Great writeup! I'm looking forward to seeing the gameplay article.

David noted our concerns about the surround AI especially with early game harass (1 zealot/probe for example). He said that the team don't really see it as an issue because Starcraft 2 is much more about unit position (you can hold a zealot between certain mineral patches and not be surrounded) and that he is just as effective as he was in Broodwar. "Once you get the hang of how it plays, it's fine".

What's that supposed to mean? You're supposed to micro your guys into position so the AI can do its stuff as opposed to try to micro your guys to do things in spite of a terrible AI (dragoons I'm looking at you)?

I imagine what'll happen is that you have the Zealot weaving in and out of the mineral sweetspot to avoid being surrounded while the probes are microed to avoid the area and/or surround the zealot when it comes out. I could be totally wrong.

Nice to meet you personally at the summit Kenny. We both shared our considerations about David Kim as a great employee that perfectly knows the metagame and what he is doing, really is doing great for the game

writeups like this make me really glad I'm not an artist, because if I were an artist and couldn't work for blizzard I would probably be too jealous all the time to function
