All information is subject to change.

The Garrison is a four-day Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition community event in Hamburg, Germany taking place March 13-26, 2025, consisting of three individual parts. The centerpiece of the event will be our pro tournament. Eight pros of the global scene will face off against each other on stage in a double elimination bracket fighting for a total prize pool of $40,000.

Four of these players will be invited based on performances in previous Age of Empires II esports events while the other four will be determined in an open qualifier taking place in January 2025. All matches of the pro tournament will be played in front of a live audience and broadcasted online for our audience at home.

As with all BEING ESPORTS events, this event will have a strong focus on community. For that reason, the second part our event will include a community LAN for up to 125 players with additional 1v1 and 2v2 brackets for Age of Empires II, Age of Empires IV, and Age of Mythology: Retold! All LAN Tickets will include a PC, only peripherals need to be brought to the venue.

The third and final part of our event will be several community activations surrounding the event. We will have community parties, signing sessions, activities and quizzes in the afternoons and evenings of each event day. Tickets will be available starting October 11.
