Strategy

A Talk with Thrall

From your experience, what has been the most unique strategy you've ever seen?
I can't decide which one is the most unique, but as an orc I vote for burrowrush with naga :)

What difficulties have you encountered in a mirror match?
Well, in most mirror games both players try to follow what they have seen in the replays; it's rare to meet someone creating his own strategy nowadays. In orc mirrors, I've seen barrackless fast-tech for wyverns / 2 lodge casters and even beastmaster with 2 rax grunts, but orc mirror is one of the mirrors where one small mistake can decide the winner, so there's not so many innovations in serious games.

What are you doing versus a human? This isn't one of the best matches for orc, how do you win vs them?
Nowadays it's really hard with orc versus human. A few weeks ago, I tried to use far seer, but it's not my style, so I jumped back to blademaster. It's all about annoying human in the start and then just out-level them and fight clever. If you have 1 bad fight you will probably lose.

Everybody is talking about the "imbalance" in NE vs ORC matches. What do you think about it, and what are you trying to do vs elf?

Ne vs orc is a hard match up, that's true, but it's not really that "imbalanced". NE has advantages versus orc, because their units are cheap and very usefull vs the orcish army. I think if night elf units would be more expensive, the match up would be balanced.

Also well known in the "imba community" is the matchup ORC vs UD. What do you think about it?

I think orc vs ud is something like elf vs orc. Here, orc has advantages vs ud, because it's hard for ud to stop orc's early expand. But also like ORC vs NE in this matchup if ud play his game good without mistakes he can win. There's no undefeatable race in any match up!

What is your opinion about the balance in WC3?

I have played all races and observing the other match ups, so I think there is no big imbalance in WC3 atm. Just some little changes and it could be much better, I just think the whole imbalanced thing comes from cheap units who are able to be abused easily like dotts vs orc / tanks vs ud / gyros vs elf on LT (I dunno if humans made it on other maps too) / raiders building abuse (here i think raiders cost normal just reduce speed a bit).

Why did you choose to play Orc?
When I started to play, i picked human, but I didnt understand the game at all and the guys around me in the net cafe all played orc so I thought it's a cool race and started to play orc 2v2 rt. And from there 'til now I have been an orc player.
