The ladder has official updated to patch v1.24b. Could all participating members update asap. And the latest DotA map released (v6.62) has also been implemented into the 'Rules'.

Changes can be found here: Cybergamer DotA 5v5 Rules

I would also recommend re-reading these rules once more, as new rules have been added and others adjusted.

Quote from foxQ:
Blizzard has finally released the anticipated 1.24b patch.

Three ways to patch to 1.24b

Solution 1- Noob friendly, but waste of bandwidth

Download the 1.24b Universal Patch (~approx. 50mb+)

Link ONE: AusGamers Files

Solution 2 - Alternative Double Patch Solution (saves bandwidth, use this if you are capped)

Approx downloads: 2mbs.

Step 1: Download the 1.23 -> 1.24 patch @ AusGamers Files
(alternative mirror @ Games On Net File Library)
Step 2 - Patch it.
Step 3: Download the 1.24 -> 1.24b patch @ Blizzard (or try my mirror @ FileFront)
Step 4 - Patch it.

Solution 3 - Update via Battle.Net (if you have a legitimate version of Warcraft)

Step 1 - Access any of the official realms (US West for example)
Step 2 - Battle.Net will automatically download to the newst patch for you (1.24b at time of writing).

Patch Notes
Quote:

The Warcraft III patch v1.24b has been released with several game fixes, updates and new maps.

1.24

PC WORLD EDITOR CHANGES

- Increased max map file size from 4 MB to 8 MB.
- Added the ability to store hashtable handles in a hashtable.
- Added GetSpellTargetX and GetSpellTargetY natives.
- Added a new base handle type "Agent" of which many types now extend from.
- Added a SaveAgentHandle native which can be used for saving most handle types.
- Added a JASS optimization dealing with global variable change events.

FIXES

- Fixed a few false positives caused by the "return bug" fix.
- Fixed a crash related to hashtable reference counting.
- "Shadowing" global variables with local variables no longer is possible.
- Fixed a type conversion dealing with operators (i.e. adding a handle with an integer).

Will this be inforced on my match tonight?

I can't dl the patch because i'm capped would it be possible if both teams agreed to play 1.23?

If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed.

Yes, that is possible sweaty palm. The transition to v1.24b will occur, so I strongly advise everyone participating in the ladder to update. (Exceptions with the up coming matches, so can all teams please be flexible until everyone has been given enough time to patch to v1.24b.)



I recommend and advise that all teams use the Warcraft Version Switcher.

Taken from the Bored Aussie website:

Quote from foxQ:
If however, you NEED to use 1.23 or 1.24 , then I suggest you download a Warcraft 1.23-1.24 Version Switcher. The link is here: Warcraft 1.23-1.24 Version Switcher
(Tutorial in link provided)

I strongly suggest that all teams use this program to easily switch between versions.
