GG.. LOL. The ghosts are fucking stupid though…

Sample of Hi-Res screenshots (link at the bottom for the rest):

The game models and art look more anime-styled. Heck the SCVs look like Gundams. ANIME WILL RULE THE WORLD ONE DAY XD

The Beta should be available year’s end, and it should be released next year in April. This is merely an Alpha version so you shouldn’t build your expectations around it.

The event is still running right now in Korea, so any information here will rapidly change.

New units

Terran

• Reaper: Uses dual pistols, can jet pack across terrain.

Protoss

• Colossus: A large quad-legged vehicle that fires strong dual lasers. Shown in the video destroying a large wave of Zerglings. This unit can also traverse differences in terrain height.
• Immortal: When powerfully attacked, activates a shield which reduces damage taken.
• Mothership: A powerful flying unit which consumes an extreme amount of resources to produce, but is a unique unit (1 at a time). Has the Timebomb ability, which slows all enemy missile attacks, and the Earth Cracker, a large laser that obliterates anything in its path, in the style of Independence Day. Also has an ability to create a black hole. Looks like a floating sand dollar.
• Phoenix: Can overcharge guns for multiple projectile blast, but after blast the ship is rendered inert for a short period.
• Warprey: Flying unit that deals damage with a blue laser that does more damage as it focuses on the same target. Good versus buildings, weak against small arms fire.

Zerg

• Worm: Unknown

Updated units

Protoss

• Zealot: Will have a new charge ability, allowing a zealot unit to quickly close the distance between itself and an enemy unit.

Zerg

• Zergling: New ability to mutate into suicidal “bombs”, that can roll across the terrain.

New abilities

• Protoss Can create shields anywhere, and warp prefabricated units close to any Pylons.
• Zealots can charge, getting into melee range quickly.
• Zerglings can mutate into a suicidal creature. See the new units section.
