    For anyone who doesn’t know, the Twitter poster is arguably the best aoe 2 player in the world.

      Being the AOE2 world champion is kinda like being the netball world champion. Yes it takes a lot of skill but no one but your grandma gives a shit.

      How’s the viper doing? I never followed the scene heavily but was involved in it for a little bit and the viper was super chill and the best at the time.

          He made it to the SD finals this past weekend. Lost 4-2 to Seb. His semifinal match against running was awesome to watch though.

        It’s funny, I was playing that game for hours on end when I was 12. I play the remastered version with my kids now. I had no idea thay there was an aoe2 pro scene…

          It all became popular in recent years tbh, during the age of twitch. T90Official did a good job popularising the already happening ranked matches. With custom tournaments and all.

        Viper hasn’t been number 1 in a long time. Liereyy and him are probably the two best players currently, Hera is more consistent, but peak Liereyy is slightly better.

      Difficult argument of you don’t ad recently or currently.

      AoE 2 has changed greatly over the years. And hera was “bad” for a long time before being number 1 for a while now.

      Arguably…? Like if not the elo and tournaments and other pros saying it make him the current champ, what would?
