Go Grubby PS: Does anyone know what happened to Space? That might not be the right name, but there was a Korean UD player with some kind of degenerative muscle disorder, I think. I always had to root hard for that guy--even in War3, it is amazing to do as well as he did without being able to so much as use ctrl groups. | ||

Tough choices between Sky, Grubby and Lyn to take it. FoV's Orc weakness will probably be his downfall against the two best Orcs in the world. I had a blast watching War3 at Blizzcon (sorry, but the Lyn/Lucifron final was more intense [and longer] than the sAviOr/NaDa final). | ||

Although there have been more than a few wtf moments on Moon's part. If he can get past Lyn, I think he'll do well. Grubby is going to choke, quite honestly I think Lyn will take it if he's playing well as the humans on this board have been pretty inconsistent the last month. | ||

While the NE pretty much has to break upkeep straight away otherwise they cannot compete on equal food. Both had around 80 food when they fought, so it was equal in terms of army. Then HoT was in a poor position and his dryad got raped by the wagons. | ||

That really blows that they face each other in the group round. But at least there isn't any orc in the group. edit- actually what the fuck, those groups are fucked. There are human/elf in each group but double UD and double Orc. | ||

But at least there isn't any orc in the group. edit- actually what the fuck, those groups are fucked. There are human/elf in each group but double UD and double Orc. I really wonder whether or not that was intentional, as we all know that Undead players tend to have quite a bit of trouble with Orcs. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the organizers purposely made the groups this way in an attempt to improve the balance and variety of the tournament. If it wasn't intentional, it seems like a pretty odd coincidence, unless the groups were randomly drawn. Either way, it definitely works in TeD and FoV's favor for the obvious reason that you stated in your second sentence. I'd be willing to bet that they're both pretty happy that they don't have to tangle with Grubby or Lyn early on. If they get lucky, one of them may get eliminated (or both if they're really lucky), but I would personally be very surprised if Lyn at least didn't make it through the group stage. Seems like a pretty nice tournament over all, and it's definitely great to have two experienced players shoutcasting the event. In my opinion this is very very important, maybe even more so than in StarCraft (don't hold me to that ), simply because so many important aspects of the game are subtle and not visible to the average player. Experienced players like ToD and Rotterdam are able to bring these subtleties to the attention of the viewers and hopefully enable them to appreciate the game more and possibly even learn something new. It would be nice if more tournaments had experienced players help with the shoutcasting. | ||

I mean, sure, companies like Bacchus and Batoo are probably well-known companies in South Korea. However, compare that to some of the past sponsors (Panasonic, Olympus, Gillette, Snickers, Pringles...) and they pale in comparison. EDIT: Anyway, this is the first time I can get to see WarCraft III with professional commentary. As such, I am going to see it once the Live block is removed. | ||

The heroes all have a few abilities or some sort of aura that strengthens their own units and most units from Tier 2 and up have at least 1 ability. They explain a lot in the commentary though and talk about whats typical and what is surprising, definitely listen closely if you are having trouble figuring out whats going on. | ||

Last night's matches were both pretty interesting. They were definitely upsets from what I had expected, and they changed around my predictions for the group a bit. + Show Spoiler + Sky can no longer advance no matter what, and FoV automatically advances. Now the winner of TeD vs Hot moves on, while Sky vs FoV is more or less just for honor. I was kinda expecting Hot to be the one that gets eliminated right away, and TeD to be the sure bet to move on. I'd still place my money on TeD beating Hot though. Not as excited about Grubby vs Lyn tomorrow, but I think Moon vs Infi should be really entertaining if both players are performing well. | ||

Of the two broadcasters, who's the "main" commentator and who's the "color" commentator? I just want to say that as a Starcraft fan who doesn't have a strong interest in WC3, it's been very entertaining to watch especially with two knowledgeable broadcasters. They're knowledge in WC3 is so ridiculously detailed that it's hard to follow, but their passion for the game makes the broadcast so fun to watch. | ||

The commentators are in S.Korea, in the GOM Studio, right? 2. Group stage is almost through, so favorites are obviously those who are qualified already. From FoV and TeD in gr 1, I would see TeD as the more promising, as he has an absolutely *sick* Undead vs. Orc matchup (usually that is the one most blamed for imbalance). So my overall favourite would be TeD. 3. I'd say ToD is the main commentator and Rotterdam not really "colour", but more or less "sidekick", as he is the younger player and by far less successful in his career. | ||

I'd not agree with TeD because while his UDvORC is very strong he seems to struggle against Grubby in my experience, but I may be out of touch. | ||

But, I think it was more about racial/country balance and they wanted the 2 most famous EU players. TH wasn't playing that well when the invites were sent out too.

