1:50 this really got to me, it was something else man, you can see even the lord got emotional, after all those years of friendly banter and roasts and being a part of the same team, this felt like a "i'm proud of you for what you have achieved" hug. Makes it more special that they both know each other for more than 20 years if not more.
He looks like such a proud dad, towering with his size above the others... his smile has undebatably some mystical effect to all of us. Long live the Lord.
Kudos to the Hippo for all the hard organizational work- respect. Snake, you will always have our support - you are the one to bring me back to the game and the community after a gap of many many years, probably same for hundreds of us. G.O.A.T.
Not much makes me cry anymore, but i know how hard it is to let go of something you love because it's not healthy for you in the long run anymore. I don't know if you'll ever see this Nili, but your two hotkey tutorial videos helped me create me own hotkeys and spring-boarded me back into 1v1 ranked fun after 2 decades out of the game. You have been a gem to the AoE2 community, all the best bro.
Never say never. Hopefully Nili finds what makes him happy and returns one day with a tournament or at least as a caster. How are we going to have events without Nili jokes? There is no substitute.
Oh boy, the first 2 minutes made me cry and the rest of the video made me smile again. What a rollercoaster of emotions! Thanks for providing us these insights over several days, Viper.
7:50 aww that was indeed so sweet. Daut and Nilli always had a special something. one is the icon but nothing professional on how he appears...another tried 2 decades of his life to make AOE professional scene more professional and traditional esports like. Despite all their difference in attitude (may be because of it) they have been so close.
I've been playing AoE2 and following the pro scene since 2013, in the ZeroEmpires days. I feel like this is one of the healthiest gaming communities out there and I am really grateful to be a part of it. This being the last NAC was really emotional because of it. Nili has been one of the hardest working members of the community. Keep up what you are doing Vipey, these recaps are amazing.
I've been following the competitive scene since 2019 and watching big names leaving the game feels like losing a member of the family. It reminds me that Age of empires won't be here forever and we should be grateful for all the good moments because we never know when this will end.
Got to say love these guys. When I first played AOE2 DE 4 years ago, I know none of them. Now I have watched almost every big tournament and know each one of them. Really love this AOE community and hope everything goes well in the future!
Love these behind the scenes looks! It would also be great to have you interview your new teammate! Count me among those hoping this isn't the last NAC...
An awesome thing to watch, nothing really beats LAN tournaments where the other gamers are in the room over reacting to the games. Many thanks to Nili, Snek, Tiramis, and all for a great show!
This is so cool. I remember watching you guys play in a team game for the first time (I think in 2019?) and I thought "I can't believe I am watching four dudes play a 20 year old game and enjoying it so much." Love you guys!
It was a great tournament!!! When I got back into AOE 4 years ago it was because of Tristan and Nili casting tournaments. It was so much fun relearning the game and listening to Nili comment the games. GL Nili and thank you for making me love this game again. Thank you Viper and GL for sharing these behind the scenes moments!
as I commented on Nili's channel - the NAC format is too precious to let go. I agree with Viper and hope that there will be another - in some shape or form in the future.
I am not a person to cry but this is so sad, it would be great if possible to have Jordie, viper, daut, tati, Nilli do a group talk sesh , you guys are such a great group and I know ones has been done with some but all 5, would be amazing as a end to this amazing family that was GL
Loooool I immediately thought of the clip of TaToh raging at DauT when asked if he ever got angry.. good times! Anyway, unfortunately RUclips thumbnails spoiled the Grand Finals contesters for me so from the Hera games on I just read the score in Liquipedia. Viper man, been watching you for over 10 years like the Voobly times. Love the videos and hope to meet you one day. Your videos are so relaxing and amazing to watch. Tournament was amazing and you played so well (I did nog watch the Hera sweep so in my view you played well lol!)
i really choked up seeing nili giving his speech, as a completely incompetent guy when it comes to emotions, this reallly surprised me... wish u all the best nili, hope to see u again...
I enjoy the 2023 GL squad, but glad Hera joined as well. The banter is so funny. I hope there is a NAC6. Also I hope GL picks up Jordan again at least as a reservist.
Kudos To Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuujjuuuujuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu NILI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHOUTOUT TO THIS LEGEND!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
As nice as it is, it’s high time these old schoolers retire and give way to newer players. Not even in the sense of winning money in tournaments, but just different people competing. Most of them have made careers out of playing this game, and their livelihoods and current lifestyle depends on playing this game and winning these tournaments. All the same though, it’s all the same people, all the same tournaments. It’s getting old. But hey whatever, it won’t last forever so enjoy the fruits of your time sinks as much as you guys can. Nothing lasts forever
I love you all been playing on and off for 25 years and you are the reason I come back and get the urge to get back into it a classic game with a classic group ❤️
DauT: Look where MbL and Liereyy are now. I outlast everyone! 😂

