Here is a very short summary of what's pertinent to this from Flashpoint, which will make things a bit easier to understand: + Show Spoiler + After rescuing Kerrigan on Char, Raynor, Valerian and the rest of the Raiders take off to Deadman's Port, with Mengsk right behind them. Once there, they meet up with Narud, who works with Valerian. Raynor's bartender, Cooper, betrays them, and the merceneries there nearly have them captured, but with the help of Mira Han, they escape. Narud wants to take Kerrigan to a Moebius lab, but she is reluctant. She caves in eventually. Once there, she is put in a lab. But Narud betrays them. It is revealed that he is working with Mengsk, who still wants Kerrigan dead. Raynor and Valerian evade capture, and Mengsk opens fire on the docked Hyperion, with Cooper seizing the opportunity to escape to his employer. Kerrigan senses something is wrong from her lab, and kills a ghost sent to assassinate her. She starts to regain her strength, killing Hybrids that Narud sends after them. They all escape. Now Narud is with Mengsk. Valerian proposes they go to Umoja. Having accidentially killed Annabelle (one of the female Hyperion crew members, whom you can spot in WOL), Kerrigan agrees that she needs to be studied. The book ends on Umoja, with Kerrigan alone in her chamber, swearing revenge on Mengsk. The HOTS opening cinematic begins there. The lab Kerrigan is in is on Umoja. This is why I am so certain Blackstone and Kerrigan is not directly related. The scientists in Project Blackstone are going to be working on Hybrids. | ||

There are a lot of artworks that were made by him, and not just SC2 related, even some Diablo 3 pictures. Such a talented artist. | ||

I found that odd as well, though I guess reading Flashpoint won't be vital to playing HOTS, just as reading any of the other novels isn't. However, if you like lore, I recommend it, especially since it's got so many central characters. | ||

No wait, he just said new HotS unit... and if you played WoL campaign, you would see plenty of old/new units that aren't in multiplayer. So this could still be the case. | ||

Why would Blizzard divert attention from the HotS release with a WoL F2P model? Wouldn't they rather try to sell a product, namely HotS? | ||

They've never been known as the more brilliant decision makers in the scheme of things; maybe they're trying to rope in some F2P enthusiasts to then get them excited enough to buy HotS. Who knows. | ||
