April 19, 2023 by Odhran Johnson

Warcraft 3: Reforged has just received a brand new Version 1.36 patch that adds a new Observer Mode and Tournaments. In a recent Warcraft 3: Reforged blog post Community Manager at Blizzard Kaivax noted the following additions and changes were coming to the game’s Observer Mode and Tournaments:

  • Added new features and Updated UI for Observer Mode.
  • All panels can be toggled on and off individually, using hotkeys or the Control Panel.
  • Added Statistics Panel: you can now view the Race, Gold, Lumber, Food, and APM of all players in the game at once.
  • Added Production queue: you can now view what units each player is currently building at once.
  • Added Unit view: you can now view all the units in each player’s army at once.
  • You can toggle between seeing the Production Queue or the Unit view.
  • Added Hero Panel view: you can now view all the heroes and their items and abilities of up to 4 players at once. You can also click on heroes to center your camera on them.

Tournaments
