Apart from the visual eye candy improvements, Heroes of Newearth, or HoN, might actually be a better replacement than Garena.
Eg. If you d/c from a game, you CAN still rejoin THAT SAME GAME and continue fighting (within 5 mins from point of d/c i think.) Then of course there is that stability you get from being a standalone game. i.e IceFrog don't have to code the MOD based on Blizzard's warcraft engine and perhaps we can expect new abilities?
HoN. Not just a copycat but a damn exciting one too.. But for now, it's DOTA and Garena ler..
