Is a casual player welcome to join? Yup, we love casual players! There are quite a few of us around who've just started playing War3 more regularly after a few years' break, so some of us are in the same spot as you. ^^; | ||

Sonkie and a player who played for mTw but I can't remember his name. :/ Neither really ever did anything big tho.Hey this is a random question but I never followed the war3 scene, but who was considered the best wc3 players from USA? Then there's also an american who got a WCG silver medal. But no one really followed the NA scene cos it was quite insignificant compared to the European and Asian ones so I guess you'd have to ask one of the SC2 NA pros who were "semi-pro" in wc3 (there is a suprising amount, Axslav for example) | ||

He played wc3 in the early days (his prime was 2004-2005 iirc). However, he never won anything big, loosing just to the world's absolute best at the time and finishing 2nd-4th in tournaments like WCG and one of WEGs (which was the last real big tournament of wc3 in korea). He was one of the reason the mass-dotts-strategy became so infamous when he defeated grubby in the semifinals of a WCG; I remember the game on tm where grubby was killing his heroes over and over again but still lost in the end. Grubby proceeded to rage in a forum about how imbalanced ne vs orc is (yet this was some time ago, so my memory might cheat me). Also he had one moment of genius when he was casting rejuvination on a sapper before running it into a number of spirit towers at a WEG. | ||

Found this like twoish weeks ago and promptly forgot to share it until now. This is Sky's youku channel, which includes him casting games played by others as well as him commentating his own games as he is playing and explaining his in-game thought process. (He talks really fast, for the record.) It's not so useful for those who can't understand Chinese, but if you can, it's a great resource for HU play. If not ... well, at least you get some FPVOD of Sky playing? | ||

You forgot Wizzard with his ugly lucky pants, he was really good and the best USA player besides Shortround imo. @mafe Well, what Shortround did was not only showing mass dotts, the biggest issue was that he showcased how fucking imbalanced Firelord+Panda were at that time, which was the main reason why he won those games and why NE won many games they never deserved to win. Especially drunken haze was so imba at that time. | ||

Especially drunken haze was so imba at that time. I never wanted to say shortround was just a one-trick-pony. I just mentioned this event because I think after these games against grubby every non-nightelf-player cried "imba" if he didn't do so before. If you can name a more memorable game/series of shortround than this or the bo5 against GoStop (iirc, the other match i was referring to), than go ahaed and make us happy, preferably with some vods. (the WCG-finals against Sky were just plain stupid, he simply got outclassed, end of story) | ||

Or maybe he just popularized it. | ||

From what I recall, I think Moon majorly popularized and reinvented the strategy, turning it into the variation that's seen today, which isn't the variation that was necessarily used years back. I just checked Wiki. Apparently mass dotts was actually initially invented by magicyang (Chinese NE). | ||
