Hey guys,

I've gathered the opinions of players such as White-ra, iNcontrol, BlinG and others about the upcoming expansion Heart of the Swarm. You can have a look here:

http://www.team-dignitas.net/articles/blogs/Starcraft-II/578/Heart-Of-The-Swarm-the-pro-players-opinion/

Here is a preview:
Cloud: 'I think the expansion will be a mess and blizzard won't be able to balance and control what they are about to do. I have very little expectations and I gave up on sc2 since it seems so many bad players can have decent results by just abusing the gamble aspect of this game.'

Any feedback is welcome.

ps: apologies for my previous post with the lack of information in the OP, hope this is better.

I wonder why there aren't any new updates on HotS. Blizzcon is like 6 weeks ago now, so they have gone through an entire new set of iterations for the new units and such. I wish they would have updates every time they did some relevant change.

Whether that is good for the game or bad makes me nervous as a guy who plays this game every day all day and on the biggest stages. I hope the transition is as smooth as possible but like I said, it just makes me nervous. The stuff proposed however seems pretty cool.. especially if you are a Protoss player. But we will see!'


Interesting that he likes the protoss units. With T and Z units, I'm thinking "If they tweak things, it could be neat" but there's absolutely nothing about Protoss I'm looking forward to

Cloud is a baby. And so is anyone that thinks that they can predict how HotS will turn out. =/
Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.

I think like cloud as well. Really hope they stabilize the game and stop making it more gimmicky. Especially in regards to protoss, like white-ra said.

Cloud's opinion is laughable.

Thanks for compiling the list.

No offense to Cloud but it is getting silly how all of the mid tier foreign players are the ones who whine that the game is too random and the skill cap is too low so there is no point in competing. Unless you are beating mvp or nestea in gsl finals arguments like that are completely irrelevant when it comes to actually competing in the game. Seriously stop using how "flawed the game is" to explain away a lack of results. These kinds of comments always only come from the players who play seriously but who are never seen in the top of tournaments.

Hmm a divide in the community could happen if the game isn't balanced enough and I would have to agree with some of the pros about there concerns as it will change the metagame entirely and will have to learn new strategies that work since the old ones won't always work.

It probably sucks to see all these foreign Z/P having success but Terran stuck in the mud. Especially when you put in just as much time and hard work as those foreign Z/P counterparts.

pretty simply, blizzcon is the place where they show how far they are, other then that they don't show off every single change, they show things if they are almost finished, which is now done by doing beta testing. So there won't be alot of informations about it until the next blizzcon.
You shouldn't be spoiled from the indie devs, that will tease out any change they make. Otherwise there would also be no reason to make a blizzcon at all.

To be fair, I've heard similar comments from multiple tourny winners.
