smallmemory 13 Posts September 12 2012 21:01 GMT #1 Hey, since the HOTS beta started I have been working with pro players to upload cool strats, demonstrations of the new units and full games from their live streams. Some examples of these videos include: HotS Balance Update #5 New Ability Demonstration Rotterdam's Oracle Storm Drop Destiny's Defending with Collapsible Rocks Sheth and Destiny showing effectiveness of Blinding Cloud Swarm Host + Spine Crawler Rush Reaper's New Combat Awareness Ability (Vision Up Cliffs) I also made a playlist of all the HOTS videos which I will update with new videos: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPUIYbXwJ30uALuLof16WN4Qkw5rlkU27 I hope everyone enjoys the videos!

GinDo 3327 Posts September 12 2012 22:02 GMT #4 Blinding cloud looks so sweet. And I play Terran. I hope they keep it how it is. So much potential. But, tanks need buff, drop it to 2 food, serious.

Stam 24 Posts September 13 2012 20:59 GMT #10 I think blinding cloud has a lot of potential. Can't wait to see it used with other army compositions, especially Ultras and Mutas

Chronos. United States805 Posts September 13 2012 22:45 GMT #12 I was wondering why all these looked familiar at first, I'm subscribed to your Youtube channel =p I want the HotS beta so bad though! Seeing the pros doing all these crazy strats look so awesome.

Cabinet Sanchez Australia1097 Posts September 14 2012 07:31 GMT #13 The blinding cloud was good but the collapsable rocks was amazing, so good! I knew it had potential. The hate against rocks is ridiculous.

zimms Austria561 Posts September 14 2012 07:51 GMT #14 I love Blizzard's reluctance to reintroduce BW units/spells to the races. The Defiler had Dark Swarm? Well, we can't give that to Zerg, give them the Corsair's Disruption Web! :D

shizaep Canada2920 Posts September 14 2012 15:01 GMT #15 Some truly sick plays here, was literally beautiful to see. I really love this beta period, where everyone is hungry to try out new things, people aren't quite certain how to react and they do what their instinct tells them. I think eventually things will be figured out and the metagame will once again recess into a by-the-book play. Though everything minus the warhound looks great in HotS right now and I hope we will continue to see more exploration/exploitation of the new units/abilities/terrain. The Blinding Cloud looks like the coolest mico ability imo. I think the range nerf was a tad too hasty by blizz, it's something like 1.5 now? I definitely think they should have given it a tiny bit more time to let people figure out how to deal with it to see if it was truly op...

Yonnua United Kingdom2331 Posts September 14 2012 21:56 GMT #16 Have any players toyed around with taking "Spawn locusts" off of autocast to set up neat traps (e.g. hold lurker). I don't even know if it's possible but from what I've seen it could be. Just imagine 2 flanks of swarm hosts, and when a terran player moves between them locusts just suddenly come out of nowhere and auto-surround. Would be so cool.

Fishriot United States621 Posts September 15 2012 09:07 GMT #17 Very cool post, the collapsible rocks/fungal combo is awesome lol

cLAN.Anax United States2847 Posts September 15 2012 19:29 GMT #18 Hmmm, I never cared for the Reaper change, but now I dislike it even more after seeing TheStC's game. That Reaper did practically no damage to either the Nexus or the rocks. But ah well, I'm complaining.... Great post. Love to see the ingenuity of players already creating great games.
