I'm debating whether to get HOTS, but no longer feels the competitive side of SC too appealing right now... Clans and groups help the social aspect a lot. I remember back in WC3 I was in a sheep tag clan, good times. They've done minor things to help with custom games but it's still not up there with wc3. | ||

What really irks me about the custom map scene is that Blizzard would do much better by not doing anything at all and keeping its hands off the community... In SC2 it is much more heavy handed than in WC3, and the result is horrible | ||

 ) after an extended break with the release of HOTS. Before my break I mained as Zerg but am looking to spice things up a bit a try protoss.My question is; How do you feel of the current state of Zerg/protoss? which do you feel is better off? is PvP any better of a match-up then it was in WOL (I always skipped watching PvPs unless it was a final)? | ||

Overall its like: Protoss wins 59.6% of the time (non mirror) Terran wins 50.5% of the time (non mirror) Zerg wins 39.2% of the time (non mirror) As far as PvP goes I personally do not know. Source: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=400130 | ||

Source: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=400130 It's nice to see Terran finally getting out of that sub 40% win rate for once. Z seems to be struggling quite a bit. Wonder what the Z pros are struggling with the most? | ||

I got it from Amazon so I could get the beta key, and I recently got an email from them saying that it won't be delivered until the week after its official release. T_T | ||

I got it from Amazon so I could get the beta key, and I recently got an email from them saying that it won't be delivered until the week after its official release. T_T I'm pretty sure (no blue post for confirmation) but if you have a wings of liberty cilent you should be able to just play as soon as you enter in the key. A few days ago there was around 6-8 gbs of stuff that people could download from their WoL cilent. Some of the stuff was HotS stuff and was able to be datamined. Now, I'm not positive, but from this it seems plausible that you already have all the stuff you need. | ||
