You can shut down reapers with marauders, didn't you play at release? /shrug.

So, we're gonna watch HOTS streams and even tournaments for like 5 months but not able to play the game? (Now it's already more HOTS streams than WOL)

It's a strange situation to me. HOTS beta is very different from D3's, since in D3 beta you can only level up to 12lvl and the game ends in the skeleton king. But with SC2, multiplayer game is an actual 'full game'. Or say, we don't watch or play WOL campaign everyday, so WOL multi is the 'actual game' for us. Also, in early 2010 during the WOL beta, streaming is not so popular as in today. I don't know. It's kinda new to me.

Or having a bunker. Reaper don't do shit against buildings anymore. There are lots of options to defend against them, and I personally love that they are somewhat viable again, in the current WoL meta they are so useless beyond reaper expand in TvT (with a single reaper lol, variants with up to three are rare and already so risky that you could consider them cheese).
Reaper changes are good and needed imo.

Mutas seem a good choice, since locusts cant's shoot up.

Locusts can't shoot up.

was wathcing drewbies stream, 6 warhound brings an immortal down to red, I assume either they ignore shields like other spells, or just have more than one attack per spell.

I don't understand why stephano isn't doing mutas against that army comp on early/midgame. So many vipers to only pull a few units looks like a waste imho. Infestors would be better paired with swarmhosts to root winhounds.

Don't forget to get everyone you know to play HOTS so this game we love called Starcraft will live on. Every little bit helps. ^^

Yes, he did make too many Vipers. Because of their consume ability, you really don't need much, like 3-5 is enough. You should constantly hit and run, with the Viper pull, resulting in you killing some units then backing off. He ended up with 4000 minerals and 100 gas because he made like 10 Vipers that just stand there and do nothing because he don't have enough firepower to take down the Warhounds. But hey, it is the first day of the beta, they still try different things.

Oh, nice pick! It's the same placement as it was on Blistering sands, but the map itself is way better, for me at least, dunno how about the others tho

As far as I know, that map was called Blistering Sands?

Besides, the backrocks were the best thing about Blistering Sands .
