Tune in this weekend to the [/span][a style="font-size:12pt'" href="http://twitch.tv/ageofempires"]Official Age of Empires[/a][span style="font-size:12pt'"] stream to catch all the action![/span][/div]

[div style="text-align:center'"][img style="font-size:12pt'max-width:100%'" src="http://i61.tinypic.com/2hg9r9l.png"]

Saturday 14 GMT - 18 GMT

[/div][div style="text-align:center'"]Fighting for 1st place, we have _H2O and BlackStar_OP!

[div style="text-align:left'"]_H2O took the tournament by storm, and has been undefeated up to this point aside from a single loss vs SoldieR. Though he had been inactive for over a year before this tournament, hes proven that hes definitely still got what it takes to win: taking a convincing 5-0 victory against Veni in the semi-finals! With a consistent history of placing highly in both ladder and tournament play, _H2O is considered to be one of the best AoE3 players of all time.

Similarly, BlackStar_OP went undefeated until his semi-final match vs Nagayumi. BlackStar is something of a rising star, and anyone and everyone is finding it hard to take games off him! His play style is both solid and tactical, and with these kinds of skills, BlackStar should prove a worthy opponent for the seasoned veteran, H2O!

[div style="text-align:center'"][span] [/span][img style="font-size:12pt'text-align:center'max-width:100%'" src="http://i62.tinypic.com/w9y88p.png"][/div][div style="text-align:center'"]
Sunday 13 GMT - 17 GMT

Fighting for 3rd place, we have Veni_Vidi_Vici_W and Nagayumi![/div]
Veni_Vidi_Vici_W is known far and wide among the AoE3 community: hes been active for a long time and his streams and casts are well known for being very entertaining and informative. However, Veni is primarily a team game player, and many may have had their doubts about his skill in 1v1??that is, until he proved everyone otherwise by defeating a string of top players very convincingly to grab himself a spot in the top 4.

His opponent, Nagayumi, is also no stranger to the AoE3 community. Widely considered to be one of the best players from Japan, Nagayumi is a force to be reckoned with! Well versed in all civilizations, Nagayumi brings a variety of different play styles to the table, making him a dangerous opponent.

Wouldn't get my hopes up. Ryan has been looking really solid and performs very well under pressure. I don't expect BSOP to take more than 1 game, if that. But who knows ')

_H2O vs Blackstar! This is gonna be nice! Even though I think H2O should win this, I'm sure he will lose 1 or 2 games in this BO9.
And Veni vs Naga! If Veni is focused and won't play mirrors (or Spain), I think he can do great this series!
Looking forward to it

I just hope DE is not going to implement all of the EP changes. Right now it is a big clusterfuck.

Its not. Its his 3rd 1v1 and 5th if u include team. Also his 4th final. But ye 3 of those were small without the best players competing and in the other he didnt get far.

Well, still, I've played in 3 finals for aoeo, vs a community percieved "unbeatable" player, with 1000+ stream viewers and many other non tourney pressure streams, but I can't recall being as nervous as vs h20, especially after winning game 1.

It was about two years since my last high pressure game, but still, my heart was pounding xD
