I watched it, and the video has restored my love of Blizzard Entertainment. Since they started the whole World of Warcraft thing, the company has made some really bizarre PR moves and hasn't really created.... well, anything. They continue to make moves in that game that frustrate me as a gamer and a fan of fantasy worlds (Warcraft is the most retconned fantasy world in the history of mankind, I swear to god) but Starcraft 2 looks like they're making a smart move.
They aren't changing anything that made Starcraft work so well. I guaran-damn-tee that everyone complaining about how it's just "more of the same" will end up loving the game if they loved the original and would be pissed if they changed things drastically to the point it winded up being to Starcraft what Warcraft 3 was to Warcraft.

I just watched it earlier today. The zealot rush is something that needed to occur in the worst way. No longer will your zealots calmly meander towards the enemy. The AI also appeared to be considerably better (provided that wasn't scripted in). I didn't see any single-file marching slaughters like you see with the original. The mothership is also pretty sexy. With that said, it looks kind of like the protoss are going to be much more mobile and probably a little weaker as a result. As for the zerg, the new lings look awesome. The nydus worms have the potential to be downright gamebreaking, though. I didn't really see enough of the new terran units to really evaluate them.
Johnny C:
Basically it looks like a fucking rad game of rock-paper-scissors. Though the Zerg rushing still annoys the hell out of me while simultaneously scaring my pants off.
I wonder what surprises Blizzard has up its sleeves still.

That zerg rush was beat off by all of 10 units, with minimal casualties. True, they morphed into exploding bugs and steamrolled the rest, but that's NOT THE POINT HERE.
It seems like the zergling rush is not as valid a tactic anymore.
ScrambledGregs:
I look forward to Blizzard nerfing all kinds of formerly valid tactics with countless patches for Starcraft 2!! Yay!!
