New Prizes, New Pro Player, New Game Simulator
Hello everybody!
We have some changes for this season. First of all, it was always annoying to have to wait 1 hour at 20:00 everyday while the league playday was being simulated. I was working hard on that, and this season that time has been dramatically reduced to 5-10 minutes.
With this new “simulator”, I want also change some tactics to make the game more balanced. Thus the fast expansion tactic has been improved a little bit, due to nobody was using it since it was kind of uneffective in many cases.
And I think it was about time. For this season, we have also added a new real Pro Player for you! Say hello to the German talent 
XlorD ! The player is in the auction list at the moment, so go quickly to bid or somebody could get him before than you! The auction will be running for 4 days.
We are changing our prizes this season too. We always want to give you the best equipment out there, so this season the prizes are:
1º CHAMPIONS SERIES PRIZE
2º CHAMPIONS SERIES PRIZE
1º BNET PRO LADDER PRIZE
Good luck this season!

New rules and new tournaments!
Hello everybody. The 10th season started yesterday, and it’s more exciting than ever. We are becoming bigger for every season and here at WC3Manager we want to thank you for playing and supporting us!
In this new season we have some new things. First of all, Hero members can now create tournaments where everybody can play. You don’t need a Warrior/Hero account to play those tournaments, you just need the password from the creator of the tournament if he didn’t choose to create a public tour. You can find all the information about these new tournaments in this section. Remember that if you are a Warrior/Hero member and you are enjoying the line up selector, the friendly line up will be used in these tournaments. Every saturday you can face your friends in a new exciting tournament!
We also added a new rule. You already got a private message about it last season, but we changed it a little bit. Now you have a maximum limit for your web income. That limit is calculated with your wages/salaries and the average of your last current ranking seasons. Instead of using the current one, we will use the last 2 seasons to avoid that teams which are having a bad season can’t get any money. For instance, now we are in the 10th season, so we will use the 8th and the 9th season to calculate the maximum limit. Notice that you won’t lose money because you will always get money enough for your salaries. The scout wage maybe will be added in later on, but at the moment it is not added into the calculation.
Feel free to post your opinions, questions or suggestions in the forum about these topics. Also some forum users are playing a real Warcraft 3 tournament. Face your friends also in the real WC3!
Good luck this season!

Pro Player licenses and more changes
Hi managers! These days we are doing some small changes in our favorite game.
Now you can check League Cup and Champions Series schedule easily just clicking here. You can find that link in the Champions Series or League Cup section, or just clicking in a match which hasn’t been played. That was one of the most frequently asked questions, so now you can find the answer easily.
Another thing, a few times it did happen, teams bought players from opponents right before the match. To avoid that, now teams can’t buy other teams’ players from 18:00 CET to 21:00 CET. So now, if someone buy a new player at 17:59 CET, the manager have 2 hours where he can set his line up.
The next change has influence on our top teams, because for the next Champions Series rounds, prize money will be different. Loser team will get 100 €, and winner team will get 250 € on the first round, 300 € on the second one and 350 € if you reach semi finals. Final prize money will still be the same, 2000€.
Finally, lets talk about one of the new features. These days first real pro player will be in one auction and you can get it! Remember that you only can get it if you have a Warrior or Hero Account. This bid will take 4 days instead of normal 2 days, so everybody will have time to bid on him.
But lets explain a little about these real pro players:
- They will have your real idols info, like race, stats, names, age and so on.
- They dont get older! So you won’t ever lose this player or he won’t decrease his stats due to his age!
- But they are not able to train anymore. They won’t gain more stats, even with friendly wars.
- They can play bnet ladder or 1on1 tournaments like a normal player!
- Nobody can change their nicknames.
- You can use them many times as you want, but remember that they will stay in your team just until your membership is running!
- You will get a new message when a new player is in one auction.
Do you want them? Just prepare yourself to buy them! Remember that you can get money from your gold coins if you need more money to buy them!
Finally, I want to remind you that we have a irc channel #wc3manager @ Qnet , where we discuss several topics about the game. We want to know your opinion! Or you can use our forum, where we are talking about a lot interesting and important issues like a new system for balance the international situations, suggested for wc3manager users. See you there!

Interview with Striped Ruffians
Q : We are here with the last Champions Series winner. His name is now Striped Ruffians but all of you maybe know him as European Light Knights. Last season, Russia won this championship and AbusingAces was the manager who handled it. Hi AbusingAces! Congratulations! Tell us something about you
R : My name is Sergey and im a 21 years old student (from Russia as you correctly noticed).
Q : Like I already said, you won the last Champions Series edition. Was it your bigger achievement?
R : This is the biggest achievement possible in WC3M isn’t it?
Q : Do you think is harder to win Champions Series or to win Russian Championship every year?
R : CS winning sometimes requires a lot of luck, but winning a hard league, like Russian, some seasons in a row is a pure management skill
R : So its harder to win CS, not everything depends on you ;D
Q : The last season, even more in Champions Series , people talked a lot about race training. What do you think about race training?
R : Pretty balanced feature, which allows to win by good management, not by 5 high-skilled players
Q : But many times its all about luck, just about which player of your roster do you choose in your line up. Don’t you think? It would be better with less players? What do you think?
R : Ye thats why I said that winning CS requires luck - single wrong lineup setting in playoffs can eliminate you. And 50/50 matches are unavoidable, when we have race training available.
R : Did you mean 10 players limit?
Q : Yes, for example.
R : Less players=less action freedom for manager. So, I think 15 is perfect number for manager to build his season strategy quite flexible
Q : Another hot topic about the game at the moment is about low level countries. Teams who every season win in those countries, and every year season stronger. Do you think those teams will own the game in some seasons?
R : Hard question. I think playing big hard leagues gives manager more experience than in small ones. So big leagues have better managers in my opinion. But in small leagues they gain more money - so when managers discover all secrets of game, small leagues’ leaders will have slight advantage ;D I dont think its gonna happen soon.
Q : We are reaching the end of this interview. Countries like US or Poland became very popular in the game. Do you think their level is getting better or still there is a big gap between Russia or Germany, and the others countries?
R : Yes, I think those leagues need time to get close to top ones. Im pretty sure there are some promising teams in those leagues, which can rock in future. But at the moment no top leagues are still out of competition.
Q : Many people are signing up these days. What do you have to say to these new WC3 managers? Open your secrets book! 
R : With great pleasure.
R : 1. Always believe you can win
R : 2. Never tell all your secrets to anyone
R : 3. …
R : That’s it
Q : lol 
Q : In a normal week, how much time wc3manager take in your life?
R : Normally, hmm, like 10-12 hours per week. Though last season it took me much more time.
Q : Why?
R : I Had some hard battles in CS and also was going to defend title in Russia. And if you have big intensions, you have to work hard for it ;D
Q : Well, lets do our top5 Tell me top5 teams in game at the moment
R : 1. w
R : 2-4. (Alphabetical list) 4EpTu, Pure Pwnage, Vitastjaerna.
R : 5. Dynamo Bryansk
Q : Oh, Pure Pwnage finally in an interview top5
Q : What about countries?
Q : Favourite users question by the way
R : 1-2. (Alphabetical list) Germany, Russia
R : I would name Russia as top1 country in season 6 but right now i even think Germany is slightly better
R : 3. Spain
R : 4. Sweden
R : 5. US
Q : Ok Sergey. Any final words for this interview?
R : Thanks ONe for the beautiful game, thanks to all my opponets for nice competitions, good luck all.
Q : Ok. Thank you for the interview, enjoy your prizes and good luck this season!
