Open the client. Pick a game. Play.

W3Arena is where DotA 1 and Warcraft III custom games are still played properly. Maps install themselves, lobbies fill, servers sit close to you, and your matches, rating and profile are all kept.

No WinRAR. No hunting for a map version. No Discord call to coordinate. You point it at Warcraft III once and everything after that is just playing.
