Red Bull Wololo Previous Winner
The 2024 edition of Red Bull Wololo: Age of Empires II saw Hamzah ‘Hera’ El-Baher dominate the entire event, snatching the title away from Ørjan ‘TheViper’ Larsen with a 5-1 scoreline.
Hera is having a tremendous year so far, as he won four Tier 1 events in 2025, including Warlords IV and The Garrison.
It will be interesting to see if he can carry over his momentum into the latest edition and claim two back-to-back titles.
