StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
Did we ever hear anything about this?
I totally forgot about it and didn't watch the RTS stream. Think we might see some videos?

After watching these videos... I still can't believe we haven't hit beta yet. This quality is like patch 1.5 for EA games already.

Hey thanks!
Wonder if that's all there was. Just a PvP match.
Hm. Oh well, good enough!

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
Wow, the pro matches really show how awesome this game is.
PvP looks pretty awesome. The way a few simple upgrades turned the tide was amazing.
EDIT: Wow, Robert Simpson was really on in these commentaries. He's usually not so animated. Same with Browder. Very refreshing.
Also, new Zergling portrait looks like. Very cool looking too.

There were two 2v2s as well, a TZ v TP and a ZP v ZT. I think David Kim won both of them. They were all really quick games...

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
Also, Corrupters have a second passive ability. Wonder what that is. (The auto-cast is going to be corrupt.)
And a new corrupter portrait too of course.
Also: anyone wanna keep telling me that the Colossus isn't very good? :P

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
Didn't they say that they redesigned the Zealot and other units? Did we ever get to see the new models?
-
Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
They touched the zealot up a little. If you look at the latest gameplay videos, you can notice a *tiny* bit of touch up to its shoulder pads and blades. Also its death animation is much improved.
Immortal has also been tweaked slightly (notice the guns and side armor)

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
I like how you can basically build Robotics facility anywhere near a cliff knowing that the movement of all the units it produces are not limited by the cliff.

Every Protoss unit can either be warped in, or is not hampered by cliffs.
Very specific design choice.
...except for the Immortal of course.

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
Are the Immortals in the Robotics Facility in the current build? Blizz says they were playing around with it and they aren't sure if it will stick.

In the build in these tournament vids they are...
...I think.
In the 1v1 I think I see immortals getting warped in... and in the 2v2 they're definitely in the Robotics Facility... so uh... I dunno...

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
I really feel that Immortal doesn't belong in a structure which mostly produces units that bypasses terrain. I like it that you can make RFs in isolated cliff locations without worry that the units won't find an exit point. Also if Immortal is in the RF, it becomes the only other Protoss unit other than the probe that will get stuck if the there as bad building placement.

Second ability for Corruptors should be Morph into Brood Lords.

Dustin even told us so...
Brood Lords are Morphed from Corruptors, not Mutalisks...

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
i don't know if any of you noticed but at the end of the "sc2 2v2 match 1" the thor uses it's ability "250mm Strike Cannons."
looks cool.

It's passive, not active.

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
Just so you guys know (and I'm pretty sure most of you do), these videos will be posted on the blizzcon site pretty soon, and most likely in higher quality (just like the Sonkie vs Yellow vids).
If you go to the blizzcon site you can see that they already have a space for this in the video archive section (which can be found at the top right corner of the RTS live stream page), but the vids are currently labeled as TBA.

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
I'll be waiting for the official site's videos...

Brood Lords from Corruptors makes no freakin sense.

The design makes more sense now than it did before.
Mutaliks' tail flips backwards, wings grow outward. :P

It sure as hell does. The Broodlings it shoots can even just be the evolved form of the Mutalisk's Glaive Wyrm.

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
From a few matches I played;
Thors 250mm Cannon ability deals heavy damage to one unit (forgot the exact amount) and stuns the target for x seconds.
Immortals are built at the Robotics Facility.
Bunker upgrade holds 6! :D
Not sure if I remember much else :P Too busy enjoying the game.

Zealots look amazing :P

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
Thanks for the vids Scorpio. The game is looking better everytime I see it.

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
the official site is going to upload the videos of the matches of the starcraft and the starcraft 2 tournament like the last year?
-
Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
Yeah, the link is on the first page.

Re: StarCraft 2 Tournament (Blizzcon 09)
Broodlord comes from a corruptor now? Ok... (o0)

Yeah, Dustin said that they didnt feel like Mutalisk was right unit for this upgrade. And btw Corruptors has some sort of parasite-like attack, so it is the same shit DSquid...
I dont like Brood Lord anyway... I like the concept of unit, but the name and his Look is just awful. I want old Swarm Guardian back! :(

How do they look amazing? Are their models updated? Karune said something about that.
