HotS Battle Report 3 TvP

what do you guys think about it? i think it's absolutely horrible, the new units are way too gimmicky, they should be more discreet.
i hate the tempest and warhound the most. warhound => just make it a goliath with anti-air

entertaining to watch all the new units at least. Not gonna analyze the gameplay any more for the moment.

ok Blizzard just announced that HotS Beta is coming soon.
We are preparing to invite testers for the Heart of the Swarm beta very soon! To be clear, this test will be for the multiplayer experience only. We will begin with a select  group, including many players who assisted us in testing Patch 1.5, as well as some pro-gamers and press. Over time, we will add more and more testers into the mix.

it's confirmed, Global Play will come with HotS. Also some more chanes for HotS
terran unit change.
spider mine had a 10sec timer, they took this away and they changed the splash radius and damage gradient
mothership will still be slow i think you guys misinterpreted; the article says they originally wanted to remove it, but decided to keep it
beta test begun, current balance is still changing (duh)
beta is for 1v1 multiplayer only
you can take replays and play from them :0 to fix the issue of progaming matches lagging out; it'll be a good thing for casuals too so they can play where a progamer left off, and investigate how to approach strategy in the mid to lategame
edit; forgot to add, there will be global play but we all knew that already.

there will be units exclusive to single player
hots was delayed, but that's because the dev team wanted the game to be more fun, now they're balance tweaking with the beta and the game should be released soon(tm).

HD Starcraft 2 PvT HOTS Custom Game

Not the official build but that looks a lot better imo, especially because it kinda shows off how to deal with the thing mech has problem with (the immobility) using widow mines. Only think the widow mines should explode a bit faster but this game looked much better than the official battle report.
