Spoiler:
Over 15 years since the release of Reign of Chaos, Warcraft III has a new major patch coming and your favorite players are throwing the first Warcraft III Invitational to celebrate it!

Hosted by casters Neo and Remo of Back2Warcraft, join us on February 27 and February 28 on Twitch for a slew of special events, including Free-for-All, 4v4’s, and other friendly competitions. Well-known Warcraft III competitors from around the world will be getting together live at Blizzard HQ to showcase their talents in friendly competition!

We love and continue to support our Warcraft III community, and we’re excited to see classic competitors like Manuel “Grubby” Schenkhuizen, Park “Lyn” Joon, and Kim “ReMinD” Sung Sik try out all the new PTR changes for themselves—including balance adjustments to many heroes, widescreen support, and more – all playable now on the PTR!

Be sure to tune in for your own sneak peek and check out our PTR patch notes for more information.

I was never into the competitive scene in WC3 (I guess that's a bit obvious, since I ended up here, editing custom maps), but the fact that this is being hosted and that Blizzard is making a major patch is pretty exciting. I'm hoping for a remaster, I'd love to play through again at a higher resolution with better models. I tried replaying the campaign two years ago and was like wow, I forgot how big everything is...

Yea man, this is BIG
24 player support, people might think "lagfest"

HOWEVER, apparently they upgraded the WC3 Engine too

The normal cutscenes didn't age all too great, either...

I actually watched that invitational. The strategies in ladder matches haven't changed much at all still.

To be completely honest, I'm still surprised people still play it - and enough people to warrant a size increase in player counts at that!
