Hello!
I thought I would share a tournament @Kiwimulletboy and myself are organizing on T90's discord - please note that while the tournament is organized on T90's discord it's not organized nor sponsored by T90 himself. The tournament is open to all players, of all skill levels, and aims at offering a fun tournament experience to everyone.
The tournament will start on Monday, March 23rd, meaning you have two more weeks to sign up.
Rules and settings
Please read the rules and settings here.
In short, it is a 3v3 tournament organized on Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition. We will try to accomodate as many teams as possible (a total number of sign-ups multiple of 8 would be perfect). The idea of the tournament is to have a direct elimination bracket, where, when you lose, you are dropped to a lower bracket where you continue playing against other losing teams. Repeat until the entire field has been sorted from 1 to N (N being the number of participants).
Every match will be a "play all 3 games" set, with the option, if the score is 2-0 after the second game and both teams agree, not to play the third game. Here again our goal is to offer a good tournament experience and let teams play multiple games with their friends.
The games will use the "team positions" built-in Definitive Edition where teams can decide who is pocket and who is flank. See the rules and settings document for specific rules on civilizations and maps.
How to sign up
- Sign-up with a minimum of 4 players and up to 5 players
- Your team captain and at least one other member must be in T90's discord where all the communication will take place
Some teams currently signed-up
If you are hesitant to sign-up because of level, I'd like to insist again on the fact that we'll try to cater to all levels. If the level disparity between the highest and lowest teams is too high we'll make two brackets. On the other hand, if you are playing at a high level and don't want to waste your time playing against lower rated teams, the current highest sign-ups are about 2k Voobly.
Some current sign-ups include:
- Two teams from Australia/New Zealand including 2k1 player Socksyy, 2k players Christ, Shed, Zain_Naik, AllCapsYeah
- Three teams from France including a team with 2k3 player Sitaux and 2k1 player Cl3m3nT
- CDL, an international team with 2k player Obadiah
- A Spanish team with the legendary Poxo
- Multiple 1k6 to 1k8 (Voobly) teams
- Multiple lower level teams
If you have any question please don't hesitate to reach out here or on Discord.
