I'd be very interested to see a current list, as I believe there's still a moderate-sized Asian scene. As far as I can tell from war3.replays.net Some big names like TH000, moon, lyn, ted, etc are still active.

Orc mirror on TFT was excessively volatile, all depending on what items the creeps drop and on how many crits your BM lands.

The crits are not that important, considering the high HP units in WC3 in general and especially for orc, it is more like an overall dps increase. The Blademaders's strength is more about the items you have. But "luck" comes with effort (a good planned out creep route.)

still... orc mirror was like the worst matchup.
even with a good creep route you were at a BIG disadvantage if you got 2 ring of protection while the other BM has circlet or claws. also there were maps with only one shop (echo isles...) and the fight for the 1 pair of boots decided who could harass easily.


Wasn't Orc mirror that bad for some players that they would learn NE and off-race just to avoid the coin flip?


Offracing as elf was common for human mirror I believe.

Yea, with the way Sky developed the HvH metagame, HvH became a lot more coin-flippy. Basically it went from tier 2 and 3 fights into mass tier 1 footmen with mercenaries and often base trades.


Man I loved those T1 fights... HvH was great imo.
Your topic made me reinstall War3 just so you know :p

viOlet is known for one more thing: at peak of his skill, when he became real power that can play against the best of the best there was a fire at his fathers house, so he leaved gaming and SK to help him. He returned to gaming only with SC2 release. Also he started as a great 2x2 player at A1 team with nelf player Uranus.WeRRa

Infi did this too. Then what happened was that when Infi played TH000, they played a NE mirror. Eventually Sky fell into this temptation too and all three would just NE mirror against each other in tournaments. Sky was the worst at it though out of the three.

Sky should've learned UD in that case

th000 is probably the best random player.
for some time he was the only one who I would find replays of on wcreplays, that would beat other topplayers with Ud

Oh man, so many awesome memories. I remember always hating Sky and Infi and their tower rushes and rooting for whoever they were against haha. And Moon didn't play Night Elf; he was the 5th race.

4k was my favorite team. ToD/Grubby/Creo was just so much dominance in a single foreign team. Creo's WCG 2007 journey is probably my favorite storyline in all of WC3 history.

No Fly, no TH000... Madfrog in 8th. Um, yeah... I don't really see how these can be considered "power rankings." I get the whole "only SC2 players" angle, but that paints a very, very narrow picture of the scene. You're missing out some of the best players the game had to offer. People often don't seem to realise that most of the ex-WC3 players who do well in SC2 were mostly fairly average in WC3 and by missing out the non-SC2 player from this list i think the OP is continuing that misconception. You did rightly mention that Naniwa was more famous for his behaviour than for this skill but a lot of the top European SC2 players were average-to-good in WC3 (by pro standards, obviously).

This list seems pretty random. You seem to be mixing historic accomplishments and the skill level at the end of Wc3 as your deciding factors. Also I'm missing some pretty big names in your top ten while there are players like Lucifron who was just a very promising talent. Also tak3r mostly played for mtw while I remember take mostly for being on SK maybe they were on the same team for a brief period but I honestly doubt it.
I want to be with those who share secret things or else alone.
