In-person 1v1, open to every level

Royal Relics returns on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at Fortress Sydney, in the Chippendale neighborhood. The event runs 1v1 Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition in a Swiss system, with initial seeding of the players. The organizers welcome regulars and newcomers alike, and announce the return of Noszombie, the defending champion.

This is an in-person meetup, not an online-only tournament. For players in the region, the appeal is getting games in and meeting the community in the same place. Check the official ticketing page for entry and spectator conditions.

Watch out for the time difference

The day is scheduled from 11am to 11:15pm Sydney time. That is October 24 from 2am to 2:15pm in Paris. These times cover the whole event; they don’t give the exact time of each round. No stream was confirmed in the sources we checked: from France, better wait for an announcement before planning to watch the matches live.
