| Description: |
| Welcome to the first-ever Empire Cup! This new addition to the AWBW Legends tournament series is a special invitational where AWBW staff and creators duke it out for your entertainment on brand-new maps! The theme of this specific Empire Cup is Standard, and largely Mixed Base.For users who are unfamiliar with the names involved in this tournament, we've included a special list of player bios directly below. Root for your favorite players, and may the best commander win!StarFlash250 (Map Committee)Surely this time I won't lose round 1, or to HQ cap.Advance-Warrior (Youtuber)How's it going, Guys & Gals! My name is Advance Warrior, simply referred to as Advance! Obviously, I have no creativity when it comes to names. I have started playing Advance Wars since 2007 when I was seven and was immediately hooked! It has shaped my interest in turn-based strategy games, evolving into a Fire Emblem interest. Those two games helped me come up with my name. After playing by myself for so long, Advance Wars online felt like a fever dream until I discovered Advance Wars By Web in 2021. That day I learned that I have A LOT to understand!Even then, I found a wonderful community I'm proud to be a part of and I've met so many people who also play a game that I thought no one else ever heard of in my childhood. I enjoy commentating games and reviewing games that show off wild and crazy moments. It's what I feel I do better in than what my skills showcase but I hope to bounce back towards a level I'm happy with! Regardless, I will always love this game that shaped who I am. Good luck! Let's have some fun and create some insane gameplay!Soul4Rent (Youtuber / Map Committee / Developer / 9 other roles)Soul4rent is known for clicking the Eagle Super CO power at the start of his turn.TheFineMelody (Tournament Assistant / Head of Event Committee)The head of the Event Committee in the Discord server and a Tournament Assistant. Loves to say 'Dang' a lot. While she may look like the weakest of the team (rightfully so, considering who else is participating), when she doesn't resign early (of which she regrettably has a history of), she can do quite some work, so don't count her out just yet. Follow her game(s) if you wish to see some hillarious misplays though, that much is guranteed when you watch her play, but she may leave you with a few surprises... for the better or for worse.Crawfy (Youtuber)I am a Javier main who joined in 2021 to play fog and std, I like when my units survive, I dislike when they are hit by a surprise indirect. I made a few YouTube videos, the best was about rockets viability. I'm from Poland, my fav army is Grey Sky!Chloebox (Youtuber)I play live games on intuition and pure aggression. In live I use up all of my time, so I do that in async too. Open to bribes. [Editor's Note by JJ: She is not, in fact, open to bribes.]Profeta7 (Youtuber)I'm Profeta, an awbw player from Chile. I like discussing strategies and tactics from the game, and also help newer players if possible. Si hablas español, mi canal de Youtube tiene contenido de awbw para ti.MansaMusa (Youtuber)Hello everyone! My name is MansaMusa and I am a AWBW content creator. I make replay analysis videos including full game reviews and reviews of specific power turns in my “One Turn” series. In addition, I have recently started an AWBW podcast with my good friend Humita called “The Comm Tower”. In this podcast we talk to some of the most well known members of the community, from players to mappers to creators, to learn more about how they got into Advanced Wars and their journey throughout their time in the community. If that sounded interesting to you, check out the playlists tab on my channel on YouTube! As a player, I am ~1300 ELO (just hit 100 total games played woooo!!) and I mainly focus on asynch standard matches where I am known for my love of BCOPs. I am super excited about the tournament and I hope I have the chance to face and beat my co-host Humita!M1ndCommander (Tournament Assistant)M1ndC0mm4nd3rr is a Self proclaimed funniest creature in Finland, Professional Memer, procrastinator and CrossCode enjoyer. Formerly I terrorized gamers in Battle Royale games, hitting top 0.01% In 4 titles in a time before it mattered at all. My greatest showings in AWBW so far are beating Hamplmann by stealing an opening from Elagatua, not throwing for 7 games in div 4 in a row, and reaching finals of div 2 bracket twice. My average game length is 16D in game and 28D IRL, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm not going to change anything. I claims there are no good maps or game modes and the only good tier was std Tier-Kindle. I can't handle more than 6 games simultaneously, but I keep finding myself at 10+ concurrent games, most of which are usually on my turn. Bobters are the 2nd best unit in the game and artilleries are addicting to use. JJ Allotted 45 more words for me to use and just as I intend to use all the timer I am allotted, I intend to use every word I'm allotted. So uh, Thanks for reading. Good luck Have Fun to our game, may the better player win!DaysofPlague (Map Commitee)Rogue Map Committee member and general plague on the community.

Loves Day 3 recon (even when it's on a bad map) and seeks to one day be as successfully aggressive as Po1andBum (Map Committee)After completing his solo harmonica tour of the Antarctic regions, two-time Master Chef runner-up Bum set his sights on a grander prize: an Advance Wars tournament. Known now in the far north as 'He Who Yeets', Bum's style involves reckless use of barbeque equipment and a disregard for air traffic controls. Will the ancestral AWBW prophecy of a two-cheeked saviour come to fruition?Deejus (Youtuber)Hello I'm Deejus, I started playing advance wars over 20 years ago as a Sonja main who terrorized the playground. I have since moved onto Hawke terrorizing people on AWBW and making Advance Wars videos for fun.Dhomochevsky (Youtuber) Hi, I'm Dhomo (Dhomochevsky)!

Kinda decent at moveplannering and theorycrafting - but can he even play the actual game well? His favorite CO is Jugger, so probably not.Havetts (Map Commitee)Senior Map Committee member who is too busy and too scared to lose the five green W's and AWBW ELO to join the Global League, so he spends his majority of time on AWBW making sure no one else has fun.Nightmare of Heiankyou (Map Commitee)Member of the map committee.
