ESOC, in partnership with the Royal Clan and UEC, is excited to announce the largest and most prestigious event in the history of the website, and the largest prize pool for an AoE3 event since 2008. Kings of the Old World, sponsored by Microsoft, is a 1v1 Supremacy tournament coming in July. The event, focused on showcasing the Knights of the Mediterranean DLC, will feature an open qualification system where eight players will emerge to challenge for the title. More details will be released soon, but in the meantime if anyone is interested in helping support the event with admin or other duties, please send me a message or drop a note here. All donations that ESOC receives during the event will go towards the prize pool, and will show our generous sponsors at Microsoft that the AOE3 community belongs on the big stage and we can continue to support large events.
xXDM Clan proudly announces the biggest Deathmatch tournament of the last years (and the biggest in DE) with a total 550$ Prizepool, generously sponsored by its members.

Most sniped factories throughout the tournament (mostly raids)

Game had a great comeback?
Sniped Factories

we try to be as objective as possible and enable as much democracy as possible, but Admin (Thief) decisions will always be final.
