i've watched a lot of beta games. teamliquid has a bunch of people streaming themselves playing online, with a bunch of good players too. pretty know the basic strategy to each matchup.. seen this kinghillbilly guy go fast mothership vs a few guys and its hilarious.
back to the macro tho.... zerg can get a huge army just from 2 hatch.. even 1 hatch early game can get a huge roach force to overrun a protoss not properly prepared. zerg gets a queen on each hatchery and it seems to double the larvae production.. it seems way harder to fast xpo this game with any race really which sucks.. the whole available build options for each race seems pretty limited vs any competent player. terran can get some addon to barracks and factories and starports to produce 2 of a unit at a time. and protoss, i'm not really sure when they get it but can warp in a unit per gateway, so like while you're controlling your army and forgetting to macro you can just click whole reinforcements and place them at any pylon.. then i guess the build time kicks in but its instant reinforcements, and you can select multiple buildings at a time and 24 units at once... the game is like bw but dumbed down, prettier, and way more rock paper scissors... not nearly as good, but the new bnet looks freakin badass and should still be a ton of fun just cause it's ####in starcraft.
