Warcraft III Alpha/Beta Material

In Forum: Game Betas
By User: Hallfiry

As the Blizzard History guy, I see it as my responsiblity to bring light to the development of Warcraft 3. To do that, I'll create a comprehensive list of screenshots, photos, videos, etc.
I will use the album feature of Imgur and not the BetaArchive image uploader, because handling that amount of images without any possiblity of grouping them and having a handy upload, is way too inefficient.

So let's start
