I just watched Hidden Cup 5 which had the best Age of Empires 2 player and was wondering how come this 25 year old RTS is beating other newer games in the competitive scene? It is quite unlike StarCraft which many would consider to be peak e-sports RTS. But yet, if you think about it, there are some similiraties which goes down to the foundation of the game. In this video I talk about this foundational aspect of Age of Empires 2 which makes is so popular not just in the competitive scene but overall.
