The tweet posted by Age of Empires IV announcing the start of the grand final also specified that before TheViperAOE went up against Vinchester, the world would first watch “ Liereyy1 and JorDan_AoE duke it out for bronze.”

The battle between JorDan and Liereyy started out with an immediate swing in Liereyy’s favor as he took victory in the first round. Liereyy dominated in both the second and third rounds, despite having a pitiful economy in comparison to JorDan during round 3.

During the post-match winner interview Liereyy stated that he was still feeling “a bit sad” despite his victory over JorDan, as he had hoped to defend his title as King of the Desert but ended up with third place overall.
