We are pleased to announce the launch of our Age of Empires II team, a collaboration between the most well known streamers and players in the community. In partnership with Twitch.tv the team will be contributing a part of their streaming revenue each month to a prize-pot which will be used to host and run Age of Empires II events and tournaments under the Escape Gaming banner. With our Twitch partnership the Escape Gaming stream team will benefit from much better revenue share rates, a source of bonus income which will be used to fund this project.
In no particular order the team consists of-
Troy “Resonance22” Hetzler
Tristan “T90” Berry
Ørjan “TheViper” Larsen
“Memb”
Morten “MbL” Levernes (Subscriber button coming soon!)
Zak “ZeroEmpires” Robinson
Now your subscription to any of these players or streamers means that much more, you’ll be directly contributing to the future of Age of Empires II. We’re hoping to bring the community closer together by bringing the major streamers under one brand which they can represent and feel confidence in.
Once the prize-pot has grown to a good size we will work together to organise, run and promote events hosted under the Escape Gaming brand. These events will have full coverage from members of the team but will have a completely open streaming policy which will allow anyone to start up their Twitch channel and share the games with their communities.
Streaming will continue as usual on each streamers individual channel but you can expect to see more cross-promotion and collaboration in the near future as we roll the project out.
What is Escape Gaming?
Founded in March 2016 by ZeroEmpires Escape Gaming is a multi-gaming organization supporting professional eSports teams in CS:GO, DotA 2 and Hearthstone. The org has seen great success with their DotA 2 team earlier this year after qualifying to The International 6 and playing in front of 20,000 fans inside of the Seattle Key arena, they will also be attending DreamHack winter in November alongside the Hearthstone player Cydonia who just had a top 8 finish at Blizzcon.
