so i just got some nostalgia for some old games, i installed WC3 TFT and was hoping to play some games, ive been in Q for like 30 minutes to find a 2v2 and nothing

i mean its an old game, i expect it to be pretty dead, but is it THAT dead? should i change servers to europe or something?

or do i have to get one of those Garena servers or stuff like that

any help appreciated

It's actually very much alive and has seen a surge in activity with the new patch and new battle.net features.

However, certain servers are more populated in certain game types. For example, Europe is pretty much the only BNet server which has an active 2v2 rt community.

US West - 1v1 only, used to be 3v3 rt as well but it died off
US East - 1v1 and 4v4
Europe- 1v1, 2v2, 4v4
Asia - I'm not familiar with this server so cant speak on it

I know East and Europe also have a somewhat active 2v2 AT scene as well. Cant speak on the others.

There is a Chinese client called Netease which is extremely active and has by far the shortest queue times. But you will have to look up a YouTube tutorial for how to download it, set up an account, and have the application set to English. This is a good option for competitive players and/or players who want shorter (nearly instant) queue times who are trying to improve their game.

That would be your best bet for 2v2 rt games. The ping may be a bit worse if you're not located in Europe, but if you havent experienced the reduced delay in game from the new patch it might not be too big of a difference. They reduced the delay in game with the new patch and it's a lot better than it used to be.
