Kings of the Old World
AOE3 1v1 Supremacy Tournament

ESOC, in partnership with the Royal Clan and UEC, is excited to announce the largest and most prestigious event in the history of the website, and the largest prize pool for an AoE3 event since 2008. Kings of the Old World, sponsored by Microsoft, is a 1v1 Supremacy tournament coming in July. The event, focused on showcasing the Knights of the Mediterranean DLC, will feature an open qualification system where eight players will emerge to challenge for the title. More details will be released soon, but in the meantime if anyone is interested in helping support the event with admin or other duties, please send me a message or drop a note here. All donations that ESOC receives during the event will go towards the prize pool, and will show our generous sponsors at Microsoft that the AOE3 community belongs on the big stage and we can continue to support large events.

If we want AoE3 not to be mistreated like in the past or when it comes to not being included in other tournaments, the community should go watch one, starting by supporting the game on the Twitch streaming platform and its greatest exponents (even if you don’t play competitively).

Yes and let us all put our differences aside and act as a united front for this prestigious event. We don’t need anymore drama causing unnecessary division and hurting the reputation of the community – lookin’ at you, Breeze.
