Also, does anyone else think that we're going to having to start to see huge clumps of overseers in every zerg army now that Protoss can cloak with a stargate (?) unit and terran can hide widow mines anywhere?

Locusts from the swarm host being able to shoot at air units is very interesting. I really was not expecting the swarm host to have an indirect air attack.

So far, Protoss has 100% winrate over Zerg, and out of every single Terran game we've seen, Terran has won all of them and lost all of them.

It's so much more fun this way.

Best post in this thread.

As for the footage, I like the concepts but we can't really sit here and accurately critique an unfinished product. Things look stupid now, Blizzard will go back, address it, Patch it etc.

Agreed. This looks like a game with style, more like BW

Not gonna make a opinion on what kennigit says with information from a browder interbview but it seems like everthing cool was kept for the other races except for terran. Have stopped playing sc2 from GM since last season, going to try HotS but more than likely im not going to keep playing it since they made terran so bad and one dimensional in every matchup.
Its just not fun.

I also think it seems likely that the upgraded Tempest range is 12 and not 22. If Vortex is out of the game seems like Tempest is designed to poke at BL's late late PvZ to create a back and forth tension between the two armies.

No ?

I see Teleport wich is used to teleport the Moma Core to other nexi, Energize, purify and Mass Recall

MotherShip isn't showed in any video is it ?

Guys, maybe the worker count for bases are only for observers and not for the players? Chill the fuck out and stop making conclusions based on incomplete evidence, will you?

I don't like the Mothership Core at all... Having the ability to mass recall from the get-go as a means of harassment is just too powerful. How is someone supposed to deal with that?

The rest seems okay, I liked the mines a lot, though there should be some way of destroying them before they blow up, that part where one mine destroys a colossus scared me.

It looks cool from protoss perspective, especially in early game. I think it will be easier to defend one or two base all in with mothership core. Vyper's abduct looks kinda... you know... :D I don't like the idea of Tempest that can shoot balls from miles away. I think Oracle should have detection ability, so it would be safer from cloacked attacks if you don't have robotics. Everything seems so nice. I really like swarm host, to gain map control or position, it's like tanks.

Oracle is going to ruin the game one way or another. Blocking off minerals is just a really really dumb concept. Having to basically keep an army at your base at all times just so you don't lose 30 seconds of mining is insane. Not to mention if there's no alert, you won't even get a "workers under attack" like most harassment. The cloaking and free vision are even more ridiculous. Why can't they make an observer if they want vision for the tempest?

It doesn't even matter which matchup it is, PvX just seems like it's going to be even dumber than before.

If tempest remains that infinite range with no dps totally useless unit, I would rather have the carrier.
What's the point of a unit which stands no chance against its natural counters vikings/corruptors ?

Besides, Blizzard balancing Starcraft 2 based on internal testing makes me shiver concerning Zerg started the 1/1 upgrade at the 19 min mark.
It's pretty obvious that these players are at the very best low master league players.
