THis is the most recent super rush and tech strategy that I've seen. It was on a recent prestigious competition, I don't recall the name.
There were 2 orc guys (Orc111 and Orc 112) and they started both with Shadow Hunter and 1 grunt each, rushed directly with double HEX (not allowing the enemy heroes to use town portal result in ending up dead and the other micro advantages of this spell at double power) or with double serpent wards.They killed everything and everyone many other team combinations, except in one game a double night elf team (but they didn't use Shadow Hunter,they used Blade Master).
Most of all I must say that I liked the long run strategy as well because they used both the same type of units until a point when they combined the double orc armies: one going grunts +raiders and the other not so many grunts but kodo beasts and demolishers. There were a few games when they used the same units.These guys were unstopable not even slow or Beastmaster couldn't make the difference and they didn't use any casters.
To better understand what I'm talking about, there are atached a few replays of the up mentioned matches, I posted them here because they are strongly related to my topic and my topic is a strategy one (the replays are from www.wcreplays.com).
Ok now I want to ask you guys your opinions on how to counter this very effective rush and tech strategy, beside double night elf team what other team combination whould you recomend and what could be the shortcomings of using double orc army ?
I want to state also that these guys that got defeated are TOP Warcraft players, I expect very smart ideas from you all, this will be usefull for us if we could come up with a real counter solution for this insane strategy because I think that we can expect many simillar copies of this on the net or in tournaments.
