Even considering the fact that atleast half of the players hack it is a better experience than SC2, and that says something :p You definitely should try out one thing: 3x Orc, SH first with wards + mass grunts. You can eliminate first enemy practically right off the bat. Triple wards are really awesome support for your meatshields and when SHs start hitting lvl 2-3 it's almost impossible to stop this kind of rush. You can also add some towers to this, one guy should be teching (for some witch doctors) and one just spamming grunts out of double rax. Unorthodox strats, best strats! (just please don't play 3x NE with PotM, KotG and hunts, basekill strat... so gay...) So many memories... | ||

I'll also use this thread to share good VODs. Like this one. Nail-biting action packed game until the very end. | ||

Not really. The caster is constantly repeating just 4 things "I believe", "probably", "nice", "no". It appears that the caster is not knowledgeable enough to do it, his predictions are mostly wrong and his english isn't all that great either. To clarify some things for people who watched even the first 10 minutes of the VOD: I've been away from the scene for quite a while now so I can't say who's top at the moment, but the guys in this VOD (who are announced by the caster as top players) are nowhere close to what I consider "top". Top players in most RTS games are discerned by the amount of mistakes they make during the game. Less mistakes = more pro. This guys make a ton of stupid mistakes that shouldn't happen at the top of the game. I know that most of the old pros left and most likely there was some kind of void to be filled at the top of WC3, but really? This guys? As much as I love WC3, this game was pretty boring, uneventful and full of dumb mistakes. If those mistakes would be avoided this game should have ended a lot sooner. For comaprison: If shit doesn't happen in at least 3 places all over the map simultanusely, it's not that pro... | ||

I would put his current skill level over that of Remind and FoV of yesteryears. Lawliet is also another nice player, definitely a top Korean playing in foreign tournaments. Also you can't really compare a moneyless online tournament to a LAN tournament, thats just unfair  I'll add, being Believes old manager, I have witnessed him beat ReminD many of times before, so, yea. Going gargs vs NE is a good way to end up dead in modern wc3 strategy, the TeD strat utilized in Believes game is much, much better. | ||

 But somehow this newer players don't seem to have this "omg" aura around them. I'll definitely watch more vods to check it out for sure as it's dumb to really judge anyone by seeing just 1 or 2 games. Edit: btw. does anyone remember this game between Grubby and FoV on Echo or Plunder Isle (or whatever this 1v1 small map was called) where the game was decided by UD death pacting or not death pacting the shade at the time when TC stomp was killing said shade (this shade being the only non-hero unit alive and both players being completely mined out)? This was SO epic! | ||

Not really. As long as you can survive until T2 in a reasonable shape you should be fine. That's when you start getting your shades and BM needs to burn a big chunk of his income on invul pots as you nuke him to death the instant he comes near. | ||

On certain maps, namely tm, if the bm gets one exp tome, you lose (that's also true for hu/orc, am level 3 means you lost 2burrows). One the rest, if he gets 2claws, you also lost the game. Crits will simply two shot your lich. | ||

Nukes are nice but they don't work so well vs O due to most of their units being pretty strong, it's sometimes a good idea to get utility instead. | ||

Or even DL and put BM to sleep, removing him from the fight for a couple seconds periodically. Nukes are nice but they don't work so well vs O due to most of their units being pretty strong, it's sometimes a good idea to get utility instead. Problem with undead is that undead has less utility and more nukes. If it wasn't for those little twerps called spirit walkers, I could also cripple and/or curse BMs and rape his dps that way. By the way, is DK+Ghouls a viable strat vs orc or should i go dk+fiends? Fiends always seem to come out a little bit late and i get fucked if I go fiends and orc goes early bm+grunt pressure (what st1tch02 did to me in every single god damn game). | ||
