Yup boring battle report. Widow Mines look so stupid and those Goliath-type mech units look like such a simple addition to make mech viable in TvP. I can already imagine Toss getting annihilated by War Hound/Marader compositions
dont worry, it only took them 2 years to balance WoL.
Tempest are such a silly unit. They look bad in the video, but I propose that verrrry quickly it will be discovered that tempest + cannons + colossi + stalkers are way more annoying than BL+infestor+spine unbeatable imbaness.
They're a unit thats entire purpose is to make the enemy fight entirely where you want to fight or they simply can't touch them.

I really wonder how many pros will play HotS beta for balance testing Blizz seems to need.
This is going to be really interesting to see. The WOL beta benifited tremendously from there being an active pro scene for it, but I'd imagine that not many pro's will devote much time to the beta while all the tournaments are still doing WOL.

Yep. I can see maybe a huge streamer scene for it so some of those minor foreign pros might go there for more viewers. Maybe other struggling pros that want to have an advantage for when all tournaments switch.
I agree with this.
But I think it will become a bigger issue for terrans since Zerg get the swarm host atleast.
Good morning guys
So the battle report sucked huh? Anyone got a link? I really want to watch it...

I thought it was pretty dull too. Really, all these are is exhibition matches to demonstrate the new units. I'll be excited to watch progamers stream during the beta, but meh @ Blizzard devs showing off the new stuff that we've seen before by now

I'm sure they will, and if not I'd imagine Day9 would do it like he did with WoL.
So that battle report was terrible. What the point of mech if you're just making it play the same as Bio. It's micro'd and and positoned almost exactly the same as bio, but it's slower and less interesting to watch. That was fucking dull.
I thought the previous battle reports were pretty neat, but this one looked outright bad and so does the matchup.
It sort of seems like Terran now have their own death ball TvP. Ugh.

Out of all the pros currently playing SC2 both in and out of Korea how many currently have any chance of winning a tournament? I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of pros trying to switch over as fast as possible to get a head start.
Naniwa if you only talk foreigners.
But compared to BW SC2 is much much more open (for now).
Also, competing in a tournament in Korea is hard as fuck compared not in Korea (even if it is the same pros from Korea attending).

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?
Is the Oracle really as bad as people say it is?
It's ultra fast, basically it can't die, it can constantly harass for a long period of time. I mean, a zerg would only be able to stop the harassment when he starts getting infestor/mutas out.

As a zerg, how do I do this?
oh, leave a queen behind your minerals?
Im pretty sure the unit has 20 shields 40 health

20/80, the queen won't be able to do shit against it since it's so fast and the cast time is instant.

I dunno then, use your viper/hydra/muta/swarm host? Its not like the oracle is tier 1 tech.
Of course we can deteer it, but the problem is that we need to be on top of it since we dont have an auto attack unit (ala mine).
But I dont see it as a problem for now... see later though.

Yeah but if protoss can rush the tech with early safe expands, they'll be able to force tech from zerg. Whether it's Hydras or Mutas... also I have no idea what you meant with Swarm Host and Vipers, how would they shoot up?

The muta and viper are hard counters, its going to be equivalent of how you deal with stargate tech now. If you see any stargate units you're going to make spores and maybe some extra queens or something.

HDH2 to finally happen
Hopefully not this mech.
Not like this. This is just bioshit.

It's like a Marauder you can't stim; Stalkers are so fucked lol. It seems to me that reviving the Vulture would pretty much fix mech (not to say it's broken now per se, just that no one uses it). Tank, Vulture, Viking, Ghost sounds potent to me
It's times like this that we remember Browder came from Command & Conquer, and is turning SC into that unfortunately

...or its been 10+ years since BW and the team now just sucks.

If this were to turn into C&C (the actual good ones) then this game wouldn't be so full with shitty boring ass units.
Westwood+Browder shits on everything Blizzard ever did.

Thats pretty cool. Too hard to do all the time but i guess you could use it at the start.

damn, super jealous
you should go to the LG-IM booth and get a free IM jersey + towel (and then get an extra towel for me)
That's pretty cool, hopefully Blizzard keeps this one in instead of patching it out like they did last time.
out of all the things blizzard remove, this is what they should remove, i dont wanna fight 6 pool that are 5 seconds earlier.
Don't worry, all your shit can be 5 seconds faster to!
I saw the results, lots of upsets it seems. I'll probably watch the vods when they're free next week.
