    Semifinals of a Korean tournament played by two Korean players. They really play in a different way, specially the Terran player, so it's always interesting to see how do they play there. They play Terran vs Zerg in every game. A best of 7 casted by HuskyStarcraft.

    Beta up again!

    According to some players in the forums and on Twitter, beta is up again for phase 2. Now a list of a few unchecked changes we will need to confirm:

    Official:
    • Rally points now behave as a move command, instead of an attack move command.
    • Enabled the ability to manually add a StarCraft II character friend using the player's character code. Character code is a server-assigned numerical code that is displayed within the Add Friend panel.
    • Battle.net Achievements & Rewards have been updated.
    • All Quick Match modes are now available: 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4, and Free For All.
    • All A.I. difficulties are now available for play.
    • Cooperative matchmaking versus A.I. players is now available as a play mode.
    • Enabled cross-game social features between World of Warcraft and StarCraft II.
    Balance Changes

    • ZERG
      • Infestor
        • Frenzy spell removed.
        • Infested Terran spell added.
      • Overseer
        • Infested Terran spell removed.
      • Ultralisk
        • Now immune to stuns and mind control.

    Non-Official:
    • That Infested Terran has returned to 25 energy.
    • The Zerg advisor's "Require more minerals" voice has been made a little less hissy.
    • Critters have been added to the map editor.
    • Weapon speed now shows an actual number value
    • Movement speed shows a value.
    • The surrender option.
    • Fungal Growth and Contaminate icons have been changed.
    • Xel'Naga Watchtowers now have an eye icon on the mini-map.
    • Chronoboost has a great new icon. 
    • Incineration Zone map is gone.
    • Terran buildings in the same control group are not separated depending on the addon now.

    The official Blizzard forum post is this uninformative:
    The second phase of the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty beta test is now underway. We're delighted to invite you back to the battlefield and hope that you will join us through July 19 for more terran, protoss, and zerg action.

    As stated previously, all data from beta phase one has been reset. This includes characters, match history, ladder rankings, and achievements. Beta participants will therefore need to recreate their characters and, if joining matchmaking games, complete a new series of placement matches.

    We thank you for all the feedback you provided during phase one and are excited to hear about more of your experiences in phase two. Welcome back to beta, and we'll see you on Battle.net!
    Have fun!
