HotS - Multiplayer Unit Update Video

[DemolitionSquid]

by the time a stargate can come out, other races should have access to detection...no?

Only if they scout it, just like now with fast Void/Ray Phoenix. Really though, simply picture a regular 3 gate push where everything is a DT. That's crazy.

Then it may be a problem for less skilled players who dont scout well, but that tech path may be a good way for toss to endure mid game fights; the cloaking and conquering air would give warpgate units an edge against terran bio balls.

lol, exactly what I was thinking.
From what i'm reading though; it costs 100 energy to cloak, meaning you'de have to wait for the energy to build up.
But the current build of the mothership core can max a unit's energy for only 25 of its own...
This means enough for 2 cloaks for the price of a chrono boost.

I like

I really like the mothership core and its flexibility; you can use it to push an offensive and charge up units for a fast cloaking/ massive economic harassment

at the risk of not being able to recall troops back or activate the "purifier".

Battle Report 2 coming up:

[Alar]

I'd love to see them release another battle report where the people are actually playing smart, rather than concentrating on showcasing the new units. I appreciate it, but the Terran could've done so much better if he hadn't been so limited.

Sadly, the meta game will follow the same pattern it did during WoL's development and release. We will see many "pros" rising and falling because of the constant patching and changes in the meta game of HotS. It will only be two years later that we will see pure strategy and smart players at the top of the ladder. Then, LotV will be released.

Pure mech still looks bad. I mean, pros are gonna be able to pull it off but not the general population. It's way too apm intensive now. I mean, setting up siege tanks and widow mine is gonna be really hard. Spider mines were easier to set up back in the days.

I really don't think this was staged. I know it seems like it was, but with the volume of games they play, there has to be at least a few real games that work for their purposes.

Yeah, I think that they played a lot of games, and picked up the ones that were interesting. It really didn't look like it was staged, at least not to me.
