True or false? RTS pros respond to nasty stereotypes

Three Age of Empires, Starcraft and Warcraft pros face common prejudices about their favourite games.

As a warm-up for the final of the Digitec Playground Cup Vol. 11 with Age of Empires 2, we’ve collected some hard-hitting opinions on the most popular real-time strategy (RTS) games Age of Empires, Starcraft and Warcraft.

Is RTS really a dead genre? Are Starcraft players stuck in 2010? Is pathfinding in Age of Empires 2 still buggy after 20 years?

Three RTS pros answer these and other questions in the video. For English subtitles, click the gear icon, «Subtitles/CC» and «Auto-translate». daehiise is our Age of Empires 2 pro, Scooter’s flying the flag for Warcraft 3 and Gonzy represents Starcraft 2.

More RTS action at its best

On Friday, the grand finale of our Digitec Playground Cup Vol. 11 with Age of Empires 2 will take place. The duels will be held live on the main stage at Herofest in Bern on 13 October. Can’t drop by? No problem! We’re broadcasting all battles live on Twitch and YouTube. The event will be hosted by the Swiss Age of Empires pros Ellie4k and Dave.

In addition to the Playground finale, Digitec will also be present at Herofest. Visit our booth and game against us, test new hardware or do some tinkering. Check out this article for more information:

My love of video games was unleashed at the tender age of five by the original Gameboy. Over the years, it's grown in leaps and bounds.
