Warcraft 3 eSports Are Back!

[StoPCampinGn00b]

They've never really completely gone, but recently, competitive and professional melee Warcraft 3 activity has been gaining traction at record speeds since the golden days. Our partner at Back2Warcraft has been doing great things and have even given us shout outs in their live streams & support from their social media. So, check out what's been cracking in the competitive scene, fellow Hive members!

Coming Up!
WCA American Qualifier
The WCA American Qualifier aims to recapture the WC3 / Blizzard game eSports magic in the Americas. It was just officially announced yesterday, and the sign up deadline is on the 27th of October.
Will be casted & live-streamed by:
twitch.tv/Back2Warcraft in English

Recently Concluded!
Ting Warcraft Invitational
It was of the biggest Warcraft 3 tournaments that has ever been organized this late into the game's years. It raised over $7,300 from the WC3 community and sponsors.
TH000 wins the Ting Warcraft Invitational 5-1 vs 120, he earns himself $3,685 while 120 pockets $2,211.
It was casted and live-streamed by:
twitch.tv/ESL_WC3 in English
twitch.tv/Back2Warcraft in German
twitch.tv/OgamingSC2 in French

Others
Panda TV Invitational (WC3 Faith Cup)
An ongoing cup featuring Asian-International pros across the board.
Casted & live-streamed by:
twitch.tv/Back2Warcraft in English

Various community tournaments:
Gera Cups - Gera Cup #81
Community MooCups - MooCup #56
W3arena tournaments

Some of these are also streamed in Chinese, Russian, Korean, or other languages in other platforms like Panda.tv.​

While Hive hasn't had a big eSports community, some may remember the old 'Melee Nation' Hive group and the old 'Melee Combat' subforum. There are also many melee map makers constantly providing maps throughout the years. Anyhow, we're happy to bring the melee spirit back to Hive.

By sharing this, we are also showing how the other parts of the WC3 community are putting in their dedication in present day just as much as some of the most dedicated WC3 modders & artists. Expect more big Warcraft 3 coverage in the future, and next time it may just include big news for the modding scene.

good stuff SCN

i'd recommend all to give competitive wc3 a try, even if that means just watching tournament VODs. some amazing games were had.
was disappointed with 120's performance in the ting finale tho.

Thanks, and thanks people who gave a lot of rep for this.

I often miss out because of time when it's live during work / schooldays. So yeah, watching the replays is great.

Wait, aren't you also on the west coast USA? Waking up early to watch, eh? ^^

You shouldn't have linked to any Russian sites. Warcraft has a wiki with all the info about tournaments.
