<<<INTRO>>>
I was originally an Orc player who went by the name of Azuka in Clan DoW (Dogs of War) @Lordaeron back during the first 2 ladder resets in 2003-5. I unlocked the 350 spirit walker icon, and was oh so close to the 750 shadow shaman icon.
But then, DotA took over, as I slowly got tired of all the identical, cookie-cutter match-ups on ladder. Around 9 years later, I decided to climb up the newly-reset ladder again through creativity and innovation, incorporated with pure tower rush strategies. Yesterday, as I controlled my original race in WC3, I felt everything click, as every action was familiar and coated with nostalgic Orc micro. In one night, I climbed up to
RT rank 10 @Lordaeron, and will still continue to do so.
On this account, all my games are 100% tower rushes, or at least, I have started all of my games with the goal to tower rush. In rare cases (it does happen once every 8+ games), if I fail due to lack of stealth or unsupportive allies, I abandon my towered outpost/camp and decide to turtle back in my main base and usually go onto carry the game.
I believe the best way to adapt/learn skills in WC3 is to watch, practice, and emulate other successful players by downloading and studying their replays.
Below, I'll post my 4 most exciting / funniest replays from yesterday, as I demonstrate the raw power of the deadly-long-range-fa
st-rate Orc Watch Towers.
However, If requested, I can post a detailed written build order / tips in my second post.
<<<REPLAYS>>>
The way I score the Quality of these replays is through a "GG NORE [Quality]" system, similar to that of the Michelin Guide for 1, 2, or 3 star restaurants
GG = * (good / funny)-->uncommon {note: remember, I only save the replays that can be evaluated on this prestigious rating}
GG NORE = ** (Excellent // Hilarious)-->rare
GG NORE [Quality] = *** (SUPREME / LUL)-->once in a lifetime

The standard of all Orc Tower Rushes, the game was won so fast (8 min), I tried to backstab my allies to create a stand-off situation where I would decide who to give the win to. However, that plan backfired, as the last opponent ragequit on us, as I was starting to bs.
Quoted from the game:
Q u o t e:
(08:23 / 4) Bromeister: dude stay
(08:26 / 4) Bromeister: i'll backstab my team
(08:30 / 4) Bromeister: and try to get u the win
(08:32 / 4) Bromeister: just mass towers in base
<#2> ORC Tower Rush GG:
A different build order from the first replay.
Apparently someone from the other team appreciated my tower rush

A real close one, as my ally red decides to suicide tech (teching straight with no units or just 1 hero) to raiders. In the end, it all worked out because Voodoo Lounges are hella imba haha.

A brand new "GG NORE" replay in a brand new 3v3 RT ladder map, Hinderland Raid.
In this one, it might be better to focus your attention on green (HU), as I couldn't tell if he was a nublet or a class A troll lol.

<#5> ORC Pro Micro Tower Rush GG NORE [Quality]: -BEST-

G%20NORE%20[Quality]
And finally, the cliche, "the best for last."
This is the current, professional highlight of all the ORC Tower Rush replays.
Take note, there were 2 out of 6 clan members during this game; that number increased to 4 out of 6, as two of the players in the game,
myudoicp (Rank 7 on west) and
JynxTheBunny quickly joined afterwards. Basically it was 3 NRO members (b0p. was already for NRO) vs. 1 NRO and 2 others.
Pay attention to my watch-tower making peons, as the hotkeys "b" (build),"w"
(watch tower), and "c" (cancel) are spammed continuously to win this game with "focus fire diversion" micro.
As soon as the constructed watch tower is focused and close to destruction, I quickly cancel it and immediately place another one. This results in frustration for the opponent who is getting picked off by my allied forces, while trying to focus on the watch towers going up.
