Thank you Nili for the greatest S-Tier family event ever! Thank you for all you do, all you did and all you will do forward. You have cemented yourself in the Hall of Fame as a Legend of the game and a legend of the AoE Community! All you have done will be remembered by so many people and you've affected so many people, something to be truly proud of! I wish you all the best of luck and happiness with what you do next, with that in mind remember that you will forever have a place to come back to and be welcomed with loving arms in the AoE community. You are a big part of this family! Thank you Nili, much love from Norway!

[@gulanhem9495]

Will Nili stop casting AoE2 and will he not even host NAC anymore?

[@mushfiqurrahman1107]

RedBull was iconic, But Nili this tournament will always be closer to my heart. There’s just something comfortable about this tournament, it feels like a family gathering more than anything else. Absolutely loved it. Thank you and good luck Nili

[@Srioll]

NAC is the epitome of how awesome and wholesome the aoe community is. All the top players and casters just chilling with each other, joking, laughing, encouraging, messing around. It's just so pure. Absolutely love it. Incredible games and an incredible backdrop to them too. Thanks Nili for all you put into these

[@guilhermebampataiar8888]

Thats awsome! Something you don't see in other game communities!

[@AoE2Replays]

Hey Nili, Today i played this final on my parents Television screen, and managed to get them to watch some of it! My father remarked, that he remembers buying us Age of Empires 2 as kids. he couldn't BELIEVE there was a tournament with cash prizes, let alone a pro scene, after all this time since the game came out. Needless to say he was impressed haha. Anyways just wanted to share a little moment! thanks so much for all the organizing and everything that you do! (Also GG Hera, and thanks to Mr. Yo for making things interesting!! Well played by both. WP to all the pros. insane gameplay)

[@rahulbasu5730]

Age of Empires 2 pro scene is at such a high level right now. Thanks Nilli and team for putting together such a fabulous tourney. Much love from India.

[@jonopollard8277]

Just finally caught up on NAC, what a great tournament Nili - great production, great interviews and great entertainment. Hope it was everything you wished for and more. All the best with your future and thank you for everything you've done for AOE2 and the community - hope to see you around the scene again in some capacity

[@NiliAoE2]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@angrysammo]

There is a brotherhood in Aoe2. If I ever meet someone irl that says they watch/play aoe2, we will be instant homies. Thanks for the event.

[@Lucky008aau]

Totally true. I found out my neighbor is into the game. It was like, "did we just become best friends?" We did.

[@mytube8106]

can only say the same as the others: this was the best tournament I have watched. great production, content, matches and personal insights. really entertaining to watch. I hope to see you around as a guest or something in other tournis.

[@isaacberger2561]

Such. An. Amazing. Event. Thank you Nili.

[@BoxofRain-ff4td]

Thanks Nili all the best moving forward!

[@jonathangingrich5353]

Congratulations on a wonderful tournament Nili. Thanks for all you’ve done for the community. All the best in whatever you do next!

[@theawesomeeighties]

Amazing, getting back into air myself, what a great way to get to know all the amazing players. Brining the community together!

[@AnthonyAvon]

What a performance from everyone in the tournament! It was an absolute joy watching. Congratulations to Hera and I can't wait to see what everyone else will come up with to try to take the finals from him next time. Hello to DauT, a fellow Serbian, and Yo, one of my new favorites, that match on Copenhagen alone forever inspired me to never give up on anything. GG WP!

[@DBoycee91]

Thank you Nili for all you have given to the AoE community, i'm sad NAC is done but glad that we got another epic event

[@nemanmurad6152]

Congrats for the tournament and thank you for everything you did to the community for all these years. NAC is the funniest s tier tournament and this one wasn’t different. Wish you all the best in your next steps!

