Make sure to update your Battle Net accounts! You may have already opted in 2 years ago but if you are like me you have a way better system now. Go update your system specs too so they know the box you are running! Bring it on!

The preordered WoL keys were shady. In Canada my friend bugged blizzard for a month before they gave him the key he was told he would get from the preorder.

My WoL beta key was from a friend. I think that is the easiest way to get in.

That was old change, you get Overlord creep spawn after Evolution Chamber.


Can anyone confirm this? I play zerg and to be frank this sounds incredibly overpowered.

But the real question is, can you stop my bunker rushes?

How it can be overpowered? Overlord is easy to kill with marine, stalker, photon and purify. Also it allows to prevent pylon block.

If you worry about 3rd, then send anti-air unit one minute earlier to kill overlord before you place your 3rd base.

Zergs not got an alternative to pylon blocks and photon rushes. Same for protoss - they got Mothership core against that and to support them with a lot more overpowered stuff like recall and Purify, that prevents any rush in seconds.

Overlord creep at evo-chamber already mentioned in interview with David Kim and we saw it at GamesCom video as a confirmation that it's still here. And I'm glad that they allowed to zergs some more variety gameplay before lair

I don't know, spine crawler rush sounds bad. Also, creep does not disappear that fast. Maybe they will speed it up if it comes from an overlord.

Proxy tech, blocking early expansions and production buildings, spine rushes, speeding up the spread of creep from the natural and third.. I'm just amazed such a sick buff is going to be implemented. I can just imagine gooping a choke point in front of the natural before a terran or protoss can bunker or wall off properly, then streaming in speedlings galore!

I like it from a Zerg perspective but I see it causing huge headaches in the non mirror matchups.

seriously?

the only way to get creep fast enough is to delay your spawning pool heavily to get out the early evo and even then you probably wont have creep spread in time to actually do anything worthwhile unless you want to spine rush

Yup seems fine to me. What's going to be nice is hiding tech buildings is going to be easier. Protoss/terran have always been able to hide their tech away from their main/natural if they choose to and most zergs won't scout it (on bigger maps). Now zerg can do the same :D

Yes! The game needs more early game skirmishes and things like cannon rushes (or spine crawler rushes).
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.
