FRIDAY APRIL 17TH, 7:30 PM PACIFIC TIME. Lordaeron server, channel "gamesaregood"

A few people said playing Warcraft 3 would be pretty cool, so let's do it. This isn't the shitposting challenge so there's no call-outs, just post in this thread if you're interested in participating or make some suggestions. 1v1 tournament with brackets? 4v4 all random with wacky rules? Some stupid loving custom map bullshit for baby retards who can't handle the complexity of an RTS? Prizes? Maybe avatars or something if Kewpuh is cool with it. If you're participating, suggest dates and times that work best for you.

What is Warcraft 3?

Check out the official trailer



Warcraft 3 is the epic tale of Arthas, the lich prince,





who falls in love with Jaina Blackmoore against all of the rules of lich society.





Eventually he becomes the lich king and sits on the frozen throne and the lich dad Sargeras tells him he has to stop dating Jaina





Can the heat of Jaina's love melt his frozen heart? Or will she be forced to FrostMourn him?











In the sequel, Warcraft III-II, the Lich King Arthas meets Illidan and his love for Jaina is tested even further as he's forced to grapple with feelings long supressed






But then Illidan and Arthas fight and this happens.





Finally, the lich king stops being made of ice and is made of fire instead, so he spends a lot of time looking at his hands and wondering why his throne doesn't melt

Not as part of the tournament but an FFA game with as many people as can fit would be fun in my opinion.

Someone remade Temple as a 12 player FFA map for some reason. I'm sure you could find that horrific thing somewhere.

i would participate but i can't risk ruining my computer, who knows what damage could occur installing a video game. i'm also extremely busy all the time, any possibly dates we set will probably conflict with my schedule. i might be able to get away with correspondence chess, as long as it's by mail, but again very busy.

I think 1v1 or 2v2 is best, by the way.

I like anything but 1v1 just because 1v1 is going to be very lopsided. I want to see someone legitimately good get paired up with 3 baddies and get totally hosed over and lose in the first round

3v3 is the biggest melee game size that's fun, if you do 4v4 with a good player + 3 scrubs it'll probably just be "hey retards get a firelord with lava spawn" or whatever. Cheese is fun/funny but it's better when it isn't everything i m o.

You're right that 1v1 would be too lopsided though, yeah.

This is still how low level SC2 2v2 and up ladders work a decade later, it's great. Some Stalkers? No, all of the them.

I have fond memories of hoovering up every gas mine I could get my hands on in 3v3 SC2 maps so I could mass Ravens and throw their AoE bombs en-mass into blobs of Void Rays back in the very early days of the game.

Then you fill their base with the little deployable turrets while your deployable point-defense drones prevent the Ravens from taking any AA fire.

well high level 3v3 strats are more like pick undead, get a dreadlord and 2 deathknights then swarm ghouls all over the other guys before they can do anything.


Undead was kinda OP.
