Battlereport 2 - Blizzard Hiccup

I'm not too hyped about this because I haven't had the time or I wasn't in the mood but reading this thread (without the spoilers) makes me want to watch it right now. But I'll be fine once I go away from here

 

kuvasz seems to have a state of mind similar to my own.

For those following, Battle Report #2 was posted before it was ready. We are trying to make the video ready for release at the end of the week. Will give you additional updates as they become available.

Don't spoil the BattleReport avoid spoilers if possible...

 

Can't wait for this one to get released!

All the shaky cam stuff on the net isn't really worth watching, and we're finally at that stage where balance is becoming more important and stable.

 

The spoiler tag is

Spoiler

actually.

I'm resisting reading the transcript so it won't ruin the video when it's out.

 

Spoiler

Looks like banelings are pretty powerful in the early game for taking out tier 1 units.

 

Aha! So the forum DOES have a spoiler tag. There's no excuse for the posters spoiling it then.

Spoiler

Wow! Look how easy!

 

He's out guys !!!

Let's see it and comment

 

Spoiler

• melee queen... at last

• banelings skitter O.O looks unusual but nice

• marauders take up two unit spaces in the bunker... probably for balance

• overlord licks the screen

It was a nice watch but... it's been months. Could've been better.

 

Why was my thread locked? Nobody is going to look in this speculation thread for actual news...

 

I think keeping in one thread is more organize........

and they need to put some low resolution format, HD is killing my connection

 

I thought the queen was supposed to be an active unit yet i dont see it doing about anything in the BR, can someone clarify?

 

It's extremely slow off the creep and would just get taken down. She's supposed to be the minister of defence anyway.

 

She plays a big role early on in backing up those zerglings against rushes, even though 10 lings would have been able to take out a bunker with only 1 marine anyways, the queen could easily be crucial in defending against other types of rushes.

She is used to spawn extra larvae which is part of the reason the zerg could bring so many units to bear that fast.

In certain matches, creep tumors could be very useful for extending the area where you can place your spine and spore crawlers.

And she took out a banshee

 

The Queen took out a banshee when this plane far enough far from her. This is strange ...

Else this battle report was great. I liked to see the SCVs to blow up when they died.

The Spine crowler is ... ugly ! But I like its idea to move.

 

SOGE, the Queen launches spikes at air units. You can see it if you download the higher quality version.

 

Okay, I believed she used her "hands" to hit the air units. If she uses spines, that's good.

One notification : the marines have the shield back. mmm.. I dislike this. And the zerglings have no wings. I like this.

 

mah favorite matchup evar! I did notice that Zerg build way more units but no Infestors after the initial one? And during the later part of the match he was throwing men away and not teching to lurkers/swarm guardians. Also he could have re expanded if he chose to with some actual defenses. Those Nighthwaks absoluetely pwned his units! feels like a WAY more versatile Science Vessel. Only down side is you would use more ghosts i think against Protoss. All in all good match!
