‘Warcraft 3: Reforged’ first pro tournament filled with bugs, desyncs
Last February, “Warcraft 3: Reforged” was put on its first ultimate test as a game when it was played in its first professional and major tournament. Unfortunately, the game did not perform smoothly as well and even led to a controversial result.
“Warcraft 3: Reforged’s” bugs manifested several times during the event affecting the strategy of the up-and-coming pro gamer Marcus "ThorZain" Eklöf against the veteran Jang "Moon" Jae-ho. In the quarter final round, ThorZain played well and was reportedly on the verge of winning until the game disconnected.
