Looks like Kerrigan is helped with two celebrates and they are trying to fight off protoss and zerg? (why zerg vs zerg? can it be another celebrate tried to take control again?) also baneling is like the same size of Kerrigan, they are actually quite a lot bigger than I thought

That'd be retarded. Imagine if J.K Rowlling asked for her fans how Harry Potter should end. Total Chaos.
The ending of Harry Potter couldn't possibly get worse.
I actually like the ending of Harry Potter... I would not want her to change it.
BTW, why does it mater how the next installment of SCII ends? Wouldn't we still love the game? Which is what we really care for?
No. If the single player ending is bad, the entire professional SC2 scene will collapse. You can't have one without the other.
Sorry mate, but that is just BS. If you look at the achievement points of many pros they have only got some from multi-player. Not even a single one from single player. They do not care how bad a story-line is as long as the multi-player is great and to tell you the truth, I care mostly about the multi-player and nothing else. Everything else is extra...

The entire professional starcraft2 scene would collapse? You can't have one without the other? Some hardcore ladder folk perhaps but people who have made it their profession to play starcraft 2 would not walk away due to a component of single player, completely unrelated to the outcome of multi player. Your whole post is inaccurate and reeks of projecting your opinions on other people. Probe1 angry. Probe1 SMAAAAAASH.
Look, the ending (That we weren't supposed to see) is better off controversial than tame. Which path was better for Haven? The one where Raynor gets a peck on the cheek or the one where a crazy infested bitch trys to kill him? One of them had drama and excitement to it, the other was like a bad prom date experience.
This ending that we've all seen looks good, confusing and intriguing. I'm titillated enough to count the days until the release date but not enough to indulge in a wild fantasy about the future of starcraft2s professional scene- A multi million dollar world wide esport that has avid fans, investors and employees working in a giant spectrum.

The professional game would collapse cause the fans were fans of the game because of the story before it became a multiplayer sensation. Without the fans the professionals have no one to perform for. The story is important. And blizzard haven't been good at storys for a long time now. And they are getting worse it seems. Time for a new game giant to emerge... just need someone who values a good story which will in turn build a fan base and in turn create the following that leads expansions/sequels to do well. Ignore the original reason fans joined your game and your game dies!

You're just deluding yourself, in fact, not only the professional SC2 scene will collapse, but commercials for hair products will have 25% more percentages in them!

Why don't people learn lessons!
The original reason fans joined the game was because how balanced starcraft was as a RTS game. Actually it's not incorrect to say Blizzard are the forefathers in refining and balancing the RTS genre.
Yes, there are people who love the lore but that should come second to gameplay. If you love the story that much you should end up like this guy:

Inconsistencies kill immersion. Lore should be kept consistent.
Yesterday I watched an old Enterprise episode. T'Pol stated the distance to the other ship being 600.000 km while the Enterprise was closing with Warp speed. Even with just Warp 1 it would be there in 2 seconds, but it took way longer.
If they bring numbers up, they should be consistent. If they introduce characters, they should fit the lore. The red shirt guy noticed a detail which needed to be fixed.
If Kerrigan fucking dies ill be soo happy. I want my overmind and cerebrates back!
Zerg has been all about this 1 character, i dont get it. Protoss & Terran are rich in characters while Zerg is only focused about Kerrigan which isnt even really a Zerg (Well, Zerg consists of multiple different races but you know what i mean)
This doesnt do justice. Zerg has a huge base for new exciting characters and a better story, which they have payed aboslutely no attention to.
Doesn't look like the real thing to me, tbh. It's pretty poorly animated compared to what I've seen in WoL. Though the voices are done about right. I dunno, just my opinion.
Given the 4 selectable Battle Focuses for Heart of the Swarm and that Kerrigan is clearly not full on infested as shown in the pre-production video, it is my belief that it was one of the possible ideas for the Wings of Liberty story that was scrapped.
If WoL had followed that sequence of events, it would lead directly to Kerrigan and the Zerg being on their own at the start of HotS, and discovering what Duran / the Xel'Naga have planned and returning to warn both the Terran and the Protoss. Then that of course would lead it to Legacy of the Void.
The difference between the video and what we got in the released version of WoL suggests that Mengsk will be a player in the end of the story, they wanted Duran to have control of most of the Zerg and the Hybrids instead of Kerrigan, and there needed to be some redemption for her so that all 3 races would join together to combat the threat.

Yeah, Liquid`Tyler only beat the single-player for the first time within the last month. The campaign is hardly the main attraction of sc2

It's a pre-visualization of the storyboard to have some content to discuss further details before it will be fleshed out.

For Tyler it isn't. For the majority of players it probably is the first thing they do (playing the campaign.)
Some guys even don't play multiplayer at all or they just play three matches after placement and never go back for another multiplayer.
Most Wings of Liberty reviews elaborated on the campaign. In comparison, the multiplayer was just mentioned. To get a good review score, single player is still the core of the game.
Kerrigan becomes a human/zerg hybrid. She and Raynor team up to kill Mengsk, as we have seen (with the exception of the stupid "the Zerg are now free").
She discovers Mengsk has been working with/for Duran and the Protoss/Zerg hybrids. Seeing their potential, and them being in her likeness (hybrid), she leaves Raynor, kills Duran, and takes control of the hybrids. She also gets control of the zerg. Essentially, she "dies".
Kerrigan murders the Dominion and their new king, Valerian using the Hybrids and the Zerg. Jim Raynor and Matt Hooper, with a small force, are still alive and escape from Kerrigan.
Zeratul meets with Raynor, and tells him that he was wrong about the prophecy, that he must kill Kerrigan, who is truly the Dark Voice. He tells Raynor that Kerrigan will send everything against the Protoss, and they will fight to their death. Raynor is to lead a small team to kill Kerrigan.
The final mission/missions consist of Kerrigan/the Zerg/the Hybrids attacking and killing all the Protoss. The Protoss kill the Zerg and many Hybrids.
Raynor finally realizing she cannot be saved, kills Kerrigan and the remaining Hybrids.
The survivors are the Terran, the Protoss and the Zerg lying dead.
....might not be good, but sounds better than the crap they're dishing out. I forget how the WarCraft series ended, so hopefully this isn't similar
