StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm matches shown
Blizzard is showing off the StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm expansion in a 24-minute demonstration match, with the Protoss and Zerg both showing off their new units.
After unveiling the new units coming to StarCraft II in its Heart of the Swarm expansion on the weekend during the Major League Gaming championships, Blizzard then showed them off properly in a 'battle report' show match. With commentary from star caster Sean 'Day[9] Plott, the round sees Protoss facing off against the Zerg, and each deploying their shiny new toys.
Gasp! as Protoss Tempests bombard Zerg Swarm Hosts hatching viscous broods. Quake! as the upgraded Ultralisks burrow into Protoss lines. Shiver! when Zerg Vipers snatch Colossi away.
MLG also broadcast a second battle report with Terran versus Zerg action, but for some reason it hasn't been released properly yet. Still, one canny YouTube user captured it from the webstream for us all to enjoy. But first, here's that PvZ:

If you're going that route, how about the new Zerg flyer snatching a massive unit like the colossus. What is it bracing itself against? It's in the air. It would get pulled toward something that large. That's what makes no sense to me.

It might use its wings to generate a huge amount of thrust in the opposite direction.

I'm excited to try a bunch of those new units out. Protoss finally has a way to deal with shitty ass early ling rushes it seems (I hope).
Terran looks a little OP, but then again it's Terran so I guess that's fine (zealots did not need a hard counter since marauders and marines with concussive is already super effective against early zealot pushes.
Zerg units are very interesting. I can see dropping a few of those guys that spew infinite free units into the back of someone's base and then rushing the front.
Also LOL at the tempest - Protoss just got a combination of broodlords and seige tanks in the sky...holy imba batman.-

the swarmhost(not to be confused with the almighty http://wh40k.lexicanum.com/mediawiki/images/thumb/2/21/Swarmlord_(Artwork).jpg/180px-Swarmlord_(Artwork).jpg ) seems a bit underwhelming to me, its damage output looks nowhere near that of the brood lord.
