Re: Starcraft 2 at the electronic game show 2009 mexico
Wellcome, Sato. Good pics!!
Your comments are interesting also, a few of them specially catched my attention:
- The Mothership's Vortex continues to suck units all the duration.
- The Mothership's Time Bomb slows down only enemy ground units.
- The Roach cannot move underground anymore
- The Thors fall apart under enemy Siege Tank fire, and you could kill 5 Mutalisks of a 8 Mutalisk group with a lonely Thor (did the Thor die under the Mutalisks fire alone?).
- Bunkers have 6 unit capacity, and the Sensor tower has a lot of range (isn't this too good vs Ghosts? You probably can see right away where is the Nuking Ghost, right?)
- I agree that it's strange that only the Queen can extend Creep, but at least you don't need to use Drones for that.
Another things i noticed:
- Nydus Worms cost 100 minerals, and generates Creep around him, but must be called over Creep (i assume this is to require Creep drop, and then sustains the Creep by itself).
- Creep traduced to spanish as... talo??? (english: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thallus)
- The Overseer has a spell named Acid Spores, that increses the damage received by the target in +5 during 30 seconds.
- Overseer keeps the same amount of control of the Overlord, and has the Pneumanized Caparace available at the Hatchery (i thought the Overseer had this upgrade by default).
Thanks, very good stuff!

Translated:
Spawn Larva
Target Hatchery, Lair or Hive spawns 4 larvas in 40 seconds.
If target Hatchery, Lair or Hive has more than 3 larvas, regular larvas production is halted till it has less than 3.
So I hope it's easy to distinguish Queen Spawned larvas from regular ones...on the contrary you will be forced to evolve ALL larvas before using Spawn Larva again on the same Hatchery.
This is not an issue, I Think, if you have only one Queen at the target Hatchery but...if you have more than one?
It´s just like it always was. If there are less than 3 Larvae at a Hatchery the Hatchery will produce a new one for free, otherwise you won´t get more. The queen just allows you to have more than 3 Larvae at a given Hatchery. It just stops the "natural" Larvaegeneration. It doesn´t even say that it stop Spawn Larvae from working, you could have 30 Larvae - you´d just miss out on the Hatcherys innate production.

Is there a translation of the 'spoiler' at the bottom of the OP's link?
Re: Starcraft 2 at the electronic game show 2009 mexico

Look at my post. It's not the full traduction, but there are a lot of interesting facts.

I think it has been chosen because of the seaweed/fungi association. Still, i associate the Creep more with living "meat" than a fungi.

Yep, may be a change to balance it someway?
