Interesting interview, cool cinematic. Let's hope the story is at least decent for once.

very cool cinematic but just one thing irks me with all the Blizzard cinematics as of late, why does the main protagonist always have to have this multi layered bassy voice? Illidan, Cataclysm, Lich King, Tichus and now Kerrigan, don't get me wrong the cinematics themselves are absolutely awesome but the voice! arrrrrrrrrrgh ><

Did anyone catch this? How on earth will attack speed benefit banelings, do they explode 50% more often now? XD

Skins for units
On top of new portraits and in-game logos, skins will be part of the experience and ladder reward system of Heart of the Swarm. The preview that we saw had only a picture of units skinned from campaign (mercenary marines, dark zealots, raptor zergling). The details are still being worked out on how to introduce interesting skins without introducing too much clutter to the competitive aspect of the game.

Now there needs to be a option to turn it off from the player's perspective.

Yup. And tournaments should probably have them off by default.

I love the idea though.

Ah, this is the kind of preview I was looking forward to. I cannot wait to get my hands on the campaign for HotS, jesus. Thanks TL!

Intro was a bit... not as great as the one for WoL, but the ending sure was neat :>
