Games are prerecorded and casted by MembTV. Cocasters like NovaAOE, Lidakor, Ornlu, Dave and T90 have joined for some of the games and it has been extremely fun. MembTV deserves loads of credits for making AoE2 great again!!

I didn't see all the game, but some plays which I saw were very interesting

• Meso civs were a strong pick for this round
• Straydog is insanely aggressive, and won with Goths in high level play against debutant 16 yo Dark
• The rumours of Daut being past it are very untrue. He is still tryharding in tourneys
• Hoang went very aggressive against lyx (another very aggressive player) and had the upper hand mostly WITHOUT Celts. He just ignores his eco and raiding.
• Some maps were very unfair, particularly TheMax in his 2nd game did not have any wood even when zoomed out in 4K. He won and showed clearly why he's a top 5-10 player in the world
• repard with the insane TC drop on Hera almost won the game, but the 2nd TC drop was too greedy and Hera punished it with a wonderful villager trap

What did everyone think of the games?
