Hamsters vs Clowns
Do not let the playful name fool you, because Hamsters vs Clowns is a straight-up 1v1 brawl rather than the team showdown the title might suggest. Organized by hadiraja12, this online Age of Empires II event throws 32 players into a knockout bracket and lets them sort out the pecking order across nearly a month of play, running from July 13, 2026 through August 8, 2026.
PRIZE POOL
There is a $600 prize pool on the line, split across the top four finishers.
| Place | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1st | $270 |
| 2nd | $150 |
| 3rd–4th | $90 each |

Structure
- 32 players compete in a single-elimination bracket.

Match Length
- Every round is played as a best-of-five.
