Dragon, best known for trolling the lower leagues.
I think the story is that the chat made him buy a bikini (involving a bet?) and today was the day it arriver and he had to wear it.
His chat is also saying that he is gay everytime, which he denies in his broken english.

The AI features are great now and will help new players that want to try multiplayer, there's now a step-by step progression system that will ease the jump to laddering and make it far less daunting. That and Unranked. Shame it's probably a year too late :/

He beat MaximusBlack with no keyboard and got 5k+ viewers and that was the reward. I can't believe he actually wore it, I sure hope the money he gets is good :lol

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Yeah its a stupid thing.

Unranked is my favourite new feature, it's great to get a few games in when its possible you can get interupted by stuff or have to go somewhere soon. Also great to test some new strats against human opponents!

Mine too. I feel a lot less pressure. I'll play more human players now. The only thing that is bugging me about the new update is the hotkeys overlays. I want to remove that. And the game is running a little choppier (I just have to adjust my settings though)...love the new user interface and social features.

Hot keys keep getting unbound everytime I log in. Something keeps unbinding 1 at a time. So annoying.

Now that the highest skilled pro players have been playing the beta for a few weeks, we've been gathering pro level ladder data, pro feedback, as well as watching all the HotS tournaments/show matches that have been going on.

Out of everything we're seeing and hearing from pro players, we think the most important issue we need to deal with rather quickly is early game ZvT.

The biggest issue in the ZvT early game at the highest pro level seems to be the mass Hellion contain leading into the various potential mass Hellbat combinations right when the Armory comes into play. The time between Terran gaining full map control and then converting all their map control units into straight up power units looks to be too narrow.

Even without this threat, Terran has plenty of early game strategies to utilize vs. Zerg. We're most likely going to add the Hellion to Hellbat transformation upgrade back to the Factory Tech lab with an Armory requirement. This will give Zerg more time to scout and prep against possible Hellbat based attacks when they see lots of Hellions in play.

Okay so what change did Blizzard do in order to make Hellbats really powerful? When I was playing HotS during the super early periods, they were pretty lack-luster. Anyone know the exact "buffs" they got?
