(You can thank me later aoezone)1:05:22 AoE41:08:13 Redbull Wololo 4Hi everybody, my name is Nelson (aka MaSmOrRa) and I've been a part of this community for a very long time.I was co-responsible for the organization of some of the biggest Age of Empires 2 tournaments in the pre-DE era: The Top Experts League series, War is Coming, SY Nations Cup 1 and 2, WSVG Maldives, etc.Due to the birth of my twin boys, I wasn't able to engage with the community as much as I would have liked to in the last couple of years. But as they grow older and become more independent, it looks like I might finally have a bit of time for myself again.Due to my earlier work as a Tournament organizer, I happen to be good friends with some of the most prominent members of this community. This Podcast will therefore be just me talking with friends, reminiscing over old stories and trying to catch up on everything that has happened.The on-screen art was designed by CtrlArtDel
