Yesterday was a busy day for Warcraft III custom games, with a total of 23455 sessions played across various maps on Battle.net. We at WC3 Tracker are excited to dive into the details and see which maps were the most popular. The data shows a slight decrease in overall sessions compared to the 7-day average, but unique hosts were up, indicating a broader range of players hosting games.
Top Maps for July 21
The top maps for the day were Legion Td with 2217 sessions, Direct Strike with 811 sessions, Ordr S2 2211r with 672 sessions, and two versions of Ordr S2 2305r with 728 and 6017 sessions respectively. It's interesting to note that while Legion Td saw a significant increase in activity, Ordr S2 2211r and Ordr S2 2305r were below their averages, suggesting a shift in player preferences towards Legion Td and Direct Strike.
Head-to-Head: Legion Td vs Direct Strike
When comparing the top two maps, Legion Td and Direct Strike, we see that Legion Td had nearly three times the number of sessions, with 2217 sessions to Direct Strike's 811.

Player Base & Activity
The number of unique BattleTag hosts was significantly higher than the 7-day average, with 7949 unique hosts. This increase in hosts, combined with the decrease in overall sessions, suggests that more players are taking on the role of hosting games, which is a positive sign for the community. As we track Warcraft 3 custom game lobbies, it's clear that the player base remains active and engaged.
Server Activity
Breaking down the activity by server, we see that KR had the most sessions with 10633, followed by EU with 8073 sessions, and USW with 4744 sessions. This distribution gives us insight into where the most active communities are and how they contribute to the overall WC3 custom map statistics.
Notable Trends
One of the notable trends from the data is the rise of Legion Td and Direct Strike, with both maps seeing significant increases in sessions. This trend, combined with the appearance of new maps in our tracking data, such as Ordr S2 2305r, indicates a dynamic and evolving custom game scene. Our live Warcraft 3 lobby tracker allows us to monitor these trends in real-time.
