WORLD’S EDGE: Would you like to give a shout out to anyone? Besides that, I would like to continue to be able to make a living from this awesome game-through my content creation and the tournaments. I’m hoping Age of Empires 4 becomes an amazing game and a proper e-sport as well, where I would love to have a go at that game as well. THE VIPER: I’ve had my share of good results in tournaments, and I would like to remain competitive and bring home some good results going forward.
AGE OF EMPIRES STEAM COMMUNITY PROFESSIONAL
WORLD’S EDGE: What goals are you aspiring towards right now as a professional player? Any inspirations? I can’t imagine there being a better, more supportive community for any game out there. We have such a great community where everyone helps each other out. We’re in a fortunate position where most of the top players stream and commentate their ladder games or create Youtube content, and have their own discords where they answer questions, etc.-so there’s unlimited learning possibilities out there. This, combined with watching better players’ streams, Youtube videos, tournaments and reviewing your own recorded games to try and understand why things happened. You need hands-on experience to understand. You cannot learn this by reading a book or listening to a person talk. The game has such incredible depth and variety to it: from all the different civilizations and bonuses, to team bonuses and multiplayer with up to 8 players, and then all the random map seeds. Secondly, they main ingredient is to just play a lot. THE VIPER: I think they key component for every player aspiring to become better is that they (first and foremost) need to play the game because they like it. WORLD’S EDGE: Do you have any advice for new players or fans wanting to get better at Age of Empires? I kind of have some favorites for competitive play-such as Mayans and Aztecs-and some favorites for ‘mastapieces’-such as Portuguese, for example. I also appreciate maps like Arena where there is a lot more of a strategic approach: where decision making and the understanding of the civilizations and game have a bigger effect.Ĭivilizations usually differ over time, but I played and loved Khmer before they were cool, and they’re still probably one of my favorites. Regarding favorite maps: I would say I like maps that are fairly open, invite early game action, and dynamic throughout the ages.
AGE OF EMPIRES STEAM COMMUNITY FULL
He played a big part in the community staying together with the website, and obviously he’s had a huge impact on my becoming an AoE2 player: being able to do it full time and all the impact I’ve had on the community and scene trails back to him. I quickly rose in skill level from there and realized there was a competitive scene as well-again, due to my dad, as he was running. I recalled that I used to love it and gave it a go again. The reason I returned again was because I saw my dad playing in his office as I had moved back home with my parents. Naturally, I grew older and other things grabbed my interest in life, so I had a long break from the game until I returned in about late 2009. I played a fair bit when I was 10 years old or so and my nickname became Th3_Kid-as I was obviously a kid, and very rarely did anyone believe my real age when I was able to beat them in the game. Shortly after Age of Empires 2 was released, naturally, my dad followed. I saw him playing Age of Empires 1 when I was a kid and obviously it caught my attention. WORLD’S EDGE: What got you into playing Age of Empires ? Do you have any favorite maps, civilizations, play-styles, etc? And if so, why? It was a lot of fun and the event was a huge success, and I’m naturally really happy I was able to win! THE VIPER: Thank you! The uncertainty of not knowing who you’re facing always adds extra excitement for the players themselves as well as the viewers, so it’s quite challenging in many different ways. WORLD’S EDGE: Congratulations again on winning Hidden Cup3! How was that? I am 28 years old and have been playing Age of Empires II for too many years now! Recently moved to Germany, where I am continuing my journey through life in Leipzig. THE VIPER: Hello there! I am TheViper-also known as Ørjan-and I come from Norway. WORLD’S EDGE: For those of you who may not know you, please give us a small introduction! If you tuned in for the H idden Cup 3 Tournament recently, he participated and won as the hidden role, “Saladin!” He is a well-known community leader, streamer, and represents Team Secret on the competitive scene. Hello everyone and welcome to this special community spotlight with none other than everyone’s favorite “silver boy”: TheViper!
