[b]Red Bull Wololo[/b] is returning for its THIRD installment on [b]January 2, 2021[/b], and its arrival guarantees another thrilling spectacle as the biggest 1v1 Empire Wars competition in [i]Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition![/i] The best players in the world will face each other in a custom version of [url=https://www.ageofempires.com/games/aoeiide/empire-wars/]Empire Wars[/url]—a unique game mode that skips the buildup of a traditional match. Instead, combatants begin in the Feudal Age: bringing the most exciting action to the forefront as players battle across 13 new and existing maps. [h1]THE STAGE[/h1][hr][/hr]The global tournament will be played in two stages. Red Bull Wololo III’s [b]Open Qualifiers[/b] will be played over two weekends, with the eight finalists earning an invite to participate in the [b]Main Event[/b] with eight of the top [i]Age of Empires[/i] players in the world. [i]...there's a twist, however...![/i] Red Bull Wololo III introduces an overarching story to the entire tournament series, weaving each Wololo event into a larger narrative: [quote]Civilizations in each Red Bull Wololo event are fighting over a castle which has a library containing the knowledge required for world domination. Each Wololo event represents a different civilization trying to gain control of the castle and its library: with Red Bull Wololo I and II representing Western Civilization, and Wololo III now representing Asian Civilization. The tournament series will conclude in a grand final where the winners of each tournament battle it out—an event you won't want to miss.[/quote] [h1]JOIN THE ACTION[/h1][hr][/hr]The action begins when the [b]Open Qualifiers[/b] get underway on the weekends of [b]January 2-3[/b] and [b]9-10[/b], followed by the [b]Main Event[/b] weekends of [b]January 16-17[/b] and [b]22-24[/b].
