Spencer Wilson is known in the world of gaming as several different names. I am called Shadow_Darkness, Deathbyalters, Shelooked18, and Ice-Nine. I am a level 28 Bloodmage with a 77.8% win rate that is ranked 4th in the entire world! I have also been invited to the WCG or the World Cyber Games. Needless to say, I am an expert at Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne.

The game can be played in several modes: free for all, Solo, 2v2, 3v3, and 4v4. My partner Stephen, 18, from Michigan and I lead a 4v4 team that is ranked 4th in the world! There are four races that can be played: Orc, Human, Undead, and Night Elf. I play Undead, Stephen plays Human, and our other two players play the last races. To play the game you build basic workers who mine gold, chop wood, and build. You build barracks that train Heros and units. You can have up to 3 heros per game and as many units as possible, there's a 100 unit food limit. The objective of the game is to kill the opponents with your heros and units. The basic unit types are air, anti-air, magic, seige, and melee. These types all counter each other. For example, air counters melee. Which ever team does a better job of countering the other team's units will win. So basically warcraft is a big game of rock, paper, scissors, with strategic moves across the board to beat your opponent. This is the basic idea of warcraft, but there are many different combonations of units and ways to play.
