Now that the highest skilled pro players have been playing the beta for a few weeks, we've been gathering pro level ladder data, pro feedback, as well as watching all the HotS tournaments/show matches that have been going on.

Out of everything we're seeing and hearing from pro players, we think the most important issue we need to deal with rather quickly is early game ZvT.

The biggest issue in the ZvT early game at the highest pro level seems to be the mass Hellion contain leading into the various potential mass Hellbat combinations right when the Armory comes into play. The time between Terran gaining full map control and then converting all their map control units into straight up power units looks to be too narrow.

Even without this threat, Terran has plenty of early game strategies to utilize vs. Zerg. We're most likely going to add the Hellion to Hellbat transformation upgrade back to the Factory Tech lab with an Armory requirement. This will give Zerg more time to scout and prep against possible Hellbat based attacks when they see lots of Hellions in play.

What do you guys think? >.<

This is actually what I had proposed as a fix several weeks ago.

100 minerals is a REALLY good investment, considering how good hellbats are. Curious about what the right response is from P now if T goes bio+hellbat. Especially lategame with a ton of ghost viking. Because zealot filler is out of the question. So I don't know what units to make :\

By the time he gets enough ghosts, just ensure your air superiority imo.
