A complete wc3 noob question:
Isn't it possible to go for a economic build instead of 1 base? Like, fast expo into 90 food army of 3/3 taurens and catapults? I've never seen such a game and I always wondered why

is it possible to fast expand and build an army of 3/3 thors?

jsut think of WC3 as PvP before the patch

Calling War3 PvP is such an insult. Please don't say that again. =__=

It is so much more complicated than that.

because you will die if you try that against a good player, he will see what you're doing and kill you.

lol what the heck is up with you people? WCG STARTS WITH A GROUP STAGE, THEN ENDS WITH A BRACKET.

Learn the most basic rules (such as FORMAT) before you start complaining about bo1 and shit.

WCG already has created such awesome games. Can't believe how exciting it's been so far. Even with very low production value, and with Ongamenet doing the streaming (which means relatively low quality, brood war looking stream quality), this is extremely enjoyable.

A few hours in and already I think this is yet again another great tournament done by WCG.


Are you a time traveler from 2003?

Yes, I'm a SC2 enthusiast from 2003. I must be the smartest, most advanced, and coolest person in the universe to not only understand how to read a thread, not only how to watch games, NOT ONLY how and why WCG is being played out the way it is, but also to magically time travel.
Thank you for the compliment.

But from the looks of it, you're stuck in 2003, whereas people with analytical skills are watching with me here in 2011.


I was referring to you thinking this is good enough quality video for a major tournament when it's the same video quality we were getting during WCG2003. And before you say beggars can't be choosers, I'd gladly pay for a good stream rather than an ad-assisted shit stream

You're spoiled by the extremely high quality of modern day sc2 streams... People with a lot of money can afford to have really good streams.
Even disregarding that though, you do realize that SC:BW streams look like this even now in 2011 right? Yes, I am very very certain that this is "good enough" video quality for a major tournament.

WCG has become huge, and is regarded as huge today because of the amazing games they have been able to host over the years, not because they had tons of money or cutting edge technology. WCG is awesome today, because of the amazing games they are hosting, not because they have tons of money or cutting edge technology.


Money is certainly not the reason for the horrible looking main stage stream. The side stage stream looks amazing.

Humans can fast expand quite easily with militia... It was very common many years ago when I followed wc3, don't know about now :p

However, you can't really sit and defend. You need to be able to go out on the map and farm the neutral units. If you don't build an army you'll never have any map control and you'll get out farmed.
The truth is, Yagami-kun, I suspect that you may in fact be Kira.

WCIII doesn't really work that way.


true, if you do that, you lose mapcontrol. means, the opponent will have 5-5 heros and expand then, the game is pretty much over from that point

So, what is considered the most "OP" unit in WC3? I remember the necromancer being really strong, gryphons, frost wyrm.

Blademaster

It used to be DH, but yeah BM has been all the rage for a while.


Okay, so it seems pratically everyone agrees it is blademaster. Makes sense, when I used to play WC3 that unit annoyed me the most.

Best undead hero?

because at 50 food or below u mine the most efficiently, 10 per pop. at 70+, u only mine 4 per pop while 10 gets taken away from ur mine so ur mining even slower than 1base

To be fair, when playing against Orc, you lose map control the moment his BM gets out of the altar.

I think you mean WCG became huge, it hasn't been an amazing tournament for a very long time and their inability to actually bring us the tournament in a reasonable broadcast only compounds this. Take off the rose-tinted glasses mate. WCG is a dying dinosaur of a tournament

WCG is awesome today, because of the amazing games they are hosting, not because they have tons of money or cutting edge technology.

BW stream still looks like this because the aspect ratio and res on the game itself means it looks good even on this stream quality. Modern games don't. Which is also why WC3 looks better than SC2 on these streams

I like the production and everything, but you have to face reality, for such a huge tournament, WCG's technology is pretty ancient.
