad luck two games in
a row. He begins well, only at a slight disadvantage at start of feudal. The galley dance
begins. RiuT evens things up. Then RiuT pulls ahead in numbers, but Yo clicks up first and
evens things up again. Both players go all out on water, but better economy puts yo ahead
again. Then RiuT picks a losing fight, and it puts him irreconcilably behind. Yo wins game
5.
Yo wins 3-2
Championship match TheViper v Mr_Yo
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
Yo steals a boar and goes forward. Gold is cut off completely from Viper so he opens his
wall and goes forward to get it. He places a tower and defends it with skirms. Great
micro by viper wins an early battle. Viper gets stuck in full castle vs imperial yo. The
flood of eagles hurts viper badly. Unable to recover, viper resigns. Yo wins game 1.
2) Rooster
Viking v Viking
Viper does a big belly flop and drowns early on water. Yo pushes the advantage forcing
viper to go up quickly, but even that doesn't draw him even. Yo wins game 2.
3) Ghost Lake
Mayan v Mayan
Yo goes forward and it fails so he switches to defensive. Viper is first to Imperial
Age. After a few great pushes, viper is the clear winner. TheViper wins game 3.
4) Team Island
Viking v Viking
Great water war, yo goes full feudal and viper goes castle. War galleys kill the stuffing
out of galleys. Viper wins game 4
5) Chaos pit (or cow spit i couldn't tell) (Somehow I think we all knew it would come to this)
Mayan v Mayan
Not a typical kind of map. Chop through the trees to reach the gold and everything outward
goes uphill. GIANT LAMING WAR. Viper steals a lot, kills yo's deer, walls in his stone,
and hits on yo's mom. Yo tries to forward with a tower and try hyperaggression out of
necessity. It doesn't pay off as viper goes to castle first and yo goes into crisis mode
he gets to castle and gets a castle up. Plumes vs eagles in castle. Suddenly its a game
again. Yo's plumes start winning so viper makes a castle as well. Viper hits the imp
button as soon as possible. The push from viper is then unstoppable. Viper wins game 5.
TheViper wins 3-2
TheViper wins the World Series of Video Games after being down 2-0 in the finals.

a eulogy for RiuT from the beginning, as he seems doomed by sheer bad luck two games in
a row. He begins well, only at a slight disadvantage at start of feudal. The galley dance
begins. RiuT evens things up. Then RiuT pulls ahead in numbers, but Yo clicks up first and
evens things up again. Both players go all out on water, but better economy puts yo ahead
again. Then RiuT picks a losing fight, and it puts him irreconcilably behind. Yo wins game
5.
Yo wins 3-2
Championship match TheViper v Mr_Yo
1) Dry Arabia
Aztec v Aztec
Yo steals a boar and goes forward. Gold is cut off completely from Viper so he opens his
wall and goes forward to get it. He places a tower and defends it with skirms. Great
micro by viper wins an early battle. Viper gets stuck in full castle vs imperial yo. The
flood of eagles hurts viper badly. Unable to recover, viper resigns. Yo wins game 1.
2) Rooster
Viking v Viking
Viper does a big belly flop and drowns early on water. Yo pushes the advantage forcing
viper to go up quickly, but even that doesn't draw him even. Yo wins game 2.
3) Ghost Lake
Mayan v Mayan
Yo goes forward and it fails so he switches to defensive. Viper is first to Imperial
Age. After a few great pushes, viper is the clear winner. TheViper wins game 3.
4) Team Island
Viking v Viking
Great water war, yo goes full feudal and viper goes castle. War galleys kill the stuffing
out of galleys. Viper wins game 4
5) Chaos pit (or cow spit i couldn't tell) (Somehow I think we all knew it would come to this)
Mayan v Mayan
Not a typical kind of map. Chop through the trees to reach the gold and everything outward
goes uphill. GIANT LAMING WAR. Viper steals a lot, kills yo's deer, walls in his stone,
and hits on yo's mom. Yo tries to forward with a tower and try hyperaggression out of
necessity. It doesn't pay off as viper goes to castle first and yo goes into crisis mode
he gets to castle and gets a castle up. Plumes vs eagles in castle. Suddenly its a game
again. Yo's plumes start winning so viper makes a castle as well. Viper hits the imp
button as soon as possible. The push from viper is then unstoppable. Viper wins game 5.
TheViper wins 3-2
TheViper wins the World Series of Video Games after being down 2-0 in the finals.

Yo said that he didn't pick nomad because he wanted "to kill
him with skill." Do you agree or disagree that not picking nomad was an honourable decision?
Also, did you think that it was going to be a Yo v Viper final?

So many old faces showing up in AoC, is it possible the golden age of AoC is yet to come? Maybe a DauT, Koven, Chris, renaissance will push the pros to new heights!
Thanks for reading and keep on conquering!
