Anyone seen this? Hahaha. I'm surprised they're even bothering.
@ Tchado: I'm a HU/UD player, but you have to admit, it's still painful to waste so many hours watching Infi turtle like he's trying to wait out Armageddon.
Was just about to post this here , I am so fucking excited about it , a bnet upgrade for Wc3 is so long over due , if wc3 bnet becomes as smooth as sc2 bnet , I think it might breath some life into the game on the casual level.
I agree man , Infi in turtle mode is painful to watch XD , but it fucking works and that's why he does it.
These 6v6 games on modified maps are really sick. Just the total lack of space and fewer creeps means a lot more constant fighting earlier on in the game; it fixes the 4v4 syndrome of maxed out army collisions (that is, when people don't die to rushes early-game). Total clusterfuck of action and obviously a different metagame...
I would be interested in playing. I am pretty much a complete noob and was trying to learn how play earlier this year (but couldn't really find many people to play with). Is there any sort of consensus on what server people are playing on?
Is there any particular reason people dont like the ICCUP WC3 server? When I tried playing a few games it seemed o so much better than either USWest or USEast.
With insomnia back, Creo back in the scene and XlorD goin fulltime I was reminiscing a little bit and rememberd a game from Moon I think on Turtle Rock, where he trapped a spawning Naga seawitch (I think) with two moonwells and a invisible archer at the tavern. I think it was also this game where he not only mass expanded (like always) but also build buildings like everywhere on the map, which was unheard of at the time. It was a game of a big tournament.
Anyone rembers that? I want to watch that game again :D Watched it with an audiocomment by khaldor and orcish, if I recall correctly.. Those were the times :D

god wow i remember the game where the trapped the neutral hero with the moonwells and the inv archer... i was watching it live through warrrrgh tv with a friend. omfg good times:D
Insomnia's really rusty though. (Watched him for a couple hours last ... Thursday? Whenever it was he started streaming. Haven't been able to catch him online since. When are his usual streaming hours?)
Kinda seems to me you're almost better off watching feRfe for better play, though ofc you don't get the nostalgic "omg insomnia!!!!" feel.
I'm probably going to buy WC 3 and TFT tomorrow and I just wanted to know a couple things. Does the game still have alot of players? Are there alot of hackers where all of you are playing? Is it as apm intensive as Broodwar? And is undead a good race to play (can it win at low levels)?

i remember something similar. It was done with cloak of shadows, an archer and a tree (wtf kind of map has a tree next to tavern?). Pretty sure it was moon too.
I wonder if Rotti or Moon will ever stream some WC3 games. It would be pretty fun to see him play and give some tips lol. I've seen Grubby stream some way back but haven't seen him online in a while
1. Yes, decent amount of players on ladder. If your ELL gets too high though, you might have a hard time finding games. Otherwise, go to Garena or use customs on BNet for games. 2. At high ELL, you will have hackers, probably 1/4 of the time. 3. No. (For context, at pro level, 260 APM is considered average.) 4. Yes. It is conceptually the easiest race to understand imo, and it works fine against HU and NE, but at higher levels, good Orcs can exploit its weaknesses very well. You won't need to worry about balance at lower levels though.
