Didn't he also start adding Banshees vs Orc later?
Banshees are so good vs Orc, curse and AMS wrecks half their damage.

Wish TL had a liking feature so I could hit up this post. Philbot was the man. That would be the "Gift TL+" button

Good old Philbot with the 2-2 upgrades fiends. Is he still around in the Aussie esports scene?

Yeah, the problem is still being able to aggressively creep and prevent expansions while doing so. If you are still getting statues, which you are, you are losing those resources elsewhere. It is very difficult to get this supreme banshee army without being chipped away at through creep jacks or just being very outleveled. Or they just grab an expansion.

I don't think so. He hasn't popped up in SC, LoL or DotA which would be the obvious transition. Moonglade is the only Aussie WC3 player who did anything post WC3 to my knowledge.

Awesome article, humans really do have it hard nowadays.

Holy shit that is by far the most interesting statistic article about gaming I've ever read. It would be interesting to see similar one being made about sc2.

Zacard had a longer win streak on EU, didn't he?

I don't recall Tak3r having a longer streak, but there is also the distinction between the two match making systems.
As I remember, it was a case where there was really no one on EU who had a remotely favorable chance of being Zacard and it was just Zacard living in Germany for a bit for...WC3L?
Man I miss the WC3L days. At least I think that's what it was called. That amazing clan league. Such great matches.
edit:
Do we have anyone around here playing on NetEase? I liked the idea of playing on a more developed server than W3A, but my ping was bad. I was considering using VPN to try to get a more direct connection and I'm wondering if anyone has done anything similar.
I also lost my netease installation because I had to reinstall windows. Anyone got a guide to get setup on that?

WC3L was really amazing. I can't believe SC2 never had a comparable league given how big it was. I took for granted how awesome those team battles were. I'm trying to make a similar format happen in my current game (Melee) sometime in the future.

Has there been any effort to make a giant torrent of WC3L similar to proleague? If not, someone should.

yo neo , just wanted to tell you i really enjoy your casts! have not watched this much warcraft 3 since gamesports and norton antivirus invitational <3

thanks so much! i grew up with gamesports, khaldor, orc1sh, slash, reaper and all the others so its a big praise for me

@Mohdoo
I think a ping accelerator might help you with your adventures on Netease. I have tried some of them and they helped a bit even though I tends to be unstable during peak times on Netease.
I would although say that I prefer W3Arena way more, since it actually has a widescreen option. (that isnt strecthed.)
