For those of us who haven't the time to read, in a nutshell what does it say?

[jerom]

Terran:
- Spider mine thing removed.
-Still experimenting with the warhound/thor thing (feels to much like an actual thor, looking into other types of things that can reach the small places like a thor type unit).
-Also still experimenting with units that can attack with long range attacks to kill siege tank lines.
-the Battle helion is certain to stay (atm at least).

PRotoss:
-REplicant removed.
-Oracle is still the same.
-Reconsidering the tempest as an true capital ship rather than a lategame anti mutalisk unit.
-Experimenting around with other nexus abilities like mass recall

Zerg
- Swarm host still the same
- Viper has a new ability: They can regain energy by gathering from mineral patches (which does lock up the mineral patches)
- Overseer will stay (so the viper won't become a caster like unit)
- Looking into more uses for the nydus worm
