The best way to get maps is through the replay links, for example any replay on WCReplays.com that is not in the map pool should link back to a map pack, or a direct link to a map.
Ohhh memories... I remember when I got the beta for this game and I was so excited. I was pretty decent back in the day but immaturity really stopped me from getting better. I still followed the scene for years after I stopped mostly playing.
Here's our TL tournament from over 7 years ago, now!
Aether at the time was a big name, and Orlandu was certainly a rising star. I made it to the semi-finals but got swept by Aether. I remember I could have taken one game off him but I choked pretty bad.
A couple years before in the TFT beta, I had beaten Aether 3-2 (who was then #1 on the beta ladder as a random player) in the finals of this tournament that was a bitch for me to get to... I had to play this one guy twice at one point because no one believed I beat him the first time! Everyone bitched at me hard because I tower rushed in the last game vs. Aether, close positions on Turtle Rock HU vs. NE. It was a "KOTH" format (where I was the first king) and I got challenged and lost a couple days later... lost 1-3 to a known USEast human player at the time, but I can't remember his name (I think Faluzure?). It was a very disorganized tournament, but still memorable for me! A brief moment in time that probably wasn't recorded on any War3 sites; but I will always remember it!
I played through the War3 campaigns a couple years ago since I had no internet for a while; it was a lot of fun and brought back memories.
Have you guys thought about trying to get some old war3 pros do a $50 showmatch on war3 or something for laughs. I'm sure many of the sc2 pros who were former wc3 players would do a fun showmatch for laughs for people who aksed for it.

Edit: Oh yeah, my favorite Orc strategy. BM is gay, FS is where's it all at! I must say I like to abuse FS vs UD, potion of invis -> kill acos, staff/tp out. And it works well with wyverns too.
Well that discourages me from wanting to play undead... i just hope its not like that on every matchup :X

These days I don't have time for many games.
By the gods! You're alive!
You owned me hard in the playoffs there

With UD you often feel like fighting an uphill battle, but usually if you can get past the critical stage you tend to steamroll your opponent. If you didn't know, UD is the only race in WC3 capable of going 1v2 and coming out on top (there've been a lot of 2v2 strategies involving one guy getting nothing except the hero and just feeding money to UD who would roll over enemies). I must say that it even happened to me once, where I was playing RT and my NE partner dropped instantly. I still managed to win against O/NE combo (took me a while though).
Hey guys I saw this thread and was wondering if anyone would be interested to play a custom map called Azeroth Wars : Legacy Reborn. (It is very similar to Dark Ages of Warcraft to anyone who may have played it) It is a custom map and it revolves around 12 factions, each player being a specific faction and starting off with it. It is control point income based, but abilities and such are unique to its own races with pretty good balance.
This is a bit of advertising, but I really do enjoy this map and I hope that others might find interest in it as well. The bot's name is: Lhot-awlr and it can be found on US East and Europe.
The map discussions are found at diplomunion and it is a much smaller community than that of TeamLiquid, but it has things like News bulletins, discussions, and others that I hope people will visit other than things like TL. While I do visit TL every day (Every 15 minutes ^.^ but I do enjoy being with a smaller community sometimes and while there's some people that are a bit much than others, but I think it's not a very hard community to blend into if you have your own opinions.
Once again, sorry if this is advertising another community, but like I said, I really want this map to become more popular and people contribute more for the map to be better. Thank you~
Undead is widely regarded as the weakest race on a competitive level, but as long as you don't want to go pro, UD is strong enough to win.
I'd say the number one problem as UD is controlling tempo, but the only problem this is huge against is orc, and blade master denying your creeping. VS elf and human you should be harassing, and vs ud its a mirror matchup.

Well, what screwed up this match was the fact that he got his acolytes killed twice. Undead with statues and a couple of destroyers can be hell for orc.

I agree , a bnet clan would be the best solution so we can all play together when we log in
Hardly possible. I (and I guess some other people too) have no idea where my original CD's are so I don't have my keys and I lost them even before bnet 2.0 so I didn't get to add them to my blizz account. So, playing on bnet (and joining a clan there) is not really an option for me at the moment.

At the moment, I think most of us are congregating on Garena and either using the chat system on Garena or IRC to coordinate games. I still wouldn't mind having a clan on BNet though if we can get enough ppl to log in, esp. for those who don't want to play with a third-party software.

Also, that Orc player was good!
IMO, FoCuS is the best Orc player still left in Korea atm (esp. since Lyn's in China). I like his style too; he doesn't go BM all day every day like some other Orcs (*coughLyncough* though, okay, I'm still incredibly fond of Lyn too).
EPT
but I do enjoy being with a smaller community sometimes and while there's some people that are a bit much than others, but I think it's not a very hard community to blend into if you have your own opinions.
