h3cast Builds the Heroes III Spectator Mode the Game Never Had

h3cast.com Observed source
Editorial interest 86/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A broadcasting system that combines both players’ Heroes III or HotA game states into one live, rewindable spectator view.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-05 issue.

Field notes

The system places one agent on each player’s machine, reads local game events, and merges those streams server-side rather than capturing video. Its director can select either player’s fog of war, both views, or a full-map view, while the same ordered event stream supports roughly 90 seconds of rewind during a live match. The page says players only enter a password and play, with no OBS or encoder required.
