EPTThose damned ottomans, stupidly overpowered.
Oh, and there are some japanese players which were/are AoE3 players, but they aren't known yet in SC2. The most known is probably Nemuke, who participated in the recent ESWC.

StarSky.. Naturephoenix... Zworny... Skipper was especially dominant for a while... GP... Vagabond_Ourk... pG_Fire_de who of course won WCG... the Japanese player Halens.... Shiuatz... the Montreal player Champ... and probably the hands down best mechanics and hardest practiser of the AoE series.... Grunt (surprise surprise he was Korean lol) I also got to PR 32 on AOE3 which isnt as impressive. I didn't stick it too long on that game because i found the home cities aspect ridiculous and the balance even worse . I remember artosis had a bad rep over at rts-sanctuary.com for his BM lol, though I must admit that I find his casting persona to be very likeable these days. | ||

 I was Gx_Iron in Age of Kings and Age of Mythology. I was the US rep for the microsoft world tournament, got 3rd and lost to the Korean player (of course), which was Grunt. That tournament, TEN YEARS AGO, was for FIFTY grand. Crazy right? I was given 8 thousand for my troubles I only played the first 4 or so months of Age of Mythology, but only lost a few times. Capoch was actually the first to beat me using the Ra rain into 3rd age cav archer thing. I still remember staying up in Age of Kings until 5am so that I could play vs the Koreans. Those guys were so nice, Koven, RD_Champ, Grunt, Kaoen (from Tiawan), etc. Loved the Devilz guys and a bunch of others. I was fairly heavily involved in Planet Age and Heaven, writting articles and things like that. After a USA vs Korea match on Korean TV new years eve 2003 I hung it up. (You can actually find the game cast on youtube, its so funny to hear myself talking about a game with korean subtitles running). Anyway, I am mid-upper masters Terran at this time. I "retired" from rts gaming in 2004 and never played age3, war3, or anything else. When SC2 was released, and I saw that trailer with the guy saying "HELL ITS ABOUT TIME", I just said "FUCK YES IT SURE IS!", and bought the game. I love it. I'll never be anything special as a player, but I will always be involved in the community and follow closely. I do hope to get GM at some point but tournament wise, my best days are behind me A big hello to anyone out there that I used to play with | ||

Not Arch Koven or Grunt level, but I played a lot with Chris and Capoch, and I won a tournament, planet age of empires path of the conqueror tournament (which in 2001 had a $500 prize pool). Capoch is the only good AOE2 player I know of that plays SC2, and he was at blizzcon last year representing LA. I have plenty of thoughts on how AOE2 compares to SC2, but I will save them unless there is any interest in them. I am 6 months away from a PhD in Chemistry and I have a 5 month old child, so I am not able to play very much, but I think its the most aoe2-esque game that I've played since that game died. Howdy Haws. Long time no play. I think the competitve era of age of empires was so many years ago that most old players are extremely rusty now | ||

There was a competitive scene from around 2000-2003, but people didnt make vods back then, only replays. Most tournaments were online affairs with only $100-£500 prizes. There was the occasioanly big offline tournament, like the wcg and also Arbalet (of the legion clan) was a very wealthy man who put a lot of his own money into tournament prizepools. | ||

My last hurrah I guess.Anyway, if you are looking for Age players to make it in SC2 it will be hard. Remember that even Boxer, the SC1 legend says that its hard to do the things he used to, and he was a SC player. Its not just the keyboard mechanics, its life. I run a construction company and just play when I can. Many of us have kids. Others have wives that dont let us game seriously (fortunately my wife supports my gaming). You know what they say... life happens. Its funny when I saw Capoch, I was wondering if that was they same guy I played in AOM. Good to know that it was. One of you guys needs to get up there in skill so I can cheer for you | ||

I've seen some other names here as well every now and than. The biggest site nowadays is AoCzone.net. For me as player, I started playing on the zone as newbie in BF explored 3vs3 and than moved on to rated. Eventually ended as 1850ish random map player but above that level everything was 1vs1 Arabia so I kinda quit rated as noone would play me.. Than focused on playing in teamgames and got some pretty decent results with Snow clan in RTS-league. I noticed nowadays that AoK:TC would be much better suited for my style as there is much more map variation in tournaments. I've tried to get Voobly to work but it seems so far I had no luck  Edit: If someone ever thinks about hosting IP games you can PM me for a 3vs3 Continental or Baltic | ||
