The MooCup has a long tradition within the German and European WarCraft scene. With its 100th episode drawing near, we talked with Marsimoo, the man behind it, about the anniversary and other trifles surrounding his doings.

MooCup#100 is crowdfunded by Marsimoo and his community, Lioncast.com and sign-ups through ESL are still open. You can register via this link, where you also find all relevant information.
The cup will be held on October the 7th.
If you want to contribute some of your hard-earned money to the prize pool, feel free to do so on Matcherino.

Yesterday, Race War 2017 was announced, a tournament to determine which race is the best race in WarCraft 3! The teams, consisting of 3 players with the same race, will clash at eachother on three action-packed days fighting for a total prize pool of ~1750$  (¥11400).
Race War will be held as a 3 day tournament from the 6th to the 8th of October, 13:00 CEST and is actually sponsored by TeD and his fans! 
The english broadcast can be seen at Back2Warcraft's Twitch channel.

Yes, you read that right! Replayers.com is back!
With a new team, but still with the old and clean look that made the site a joy to the eyes. And with a new name as well! 

You can now find them over here: w3replayers.com

For now, you can only upload Reign Of Chaos replays to their database. Plans for a section related to The Frozen Throne do exist, but the website is still in its implementation phase. The team is adding new features over time in order to give the site a more user-friendly interface.

I used the opportunity to have a very brief talk with staff member HardCoreOne about the relaunch of the website.

We will celebrate the 15th birthday of WarCraft III this year and Blizzard, in one way or the other, is back at improving the game. Where many publishers would have just left their old game behind for good, Blizzard puts the fighting gloves back on and looks for revenge on their own contempt for a still popular (considering its age) and highly praised game. A true classic with an almost cult following. 

However the changes Blizzard is now working on will look like, the most major change happened on the 1st of July 2003. WarCraft III: The Frozen Throne succeeded the original WarCraft III: Reign Of Chaos.

In the screenshots above you see the game during its alpha/beta phase, mind the hero/unit interface, goldmine, lumber mill and the orc burrow. In the games alpha stages, burrows weren't able to pick up peons to shoot. Heroes were made in the main building and for undead, the abomination was a hero unit too.
