Aftermath (abbr. aM, aM') was a team competing in tournaments for the game Age of Empires II.

Overview[edit]

The origins of Aftermath lie in 2016, when Liereyy, Hearttt and MbL started entering tournaments together. Their first tournament victory came in Into the Darkness (2016), where the trio won the grand finals against Nadya's Boys under the name Masters of Black Forest (MOBF).[1] Team was disbanded on March 2024.

The first major tournament in which the team participated was Clan Masters: The Final Showdown (2016), where MbL and Liereyy joined forces with Melkor, Vodka_L, and FeAge as team Heartless.[2] In 2017, Liereyy, Hearttt and MbL won Clash of the Hippo 3 under the name KaiKai Larry. Other examples of early tournaments included Masters of Arabia 2v2 (2016/17)[3], Return of the Kings 2v2 (2017)[4] and Gladiators of the Arena (2017)[5], in which Liereyy and Hearttt entered as The Machos. On October 17th 2017, Liereyy, Hearttt and MbL founded the clan Aftermath on gaming platform Voobly.[6] Under this new name, they won the Let Your Teammate Die! (2018) tournament.[7]

For the 3v3 tournament Battle of Africa 1 (2018), the team added Nicov to their roster. Aftermath claimed second place in this tournament after losing to TyRanT in the grand finals. During the year-long Escape Champions League tournament, Hera transferred from Heresy to Aftermath. The team qualified for the LAN finals in Manchester, where they finished runner-up to Team Secret. In 2019, MbL, Nicov and Hera won the Two Pools Tournament.[8]

In June 2020, Aftermath won Battle of Africa 2 beating Team Secret in the finals. In September, Hera would leave the team to join Tempo Storm before the start of King of the Desert 3. He would eventually be joined by Liereyy. Meanwhile Nicov became a free agent. Though Tempo had aquiered them, Hera and Liereyy still competed alongside aM members in team games when available to do so.

In July 2021, Liereyy and Tempo parted ways, and Hera would soon do the same. Before long, Nicov, Hera, and Liereyy would all rejoin the aM team in an official capacity. In September, Hera and Liereyy would go on to win Empire Wars Duo 2 this time both as part of Aftermath.

In February 2022, Hera announced that he would only compete in Age of Empires II in major tournaments, though he fully returned to the game in April. During February and March, Aftermath played the Return of the Clans tournament. Again they faced their rival in the finals, the former Team Secret, now Gamer Legion, and won. Both teams lacked important players in their roster: Hera and TheViper. In May, Aftermath was invited to participate with four other teams in the Rise of the Elephants, a tournament that promoted the DLC Dynasties of India. They ended drawing by points in first place with Suomi. In June, they repeated their Battle of Africa title, winning Battle of Africa 3, again against GL.

2023 was a year with many Aftermath showmatches against White Wolf Palace: four in total with three in favor of aM. In May/June the Douyu Invitational was played, a quadrangular in which aM, WWP, GL and Suomi participated. There was a three-way tie for first place with Suomi and GL, but Aftermath ended up being first due to the best win-loss balance. In July, Delicious Whirled Cup 2023 was another tournament where there was an aM-GL final. This time, it was the Legion's turn to emerge victorious. The Cartographers was the final tournament of the year in AoE2's main scene of teamgame. MbL and Nicov reached the quarterfinals and Hera, Liereyy and Hearttt lost in the finals against TheViper and Jordan.

2024 began by surprising all AoE2 followers: on January 6th Hera left Aftermath to be part of GamerLegion, but the final surprise came on March 21st: remaining Aftermath players decided to disband the team. MbL chatting on Hearttt's stream wrote: Hearttt, aM' is dead. Nicov, in his discord, talking about the end of AfterMath, said I think I'm not wrong if I say that aM managed to become the best AoE2 team along with TyranT-Secret-Gamer Legion. So we have nothing to reproach ourselves. About the future of the members, Nicov said From now on each of us is going to look for something on our own.
