Hey everyone,
Scary here. Well, you've probably heard about it. You may have even read about it. Starcraft II's next big thing is coming, and it's the Legacy of the Void. You may have also heard that I will be covering the beta in-depth very soon, and that confirmation came today from Blizzard.
Sometime within the next two weeks, coverage will start on the channel as well as here on the blog. There's lots to cover from what's been revealed thus far, and it's all very exciting.
Personally, I'm not a micro master. I wouldn't even call myself "good" at Starcraft. But it's a universe I've enjoyed exploring since my high school and college days, long long ago. I can't count the amount of times I'd skip class to hit up the local internet cafe with my buds and play Starcraft for hours on end.
To put it shortly, the idea in this expansion is to focus around a more explosive, intensive match by allowing players to harass easier, sooner, and more often. New maps units and abilities will incorporate this idea and encourage it in multiplayer games. No doubt this means we will see a big shift in the meta (or not at all) but definitely in the play styles of those participating in high level multiplayer play.
I'm sure that for those of us (such as myself) who aren't good enough to compete on a world e-sports level, will still have the pleasure of being able to watch how strategies and techniques change based on the changes to come in this new expansion.
I for one am very excited and would like to take this opportunity to thank Blizzard for giving me an opportunity to take a closer look at it, probably before many other will have the chance to. Hopefully you will share that excitement with me as you watch and read coverage of Legacy of the Void (closed beta) in the weeks to come.
That's it for now :)
