    It was actually uploaded to their site as of 4-5am on April Fools ;)


    They also had a few other things including a Molten Core console game, and a new class for WoW - A rocking, axe equipped Bard :D

    yeah its true, almost every major organisation, and many thousands of websites have their own april fools and its nice to see what they come up with, the power of the internet!

    And although I know the marine is a joke, i really really really want it to be included in the final game :p

    Maybe they'll add that as a alternate hero when you create your own starcraft map.

    Or a character in StarCraft2 DOTA

    If they actually made a model and everything it might be in the game files for use in custom maps. like the marine and the zergling in warcraft 3.

    blizzard didnt make dota.
