Awesome, thanks a lot! I'm guessing who guys can't/won't write about how disappointing this SC2 stream is :o

Hey guys, I'm the Managing Editor at MLG and part of the team at Blizzcon right now. Hit me up on Twitter and let me know what you want to see covered. We're looking to put the MLG spin on Blizzcon, which means reviewing things with competitive play and the hardcore community in mind, as well as getting interviews with the players you want to hear from.
Feedback on content we've done is also appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you so much MLG for the coverage!

Any plans to interview the four people at Blizzcon that matter most? I am of course talking about Jaedong, Bisu, Fantasy and Jangbi.

That is definitely high up on the list of priorities for us. They are incredibly hard to track down, if they're even in the convention hall at all, that is. Anything around them seems to be very hush hush at this point.

Yea, what the fuck, they get the 4 most famous BW players at blizzcon, and its seems like they are fucking invisible somehow

Well to be honest they aren't as well known to the crowd there as you would think.

I know a lot about sc2 but never heard of these guys. Heard they were good at brood war tho.

Pretty much agree 100% with everything WhiteRa said.

how will I survive without changelings?

Yep, me too. But recall on the nexus is going to be great... they just have to tweak it to make it not OP, and it has the potential to fix so many problems Protoss has.

In particular, I think the recall will reduce base races. I fucking hate base races.
I don't think the recall will be that OP. It can only be used defensively. Terran and zerg already have the option of evacuating their army with medivacs and overlords/nydus.

You kidding? Medivacs can be sniped by stalkers, potentially taking everything inside withint. Nydus has next to no health and units have to steam in 1 by 1. If they nydus is killed, the units yet to enter are good as dead. Both of them cost minerals, gas, and tech. Recall is free go home card that is FAAAAAR superior to any other method of evac.

Medivacs and nydus can be used offensively. Unless I build a proxy Nexus, recall can only be used to bring back units out of battle. Recall has an energy cost right now. Maybe it should have a small mineral/gas cost as well. But I really like the overall concept. So far, as a protoss player, the Nexus abilities are the only thing I like about the HotS.

You're not supposed to like it, as long as you buy Blizzard's products.

Yeah, we really didn't need anything for mass air. We have storm, I didn't think that that was a problem. Protoss needs help up in early to mid game and they don't need these gimiky units.

dont be too judgmental at this point guys, we gonna find actual problems and imbalances in the Beta, no one played even close to enough to make an objective review.

That interview was fucking nuts, the interpreter was ridiculously amped.

Are we gonna see any interviews with Jaedong, Fantasy, Jangbi or Bisu? I'm pretty sure Slasher mentioned about this.

Rofl at people agreeing 100% with WhiteRa!
Zealots with more hp?! better abilities for stalkers!?
Are you freaking kidding me? Those ideas will 100% break the game as zealots and stalkers atm are some of the best and most balanced protoss units.
I believe he wants stronger early game units cause of how hard it is to defend an early push from a terran opponent but imo its not protoss units that are the problem....its that damn marine!

So terrans can have a hellion with more HP, a warhound that does extra damage against all mechanical units (read: all protoss units except zealots). Zergs can have the "new and improved" hydras, swarmlords, scary ass ultras with charge, banelings that can move underground and a new unit that is basically designed to counter colossi. But got forbid they make zealots and stalkers a little better because that would completely break the game.
Right.

Yes it would. ALL new zerg improvements and units are pretty late tier. Stronger zealots and stalkers would ruin the early game in PvZ.
Tbh that should be really easy to figure out.

Direct quote from WhiteRa:
"This is not enough. And it's all really expensive, high tech. We need upgrades [for existing units]. Like for the Tier 1, Tier 2 units you use all game, to make them work lategame. More HP for Zealots, better upgrades for Stalkers, cheaper Immortals with abilities."
Emphasis mine.
