Who won Red Bull Wololo: Londinium?
Team Vitality had a major day of competition today, as two of its players–Hamzah "Hera" El-Baher and Kai "Liereyy" Kallinger went head-to-head at the Red Bull Wololo: Londinium Grand Final. Red Bull Wololo is considered one of the most prestigious Age of Empires II tournament series, and Hera walked away from the Londinium edition victorious for his 16th back-to-back S-Tier tournament win.
Hera’s victory over Liereyy also afforded him his second consecutive title of 2026 after T90 Titans League 5: Platinum League earlier in 2026. It also gave Team Vitality its first-ever LAN trophy in Age of Empires II, which would have gone to the team regardless of his win–given that both of the Grand Final competitors were from the team.
Liereyy took second place at the tournament, and their fellow Team Vitality teammate Hernan “Hearttt” Pizarro also took fifth–sixth place. Onimaru Esports’ The Viper and Wonders’ Sebastian also locked in third–fourth place at the tournament.
Hera took home US$50,000 for his big win, while Liereyy scored US$30,000. The Viper and Sebastian won US$20,000 for finishing in third–fourth place.
Danny Engels, corporate director of global operations at Team Vitality said of the team’s big win:
“We’re beyond happy to have claimed yet another victory for Team Vitality, this time at our very first Age of Empires II LAN, and what better place to do it than at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in London. As clear favourites going into the tournament, we were determined not to leave empty-handed, and we delivered exceptional results with both first and second place. We’re proud to have won in front of the passionate Age of Empires community, and that our performance inspires fans globally to join the Hive, as we aim to continue lifting trophies and become the best club in the world.”
Team Vitality also plans to co-host their own major Age of Empires II LAN tournament, along with event organiser BEING Esports: The Garrison 2026. The event will host up to 1,000 spectators in Hamburg, Germany from 25–29 November, and serve as another staple event in the Age of Empires II esports circuit.
