why in godsname does it take so long to release this stupid battle report?? They really can't show us some more content?

Maybe they were polishing some stuff and were looking for good battle report?

The only thing the last two battlereports showed was how retardedly unbalanced some of their new units were.

I don't think Bio will die out, i do think biomech will become way more effective. Now that's what i'm looking forward too.


Blizz has said they want both options to be viable... so we'll wait ^^

Battle Reports are orchestrated games where the marketing guys say to the players "Use all the new units, and don't finish each other off until you've used every new spell and ability." They play several ones until they find one good enough to cast over.

Absolutely. I m eager to know what is the possible metagame changes in HOTS. Definitely need that announcement
Marine is Terran strongest unit but it might be Terran's biggest weakness. Bcos of Marine so OP, other Terran unit regrettably have to be weak..

Man i was so frustrated when we didn't get to see it at the MLG, will be interesting to see it now!
Furthermore, I think the Collosi should be removed! (Zorgaz -Terran/AbrA-Random/Zorg-Dota2) Guineapigs <3

Time to witness the glory of the TvP mech a-move. Wanna take bets on whether the Terran's going to build tanks while meching?

Tanks will still suck against Protoss, as Immortals and Chargelots still exist. Warhounds and Battlehellions will make Mech viable i guess.

Let's see if unit A counters unit B once again...and eventually countered by unit C. This would be terrible, as strict 200/200 compositions would be necessary to go into a fight.
This is the case right now with the necessity of lategame ghosts, vikings and medivacs in some strict numbers.
the game is the game

Is this going to be 'walk mass stalkers into mass warhounds' or similarly orchestrated set of battles?
I'd really would like to learn more about the match-up as it looks pretty poorly so far in HotS custom.
I'm just not sure if they would show anything even remotely resembling a real game.

Please change the title, it's misleading. I actually shut off the game when I saw the title, I enter and all I see is an announcement. (FUUUUU)

Tanks just need support that is good against chargelots and immortals.

Tanks are actually quite good against Protoss units, they scale incredibly well and can tear apart even an army of immortals when you have enough of them (a small handful of ghosts is always nice to have though). The problem is that your Tanks will get torn to pieces if they aren't well-supported, which is something difficult to do right now (though if you can do it, you'll win most any direct engagement with a Protoss army).

In Brood War, Tanks had Vultures to complement them. I think that the Warhound and Battle hellion will serve as excellent supports for Tanks come Heart of the Swarm.

Warp prisms will still be a problem, but widow mines will help greatly with that.

I actually really hope they keep Carriers in Heart of the Swarm, they're currently one of the best late-game answers to mech and I think they'll become much more relevant in the expansion when many Terrans start going mech.

Looking really forward to this battle report!

This seems thread worthy, but OP should make sure to post a link to the actual battle report when it actually comes out.

If they want mech to be viable against Protoss, then why not just un-nerf the Thor...

To be fair, the thread title is a bit misleading.

This just seems like bad news to me as they probably wouldn't be battle reporting it up if beta was coming in the next few weeks (you know, for summer?)
With my luck it will come out right in the thick of my internship...
Guess who`s special?!

I vote for the warhound/ battle helion death ball, maybeeee with 2 or 3 tanks .

I'm expecting to be disappointed by what they will call "mech".

This is kind of cool! Does anyone know if day9 is now working with blizzard in a professional capacity? He seems to have moved a bit further away from the casting gigs and more towards blizzard.

It's just natural to build some tanks when you go mech. Tanks are always useful no matter what. Massing them may not be the best choice but I don't expect them to not to be built at all.
