Are you ready for instant action?
Do you want to see the biggest battles in Age of Empires?
Does a 100 plus player Death Match tournament excite you?
Then the Death Match World Cup 3 is for you, and it’s happening RIGHT NOW!
The Death Match World Cup has triumphantly returned for the third exhilarating installment, boasting a prize pool five times the size of Death Match World Cup 2: $10,000! The tournament is sponsored, in part, by Microsoft, and through the generous donations of the community—who continue to show their support and share their love of this event. Hosted by Robo, Nili_AoE and True, it is one of the first major deathmatch tournaments for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition. If you thought the Red Bull Wololo felt fast in the Empire Wars game mode, buckle up!
The tournament is a great chance to drive the popularity of Death Match game play, and many well recognized Random Map players have signed up for the battle. Last year, TheViper was crowned champion and there are a dozen dedicated players waiting to take a shot at the title.

As of last week, the initial 128 player bracket has been whittled down to the top 16 Death Match players in the world! You may recognize some of the names of these popular participants:
