did you mean it's true that the hands-on is on 25 (it is true) or did you mean it is true that we will get the info only on may 31st, or can you give us some coverage tomorrow? can you say when it is? i mean what time is it when it begins? | ||

Judging from random tidbits of info. it appears that whatever is going on is going on pretty much now, but we won't hear about it until the 31st. | ||

So everyone gets a shot at releasing the information mostly at once, they embargo it for X time. | ||

TL;DR lurkers provide alot of pushing power and defense power for zerg mid game. something they otherwise really dont have without lurkers. for zerg lurkers do what cols do for toss. for zerg lurkers do what siege tanks do for terran. get it now? there a long ranged siege unit with a linear splash radius. something zerg doesnt have with the exception of brood lords which take insanely long to tech to. | ||

It's really stupid that Mech in SC2 doesn't have a good response to air at all because Thor air damage sucks. They should've just kept it at 40 as it was in Beta. | ||

I actually think blizzard needs to both add and remove units if they want to add units because there are already so many units. I would be happy with 1 new unit and some cool new mechanics that have a good skill requirement. | ||

With the variety of units and buildings the Terrans had in the SP but not the MP, there will definitely be several new units - question is how many of those will transfer to the MP. | ||
