I guess instead of waiting to release a beta for the HotS blizzard shop thing they instead decided to release this arcade to test it out, sounds pretty cool though

Disappointed at teh leave match = loss thing. Only reason i've had to do that is because the interface freezes up on me and won't let me cancel in time.

Some other very nice improvements:

Chat no longer scrolls to the bottom of a chat window when a new message is added if a player has previously scrolled up in the chat window. (god this was annoying as hell)
The Invite to Party button can no longer be spammed repeatedly. (no more spam-invite?)
Fixed an issue where the “You have voice chat disabled” message would occasionally display in-game despite having voice chat enabled.
A player who logs out of the game during a match countdown now receives a point loss. The other player now receives a message that the opposing player has canceled the queue and neither receives a point bonus nor penalty.
Fixed an issue where pausing a game and surrendering would occasionally cause the Score Screen to display an error message.
Active Creep Tumors no longer display as dormant if their Spawn Tumor action was canceled during the spawn animation.
The following new slash commands have been added :
A new Quick Nav tab has been added to the bottom-left corner of the Battle.net user interface. This is a customizable dashboard that allows players to bind up to five Battle.net screens to the F1-F5 keyboard shortcuts for speedier navigation.
Alliance colors have been updated to propagate to the entire UI. (maybe fixes colors for 2on2 casters as khaldor mentioned)

Baneling auto-unburrow currently doesn't work against Collossi. They fixed that.

Nice, I was kinda skeptical about the arcade thingy but so far stuff looks good.

I love the open games thing.

What do the /commands mean when referencing "targeted player"? Is that like an in-game command where you have a player's units targeted, or is that just referencing the traditional "insert player name here" when you use the command?

Well I'd asume it has to do with custom games and not something that will affect normal games in any way.

Overall I think the screenshots looks pretty sweet.

Something you really can't tell from the screenshots but the interface is super fluid now. In the old interface it sometimes felt like it went rather sluggish. Here it's super responsive. It feels great.

Looks pretty good and improved, atleast they try to implement chat channels now. Better than the old one, I'd say we have reached battle.net 0.5 when this patch comes out.

Also There's a new Quick Nav function, that is also bound to F1-F5 where you can assign whatever you want to these slots, kind of neat.

Great improvement over the previous UI! Admittedly, that's not saying a whole lot, but a step in the right direction is always appreciated.

One minor quibble: ladder play seems to be an afterthought in the current UI, there's no place where it's prominently advertised (unless I missed it). Hum.

You got this ball , because you dont finish your download , and game download files thats you need to play in real time.

Finish game download to 100% and then hit play , and no more ball for you.
