Battle.net Website Redesigned

It seems the teaser on Blizzard’s Battle.net website was only put there while the site was redesigned with new features and better navigation. Here’s a quick list of what they did with the site:

Warcraft III: Season Three
The third Warcraft III Ladder Season is underway. Visit the Season 3 website to view all Season 3 related news, schedule, brackets, prizes, FAQs, and rules.

Mod Support Website
We are proud to unveil the Blizzard Mod Support Website, the official resource for all map and add-on makers. This site was designed to give proper credit to talented map makers and to support the mod community. Among the many things we have planned for this section include:

– “Spotlight maps” that show outstanding creativity, technical ability, and fun gameplay will be featured on the site regularly.

– A resources page providing assets (such as icons) and tools helpful to the aspiring modder. This page will also feature tutorials from the community and Designer Journals straight from the desks of Blizzard developers.

– The Blizzard Map Vault, an archive of all Spotlight Maps, official bonus maps, and contest winning maps.

– Helpful links to great websites in the mod-making community. You can access this section by clicking Maps & Mods near the top of the main page.

Tournaments
One of the main goals of the site is to give exposure to the tournament scene relating to Blizzard games. The Battle.net tournaments section features a concise summary of major tournament events including the BlizzCon Invitational tournament to take place at Blizzard’s inaugural game convention this year. Tournament reports will be featured here as well. You can access this section by clicking the tournaments panel on the left side.

Warcraft III Stats at a Glance
By selecting your Warcraft III realm in the panel on the right side, you can see the top players and clans on each respective ladder type. You can also search for a player’s profile on the selected realm or view any upcoming automated tournaments scheduled for that realm.
