King of the Desert returned earlier this year bigger and better than ever—this time featuring a $75,000+ prizepool, courtesy of Microsoft and Pinztec with over 200 participants in the qualification stage! A tournament dedicated to one of the oldest and most popular competitive settings in Age of Empires II, 1v1 Arabia, this series follows a long tradition of Arabia-based events such as Masters of Arabia and the Arabia invitational. While celebrating classic Age of Empires traditions, KOTD has always been dedicated to innovating and moving competition forward.
Each contender has spent thousands of hours in their lifetime playing 1v1 Arabia games, so the level of competition is fierce. After many weeks of intense games and surprising upsets along the way, the tournament is coming to a close. KOTD IV promises to deliver another action-packed final, teaming up with The Very Essence and Mapu as observer to provide the best viewing experience possible.
The last two days of the tournament are rapidly approaching, and only the top four players remain. TheViper, who won the first two editions, and Liereyy, the reigning champion from KOTD III, are both well on their way to another final. Standing in their path are Vinchester and Jordan. Vinchester already eliminated two of the favorites, Hera and Yo, and is now aiming his sights on Liereyy. Jordan on the other hand went through the group stage without a loss and defeated his teammate Tatoh in the quarterfinals only to face yet another teammate, this time TheViper, in the semifinals. Both Jordan and Vinchester appear to be playing at the top of their game, but will it be enough to stop the favorites? Will one of the champions defend their crown or will we see a new King of the Desert?
