I plan to post videos of replays here, as well as live stream links for finals for all interested in watching. Hope some of you decide to come out and play as well, it is for players good and bad!
I started playing war2 combat edition early 2016 and its been great! Sadly I dont play much sc2 anymore, I have been drawn more to War2 than sc2 even if i play terribly. All the players in the server are pros playing for more than a decade, so naturally I get my ass handed to me everytime. But they are quite helpful and open to teaching newbs. There are some newbies that I have played against and won :-D. Hoping to get some fellow newbs try it out! If you like starcraft, you will like war2, it's where it all began! :D It's still got its magic after all these years.

Damn, is this still true? I remember it being the case 20 years ago when I was playing with my school mates over tcp/ip on Win95 but I kind of figured there'd have been some sort of change since then.
We also have a Master Tag challenge on the server, where the defender can earn $25 and the challenger has the shot to win the master tag icon. These can be fun series, figured I would share them with you guys as well! Knitterhemd vs. Medivh.
Wow! I thought that no one plays Warcraft 2 anymore. I remember in my childhood, when I had a Pentium 100, I was playing the campaign mode with my father over weekends. Nostalgia...
I know this has been you posting a lot, just wanted to pop by and say thanks for giving us good war 2 games. So cool to see this game still around and kicking. So many memories.

Personally I always recommend people forward there ports and host their own games. If you host a FFA and have enough patience you should be able to get a game each time.
In addition to the cash prizes for the two players in 1st ($200 a piece) and the two players in 2nd place ($100 a piece) we have received another donation by Dugs[anz]! He has placed another $100 in the tournament prize pool which will give four more players in 3rd and 4th $25 a piece.
Reminder that war2 insight will be required to collect the prize, as well as anti-hack running. Also a Paypal account will be necessary as well.
If for some reason you cannot run Anti-Hack then alternative is to stream or warvid for the $$ prize. You however are still required to be able to provide all war2 insights of games in the tournament. We want the replays and the original donations are from a viewer who wants to see commentaries on match ups! We want to give him as many as possible.

If anyone else would like to donate towards this tournament or July's GoW $$ prize 1vs1 tournament shoot me a pm.
GoW 1vs1 Championship is today! Please all come out and join, $50 drawing for all participants who don't win a cash prize. Viruz(2x),Swift,Its_Hot,Valkrie,Wargasm are the players in the past to win this thing, and I am very excited to see who wins today. If you can't attend be sure to watch the stream tonight, twitch.tv/war2combat
Starts at 3pm eastern, but I probably won't actually start streaming commentary games until Semi-Finals/Finals because I will need to be organizing brackets. So at least 6 or after I believe.
However, I am sure some top players will be streaming before hand, tv.war2.ru if you want to follow some on there.

You need to see the Swift vs U8 games, they will be uploaded on the channel eventually and ill be sure to post them here too! It was a very intense series. Swift would have been placed on opposite side of the bracket but he showed up a little late and got put in a open slot and ended up against u8 in the semi-finals but they are 5 really good games!
You can watch them here from u8's point of view, but I will eventually have my commentary ones uploaded.
Having issues logging into my original account, some reason the password is not working + the email registered I no longer have access to so logged in through twitter now. Here is update on what is coming up this Sunday.
August 27th, GoW/High Sea Combat, 3vs3 HUM/HUM/ORC vs HUM/HUM/ORC $$ tournament @ 3pm eastern time, PLUS two $25 drawings for all players who do not earn a cash prize to get the chance at some money as well!
KOTH Style 1vs1 tournament TODAY, starts out GoW then the loser picks the next map. $50 grand prize + two $25 drawings live on the stream for EVERYONE who participates!
I watched this live and to answer the question of the ^adam^ memorial POS tourney in the last vid: u8t3io3p didn't play in the first one and braviet didn't play in the second one. Braviet and ^Adam^ and were tournament partners often and won one in 2014.
here is a commentated replay of adam and braviet facing swift and 00joe in a their last 2v2 tournament on 12/13/15. I show the brackets at the start of the vid.
GoW 2vs2 SMURF/Random Allies , HALLOWEEN tournament coming up October 29th @ 3pm est! There will be a $50 prize for the best voted smurf name created so be sure to show up! http://forum.war2.ru/index.php/topic,3580.0.html
Cool stuff, i like how you mix it up with the tournaments.Enjoyed the hum/orc 2/2 tourney.Might watch the vids of this after but it starts at 3am my time so won't play in it.
Halloween tournament was a big success! 48 players competed with the server getting topped at around 96 that I saw. Biggest tournament so far this year and defiantly will be a yearly tradition.