All the S.Korean players are in SKorea obviously, but not in the studio. The casters are in the studio, ToD lives in Korea now and Rotter is over there for the cast. 2. I would say Grubby, he's looking really good online recently and he's the only orc left. (xD) 3. ToD. But I noticed Rotter was doing a lot of the casting yesterday. Yer, I was thinking while watching that I thought the casting might have been quite hard to follow for people who haven't played much WC3. But from feedback I guess that's what people want to see. TeD's Orc VS UD is very good, and plus he's always coming up with the new things in a lot of UD matchups. But, I would still say the orc is gonna be the favourite. | ||

Also, I would say the commentators ToD and RotterdaM are equal, as they both contribute a lot to the calling, discussion and humour, however ToD has cast a GOM tourney before as well as been living in Korea for a while and so has the experience under his belt. | ||

But he's not here I remember 1 game where the commentators were really excited. Th000 vs FoV on Turtle Rock, forgot when. Basically during the final clash Th000 ran his low hp hero around and evaded several coils which would kill, with Paladin shield (forgot the name) and the super Staff of Sanctuary passing, which is not as easy as it looks since your heroes need to be close by. They were screaming BI NAN!! BI NAN YA!! Staff of Sanctuary is literally translated into "evade disaster" Of course it is never comparable to SC screaming. But that was memorable for me. I remembered that ToD was kinda famous for being emo. If you think Orc is imba, why not just change to orc? i never get these WC3 people. As for me, switched whenever i think another race is better and i usually end up realising it's all balanced How did Moon make human heroes? | ||

Orc mirror isn't particularly great to play and besides what fun is it changing race anyway? Moon made a Dark Ranger, whose ultimate allows you to take control of a opponents unit.

No, like I said before, there is no reliable counter to the RNG, BM's crits are stupid as hell+the wide damage range on him makes it hard for you to properly react especially if it occurs at bad times in a team fight. The Orc player can just let the BM loose on whatever hero for a few seconds coming out of Windwalk, micro his troops, and then respond accordingly, add in whatever the t2 hero is, TC/SH, and the spiritwalkers, its stupid easy to score a quick kill on any unit if you are lucky enough. The only thing that other players playing against the Orc have is that they know what strategy is coming, its literally the same shit (unit composition) for almost all MUs. But all of that means shit when the BM crits your hero twice (on the upper end of his damage range + backstab damage) and force a TP despite you having the better positioning. And ToD's been on the receiving end of that bad luck one too many times. | ||

Because there isn't one to gain. I've been playing for 3 years, though just casually. Though i am not really good, but i definitely think I do know more than you, if you seriously think that ORC is imba. Classic UD have Coil + Nova - a huge nuke, which can finish off Heroes at about 1/3 hp (generalizing). Classic Human vs Orc style if they use AM + Beastmaster have insane amounts of summons which they usually use for tower rushing, or a 5 second stun from MK (but of course the stun can be evaded by the BM's ww) Classic NE VS ORC uses DH + Beastmaster. Dh burns the mana from and TC or SH and tanks and fights equally well with the BM and the naga slows stuff Moreover, NE and HU have Staff, which can instantly save units. Tell me it's not balanced now. But by classic, i mean the way it was usually played some time ago Oh ya. Thanks, i forgot about charm .. i have only seen charm used on bigger units and i totally forgot about it. | ||

it used to be a pretty favorable undead matchup before the batrider/destro changes, but since then its been downhill for sure. as far as orc vs ne or orc vs hu, i think most people would tell you they are about even today, and mostly dependent on the maps they are played on. ted is one of the few undeads in the world that can beat orcs with his incredible timing and micro, but against lyn or grubby i would still call him an underdog, especially if its bo5. | ||

They were the only race that could keep up with NE during the NE reign for a reason. In general though it's not really the Orc itself that's imbalanced, it's the damn blademaster. The blademaster just can be too powerful during times of RNG and completely obliterate an enemy hero and force you to TP out of situation you sure as hell should have won. Then if you're UD you should just quit versus Orc anyway | ||

