Really have to ask this the Koreans who always watch him play. Yeah, and I guess it isn't surprising that one retard/troll defends another one -_- | ||

I'm not entirely sure why or how it happened, but KidA just kinda disappeared. I believe it was WoW that got her. I remember seeing posts about how much time she was sinking into the new WoW betas that were coming out. Bunny took the reigns for quite a while and continued to make things awesome and weave a semblance of a community feeling, but she disappeared eventually. I think she got a new job or something. I can't speak for how things were after 2007, but if nobody else took up the reigns to keep the ball moving, then I'd say 2004-2006 was the highpoint of WC3's lifespan. | ||

It's such a shame WC3 just died. If one day, WC3 becomes popular again, I'm definitly switching. I have to say that WC3 is just plain boring to watch if you have no clue what's going on. A SC2 match is usually fun to watch because it's fast paced, but It's boring for most people to watch WC3 heroes walk around and creep and not engaging in fights for 10 minutes. famous SC3 players would be Sky, Moon, Grubby, Tod (SHUT YOUR NOSE XD). IMHO, they were the flash, jaedong, stork, bisu of WC3. | ||

The concept of focus firing, surrounding, retreat although in SC BW and SC2 also, is a little bit more important IMO. I'm not trying to bash SC2 or anything, but mostly in gold leagues and below, all you do in fights is attack move, watch the fight. Everything is dying so fast you don't have time to react properly. In WC3, an orc grunt is going to live forever. Literally. If the orc players loses its 2 early game grunts, oh man, good luck. It's such a shame WC3 just died.

SC2 is fun to watch, but (for me) too tiring because there are way too many things to do and too unforgiving. Also I don't know who the hell would think I was trolling about surrounding. In wc3, being able to surround quickly and efficiently with minimal number of units is an essential part of the game and one of the core skills of a progamer in wc3. A single good surround on a hero can instantly make you win the game. | ||

WC3, on the other hand, is such a chill game (and when I tilt on SC2, I go to WC3 and dick around in the 4v4s). But SC2 is more fun to watch. You get far more "I watch but don't play" fans for SC2 than for WC3. Hope they come out with a WC4 one day. I think I'd switch in a heartbeat. | ||

I thought it was a lot of fun, in particular the TFT campaign, though the RoC campaign was entertaining too. I actually played through them multiple times, and the story was pretty darn good, IMHO, especially for a fantasy setting.  | ||

The campaign is my favourite in all of the RTS's I've played (story-wise). On July 10 2011 01:08 haduken wrote: How is unit pathing terrible in War3? It was way way better than BW... I don't think it even matters in War3, a TP is always on hand to use ^^ Unit pathing is great because you can abuse it in wc3 or DotA. Thats one of the reasons why I dont play LoL or Hon | ||

Did that kill WC3 in Korea? here is a good summary of what happened: http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/9111-MBC_Map_Scandal_Update I don't know if this particular incident 'killed' WC3 in Korea... it's more like WC3 never even took off. OGN had like 1 or 2 seasons and then just fizzed out. While Koreans still dominated the scene, it wasn't nearly as centralized as BW was to Korea. | ||

Tod vs Moon wasn't great, was quite onesided actually and just Moon trolling. -Moon vs his nemesis, the best Undead ever, FoV, at the WCG qualifier 05 or 06 on Twisted Meadows. Such a sick high level NvU in every aspect, like 40 mins of pure skill and action -FoV vs Grubby on Gnoll Wood @ ESWC 05 - Fov using a unit combo nobody thought would be viable against the Undeadkiller Grubby in such an amazing fashion, MUST WATCH -Moon vs Grubby @ Turtle Rock during the WEG ToD won(06 afaik), just mindblowing - the winner jumped onto the table afterwards, because he was so pumped after winning it -FoV vs GoStop @ Echo Isles, just because the winner wins with exactly 1 supply vs 0 :D And so many more... Just posting names of good games is not enough, so here is one example of a great game I really enjoyed: + Show Spoiler + http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwZ7dsuWSrw (has 3 parts and German casting) for me the best ever played in my brief wc3 experience is the wcg finals between creo and sky. it was amazing. 4k was having trouble with fov leaving and their other guys(fury and someone else) doing nothing. only grubby and tod were doing shit. then creo comes along, noone thinks too much, and he just completely comes and dominates the scene. then he announces his retirement, and i was dissapointed. i was amazed at how fast he came onto the scene and dominated. then he says he's gonna prepare for wcg 2007 like 2-3months before and he makes it all the way to the finals. now he was like 20-80 underdog because he had a much easier bracket while sky had to kill all the big pros(i think, a little blurry). he loses the first game. he then fucking tower rushes sky on the second game cuz he thought he was gonna lose anyways i think. after that it comes to a third game where creo stopped sky from fast expanding. then it fucking went into 1base vs 1 base riflecaster vs NE, i didn't see a single riflecaster game in like months. it comes down to the wire then creo gets level 6 demonhunter, GG. heres the game i just watched it it still makes me soooo hype http://kiwi.kz/watch/qpyn4s3xvyj4/ | ||

It seems like the russian wc3 scene is pretty strong (goodgame.ru), and the chinese scene is pretty good but they have been kind of segregated from everyone else because they use a difficult to use chinese language client and like 90% of them play on older patches. Not to mention their inet connection issues I think in general the bnet servers should be fine for finding games for people who aren't very good/ just starting out | ||
