just curious, How exactly is the Roach (now a damage soaker which does not regenerate while above ground) a counter to hellions? Or do you mean Hydra/Roach combo?

cause they are armored, high health units that take almost no dmg from the hellions yet deal full damage to them in return.

i'm thinking that keeping the choke blocked against the early lings prevents the zerg aggression. if it really takes 4-8 lings to kill a zealot then blocking the choke with zealots and throwing stalkers behind them keeps the forces at bay (especially when you cant see the stalkers, and therefore cant hit them) then colossus behind that and you have splash+range to take out the hydras who have less range than they did in sc1.)

for terran, the wall in with depots will keep the lings out, then add tanks after the marines to get the hydras.

just need a wall that the zerg cant break while you tech to something you can use to roll them.

Hi guys, I'm the author of the second article. Cool to see some good favorable responses from TL and I look forward to input on SC2 Zerg from the more experienced SC1 players that managed to get some SC2 games in

I always enjoy reports which focus on the ebb and flow of games, even if they aren't totally even. It gives a much better picture of what the game is like, and what decisions have to be made. Great work.

Quick question for anyone who played the recent build.. Can infestors burrow without burrow tech like a lurker? Or are they limited to above ground play unless you get burrow, but then have the ability to cast while burrowed? I think this is a pretty interesting question.

This was something a Blizzard employee told us. Unfortunately we didn't get much chance to test, what with all the Protoss players (it was like iCCup D levels). I'd imagine it would be simply because they have high enough health to survive that first hellion shot with the anti-light unit upgrade, unlike Hydralisks.
