I imagine Grubby will have fun doing hit and run base snipes with marauders like he did with raiders. ToD is protoss too yes? I saw him played DeMuslim the other day. 4K fighting!! | ||

So dont whine with the Orc race, the only Orc with balls out there was Rotterdam (no blademaster) and Dayfly / Farseer oh you.. | ||

I'm looking at patch notes 1.23, 1.24, 1.22... none of them seem to be biased in favour of orc? I just see random little buffs to other races and orcs not being touched. Was there any defining recent patch change that make orc dramatically stronger? If so what was it? I'm genuinely curious. And yeh I remember when night elf was the thing, fuck archers and fuck demon hunters (the evasion was bullshit and I never liked the % based dodge chance). | ||

Orc was in a terrible situation vs both Human and Night Elf in the time around the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008, and it was all due to the meta-game. Mass DoTs were just then adapted as a main strategy and all nightelfs switched to that instead of going for bears, while still no Orc had a clue of how powerful the blademaster could be with proper item use. The shop was barely used for anything except healing scrolls or dust. Teleporting staff was more common for nightelf, since they all pushed with BM + DH + 1 archer when the orc reached T2, in order to destroy the bestiaries and the caster huts (don't remember the name). Winning vs nightelf seemed to be a matter of how well or bad your opponent used his DoT's whirlwind on your army. It was essentially out of the orcs hands, since nobody thought of abusing the BMs power with invincibility potions and items. Orcs were mostly crushed at that time by the Human delayed T2 push with quick towers and lots of workers. It was kinda like the SCV all-in vs Zerg thats around right now, except as Orc your entire army was slowed and the "terran" brought 3 simultaniously building bunkers with him, one which burned away your heros and units mana. Oh and yeah the "SCVs" were pretty damn powerful too So Orcs whined, and rightfully so. It all changed around the mid of 2008 though, when some player (don't remember if it was Grubby) came to the idea of buying the +2+2+2 circlet from the item shop right when the blademaster popped out. That basic idea seemed to change everything, since the BM was then starting to annihilate everything with it's highly item-focused play. I'm unsure of how the situation is today, since I've been completely inactive from the WC3 seen since sometime around the SC2 Beta. | ||

It is quite apparent that a lot of people in here have no clue about wc3. Grubby was always known for his long games. The longer a game went on, the more likely it was that he would win. His game sense, decision making, and macro was superb. Good luck to grubby^^. I had a feeling that he would go protoss. It seems to be the race that translates best for an orc player. Expensive units with lots of HP, etc. Grubby and Lyn were always my favorite players in wc3. Now that Grubby is switching fully, I can only hope that Lyn drops WC3 and goes with SC2 full time.
