Yep they will be at the same level as the Zerg if you buy them later.

I find myself annoyed at lack of transport options in Co-op.
This applies especially to Artanis. His forces are generally speaking rather slow, so some Warp Prisms would be very nice indeed. And he got Reavers, moving those around with Warp Prisms would be lovely.
Alarak does have transports but ironically he is one commander who doesn't really need them, with reasonably mobile army. They're useful for the power field but nothing else really. Really doesn't help his robotic units are kinda pointless.
Zeratul has those wormhole things but they're not available within F2P limit.
Swann has Hercules but frankly he doesn't seem to be particularly interesting commander.

Ok i changed my mind. Swann's kinda fun IF used tactically. Hercules full of Siege Tanks in tank mode with some Science Vessels following and repairing them is cool. Though i suppose another Hercules with SCVs for repairs (and maybe something for close-in defense) would be better as the Science Vessels can't do tactical jumps.
Of the Co-Op commanders, the one I like most is Nova. Not having to deal with Supply Depots is a blessing. After her, Vorazun. Plan to buy Alarak later, and his announcer pack too. Need Q making snide comments while playing the game.

Artanis's max level upgrade is pretty good. A couple of pylons is enough to build everything you may want, and for warping in forces you can just use the deployable power field.
Still pity about lack of Warp Prisms, need to create new Scarabs in every attack because they're so slow...
I tried Nova but not sure i like her. Without upgrades, she is rather limited and thus annoying to use. Maybe she's better later but not too keen on leveling (or buying).
Don't like that she can't build additional nukes either. My preferred method with Ghosts is to build a lot of nukes and constantly use them. Can't use this in co-op, bleh.
Vorazun could use some transportation as well. Would like to move Dark Templar around and do sneaky strikes... though given that the computer really loves keeping detection around, not much of chance for this really.

Omg that's awesome!
It's super easy to get to any event, just follow the crystal clear instructions Tasteless and Artosis give on occasion during the broadcast. Hop in a subway from wherever and then look for the signs to make sure you don't miss your stop. Couldn't be easier!
I am soooooooo glad GSL is back soon. I only recently realized there's been a void in my "wasting time watching YT/Twitch" life that wasn't getting filled.
i know that feel. ASL has been my substitute drug of choice lol
GSL S3 Code S finals is one of the most epic battles of all time

I'm overjoyed to see MC back in the mix. It's his first Code S since he fell out of groups in July 2016 (which was already after his official retirement) and he managed to get his call-up for military service, originally scheduled for this month, delayed so he can keep playing in the event he advances.
All right, we didn't know MC's form going into this, but I really don't think anybody thought he would put in such a dominant opening performance against Stats, of all people. Against almost anybody else, maybe. Fantastic game sense for when and where to attack, like in the old days.

Well, it was exciting while it lasted. MC's PvT already looked a bit sloppy against GuMiho and, remarkably, I think he would have had a better shot at advancing from a rematch with Stats in the elimination match than against Cure. Not something I expected to say coming into this group. Hopefully we get to see a good run out of him later in the year before he's off to the military.
Between Maru and Scarlett's group and the Nintendo Direct, my schedule is all out of whack this week.
Pretty hilarious loser's match in Ro32 Group E tonight, if not exactly good StarCraft. (The running time of the VOD speaks volumes.) The last game in Group D last week was entertaining as well, while we're on the subject of the kind of, er, unconventional play you don't see so often in the later rounds.
Excellent elimination match in Group E, too; I haven't followed every group but this was a quality series, perhaps my favourite one of this season so far.

Scarlett and herO. Well worth watching, with some great plays and dramatic tech switches on both sides, but ultimately coming down to some sharp decisions to commit to the attack.

I don't follow the community/streaming side outside of the big tournaments that closely, but for those invested in SC2, this Pylon Show conversation about the recent Blizzard layoffs is absolutely essential. The game has an alarming and uncertain road ahead.
