+ Show Spoiler + Game 2 in particular was very strange with some very awful play. If a player cannot defend a Swarm Host its sickening to watch wave after wave decimate a base slowly until either GG or Protoss finds a way to kill them. Very low skill. However I have to say the image of the wave of SH and Spine Crawlers moving up a map is so insanely cool. Claustrophobia sets in as Zerg chokes the map to death. Daym. However the third game... ugh. Protoss 4 base 5 minute game, very boring. Where is the skill in this matchup? Make units go kill, sit back and shoot Swarm Hosts, fly around with Void Rays and Phoenix picking up drones is better but still a bit meh. So I am a bit worried for HotS but I gotta say I have had the most fun watching Terran play since around early 2012. Terran feels limitless, you can open so many ways, go either mid game bio or mech, turbo medivac all over the place hitting so much the observer can't find them all, Ravens are actually good now, BC's are still bad but are legit in certain amounts I feel great about Terran. | ||

I think in two years HotS will be at about the same place as WOL is now. Might even happen faster since players already know SC2 mechanics very well. | ||

In WoL, both Terrans and Protoss have to either kill or cripple an opponent that has the potential to expand their economy exponentially in moments, while also possessing the most powerful early-game units and an unbeatable late-game. In HotS, however, Zergs can still hit 4 bases / 70 drones without any danger, but are forced to use all of the tools at their disposal to crush their opponent before they can amass an unstoppable deathfleet. | ||

I'm not sure if it is actually more entertaining or not...but atm it sure is for me. Maybe one's staleness is due to one's birth, how does sit sound? Why would blzzzard continue to patch WOL if they are preparing for HOTS n the same time? They don't have unlimited HR. | ||

Not complaining though, there was never anything wrong with WoL streams and shoutcasting. | ||
