[@useresu301]

not a fan of the echo effect

[@evernewb2073]

@@useresu301 I'm a fan of the echo effect itself: as in it actually sounds like someone talking in a large mostly uncluttered enclosed space made of low-plasticitity/elasticity materials instead of sounding like some poor intern with a college education that was CLEARLY not worth the money they payed for it thought "echo" and "reverb" are synonyms so they are probably effectively the same thing.

The IODIS lore

[@AngryMole]

Fun fact: Thors actually had to be built on the field by SCVs in early development builds of the game (27:30)

[@patximartel]

Imagine being proxy thor, is not that you can't now, but I'm glad they removed.

[@loraxak]

Or late game where the Terran has a bank so he just builds like 15 thors at once to remax

[@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786]

Thors were originally the size of an Odin as well to justify them not fitting in factories

[@UndyingZombie]

Fun fact: Robobay units like the Immortal used to be units that could be warped in like gateway units in the early development of the game. Also to note.. The code was still in the game for a very long time, and was abused by people who found out you could do a tiny edit in a file that would allow the player to warp in those units in normal gameplay. Meaning for a while. There where some players warping in immortals and a few other units till Blizzard's SC2 team finally removed the code. Fun fact: Zerg, during the early development. Used to be able to infest their buildings, allowing them to constantly spawn broodlings that would attack nearby enemies. Though they where not controllable, and where also not select-able by the Zerg player. ... Just felt that something for each race should be mentioned :P ... There is soo much more than just this too.. Honestly would have loved for some of this stuff to have been in the map editor for us to see how things could have worked if they made it into the main game. Or perhaps someone to make a mod with all this old stuff put in as a for fun sort of thing.

[@UndyingZombie]

Oh and.. Side note about the old Thor. In the early development.. It was a special unit that was limited to one at a time back then. Meaning those of you who thought they could have made several Thors ( Looking at you Mark McCoy ) was simply not going to be possible. Like how the Protoss had the Mothership. Zerg was going to have the Queen unit as their special and it was a fair amount different to its current version.. Since it could fly like the SC1 counterpart and it also had better abilities overall. ( I believe one of them WAS the infest ability I mentioned in my other comment here but I do not fully remember for sure. ) These where basically going to be the one Hero unit that each race could make. The idea of that of course was dropped.. Obviously.. I do remember how both the Thor and the Queen seemed a little underwhelming next to the Mothership back then. But they did not release all the info on said units.

[@jeremiethibeault2054]

This guy is diamond. To get to this league as terran/zerg, you must have some knowledge about the game, no other way around it. Toss? Only 1 allin necessary. If anything, toss should be remade into more macro/less allin race.
