A short interview given by ThePlaymate
Will you play on iCCup next season as some pub gaming besides playing cw's with mym?
I don't know this season has been quite nice but due to the drops i have decided to return to ggc as main platform :) For now i dunno i might start playing again not sure yet
What do you think of skill of players A/B level? Can it be compared with top-leagues skill?
Yes definitely there are some Russian players out there that are very skilled and i was surprised by the level of competition i got :)
And what improvements may be done to ensure that some top-players such as you regularly play on iCCup?
Main part is to attract the top/good players to iCCup and when there are enough skilled players good games could be played with good players on both teams instead of one team stacked and another with one or two decent players.
What do think if some fun tourneys will be run on the iCCup, for example -ardmwtf mode, which team will be the first?)
Well ardmwtf is luck based so it can be any team :)
Do you play some custom wc3 maps? or you prefer to play another games instead of switching through wc3 maps?
I play pudge wars, raze war (sf) and uther party (hammerball) :D
A Custom-bot was made for people who like to play on custom maps. Now you can create nine most popular non-DotA maps. Wanna bite someones face with a hook? chost PW is at your disposal. Maybe you want to train a SF? Then choose /chost SW. A full list of maps can be found in the spoiler. Don't be shy to ask for your favorite map to be included into this list. All your opinions are important for us.
Custom maps
To create the game /chost
Battleships Crossfire. Code — BT.
Castle Fight. Code — CF.
Footmen Frenzy. Code — FF.
Legion TD War. Code — LTD.
Pudge Wars Advanced. Code — PW.
Shadowraze Wars. Code — SW.
Vampirism Fire. Code — VF.
Warlock. Code — WS.
You TD. Code — YTD.
Example: /chost SW only turbo pro
For those who hate leavers one more option has been added, this new command doesn't allow people with the 15 percents in leaves or more to enter the game. /nol works as similar as ?? /nah. even it is not so prestigious to leave now because of the remade system of deleting the scores for leaves, now that who decide to leave high-ranked games will lose their scores on the speed of light
---+---Communication improvement ---+---
A group of commands were added to facilitate the interaction with your clan. /clan (or /c). In addition to it, you will receive messages about all actions of your co-clan members and you won't need to add them onto your friends list. The list of commands are:
/clan list (/c l) — shows a full list of the members in your clan
/clan msg (/c m /c w) — sends a private message to all your fellow clan members, that are online
/clan online (/c o) — shows a list to you of all online co-clan members
/clan off (/c off) — switches messages about co-clan members' actions to off
/clan on (/c on) — switches messages about co-clan members' actions to on
/clan state (/c state) — shows if the clan message delivery is on or off
Improvements also affected not only the process of the game, but of the service too. Such improvements include: adding a US bot, to help support US players as well as adding an automatic pinger function. The automatic pinger will choose the best bot for you. While using your Anti-hack launcher you will only see the games made on the bots with a ping of no more than 150 ms.
