Sure, it will be completely free (and that means, complete access) with the new patch.

Hey Beasty, what's your assessment of Starbow so far? What do you like the most? Broad question, I know, would just love to hear even more positive feedback xD. What is your favorite matchup so far, - and your least? Favorite unit composition? Anything you haven't tried yet that you'd like to experiment with?

Really love your stream <3.

Beasty archons hover which is why mines can't detonate on them <3.

Starbow looks really great so far, I really really really like it

The thing I like the most is that any race can win at any point in the game, terrans have an actual late game and there's more than one way to deal with things and both bio and mech are viable! oh my favorite thing actually is that after 10-15min there's fights EVERYWHERE on the map :D multitasking is good skill to have =)

I don't have favorite matchup or least favorite because I haven't played enough games yet.
Favorite unit composition science vessel, tank, vulture, goliath <3
I haven't really experimented with ghosts yet but I will try to do so as soon as I get better at the game.

Funny thing is, every race has some new things to play with.
Protoss has new Stalkers and the Sentinel.
Zerg has changed Vipers and Roaches.
Terran has new Marauders and changed spells on all casters.

To be honest, the thing with fewest changes from BW is probably Terran mech due to how solid that composition is.
Go try StarBow on the Arcade. TL thread: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=440661

Both Terran Mech and BIO are viable? Is that true Beasty? I am currently watching you streaming and you are playing Mech 100% and its because you like it or because its the best comp to go? I really would like to know that BOTH are viable.

I saw in the thread Idra's 2 hatch muta was very strong against mech openers. Have you found anything against it? Or is that build not really a problem?

How do you feel about zerg having both banes and lurkers? Personally to me it feels like overkill, it gives zerg so much ground based AOE vs short/medium range units with low/medium HP, i.e. bio.

From watching I get the feeling that removing banes might help making bio viable in TvZ without affecting other matchups too much.

I think banes should be removed, no real need early game, they are causing trouble mid-late game vs bio yeah.

Idra and I were testing a lot of things vs 2 hatch muta which is why I lost many games in a row. I found something to deal with them!

I am now installing Starter Edition SC2 to some of my networked PCs, I manage an internet cafe here. What Im going to do is just add my real friends as a friend in bnet so we can "LAN" party all day playing Starbow.Such a nice thing to have Starbow free to play.

I'm wonder though if Blizzard will leave Starbow (and similar mods like SC2BW or OneGoal) free2play, since they emulate Starcraft.
They already moved some threads for Starbow on b.net out of Arcade, right?

I don't see a downside. Since there's no ladder, getting people hooked on one of those arcade games will probably serve to get people to pony up for the game to play an RTS with a ladder.
