Actually some are guessing, and some are not.Quote:

Well its obviously going to be in the game somewhere. They don't make music just for an interview video.Quote:

After listening to it the first time, for some reason it made me think of D2 tunes a lot (because of some of the rythms at the beginning, not the instruments), but the sounds themselves are much more futuristic.
Who knows... it might be a bit too neutral to be one of the three race's soundtracks, but it could be part of the Bnet/Menu soundtrack.

just cause it was appropriate
There are at least two shots in that video including a player named "Boxer". I wonder if that is just a Blizzard employee messing around with the name of the most famous Korean player ever or if it is the real Boxer in a closed beta?
looked like he had 9001 points so its probably a dummy account.Quote:

Well as I mentioned it previously, it's for WoW for now, I was told that the beta will be officially supported very soon.
he was zerg, so its hard to say. If they did get someone from korea to test, Boxer would be the one, hes the revolution, and I believe he can speak english decently.Quote:

I thought Boxer is washed up? He was great in the past, but from what I have read other places, his public appeal and skill has dropped significantly. There are much more talented people playing now.Quote:

I agree, SC used to be pretty micro intensive back in the day. Now it's somewhere between a balance of macro and micro, but there's definitely more macro than there is micro.Quote:

Can someone post the video? It lags for me on the page.
Now now...let's not start making claims from inside sources yet again. That didn't quite go over well the last time when Gifted started doing it, and I doubt it will go over well now either. Whether or not you have an insider source willing to feed you secret information is irrelevant.Quote:

There's a specific user group created for this kind of discussion...and I humbly request we keep it isolated to there please. Enough rumors, teases, and inside source tidbits. Let's just stick with facts and confirmed claims please.
FAR from it. Boxer has beaten top pros as recent as 3-4 months ago. He is still the greatest SC player of all time, because without him, the competitive scene wouldnt be half as good as it is. Boxer has the best micro of any progamer probably still to this day, unfortunately hes not a macro player which is why he isnt in the top 20 anymore, SC1 has become a macro game where you dont need to do any micro really, just sit in your base and wait til your 3-3 with 200 supply then attack like Flash does.Quote:

Im sure Boxer could even make scouts useful if he played protoss. In SC2, the only way to find out if a unit is truely imbalanced, is to put it in Boxers hands and see how it works with the best micro in the world.
(keep in mind I HATE terrans, so this praise is not biased, its the truth. Boxer was the most influencial figure in RTS games, maybe in progaming in general)
where is that betacon image btw?
we probably are in betacon 2 or something like that O.o
well I used third-handed informations only once my mistake and it won't happen againQuote:

in that email i've got, there was a specific information about when I can give some pieces of the puzzle/informations or whatever in time
the time has come, so I can share
that email is over 2 days old, it's not tagged with Blizzard
What?Quote:
