Why is people so stoked after hearing some sounds? Those sounds could be so much. I don't like to speculate. I really think that it could be from the cinematic thingy blizzard will show at Blizzcon. If its a new unit.. it would be hiliarious if the unit is completely broken like all the new units they tend to make (it would not surprise me). But I hope it's a good unit that actually makes me want to come back again to the game.
I think that you're underestimating the extent to which the community really cares about StarCraft. Chill mentioned it once back in ~2010 in TLOwnage where "Blizzard could change the colour of the Maurader's Boots and we'd argue about it for ages." It's the third part of a long-awaited sequel to what I presume is the childhood of a lot of the users here.
A new unit would have to be super hype, but I think that this more or less confirms LotV instead, given the length of the clip.

At what point during Blizzcon would a LOTV announcement take place? Before the finals?

Sounds like a zerg unit's voice I'd say. Then a rather hitech missile sound, not exactly what I'd expect from a zerg missile, after which it explodes and makes this baneling explosion like sound, especially at the very end.
I'd say it's either a zerg artillery unit, or it's a LotV cinematic with a terran unit targeting and destroying a zerg unit.

It is totally the baneling cannon :D
|
Infestor merging, rofl. They should add 1 more unit to terran, zerg got enough in arsenal.
|
Going with baneling launcher purely from the acid sound.
That's ridiculous that it would be several units in one, imagine the debriefing from Blizzard on that "great job guys, you guessed them all, it was a new unknown zerg unit roaring and doing nothing else notable, then the new reaver scarab launch sound and a marauder farting, excellent work cadets"
Campaign sound is also bizarre, there is absolutely nothing to hype about campaign sounds.

Opening Ceremony, they've showmatches of StarCraft scheduled, it would make no sense to have shomatches while there are the world finals at the same time. Probably they will have showmatches with the players into the finals to showcase the new units (or at least I hope, I don't want to see David Kim destroying Blizzard's employees again)

I think that sound is from campaign unit from LOTV. Which means we will see/hear LOTV announcment in da Blizzcon.

On stream? And I hope he's correct. Zerg needs something LIKE the swarm host but it needs to be changed up. Good move Blizzard

If this SH replacement is a long-range artillery unit I'm a bit scared of what it's going to be tbh. I feel like the SH could stay in the game with a rework to make it a more mobile, less range unit.

I had the idea of somehow making it so that the swarm host can't stay burrowed in the same area for a long period of time. Would force a bit more mobility and thought when using them. Perhaps make it so that after say 3 rounds they can't make locust in that spot anymore for 5 minutes. Would help.

That would be quite complicated to manage though. But forcing more mobility is definetely the way to go. I think the good thing with SHs is that they favor fighting all over the map instead of deathball vs deathball, and positionnal play. This could be emphasized by the SH having less range, a quicker burrow/unburrow and move speed, and perhaps manual locust firing (locusts being stronger to compensate)

eh, not enough to get really excited about this

If you want to go that route it would be better to have slower spawn times on locusts over a period of burrowed time.

I actually like that as an idea. It would make games a bit more dynamic.

Hearing this kind of thing out of game context is really hard to tell, it is definitely all three races, but who knows.

That would be a good way too. After 5 rounds the spawns become so slow you have to move them. I like it.

Gotta say that's a pretty interesting idea
