Yeah it's not as over the top as I first thought because I thought it was permanent mind control, temporary makes a lot more sense.

I'm surprised they haven't posted it on the official site yet. Maybe they will on Monday.
Neural Parasite looks like it will be a very nice bas defence trick, however. An infester in the right place could change the dynamic of an attack, imagine if you took that High Templar? or that Thor? Or that Queen?
nasty, nasty, nasty
The problem with using an Infestor in that way is that the Protoss player will almost certainly have an Observer on hand, in which case 3-4 Zealots will shred it.
There were 4 infestors there and a few blocking units, and with even 1 colossus under the parasite, the Zerg should have easily have been able to repulse that attack.
Taking key units with a neural parasite will indeed change the course of the battle, I fear it - mostly because I love PvZ games and I already have 3 builds ready for SC2.
Using the NP on caster units or units like BC's or Ultralisks ...
I hope that the Archon will get back it's Mael Storm back somehow
Looks great. I kept having my doubts about SC2 but it sreally coming along nicely and this battle report really makes me want to play.
Phoenix's attack looks really ugly...worst.
