players into
the basics of multiplayer strategies.

A few weeks ago Blizzard announced their plans for the v1.1 StarCraft 2 patch which would include numerous balancing changes. Blizzard has just revealed that the patch will be hitting Battle.Net next week on Tueday September 21, 2010, between 5 A.M. and 11 A.M. CEST.No complete patch details have yet been revealed and there is no mention as to whether Blizzard plans on sneaking in some of the feature updates they talked about in the last update.

anyone got any strategies for a newfag like me?

Starcraft 2, Heart of the swarm due in 18 months since the launch of Wings of Liberty.

How does 2012 sound for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm?That's sounding likely, based on a comment from Battle.net project director Greg Canessa at GDC Online. During a Q&A session following his presentation on the new-and-improved service, reports GameSpot, he responded to a question about upcoming Battle.net features with the following:

Trading replays, broadcasting replays, and upgraded profiles are "a main area of focus we're going to be seeing on the StarCraft side over the next 18 months between now and Heart of the Swarm."

Everyone freak out! Actually, wait -- this sounds not only plausible, but about what you would expect from Blizzard. Of course, no "official" date has been announced for the expansion, so you'll have to treat this quote accordingly. Just don't go expecting Heart of the Swarm anytime soon.

[I won't expect the expansion to be out in 18mnths due to the fact that they are already working on diablo 3 as well as Warcraft 4.]

here's some old news from ign on SC2:
