Announcing the Exiled Heroes Pre-RBW V Tournament, featuring players from all over the world who could not participate in the LAN even in Heidelberg, Germany! As a community, we recognize how unfortunate it is that some players could not participate through no fault of their own. Therefore, we've decided to host an invitational 8 player tournament featuring the some of the best Empire Wars players not already in the RBW V main event, prioritising those who were not invited or did not sign up for qualifiers due to being unable to travel (of these, unfortunately, TheMax and ACCM were not available to participate in our event) and completing the roster with successful participants from previous editions or players who performed well in the latest qualifiers but were ultimately unable to reach the main event. Bear in mind that this is under no circumstances to be interpreted as an anti-Red Bull event. If anything, it’s a grassroots attempt at trying to broaden the pro scene by helping out those players who are missing out on one of the biggest AoE2 tournaments to date.
Red Bull Wololo I Champion Mr. Yo headlines a roster also comprising F1Re, Kasva, Miguel, PROject_Belgium, Vivi, Valas, and saymyname, who will go head to head in a Red Bull Wololo-style event to showcase their skills and prove that they are the true Exiled Champion! First round games will be played throughout the week, with the resulting recs being casted on Friday, September 10, and the semifinals and finals will be casted live on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Each day will start at 13gmt.
Prize Pool:
The prize pool is made up of donations from community members, and while it will eventually be split among all the participants, we would like to reach a total amount at least comparable with the basic prize for RBWV (currently at $2500 for first-round exits). You can contribute to the prizepool here. If our goal of reaching $2500 is reached, the prize money will be split as follows: 1000/500/250/250/125/125/125/125. If the final prize money is either above or below the $2500 goal, these numbers will be adjusted accordingly.
Settings & Rules:
Please refer to the RBWV rulebook for settings and rules. The only change is that quarterfinals will be played as a BO3, with semis played as a BO5 and finals as a BO7.
Players:
The eight players have been seeded based off a combination of their current EW rank, their current RM rank, and previous RBW performances.
Maps:
The map pool will mirror that of RBWV. Players will face each other on the following:
