Patch 1.24 Warcraft TFT is Released!

Patch 1.24 Warcraft TFT is now released and went on public realm. Previously, it's only available on Westfall (ClassicBeta). However, this patch it's not compatible with the Dota 6.61 b or the Dota 6.62 Beta. But you can still play the Dota 6.59d on Warcraft 1.24 Patch.

IceFrog is already aware and working hard to fix this problem, so be patient ;) And the good news is, the Patch 1.24 increased the map size limit from 4MB to 8MB. So IceFrog have more space to add new contents (yay, new hero is good!). Here is the complete changelogs:
