Ayre Age League: Season One

The Ayre Age League: Season One is a 1v1 Random Map tournament series hosted by Jasent_aoc, the owner of Ayre Esports. This tournament will be a multi-stage event with the top seeded 32 players going through a qualifiers system all the way through to the remaining top 4 players going through a double elimination playoff stage across the final weekend. This tournament will run from the 3rd of August 2020 through to the 13th of September 2020. The Ayre Age League will feature a map and civilization draft system that is not used all that often in Age of Empires 2 esports. Players will ban and pick the maps from the map pool until there is one map remaining where that map will be the "decider map". This tournament features a prize pool of a minimum of $500 USD that the players will fight for their share of. This prize pool however is expandable if people in the community wish to donate. If people wish to support this project please contact Jasent_aoc via discord by joining the Ayre Age of Empires discord server and clicking on my name to message. This tournament will be run on the Ayre Age of Empires discord server. This means that players are required to join the discord using the invite link provided. For the streamers who are just looking to cast, streaming is open to everyone but it is reccomended to join the discord regardless to make sure you are as informed as you can be with scheduled matches. There is also a blurb in the handbook for you. It is also recommended anyone that who wishes to document this tournament for anything like Liquipedia to join the discord also for the required information to add to that project.

If people are having issues with downloading the handbook to read it please let me know as soon as possible and I will try to fix.

 

Here is the reuploaded handbook.

 

Also I have been informed that the Chinese community is not able to access discord as it is blocked in China... Because of this, If there are any of the Chinese community interested in joining this tournament, please message me your sign up via the aoezone PM and I we can work around this minor inconvenience. However it is still required of you to read the rules in the handbook. Any sign ups that are not formatted correctly (or close enough to the correct format) will not be accepted as it shows you haven't read the rules.
