Welcome to eso-community.net (ESOC), an Age of Empires 3 website run by the community for the community. ESOC initially began as a hosting website founded in 2015 for the drought ending tournament Age of Empires 3 Spring Championship (ASC Spring). The event, a resounding success, its grand finals reaching an unprecedented 1000 concurrent viewers in the scene, inspired ESOC to continue to host seasonal, free-to-enter, crowdfunded tournaments. As the website grew, so too did the brand, tournament notation changed from ASC to ESOC, YouTube and Twitch accounts were created, and ESOC became and now remains the focal point for Age of Empires 3 community congregation. The website now boasts over 8,000 forum members, a balance patch crafted by the game’s top minds, and roughly a dozen completed tournaments totaling over $6,400 USD in cumulative prize pool handout.
