The skins can be previewed on NA currently and I have to say the new Terran unit skins absolutely have little TL horse logos on them.

It's not exactly a TL logo but surely that's the intended association.

That's tough to say for certain. The general Knight chess piece symbol is often used in marketing.
I have a marketing piece for one of my products that displays a knight chess piece with a caption " Part Work Horse .. Part Strategist"
Also, "The Knights of Tyrador" phrase seems to indicate its part of the Starcraft lore.

Well, given the long history of TL in the Starcraft franchise, at the very least this is a nod. If it's unintentional that's just funny.
However, it's not a horse, it's actually a unicorn. I noticed when looking at the decal.

No building-skins? Terrible idea. We need more building-skins.
Btw. Since the patch many people can't start the game. Had this problem myself. Now I can start the game but it always crashes after 1v1.
Terrible.

Nothing. But as I said. Now I can start it but the game crashes after 1v1.

Where are you guys seeing the skins? in-game?

The game crashes constantly for most if not all mac users. Great patch!

How does it work watching streamers etc for rewards etc? I think my periods of inactivity have generally coincided with previous warchests
