I actually think, that Raynor will die in Sc2, first it would be a real shocker and a good story plot (unpredictable), and second you alredy have all these new heroes ready to fill his role.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

batman much?

I think they already had their share of killed main characters in SC1 and BW. When you do the same a dozen times, it loses a bit of it's charm.
There are other ways to create an interesting, unpredictable story than to kill a main character at this point. Also, Kerrigan doesn't really wants to kill him. She already had the opportunity several times, and always spare his life.

I want an strong emotional story and experience from the campaign, and to that to hapen, some charachters would have to die. I want to feel the bitternes and frustration, when an hero you are atached to dies. I hate super happy stories, they feel so far away and distant to me and unatural.

I bet Arcturus will die, and Valerian will have something to do with it.

I think Blizzard should just do what everyone expects out of the game and make Jimmy put a bullet in her head.

I dislike infested Kerrigan. Frankly, I think she's a bit too OP (she controls the whole swarm already, and can still kick both Zeratul and Tassadar's ass in a 2v1?), and lessens the alien feel of the Zerg, IMO.

The only time this would logically take place is either during the Terran campaign since Blizzard would logically want you, the player, to be the one performing such a momentous event. However, this can't happen since we're meant to play Kerrigan in 'Heart of the Swarm'. Sure, you could argue that this could take place in 'Legacy of the Void', but the Hybrids (or whatever the prophecy is referring to) will likely be the ones taking center stage. Would you really want Kerrigan's death to be an optional side-quest?

What? Why does it have to happen in WoL? Why does it have to be an "optional" side quest in LotV just because the Hybrids are taking center stage? Are you saying there's no possible way to incorporate a Terran mission somewhere to include Kerrigan's death as a major part of the story? My god.

Second of all, so what if Kerrigan dies in WoL? I'd be all for it, I'm getting sick of her arrogant "I think I'm da boss" attitude that's totally fitting of Terrans. It doesn't even make the Zerg feel alien at all. What is this huge threatening species of aliens that we don't know? Oh it's a species lead by a human who got infested. Woo.

Terenas Arcturus: What is this? What are you doing, my son?
Arthas Valerian: Succeeding you, Father...

Not in Wings of Liberty. She's the main character of Heart of the Swarm, which comes after. It's just not possible for her to die until LotV.
