After a month of action, the Battle of Africa 3 tournament is coming to an exciting end! Out of forty teams, only four remain to battle it out for a chance at the crown: Aftermath, GamerLegion, Suomi, and Los Machos.
Recently, Battle of Africa has become one of the biggest team game events in Age of Empires II. Its trademarks include a unique 3v3 format plus a diverse set of maps which often leads to unpredictable, strategy-driven gameplay.
Meet the Semifinalists:
Aftermath (Hera, Liereyy, MbL, Nicov, Hearttt)
The team was formed just before Battle of Africa 1. Consisting of some of the best players in the World, their goal was to challenge the dominance of the “TyRanTs” who had been reigning for the last few years. After a dominant performance in the group stage, the team lost the final to their rivals in Battle of Africa 1 but found their redemption in an grueling 5-4 win in the final of Battle of Africa 2. In the current edition of the tournament, the team looks to be in terrifying shape. Aftermath has not yet lost a single game.
GamerLegion (The Viper, TaToH, DauT, JorDan
The legendary team, formerly known as TyRanT and Team Secret won the first Battle of Africa tournament and lost in the final of the second edition. Now the squad is looking to reclaim their title and prove once more that they're the best team in the world. Similar to their main rivals, the team has been increasing the pace as the tournament progresses and looks to be in top shape.
Suomi (TheMax, Villese, Zuppi, Rubenstock)
When it comes to team games “the Finns” were always known for their great strategies and fantastic coordination. In the last several years the team has constantly found a spot in the top four, and many think it is now the time Suomi claims the biggest team games title.
Los Machos (dogao, miguel,slam)
The two Brazilians, dogao and miguel, are one of the most successful duos in Age of Empires II history. Nations Cup winners with Brazil, they have performed well together in different events over the years. When it comes to Battle of Africa tournaments, they are always looking for their best partner in crime. This year this is GamerLegion`s Slam. With their performance so far “Los Machos” look to have found the right formula.
