After an exciting Round Robin finale, Clash of The Titans is over and our winner proclaimed. It's been a tournament full of surprises, excitement and brilliant games between many of the top players of today. For some, their hopes crushed in the qualifiers and for others a well deserved place in the Round Robin stage where they gave it their all for a piece of the $21,000 prize pool. However, a couple of those are being given a second chance to prove their qualities in the Veterans of the Clash!
1. [TyRanT]TheViper - 6000$
2. [TyRanT]JorDan_23 - 4200$
3. [TyRanT]_DauT_ - 3200$
4. [TyRanT]RiuT - 2400$
5. VNS_thuongthoi - 1850$
6. (czech) [RVK]Lojza_ - 1350$
The Clash of the Titans ended with TheViper taking the number one spot, showing his incredible ability at keeping his composure and playing at a standard that is so far above the rest. But let's not forget
JorDan_23, the only player thus far to have been able to take a win against the Norwegian with a performance that took many by surprise. Perhaps the German has the potential to progress even further in the future with such a strong talent at our beloved game?
DauT and RiuT had to settle for a tie on 11 points, with the Serbian legend coming out just on top due to winning their matchup. Impressive performances by both of these guys, and once again DauT showing that he is in great form, taking three out of five games vs the younger Brazilian. RiuT, the newest face in TyRanT, giving an impressive performance achieving a top 4 spot after blazing through the qualifiers nearly untouched; he's certainly playing in great shape during this great time for Age of Empires II!
We've also seen amazing performances from both (czech) Lojza and Yellow, who took out formidable opponents such as Tim, dogao and Chris during the qualifiers. It's a great achievement for anybody to take out such giants of Age of Empires II before the final stages, but both of them showed us that anything is possible and that anybody has the potential to accomplish such victories if they train hard and give it their all. So far, nobody has been able to stand up to the TyRanT domination, but these two have certainly come close.
With the end of the biggest online 1v1 tournament of AOC to date, we are also proud to announce the Veterans of the Clash, an extension of the Clash of the Titans with 7 hand picked players the sponsor would like to give another chance to prove their capabilities. The chosen players are the following:
- Nicov
- TiMe_4_F1Re
- slam
- VG_Paladin
- (hong kong) poZ_Tammy
- BacT
- [RVK]TheWanderer
They will be competing in a Round Robin with the same format as the Clash of the Titans, playing the same 5 game series and settings that were used in the CoT Round Robin Finals. They will be competing for a prize pool of 3150$.
More details on this event will be coming soon, and we're expecting it to launch at 13th of January.
Update:
[RVK]TheWanderer, who was among the invited, has now also joined the Veterans of the Clash. Unfortunately, his confirmation of participation only came this morning as the invitation seems to have got lost in the mail.
