ummm, hallucinate from sentry? lol

Wouldn't be worth wasting the forcefields and guardian shields. Also there's a reason nobody does that now.

terran units look aesthetically retarded!


Protoss units look so damn cool and makes my constant Z/P decision even harder. I'm skeptical to how good they will actually be, plz beta soon.

Z units look and sound great!

Holy shit this looks awesome. I especially like the Swarm Host idea. Will create awesome matches, and then we'll see if my platinum protoss skills can hold em' off :D
Just when I thought I was out, Blizz pulled me back in..

I have a feeling the Oracle will replace the observer and the tempest replaces the carrier, the phoenix might just be removed altogether. Really curious about the replicant though, just makes me think of BLADE RUNNER so I guess it's all good

The SHREDDER!?

[image loading]


Its interesting how its traps (whatever they may be, bombs, banana peels) wont work if friendly units are close or at the zone where the traps are. That will make it pretty micro intensive

It seems like Blizzard learned some of their lessons. At least for zerg and terran, they're bringing back some of the things from BW that they stupidly removed. The viper has dark swarm. The swarm host can replace the lurker if done right. The warhound, if it's a more mobile thor, will be closer to the goliath. The shredder could replace the spider mine's function of a powerful AE attack that protects siege tanks against melee units.

It's protoss that I'm not sure they know what they're doing. The units look either gimmicky or just a boring 1a capital ship.

Terran is getting spider mines with the "Shredder". I played BW Terran and if so the shredder may make TvX mech in SC2 much more viable with space control. Might actually start race-picking as T once in a while now.

Oracle sounds like an Observer morph? Or maybe a replacement?

If those zerg units are in multiplayer, they have the potential to be insanely overpowered. It seems to me to be almost a certainty that Blizzard is planning to buff or eliminate other zerg units to compensate if they are really including those in multiplayer.

I think oracle + replicant is basically overseer and changeling buffed and ported to Protoss. I think it's logical. BLIZZ Y U TOY WITH MY EMOTIONS

I think the thor is gone, the marauder is gone, the carrier is gone, and the overseer is gone.

you mean you hope the marauder is gone. what reason would there be for it to be gone?

I'm imagining some crazy strategies coming out of this. TvZ will be insane with the Viper's pulling ability and the Shredder's "whirlwind of death." I imagine some absolutely crazy clutch cancels by progamers with Viper pulling enemy units into said whirlwinds.

Real excited!


SC2 is beginning to sound like a MOBA.

we don't know if this is all the units. Blizzard is hard too predict!

Remember guys, that only one unit was shown in the silluette.. Its very likely, that only 1 of these units will be in multiplayer, meaning that Terran gets Hellion-transformer, Zerg gets Swarm Lord, Protoss gets Tempest..
The first link of chain forged, the first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably.
