A big battle in warcraft is 20 units hacking at each other standing still for 1 minute. I guess I understand why people like warcraft 3. I mean, it is the only game that I know that you can go take a piss right in the middle of the action and still not lose any of it. | ||

Is the competition between Koreans and foreigners closer than it is in sc? Grubby won WCG most recently, beating Moon. He's frmo the Netherlands, which shows koreans arent so much ahead than 'foreigners', which isnt rly a term used in wc3. Moon is probably the most successful, as in has made the most money. Sky has won 2 WCGs, which nobody else has done in wc3 i think, but he isnt playing too well recently. It's mainly orcs dominating right now, Skys human. I don't think theres any player who's as far ahead as Jaedong is right now. | ||

Yeah if you play wc3 like it's sc you'll lose, you need to focus on the rpg elements which means leveling your heroes. Plus game penalizes you for having large army  | ||

I'm not trying to rag on WCIII, but I thought it was because it's significantly easier than SC. Anyway, Grubby is considered Jaedong, with Lyn maybe...an in-form Luxury. | ||

But it's only orcs with their blademaster who go around trying to get the best items, since damage items stack so well with critical strike. Like claws of attack, and circlets of nobility. | ||

WC3 at a professional level is as challenging as SC, but in a completely different way. After all, they are two different games. | ||

grunts die fairly fast to the blademaster. and losing 1 or 2 gurnts is quite a big deal, one of the reasons grubby lost last game. unlike losing 1 or 2 lings. | ||

It is weird because like I even had rallied troops showing up but didn't mean anything. | ||

Bw has just been out for so long and the koreans have such a huge lead in competition and number of players because theyve taken it serious far longer than anyone else. Has nothing to do with easier. Koreans have just been playing 8-10 hrs a day for like 8-9 years. | ||
