i like playing Terran mirrors against players with different skins.

IDK if they're seriously considering a "show default skins on enemy units" option, but I think the one really realistic path toward pulling that off would be to give so much customization outside of unit skins that people are not upset about their opponent not seeing what army skins they chose.
i want a feature that goes further. i want to select the skins of my opponent units that i see on my screen. my opponent can do the same for the skins he sees on his screen.

That short contains information I didn't have up until now. Is this information (name and research location of the upgrade for example) publicly available or do you have alpha access?
Yeah I'd be curious to know too I've been following everything and never seen most of this info posted at all
Yeah it looks like this content is in violation of the person's NDA, unless I'm missing something.
I was just thinking about how Human takes bits from Terran and Protoss so even the mirror should be fun. Like you have the Lancers that can be used like Zealots to drop on tanks, or other sieged positions. Terran in SC obviously doesn't have that as all their units are ranged.
I still don't know how they're going to explain Lancers in the lore but, in terms of gameplay, I think they're cool.

I think it s good to get anything at this early stage, better for them ti release small snippets regularly than one big thing, then hide for months until the next big one.

I like them, but why do you use a new account for each short? Regarding the format, I realize shorts are better to attract viewers, but I prefer old-school videos in landscape format. However, it's probably bad advice to recommend videos over shorts. Better advice would be to publish at set intervals (for example, weekly) and try to keep that schedule. Or, in other words, don't publish five shorts in a week and then nothing for two months.
I'm a bit confused. So some content creators are allowed to post stuff from the closed alpha but the rest of us are not? Is it just a matter of contacting Frost Giant and they'll give permission?

No, no one is allowed to post content from the alpha. The shorts that were posted were from another video from over 3 months ago. Certain content creators got to reveal Human units that had these turnaround animations and some cool featurettes. These are not from closed playtesting.
I'm fairly certain the era of content creation around Stormgate will come later, but Frost Giant has stated now is not the time! Anyone who was accepted into closed testing must keep it all to themselves until further notice.

Unless I missed something, the alpha has already started, but participants need to sign a NDA. The beta starts next year, as far as I know.
None of the Frost Giant social media presences have an announcement about something starting tomorrow.
What surprised me is how well the NDA has worked so far. I'm not aware of any leaks.
That's my understanding too, alpha has phases, so perhaps the date Kara had in mind is the next phase.
At the same time, while the NDA is likely good, early alpha typically have very few ppl, and they are selected pretty strictly i d assume, and so the likelihood of leaks is lower. Late alpha/early beta is usually where the floodgates open, based on my experience as an alpha member of heroes of the storm

HotS alpha was a lot of fun. I still use the Alpha Hero portrait.

Actually, HotS still has an active scene, including yearly offline events. Last year in Miami and this year in Berlin. They have an existing rule that every hero can only be played once in a series, and they banned about 10 heroes that are played a lot in tournaments.
