Heart of the Swarm “Ways to Play” Trailer Including New Training Mode

Starcraft 2 isn’t an easy multiplayer experience to break into. With it’s emergence as a popular Esport and the multiple leagues filled with pro-level players, it can be extremely dauting to even attempt an online game. This trailer shows how Blizzard hopes to remedy this with a more friendly user-interface and modes that help ease the transition into the online arena through a sort of Starcraft education.

This seems like a good idea. Wings of Liberety did little to ease new players into the digital deathmatches. While it could be argued that was the point of the story mode, the type of play demanded by the two are entirely different. Hopefully this could lead to a boom of new players enjoying games outside of just their friends, scared of the players who perform 200+ actions a minute.
