JulianK, a top-ranked Age of Empires 3 Definitive Edition player, reviews the epic 2015 Spring Championship FINALS between _H2O and BlackStar_OP!

Nine years later, much has changed. The definitive edition has brought many players back, but unfortunately, _H2O and BlackStar_OP are no longer active. However, this unforgettable series remains a cherished memory. After years of decline in the AoE3 community, a dedicated group decided to host a tournament, created ESO-Community.net, and gathered the best players of the time. _H2O, an American champion who won the World Cyber Games in 2008 vs. Iamgrunt, returned to compete. BlackStar_OP, a promising newcomer from Romania (once coached by Veni_Vidi_Vici_W), also entered the fray. They faced off in a thrilling best-of-9 finals on April 26, 2015. With commentary by Veni_Vidi_Vici_W and Interjection, the Twitch stream hit a peak of 900 viewers on Twitch — a record that still stands in 2024!
