The biggest news for AoE1 mutliplayer this autumn is probably that it will be featured as a part of the Redbull Wololo Legacy event this autumn with a 50 000 $ prize pool. Many details for that event are still waiting to be revealed, but it appears it will be played using the original Age of Empires: Rise of Rome, as that is still the preferred version of the game among the vietnamese pros.

But what if you wanted to see AoE:DE? The DE community isn't quite as big but a lot more geographically diverse. And right now, the biggest event going on is the second iteration of Classic Cup which is hosted by WinstonsWaffles. If you're like me and haven't quite kept up with the changes to the multiplayer meta in the past ten years, this is a good opportunity to get a glimpse of how the best of the best are playing the game.

The quarter- and semifinals have already been played, but I won't spoil them here in case you want to watch them for yourselves. The games are currently being uploaded to Youtube and can already be found on Twitch, where the finals and bronze match will also be streamed live this coming weekend.
