I missed nearly all the games, sadly. But I want to watch them and listen to the B2W cast! | ||

At the moment, you can use Azubus VOD system to get acces to the VODs. When B2W is back in Europe and they can use Youtube again, check out their youtube channel. They will upload all VODs there as soon as possbile. Also I bet that they will make a Rebroadcast/VOD cast on their Twitch-Channel at some point. | ||

It really, really looks just terrible. Bad 3D is just so hard to appreciate these days, everything looks kinda the same :/ I know this probably won't be an issue for anyone who knows the game in and out, but i had a hard time getting into it aesthetically. Other than that i enjoyed the gameplay though, it was pretty exciting (i catched the game where yAwS did some kind of tower rush in the finals). The stream quality was pretty bad for me though so i only saw that one game, personally i would like a remake of it to have an easier time watching it :D | ||

Bad 3D graphics just don't age that well imo. I can watch BW no problem for example, but i had a hard time watching Wc3 in the end because of the aesthetics. Not knowing anything (how the units look and what they do, etc) doens't really help obviously :D Still, i kinda liked that one game i catched. It looked intense and the casting did its job rather well too. | ||

Same goes for other old games, I keep playing, like Star Wars Knights of the old Republik. I am just used to the graphic and thus do not bother about it. | ||

Is there an easy way to get some idea about wc3? Like a day9 noobie video series or anything like that? Is there even more wc3 to watch? | ||

Grubbys Warcraft commentary on his youtube channel, there he comments his games. You learn EVERYTHING about the orc race, when you watch them and alot about other races and all the other stuff, like items, creeps and so on. | ||

Hm i think sc2 is fine tbh. I just really dislike the very obvious technical limitations in old 3D graphics (lack of polygons as an example) Wc3 also seems too colorful to me tbh haha. But yeah this is really just a problem for me because i didn't really play wc3 back then i guess. I didn't play bw either though and i think it looks pretty 'good'. But as i said 2D imo doesn't age as badly as 3D, i think that is fair to say?! Will there be another wc3 tournament in the near time which is casted in english? If not i will just watch some vods i guess^^ | ||

Specifically tailored towards you. I even asked myself thrice whether to post it but you definitely warranted it. /edit: On December 21 2015 02:25 The_Red_Viper wrote: I am sure i did.

The stream quality was pretty bad for me though so i only saw that one game, personally i would like a remake of it to have an easier time watching it :D 1. You say the graphics look terrible, despite shortly afterwards stating that the stream quality is "pretty bad". How are you, then, able to make such an assessment? 2. Everything looks the same? Next time play the actual game or watch at a proper quality to see the differences in unit size, the colour differences and what each unit does. The game is way more distinguishable than other RTS games. 3. "I know this probably won't be an issue for anyone who knows the game in and out..." - and probably for no one else that watches the game in a proper quality...and more than just one game. This is (and the following) the worst part since it comes after talking trash (without good reason), only to placate the readers. | ||

If not i will just watch some vods i guess^^ The next offline event will be the finals of the Netease ladder contest in china. I dont think there will be a english cast for it. Maybe restreamers who comment what they see. The next offline event with english commentary is mostlikely WCA 2016 (when they stay alive). Other then that, maybe Afreeca or Twitch.kr will do something, as both did some online tournaments this year. With Moon coming back to Warcraft, nothing seems to be impossible. Other than that, it will need some arabian billionare to sponsor a offline event to have more then WCA next year. Onlinecups are hold in Europe every saturday and sunday with the GoldenCup and the Gera Cup. I think they will not be hold during holiday. Follow Back2Warcraft on Twitter or Facebook to be aware of all their casts. | ||
