A few points so far:

1) Hellion New thing (what is it called again? oh yea WARhound) looks like it could be some fun in TvP o.o
2a) New maps new maps new maps.
2b) Warp prism harass is fun as hell on new maps
2c) Korhal City has gigantic main due to the nat being in the main - lol @ 4gating terrans who 1 rax FE here.
2d) New maps have a totally different design concept, whatever it may be. Will certainly be interesting to see how strategies play out here.
2e) Wide as fuuuuuck. I LOVE having sneaky probes around the map for forward pylons.
2f) Often mains have really wide cliffs around them too. Too bad I tried to do a 4g off one and realized that high ground warpins are no more. Derp.
2g) Did I say harass? More harass I say! Bases are so open, map is so open.
3) Why did I get auto barcoded?

Fun fun fun, after 2 years, another beta! Now I know people will be full of complaints and decry how terrible the game will be. Certainly some will be with merit, and some not, but the volume will be loud. Let's just keep one thing in mind though - instead of using our criticism to disparage the game, just try to make it better. WoL was the most godawful unentertaining thing to watch when it came out. Now it's quite entertaining (assuming both parties are playing extremely well). All things need time. We are all noobs at this game once again.

nope. I saw TT1 in DIamond.
Micro at its best is like an elegant dance between two people trying to achieve a similar end.

Plat highest league is planned though? Like they will remove dia/master/gm when it's released? As Protoss, open bases scare me.
Knowing is half the battle... the other half is lasers.

o.o I guess I'm wrong.

Btw, funny thing I just discovered. So I hit the unranked queue, and queued into NASL (gretorp/bitter). Upon winning, I discovered they were in the for points queue... so they lost points but i was in no points queue so im unaffected. Hope that doesn't stay for release or point abuse to gm time lol.

If anyone happened to be watching the stream, I was the protoss who did the 1 gate oracle into 4 gate into double ninja expand into 10 gate blink obs o.o
