Elite Gaming Channel presents Genesis: The first AoE IV Tournament

We're incredibly excited to announce the first ever S-Tier major tournament of Age of Empires IV: GENESIS. This will be a completely open event, with a $20,000 prize pool, at the end of which we'll crown the first ever AOE IV champion!

Check out the trailer here:

While we'll be releasing more information in the coming days, and a full handbook within a week or two, you can find some early generalised information here: https://eliteforums.com/index.php?threads/dates-and-structure-for-the-20k-genesis.1/

The event will be open for streaming, both for casters and players, in order to ensure maximum exposure. We'll be detailing full streaming and casting guidelines soon, but for now, you can find indicative rules here: https://eliteforums.com/index.php?threads/casting-and-streaming-guidelines-for-genesis.2/

For now the headline information is that open qualifying will be at 3pm GMT on 6th November, during which we'll whittle down from 512 all the way to a final 8. Those 8 players will play the Main Event on 13th and 14th November.

Hi, is there any timetable to watch the tournament? I can't find any timeframe for quarter, semi-final and final.

Saturday we start at 15 GMT with quarterfinals. Sunday 15 GMT with semi finals and finals.

 

I enjoyed this tournament more than I thought I would, so congrats to the team, casters & players for the entertainment.
