So idra and incontrol didn't get keys, that is really weird. Disappointing as someone wanting to see them play.

They did, they just won't stream. They appeared in a couple of other streams, like Minigun when he did his placement match.

No they did not. Check out inc's twitter....

You heard it! Day one of the beta and mech is the new death ball. Terran is broken and requires no skill. Get the pitch forks and torches, we are going to David Kim's house!!!!!


I didn't say it was broken, I said it was an a move blob. Which it is.

You don't have to balance test to know that thats fundamentally wrong.

Normal people were invited through the 1.5 contest that was held in June/July. 750 to be exact. I'm not sure about the op-ins though.

I know, it is the new death ball. I mean, on day one, when no one had any idea what they are doing, it is clear the HotS is broken in every way and terran is the new skill-less race of A-movers. I mean, when you have Thorzain vs some random kid and the professional player is able to A-move in a blob right over the non-professional, it is all the proof we need.

No one has answered for me yet.
HOW do Progamers get an invite? (I'm simply curious)
Does Blizzard have a spreadsheet of all the Progamer emails / account names?
Do they just give a key to all grand masters off the bat regardless?

How does Blizzard know what Artosis's account name is? That kind of stuff - I'm genuinely curious.

Surely not what all the long term, educated TL members were predicting, _surely_...._not_... ?!!


Nope. Mech isn't similar to bio in HOTS. Bio is mobile drop focused play while mech is splash damage map control play. You're a fool if you believe hots mech is amove. There's a lot of micro involved with tanks and hellions. You won't see anybody winning with amove mech in HOTS at a decent level.
