Age of Empires esports is very much alive, as London Wololo beats AO2 and 4 records
As a League of Legends enthusiast that's writing this article in a Fnatic t-shirt, I'm very much of the mind that esports isn't dead. Oftentimes seen as a fad that came and went in the early 2020s, competitive gaming is certainly its own niche with its own problems, but it's here to stay. When you think of esports, however, you conjure up an image of the fast-paced action of a Counter-Strike Major, or the glitz and glamor of League of Legends Worlds. You don't immediately think of Age of Empires 2, a strategy game that was first released in 1999. But AoE esports is thriving, and Red Bull Wololo: Londinium proves it.
