wc3l xiii only taking 12 qualifier teams for a 16-team bracket as opposed to 32. disappointing decision, but i think the final result will be the same.

wnv drops recall, soccer and joyluck. rumors that it’s to make room for todonte who recently left the four-kings :O.

reign isn’t going to attend wc3l finals.. according to replays.net he canceled his flight thinking that the chinese players would not be able to get a visa…………………..

So me and flame and myself have been working on a site, demon hunter replays, and it’s “presentable” now although still in the early stages.

The idea is to list replays from all sites on one page, so you don’t have to check like six sites, or don’t have to wait for some chinese page to load (e.g. replays.net) just to see that there are no replays that interest you.

We’re going to add like, league sites as well. A lot of league replays don’t receive a lot of views cause no one looks at them, not because the replays are necessarily bad.

Yeah, no domain name yet. I don’t feel like getting a $60 domain name for something that’s not done ^_^.

So I’ve been getting this a bit especially lately.. people asking me “how do I get better,” so here’s basically what I would suggest doing.

1. Watch a lot of replays of the best players, and ONLY the best players. Pick the top two players of your race and get all of their replays and don’t watch anyone else.

2. Copy what the pros do. Just mass ladder so you can adapt to different kinds of playstyles and situations. When you lose, figure out how you lost and work on not making the same mistake. When you have something specific you want to work on is when it’s useful to find a practice partner.

Continuously losing the exact same way over and over again is the biggest way to waste a lot of time. Try something a few times and if it still doesn’t work, change it. “Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.” You have to play smarter, not harder.

More on watching replays: Excluding the replays I watch for entertainment, I would say I watch half of the replays more than once. The first time I watch a replay I will usually have it around 4-6x speed. What I try to do is first get an overall idea of the game and decide if it’s worth studying. Make mental notes of any parts you’ll want to slow down at and pay attention to. The second time through I’ll have the speed down to 1-3x and maybe 1/2x during battles. I’ve occasionally turned off fog of war and watched from a players point of view, although I haven’t found this very beneficial.

Yeah, if you follow this I guarantee you’ll see improvement. Just DON’T COPY 2ND-RATE PLAYERS even if they’re still pros; this slows you down so much.

So.. I feel obligated to write something actually game-related.

Yeah this is pretty basic, but anyway. I usually either sell this item (sells for 200 gold) or try to use it on non-hero units. It’s not so great used on enemy heroes.. you don’t really get that much mana but on units it’s really good. E.g., using it on your opponent’s Troll Priest in mirror is good.

And yeah, this item has such an ugly name.

By the way, lightnig shield on quilbeast looks so awesome.

both vs chase, elf on tm and hu on ts

oh yeah, i beat mym]eve but it was just tower abuse so i wont post :p and it’s not really something to be so proud of anyway!

can’t win anything

but it’s prob just cause of all the other shit asdf;lkasdf;lkj

first thing i’d do is make a new armor for them

kind of like elune’s grace for archer… an armor that reduces maybe magic + piercing (but not as much as fortified)but does not reduce or take extra damage from normal. take extra damage from siege still

some stuff is coming up soon :O

with elf of course ^_^