He looks like such a proud dad, towering with his size above the others... his smile has undebatably some mystical effect to all of us. Long live the Lord.
Yeah Daut likes to pretend that he doesn't care about anything, but that was a really tender moment between them.
Kudos to the Hippo for all the hard organizational work- respect. Snake, you will always have our support - you are the one to bring me back to the game and the community after a gap of many many years, probably same for hundreds of us. G.O.A.T.
Daut is the goat of hugs too
If I ever feel really depressed i guess i just need daut giving me a hug like he gave nili
Not much makes me cry anymore, but i know how hard it is to let go of something you love because it's not healthy for you in the long run anymore.
I don't know if you'll ever see this Nili, but your two hotkey tutorial videos helped me create me own hotkeys and spring-boarded me back into 1v1 ranked fun after 2 decades out of the game. You have been a gem to the AoE2 community, all the best bro.
this Nilli guy is a real deal. Made me emotional
thank you so much !!
NAC 5 is final as of today, I am sure NAC will return.
Never say never. Hopefully Nili finds what makes him happy and returns one day with a tournament or at least as a caster. How are we going to have events without Nili jokes? There is no substitute.
Oh boy, the first 2 minutes made me cry and the rest of the video made me smile again. What a rollercoaster of emotions!

so sweet how touched nili was in that moment damn he sounded like he was about to cry every second now
Mmmhh he did? 😢
I've been following the competitive scene since 2019 and watching big names leaving the game feels like losing a member of the family. It reminds me that Age of empires won't be here forever and we should be grateful for all the good moments because we never know when this will end.
Really enjoyed these recaps and behind the scene insights. Especially the unexpected guest appearances like Loom-Donnie were so cool to see.
Got to say love these guys. When I first played AOE2 DE 4 years ago, I know none of them. Now I have watched almost every big tournament and know each one of them. Really love this AOE community and hope everything goes well in the future!

No, I'm not crying, it's you crying
Never easy to watch someone walk away from their passion
Tatoh getting triggered over the tower .. I was crying with laughter. Good work Nili. What a legend.
Thanks a lot Tiramis :)
An awesome thing to watch, nothing really beats LAN tournaments where the other gamers are in the room over reacting to the games. Many thanks to Nili, Snek, Tiramis, and all for a great show!
1:11 remember that meme with 1 person on couch and few huge black dudes around?? i got flashbacks uhhhhh
Thanks for the recaps snek, its great to see a bit of the inside, great energy
This is so cool. I remember watching you guys play in a team game for the first time (I think in 2019?) and I thought "I can't believe I am watching four dudes play a 20 year old game and enjoying it so much." Love you guys!
crazy how i started getting tears over a video game tournament... then he hit us with that nili joke... so well done GG my friends
Shed a little tear in the beginning…
It was a great tournament!!! When I got back into AOE 4 years ago it was because of Tristan and Nili casting tournaments. It was so much fun relearning the game and listening to Nili comment the games. GL Nili and thank you for making me love this game again. Thank you Viper and GL for sharing these behind the scenes moments!
You didn't leave in Nili going to work at the mirror factory - that was an amazing moment in the livestream!
Thank you Viper!; for bringing us this Video!!!!!!!! You are Truly Amazing!!!! 😍
as I commented on Nili's channel - the NAC format is too precious to let go. I agree with Viper and hope that there will be another - in some shape or form in the future.
I love the recaps and I appreciate both of you putting in the work for it!
It was a beautiful moment. I follow all of you guys, and it has been an amazing journey.
Cmon continue this as T90's Mansion Tournament
Thanks for the recaps, Tiramis! I love them a lot :D
Big thank to Nili for all his love for this game and the comunity.