Since I enjoy watching warcraft and also played a bit to the extend that I know the units specifics and tech trees, however I cannot asses the imbalances so much, so can someone explain to me why Undeads are considered so much at disadvantage against Orcs? I mean undeads have good ground units as spiders&abominations, they can fight at the air with gargs and wirms/destroyers, their heroes are as good as versus any other race's heroes (they can coil/nova) , blademaster creeps them as much as he does any other heroes, so I cannot understand what makes them so behind? | ||

Of course UD players still win, they are some very skilled UDs (TeD and FoV) out there. Hopefully, TeD can keep up his form VS Orc after he beat Fly 2:0 in IEF and start winning some tournaments since they have good matchups vs elf and Hu.

For a number of reasons. Firstly, the BM can easily harass and get the DK low on hp or mana and simply salve back up whereas the UD has no tier 1 healing. Then later on BM with orb is strong, as is chain heal on the SH and TC level 3/5 stomp is insane. Aboms aren't worth it, they just get eaten by kodos frankly. Fiends are good, but if the UD hasn't got frost armour. Air is countered by BMOrb + Troll beserkers or by bats. My post now sounds like there's nothing UD can do. >_> But, UDs can dooo stuff. Frost armour and nuke is powerful. /confusing imbalance post | ||

People used to be able to take games off the former overpowered NE but that didn't take away from the fact that NE was overpowered. Most if not all pros agree that Orc is UD's worst matchup and it's the worst stilted matchup in the entire game for a reason. | ||

Thanks, i forgot about charm .. i have only seen charm used on bigger units and i totally forgot about it. You are missing my point, you can predict and play against Staff, you can play against activated spells, you can play against buffs and units. You can't consistently play against the randomness of crit. All those instances you listed? You can plan against, you can play accordingly. My point isn't Orc is imba, its that if the Blademaster lands chain crits, the fight shifts in the Orc's favor very very quickly, its not like the Orc player pulled some super micro. Name another skill or hero in the game at levels 2-4 that can constantly pose a major offensive threat with requiring only the most basic skills as a War3 player at no cost to the hero. Right now Orc is imba because even if you plan right, play right, it means shit if the BM gets lucky, that's the problem, when ToD rages at the BM he literally means just the BM, and its just not ToD that recognizes the problem with BM, almost ever pro War3 player will say something about the BM, alot of them were surprised when 1.23 came out and no BM nerfs, Orc players included. So again, you're misunderstanding the gripe of the players, the unpredictability of the BM makes it annoying and it's highlighted in Orc mirrors where it literally boils down to who gets more crits at certain moments. The Orc race is fine, the BM is the problem. And your original question is up to the player, I mean you can ask why Yellow never switched races (or even playstyles for that matter) after finishing second every time. | ||

Here is why they are: Scroll of Speed Ensnare Spirit Link Healing Wave Orb of Lightning (not used too much because they don't need it to be insanely imba, but some recent orcs have been using it) Items benefitting the Blademaster (claws, gloves, circlet, agility) Now these aren't imba by themselves, but when you combine them with a Blademaster as first hero it is just total destruction. Blademaster is a scout, harasser, creep jacker, and a main damage dealer in an army. How does that even work? One hero performs all the functions of a full set of units for any other race. And he can buy healing salves and just heal himself up at any point should he take some damage and come right back to be a pest. Something needs to be done about it, but I don't think it will. | ||

Though i haven't been playing since after the new patch. I know that's when the other races are nerfed, besides orc. That was when Human turtles and NE prevailed i think. Ok, maybe things that i'm not aware of have changed since then. Still, i know orcs don't go BM everytime, sometimes they go FS. There has to be a reason. This is coming from someone who changed from Human to UD to Orc except NE throughout a few years. I changed to Orc after the new patch, i admit :D | ||

But it rarely works out that well since those maps usually includes a merc camp with trolls, and good building placement+1 Arcane stomps any base harass. Basically you get better tier 1 pressure and if you don't get it then the HU gets to T2 caster and just rapes your army with a now useless hero in FS. | ||

