Hello Everyone! Introducing the The Blender Cup 2021!
The Blender Cup (est. 1998) is the only AoE2 tournament where the grand prize is a vintage, one-of-a-kind Blender from 1975. Open to players under 1400 ELO, the main event will take place from May 2nd to May 9th. The tournament will also feature a mini cup, The Hand Whisk Cup, for players over 1400 ELO as they lock horns to try and take home a beautiful electric hand whisk.
The main aim of this tournament is to provide a fun space for new and experienced players to have a really good time together playing and watching AoE. Think of it as a big carnival, but a carnival where you can actually win the prizes. It will feature top players, bottom players, great games, co-casters and it’s your chance at AoE immortality!
Qualification rounds will take place in April with recordings of those games cast on the stream in the first part of the main event week. The later rounds will be played and streamed live later in the main event week.
If you wanna make some friends, drink some AOE themed cocktails and take part in some really good games, then sign up for The Blender Cup. It will be the most fun you’ve ever had trying to win a blender. At the end of the day, I’m just a man with a dream… to run the biggest blender based AoE tournament in the world!
