Please, grappasc, could you just stop trolling this thread. It's not funny or anything, everybody saw your wonderful picture a dozen of times and you can just let it go now.

Anybody here knows when the next silhouette will be revealed? Is it some kind of weekly or monthly thing?

To address the "reveal in order of the expansions" thing... Is there any reason to do so?

It doesn't counter the claim made by some that Blizz favors Terran. "Naw dude, they're doing it in the order of the games." Why? What's the purpose of that? If anything, this is a Zerg expansion. The order is meaningless.

Let's be honest, this does look Terran favored. Because there's no real reason to go in the order of the expansions. It would be MUCH more intuitive to start with the race being highlighted.

I don't think it's on Blizzard's best interest to have a game designed to be an esport that has imbalances between races.

I'm not suggesting intentional imbalance. But I do think their vision is clouded for whatever reason.

People already call this game Terrancraft, and now that, finally, the Zerg chapter is in the spotlight... "Hey, I know! Let's arbitrarily do it in the order that starts with Terran."

The reasons for this I can only speculate. Maybe a focus group revealed that Terran is better for marketing. I don't claim to know. But I definitely see bias (and I'm not even a Zerg player).

I think you need to take a step back and realize "why the fuck do i care?".

They do it in the order of the campaigns because they want to.
Would it change anything if they had a different order?
I don't know, I'm not blizzard. Go ask them.
I hope this answer is satisfying because it's the only one that doesn't include assumptions and/or lies.

I think you are really a bit too picky on this one. It creates more hype anyway if the toss unit gets revealed last, because everyone is curious about this.

I stepped back and realized "I care about StarCraft 2 enough that I post on a forum about it." Why are you here if you don't care?

I'd say there's something wrong with you if you don't question anything.

"Because they want to." That's convenient.

Face it, there's no reason to do it this way, and coincidentally (?) Terran just happens to be first in everything.

I think the people who got trashed earlier for making this observation had a fair point at the very least.

Marauder with shields AND land mines!

Seriously, relax, not like Blizzard won't release an OP Zerg unit or that'll dominate the field when HoTS is released, that is standard computer game plot since... forever.

I do think that people might be making rather too much fuss over the order of the reveal of silhouettes of upcoming units. It's not like they're only releasing new Terran units.

Brotocol I think you need to take your tinfoil hat off, your blizzard favors terran conspiracy doesn't make any sense, and like all conspiracy theories your basing it off something arbitrary like an order of reveal, which actually means nothing...