[@wesleyderuiter]

5:10 gotta love Dave's Memb impression

[@basementrocketry5868]

Nili, I could say a lot of things about your amazing AoE career and the massive impact you have had on the community. But I think I will leave it on a more fitting note; ggwp

[@StarFlex21]

NAC5 was amazing. Thanks for all your content, tournaments and service for the community. Good luck with all your future endeavors 🎉

[@fahadmubeen6272]

The first match, just insane. Mr. Yo with 3 castles in Hera base, monks, Organ guns. Hira losing 4 Onagers, 3 bombard cannons to Monks, and still finding a way to win. Damn!!!!! just insase, insane.

[@obuw1]

Hey Nili, thanks for hosting the fifth installment of by far the most entertaining tournament format in AoE! I know you have retired and this will probably not be read, but I wish you had uploaded the full 12+ hour videos to youtube. I was not able to catch the event live, but I have been watching all the matches one by one on youtube. After watching all the matches (that are available on KZbin) from Day 1 & 2, I saw in a comment that there were even interviews after the matches and so on, so I found the full 12 hour streams in your twitch history. Unfortunately, twitch only keeps them for 2 months, so Days 1-3 are already gone, and Day 4 is about to disappear today, with the rest to follow soon. There is so much entertainment in the streams in addition to the matches. And as another plus, we don't get spoiled about the results of a match from the length of the video. I'm sure there is a good reason why you decided to split the days to separate videos (and that reason is probably the youtube algorithm) but I think many people would love to watch (or rewatch) the full uncut event footage, perhaps in a secondary channel?

[@NiliAoE2]

If you are on my channel, click "live" instead of "videos" Voila 90h of NAC 5

[@obuw1]

@@NiliAoE2 Oh, I think I need to subscribe to see them, right? Sorry I don't use twitch a lot so I'm not aware of its many features. But if I can access them as a subscriber that's perfect! Thanks! Perhaps you could mention that here in video descriptions like "check out the full streams at if you are a subscriber" 😃

[@Lucky008aau]

NAC, Hidden Cup, and Redbull Wololo: all different, all great. Thank you, Nili.

[@gonzalotoscano3310]

Man the time of the games was really bad for me, tried to catch this live but was really hard. Great tournament, having players cast each other was really cool to watch, also really funny, hope this was everything you wanted Nili.

[@oldbuddyolpal9859]

I skiiped tound 5 and on because ill advised thumbnails spoiled it all

[@marcuscogley2562]

That was a great series, thank you for putting it on Nili and co.

[@ChocolateMilkCultLeader]

NAC will always be my fav AOE tourney. Thank you for this

[@JamesFodor]

Thanks for everything Nili. We won't forget all you have done!

[@socratesAurelio]

Greate finals congratz to all players !!! insane championship GG Nili hope we se another one in the future !

[@ar1sm70]

Thank you Nili for the best AoE2 events our game has ever had and of course for everything you've done over the years!!! GGs to the winner, more than well deserved!!

[@joelashworth1037]

My first time watching NAC. Now i want to watch the previous 4!

[@zanenorvill993]

Thanks Nilli! Great tournament as always. Well done to all the players too

[@GamingASMR-nz3vv]

Sad that you put the names in the title. I wanted to watch all the previous games, but now I already know who made it :(

[@JohnSmith-tk7nt]

At what point does Hera start playing 2v1 in tournaments now too?

[@jakubpamula1044]

Just one question :( why do you have to put names in title? was watching yesterday Daut vs freakin Andy, and YO vs. ACCM, because I am unable to watch live, and than I wanted to see next round, but all of sudden first video was finals YO vs, Hera so I ve got spoiled out, and riht now I wont watch any other series because I will know how it will end..... so maybe for the future just put in the title Finals/semifinals, like memb is doing, because otherwise it do not have much point uploading if you get spoiled out immidietally. But lovely Event.

[@UrosDrljaca]

Yeah, I couldn't watch live and I got spoiled couple of times.

