Check it out guys: Battle Report 2

Thank you Starcraft2.net.pl! (and Starfeeder for reporting it!)

Update:

Apparantly Blizzard posted it on their site shortly after! When I looked, it wasn't even announced on the main page yet...

I suggest you wait for a HQ release if you got the patience.

A few thoughts I have about the BR 2:
  • Units are much easier to spot now. I had no issues with counting how many zerglings were out for an example. Even with a low quality stream.
  • No big battles. That may be due to SC 2 is a more aggressive game than SC/BW, or more likely that the players in the Battle Report weren't exactly macro gods.
  • Banelings seems more useful than I thought. Make ambush attacks from zerg players much more potential than only having Lurker traps.
  • I like Hunter Seeker Missile but it might be a bit overtuned atm. Nothing I worry about though seeing as most of the balance changes will happen in the beta.

The maps seem to me to not have proper terrain for large battles, too many narrow chokes in the middle. Very bad map design imo. Sure it's cool as a novelty, but I think Blizzard still doesn't know how to make good maps.

Map design is most likely the culprit now when I think about it. I can't remember any big battles at Blood Bath back in the days either.

I thought the map was fine for a Battle Report. It showed a few neat map features and it was action packed. I'm sure though that e-sports maps will be a bit larger.

Yeah man, totally, dude. It's common knowledge that people are born with innate knowledge about RTS Games & Starcraft. Everyone knows this stuff, why is he telling us things everyone knows? Everyone's born with it after all? Silly Blizzard, they're so amateurish. They don't know anything about people.

I love these battle reports. They are really great and the commentators are really enthusiastic and everything.

Still, it's kind of funny that the forces don't really grow as the game progresses. These players are just to weak.

No, he is simply doing what he must and what I, and hopefully most, would have done as well. He's trying to cater to all audiences.
