For those who are unaware, David Kim, the face of SC2 balance, has departed from Blizzard's Team 1 (dev team responsible for SC2/Heroes).

I took to Twitch for a spontaneous stream so that we could unpack this topic a bit. Its huge news for SC2. David Kim gets a lot of hate but realistically, SC2 is one of the most balanced games around.

What's his new project? Will someone take his place? Can we learn anything here about Blizzard's plans for SC2?
