Nice! I will wait until they are actually on my computer and working before I give too much praise, but here is my list of what I like most!

1) Multiplayer replay! Great! Finally I can not only watch my 1on1 matches and think about what to do better, I can also watch my team games with my team mates and discuss what to do better! Not to mention that I can watch 1on1 together with other people and discuss stuff!
2) Global. Will be fun to play with some old BW friends (you still there lemonwalrus? :D ) and have a try at KR to see just exactly how much lower I wil get ranked.
3) Clan support. While not sure exactly what that includes, I hope there will be some fun stuff I can do with my IRL sc2 friends.
4) Unranked laddering. Not sure if this will cure my ladder fear or not. Very interesting to see how this will work out. Does the games still affect my MMR btw? And if not, and I start off-racing, does that mean that I will get beaten to pieces until my off-race is to the level of my main race MMR?
5) Resume from replays. I dont play tourneys myself, and teh few times games are dropped in big tourneys I watch, it hasn't bothered me that much tbh. A bit embarrassing maybe, but not really so bothering for me.
6) Multi language support. Meh.

Good stuff!!!
I might actually play more seriously again if they implement all this stuff. Well, i will play HoTS anyway, but I might play more with the unranked matchmaking and clan support.

All the ideas are superb, and exactly what people have been asking for for ages.

Great job.

Great stuff, but I feel bad for all the players who had to wastea ton of money on all the accounts on different servers.

So 3 options and 2 problems for unranked play:

1 Will you be able change your MMR with unranked games? - and be able to tank your MMR on purpose without changing your ranking?.

2 MMR doesn't change for unranked? can you buy a second account and smurf unranked games?

3 Maybe you'll have an unranked MMR and a ranked MMR that are both tracked but completely seperate.

Better late than never. Good job, Blizzard. But still, I think on the price for the expansion... Doesn't feel good.

with `global play`, are they gonna give everyone an account on every server region, practically?

Obviously there will have to be some way to track MMR for unranked, but I expect it to be hidden from the player, so that if they lose they don't drop leagues or anything.

Hopefully it just encourages people to play macro-games, and not like ladder cheese matches :/.

Now I know why Blizzard shipped WoL without all these features. Of course.

If that's true then unranked games are quickly going to be a place where it's all masters players shitting on the casual players coming in with their ladder anxiety. Once the word gets out, it will be abandoned, too. Doesn't seem like a good solution.

I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the clan system. Kinda sucks knowing that I've wasted money on an NA account when it'll be void at release of HoTS, except for a smurf. But with an unranked league I don't even need a smurf.

Why would a masters player buy a new account to play unranked matches vs bronze people? That's the same as joining a custom game right now, except you dont need to buy a whole new game for it.