Love the recap videos, great job!
Tiranis/Tyranis is amazing at his craft.
we need more donnie in this recap videos, enjoyed them a lot, thx for the hard work
I am not a person to cry but this is so sad, it would be great if possible to have Jordie, viper, daut, tati, Nilli do a group talk sesh , you guys are such a great group and I know ones has been done with some but all 5, would be amazing as a end to this amazing family that was GL
Accm and lierrray both know how to give a good hugs

Can I remember you on that missing NAC stream were Jordan and Daut were drinking and getting drunk while casting? Still funny 😂
Great job everybody, haven't had the chance to follow all games but what I've seen was great!
All the hugs with Nili 🥺
I enjoy the 2023 GL squad, but glad Hera joined as well. The banter is so funny. I hope there is a NAC6. Also I hope GL picks up Jordan again at least as a reservist.
Viper I love the music for Nili's speech ;)
The way the lord hugs...
Doubt is so funny 😂 such a dry sense of humour.
Daut is such a legend
Why did the start have to hit so hard 😢 happy sad
Well done to this fantastic four, so funny 😂
I cried.
00:01 the edit effects make nili looks like hes having white hair
Maybe it will change from Nili's Apartment Cup (NAC) to Nili's House Cup (NHC)? But until then, I can't wait for VHC (Viper's House Cup).
Great recaps! Great job you all guys and GL team! GGWP
King.
legendary 🫶🏼
Don’t quit bro, I only just started following
Kudos To Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuujjuuuujuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu NILI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The show was fantastic. Thanks for the insights
Thanks Nili for an incredible event
Nili will be back. Im sure of it. This game is in his blood. This will not be the last NAC. May take a year or more.. but he will return.
Tiramis legend
Nili is a legend!
Great cutting btw
7:35 - lmao, Viper smashed :D
Perhaps someone needs to host a NNAC. A Not-Nili's Apartment Cup.
I love Daut s Gengar Shirt
Why is Nili not doing another NAC?
VIPER YOU ARE A CHAMP
Awesome videos.
This was great Viper...and excellent content. Daut was serious. tnx nili.
Thank you!
What did Viper say at 6:18?
"You remember when I was mad at Daut for being XXXX?"
Late I think
Jordan, DauT, Viper and TaToH ❤

The AOE community is awesome.
I'm out of the loop. Why its his last NAC?
I love you all been playing on and off for 25 years and you are the reason I come back and get the urge to get back into it a classic game with a classic group ❤️
We love this game and love you Nili
So I've been in and out of AOE for a while where is nilli going?!?
With clips and videos of you all,
It is hard for me to follow stuff, but why it is the last NAC?
LOVE❤
Why did nili decide it to be the last Tourney
Aww it was a great event
NilliLove
So sad that nili left. :( Maybe GL could fill the gap ;) and do a GL Apartment Cup. :)
Tiramis is the goat
Are all the pros giants or is Nili short?
Germans do have hearts
💯💯💯
Aufstehen und dem Mann im Hintergrund helfen! Was sitzst du noch rumm?
Sad shit :( gg nili
Nilli
Why this event ends?
