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

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

Maybe they will speed it up if it comes from an overlord. | ||

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

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 | ||
