I'm excited to announce that the first edition of the Rising Stars series will kick off this Wednesday, at 16 GMT! This new event will showcase the greatest talents of Age of Empires II that we rarely hear about. Think of this as the college or semi-professional sports of Age of Empires II - these players have already reached incredible levels of play, and I hope that as a group, we can cheer them on in their grind to reach the god-tier of the professional players we already know and love!
And a huge thank you to my friend and co-sponsor, Gluttony!

PLAYERS:
Hallis - With a peak rating of 1950, Hallis is no stranger to the lofts of the leaderboard. I first saw him lock horns with Hera on his channel, and have seen him give other top 10 players a run for their money in rated games. Many of you may have seen him recently take down the mighty Hoang in a thrilling 3-2 reverse sweep in the Visible Cup. He was eventually beaten by K4sva in the round of 16.
You can regularly catch his calm, lovable UK accent on his stream: https://www.twitch.tv/hallisaoc/
DracKeN - Many know this Czech player from his roots as a top-notch Arena Clown, but those days are long gone. DracKeN is a force to be reckoned with on any map, and has recently taken several rated games from the top 10. An extremely in-form player, he is currently #27 on the leaderboard at a rating of 2065. He plays Nili today in the Visible Cup Round of 16!
Looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday at 16 GMT!
