In late 2025 alongside Rapunzette, we ran our first Age Of Empires tournament. A hybrid/water based tournament for players in the AUS/NZ community.
We arrived with a big splash as the tournament contained 3D replicas of AoE units for our winners: https://www.reddit.com/r/aoe2/comments/1oadno3/
3 divisions, 11 maps, 4 game modes, a bounty program, and 8 weeks of wall to wall content delivered some incredibly diverse gameplay.
To check out the best games from the tournament head to my YouTube channel.
Division 1 was classified as a C-Tier tournament, check out the liquipedia page: https://liquipedia.net/ageofempires/Girt_By_Sea
P.S. The phrase "Our land is girt by sea" is a line from the Australian national Anthem
This channel provides content down two main paths.
Caster/Tournament Host I aim to grow the AoE2 scene in Australia and New Zealand by casting those who play in tournaments, both locally and globally.
Playing AoE has many great maps, and many great features. However too many people don't venture away from Arabia or Arena. As a player I ban both maps, and have a bias towards the hybrid and water maps in the map pool.
As we can always learn from our gameplay, I'll always review my own match before I go onto the next one.
Would love to have you stick around and enjoy my content
