HOTS is still not in beta, but seems to be making more and more public show plays. What on earth are they left polishing at this point?

At MLG Anaheim Dustin Browder said they basically all they’re doing now is balancing. Finding that sweetspot where a unit is balanced, and they are using these public appearances to help with that, as well as internal testing obviously. I reckon the beta is 1-2 months away.