[@Andy-qn7py]

Yeah I wasnt even done with the group stage. Was looking forward to finding out who will make it... I am very sad

[@user-dv1xe1uh7m]

you guys need to add like an hour to every video so the length of the video doesn't give away the results

[@tomtenthij5676]

Don't look at the length

[@user-dv1xe1uh7m]

@tomtenthij5676 I try not to but I see it I can't unsee it 11

[@homerco213]

We love this game. Thanks Nili and crew.

[@joacocichello]

Thank you Nili for everything

[@Cheximus]

Highlights of NAC - - Sebastian's castle to lose out to ACCM - Nili calling out Nord VPN not once, but twice! - Daut mangonelling his own castle - Yo's King. I watched as much as I could, unfortunately had to work quite a lot the first week, but then was glued to it. Hope you can come back for a 6th edition - I see no reason why not given the generosity of the AoE scene :)

[@Jocw27]

well, so much for watching the whole tournament

[@DuncaR]

Gg wp to everyone involved!

[@MasterJohnam]

Damn the jostle micro in these games is insane. Im at like 180apm max, couldn't hang with these guys at all for sure.

[@6CaptainFalcon9]

Thanks for putting the players in the thumbnails!

[@b360smile]

NAC3 was the first i watched on stream. NAC4 was such a good Tournament too. And NAC5 was the best E-Sports Tournament for me. Big Productions like Blast are not realy better. Microsoft is missing a big chance if they not fully sponsor a NAC6 and Nilis and the Teams work. I know Nili has to move on but with the financial support wonders could happen.

[@MrFunnyXD]

Loved the tournament, thanks a lot to everyone

[@tomtenthij5676]

Huge Respect To Nili!!!! FOR WHAT HE'S DONE

[@billthomas2154]

That game one defense was amazing.

[@MajorBuzzkill23]

Thank you Nili, for everything

[@myilmaz8492]

Amazing organisation, thanks you guys!

[@Plumbsbirne]

Damn, Nili. I was so hyped about NAC and now you spoiled everything in the Titles/Thumbnails =(

[@trumpvsbiden1337]

the worst thing about todays AOE2 is that only Hera is in his Prime.

[@UzumakiNaruto_]

It seems like a fair number of players are at their prime, just that right now Hera is on another level. At the moment Hera is like Michael Jordan at his best and is extremely difficult to defeat. That doesn't mean that there aren't a bunch of great stars who are just abit below him who are playing great as well who are capable of beating him.

[@danielbasaran817]

Hera unbeatable at the moment - and Nili definitely the best host in AoE, just as unbeatable as Hera. Really sad you can't make a living off it anymore - but I hope to keep seeing you in the community in the future.

[@Pdavid44]

Great tourney thanks Nili.

[@stephenkamps8925]

Hera has such a nice haircut

[@Real9324]

Schade, dass das Thumbnail der semis und finals gespoilert hat. Als arbeitender Mensch hab ichs natürlich nicht geschafft alles live zu sehen. Trotzdem ein geiles Event 👍 Thanks, but please no spoliers next time 😋

[@Walla_ttv]

If you could not spoil the contestors of the next NAC, oh wait... Well, they have always been a blast, even though I knew the winner by Liquipedia lol

[@MrMonsterjesus]

Yo was so unlucky with his conversions in that first game. Hera with the protagonist plotarmor.

[@bobbyjoe1111]

Spoiled by a suggestion yet again... Blocking your channel, sorry

[@maskarone]

I must say I'am very disappointed with these titles that spoils the matches before. I Just fished the round of six and then this pops up. Feels like there is no point in watching on now which is sad. Then none spoiling thumbnails and titles should really be the norm.

[@taniabosse9163]

why are pros horrible at boats ...too much arabia crap map ? 11

[@Southeast_Asian_Devil]

Can we please ban Hera from tournaments? :)) Pay him 2K (negotiable) in advance for doing nothing.

[@Kidge.6081]

The end of an great era, but not this aoe legend. Thanks Nili. 😢 you and your tourney will be missed. Best of luck. Here’s looking at you 😊 🪞
