For anyone who doesn't know, the Twitter poster is arguably the best aoe 2 player in the world.
For a moment I thought you meant the grandma
She's unstoppable.
All-star match: who would win?
[Edit: for anyone unaware, the woman in this photo made headlines recently for winning a tekken tournament]
That picture is actually the Turkish granddaughter who unfortunately plays rank.
i reject my reality and substitute yours, it sounds more fun
Being the AOE2 world champion is kinda like being the netball world champion. Yes it takes a lot of skill but no one but your grandma gives a shit.
Lord DauT > all those other dweebs
He's definitely top 10, but did he overthrow viper. Been a while I've followed AoE2 pro scene?
Viper hasn't been number 1 in a long time. Liereyy and him are probably the two best players currently, Hera is more consistent, but peak Liereyy is slightly better.
Something like 13 S-tier tourney wins in a row. He’s a beast
How’s the viper doing? I never followed the scene heavily but was involved in it for a little bit and the viper was super chill and the best at the time.
Top 4-6 probably. Often in the semis. Still a nice guy
He made it to the SD finals this past weekend. Lost 4-2 to Seb. His semifinal match against running was awesome to watch though.
Noting that Hera, Lierry and Hearrt didn’t play.
Difficult argument of you don't ad recently or currently.
AoE 2 has changed greatly over the years. And hera was "bad" for a long time before being number 1 for a while now.
Arguably...? Like if not the elo and tournaments and other pros saying it make him the current champ, what would?
Well they never managed to beat the 110 year old Turkish grandma...
