I think the site went up mid-June, a little under one and a half month before the game's release.
Glad you're resurrecting the thread. I'll try to contribute as well. Some of this might have some spoilers, so read on at own risk.
What do we know so far? Well, anyone who's opened the beta editor knows the tilesets:
Char2=(HotS) Char Fortress (Volcanic)
CharDunes=(HotS) Char Marsh
DesertWorld=(HotS) Phaethon (Desert)
DominionLab=(HotS) Umoja (Installation)
HybridLabInner=(HotS) Skygeirr Lab (Space Platform)
HybridLabOuter=(HotS) Skygeirr Platform (Space Platform)
HybridLabXelNaga=(HotS) Immortal Forge (Space Platform)
IceWorld=(HotS) Kaldir (Ice)
KorhalCity=(HotS) Korhal City
KorhalOutskirts=(HotS) Korhal Wastes
KorhalPlatform=(HotS) Korhal Platform
MoebiusStation=(HotS) Moebius Station (Space Platform)
PrisonShip=(HotS) Moros (Installation)
PurifierWorld=(HotS) Purifier World (Urban)
Starship=(HotS) Daelaam Ark (Starship)
Zerus=(HotS) Zerus (Jungle)
Some of these can be seen in
this video. The Char Fortress is obviously in there. It belongs to Warfield, of course, as is confirmed here:

The platform with the yellow atmosphere is Skygeirr, a Hybrid Lab. The Char Dunes is most likely the Za'gara mission. Phaethon, being a desert, can be seen in the Akilon Wastes ladder map:

Kaldir and Zerus (it can be seen in the
third battle report) we know. The Korhal Platform was seen briefly in the trailer. Someone played around with in the Map Art thread:

The Starship, Daelaam Ark, can be seen in Star Station (I think - it might be Moros).
Here's a tileset, though I don't know which one:

Here's a brief new description from the
pre-order site: "You are Sarah Kerrigan, former Queen of Blades. Once the most feared entity in the galaxy, you now wait in a cell in the depths of a high-security research laboratory. Before the murderous forces of the Terran Dominion close in, you must plot your escape to the dark reaches of space… and reclaim your living empire at the Heart of the Swarm. "
I also found this picture:

That's probably from Korhal, which, by the way, is seemingly not the ending. My guess is it all ends on Zerus.
