In a Weibo post that has since been deleted, TeD -- WarCraft III champion of the 2012 World Cyber Games -- uploaded a poster of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and wrote, “I’ve just received an exciting news. Look at this picture and take a guess… Many might have already guessed correctly. Let’s wait three more days.”
