[s]rated_replay[/s]

If you followed our StarCraft section you might have recognized our Recommend Replays we present you in regular intervals of several weeks. With this newspost we will initiate Recommend Replays for the WarCraft section as well. Enjoy the first one presenting hoorai vs. SK from the recent WC3L playday.



Our Recommend Replays at the StarCraft section are usually well accepted due to the in-depth report and attractive in-game screenshots. We try to depicture the happenings of the game as detailed as possible without revealing the result too early. These are our purposes when adding a new Recommend Replay, pictures and report included. Let us skip the prelude and skip right inside the action.

This RR has been played between Russia SK.Deadman / Ukraine SK.HoT (SK.Novopashyn) and Brazil hoorai.PaTo / United States hoorai.nilk during the recent WC3L playday at Turtle Rock. If you are looking for our detailed newspost about SK vs. hoorai, I recommend you this newspost written by Sweden Raistlin.

SK opens the game with the Demon Hunter and early tier2 tech for SK.HoT and Priestess of the Moon with dual AoW huntresses for SK.Deadman. hoorai starts with Archmage for nilk and Demon Hunter for PaTo, both with early tier2 tech as well. SK seems to be victorious in the first battle due to Deadman's many huntresses, hoorai is forced to use their TP's. Both HoT and PaTo choose Naga as their second hero, nilk adds the Mountain King to his army, but loses him just a few seconds after his birth in the next fight. Around eight huntresses of Deadman with 1-1 upgrade deal serious damage to the Dryads of PaTo, a well timed Chain-lightning of HoT's Naga kills the Demon Hunter (lvl3) of PaTo shortly afterwards and his Naga has to die seconds later as well. Nevertheless nilk manages to kill all of Deadman's units and SK is forced to back away from the fight, just to regroup two minutes later and start an impressive battle again with mass Archers and Dryads with the support of Trueshot Aura lvl 2.

The end of the battle is quite even, both teams are able to keep their upkeep on a decent level, nilk's Water Elemental are on lvl3 already, his Riflemen have first attack upgrade and PaTo's Dryads are strengthen with 2-1 upgrades already. But they are in need of this, because SK derives benefit from Trueshot Aura lvl3 and Scroll of the beast, a massive addition to the base damage of their Archers and Dryads. Nevertheless hoorai manages to stave the attack off and chases the remaining units of Deadman straight to his base. Things are going well for hoorai, Deadman lacks of units with only 23 supply, but nilk loses his Archmage lvl5 first, only a few seconds later his Mountain King lvl3 dies as well. Three Mountain Giants of HoT show up, 4800 hitpoints combined, way too many to keep fighting and to beat the retreat was surely the smartest decision. Another two Mountain Giants are going to be added later.

20 minutes passed by and still no expo for any of the players. Both teams are taking down the remaining creeps on the map until another impressive fight right in the middle of the map begins. The priestess of the moon becomes lvl6 and Starfall becomes devastating as the supply of nilk almost gets bisects.

All gold mines are depleted by now and both teams are setting up for the final battles. PotM with lvl8 for Deadman, DH with lvl6 for HoT, several Mountain Giants vs. Archmage with lvl7, Dryads, DH with lvl5 and a Mountain Giant with Riflemen. After ~28minutes this awesome game ends.