You've listed a bunch of specific unit/micro examples, but the point is that nothing is dangerous by itself. The idea is that certain things are blocked or controlled by the entire game flow. The problem is that there are a number of situations where BM becomes too dominant with no gameplay counter. His power early game doesn't diminish late game - so any advantage that he rolls early on is going to be compounded mid and late game. Again, this is not an issue in itself, but combined with how the matchups and maps play out, it becomes a large issue. | ||

source: http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/23182-Wotlk_uses_Warcraft_3_codes_for_item_drop_rate i wouldnt call the blademaster imba, but the reason why hes such a dangerous hero is because of how he influences game flow. it is very easy for orc to gain an advantage in the early game, whether through creep jacks or just pressure in general. because of raiders, shadow hunter, and link, orc essentially controls the map until an undead hits tier 3. little advantages he got in the early game will translate big in the mid game, and it compounds from there. to answer another person's question about why you see people going FS at times, there are a few reasons: 1. you are against human, and you expect a tower rush (turtle rock especially). later in the game hu also have slow which dampens a lot of what the bm can do 2. you are playing on a map which bm doesnt creep well (twisted basically, though its also true on some lesser played maps like road to stratholme). that being said, a lot of times it comes down to personal preference. i see the grubster going fs more than other orcs in general. also, an interesting note, rotterdam is pretty famous for having an exclusive love affair with the far seer, so drop him a comment on their next cast and he can probably give you more insight than me, a lowly undead player | ||

The problem with that system is that it doesn't deteriorate (at least based on the article) and I don't know if giving some controlling factor to the BM's crit is a good thing especially at level 3. | ||

Grubby won the second game. The base raid totally fucked FoV over losing his main by not having a TP :S hopefully FoV wins the next game because I really like this series. Two former 4Kings playing against each other I want the maximum amount of games possible. I fucking already missed Moon vs. TeD and that sucks buttfuckidifuck, because I really wanted to watch that.

It's like still using Lost Temple in tournaments today. Is it just really difficult to make a balanced War3 map? Depending on the league and tournament, some maps are still used and some aren't. LoTemp was taken out in general. Echo and TR are still somewhat used. Melting Valley is an interesting new map that HUs have a terrible time on. And yes, it is somewhat hard to make a balanced War3 map (it is in SC/BW too, it's just there's a bigger motivation with the Korean e-sports scene), namely because there are more factors involved for the dynamics of a regular War3 game that isn't relevant in SC/BW. The neutral creeps, neutral shops/taverns and the heroes, especially the first 2 can and does determine the win/loss-ratio on a lot of maps and complicate the making of the map. And there are no really balanced maps at the high levels, I think the closest you get is Echo Isles based on the various replays I have watched, the games on there are typically close and winnable for either player. | ||

Moon is called the 5th race btw because he does (or use to do) craaZy strategies and Grubby could never figure out what Moon would do in the next game. I dont know who I want to win 3rd. EDIT: Also I hate BM so much. BM and exp tomes are mostly the reason why I stopped playing wc3. | ||

However, Moon seems to have respect from most of the Starcraft guys so I doubt that it is a "skilless" game. It's great that there are english commentators for this, if there weren't I doubt I'd be watching. | ||

Oh in team fights, pay especially attention to heroes and positioning, for example Grubby's 2nd game against Infi, Grubby won because he decided to focus fire the MK instead of trying to pick units off, Infi stuck his MK out a little too far and got caught. | ||

Australia5540 Posts
Yeah I have no idea either, I kind of ignore WCG seeing there is no StarCraft (although following GLaDe in the wc3 is always entertaining as he pulls out some sweet games and sick upsets :D). The website is even more dead than teamaus but I do recall seeing something about everything being postponed as the funding from a sponsor was pulled. No idea why they can't get SC back in Aus and just use Online qualifiers - look at the Aus tourney 16 players without much organising on my or iCCup's behalf and that was on a weekend where people had work and things planned with 1 week notice. | ||

I think SC2 should be fine, because not only will the SC and WC3 communities (which were strong for Aus at times with Leg, GLaDe, PhilBoT, etc.) come together but internet will hopefully be getting better, latency problems alleviated and the huge dota communities might be interested | ||

It's only really done early game because in bigger fights it's not worth trying to do it. Better to micro units back then/save them if you can. | ||

Grubby wins 3-1 Last game was pretty good I thought. TeD had a timing window and did some damage but in the end Grubbys faster 2nd hero and higher hero levels were too much. TeD GGs just as the Blademaster hits level 6 :p I guess he didn't fancy watching all his units get rinsed. | ||

oh yeah, you can watch the VODs of the final even if you don't have premium, probably because they had live streaming problems. Also they said they were gonna do this little talk show thing with SC2 possibly, anyone know where it is? | ||
