The Complete History of TheViper

The full story of TheViper in Age of Empires 2: from an island in the far north of Norway to Heidelberg Castle, where he finally lifted the Red Bull Wololo trophy. September 2021: two months after pulling out of a tournament because of his wrist, he reaches game seven of the final against Liereyy. In the crowd is his father, PkZ, at a LAN for the first time in his life, the man who put this game in front of a boy from Skjervøy. The film covers his whole career: his father's AoEZone, RVK's substitute in 2011 (the one who messaged him was dogao, in TheViper's own words), passing the torch over DauT and JorDan, the WSVG title in the Maldives, eight out of eight Liquipedia S-tier tournaments (2013–2019), Saladin at Hidden Cup 3, the wrist, Red Bull Wololo V, the Hera years and Onimaru in 2026. Disclosure: the creator of NegoDrama AoE is Team Manager of Onimaru Esports, TheViper's current team. Onimaru also organized Brazilian Dynasty, mentioned in the video.
