Blizzard are the masters of misdirection good sir.
Of course they are going to have the images in the teaser be as absolutely inconclusive as possible (or pointing in the wrong direction) right up to the gun. That includes taking the time to try to make them look like "something else" to throw people off the scent. Right now it can be argued that it looks like Arthas, Diablo, and a Protoss (although in my opinion, careful inspection shows it does not perfectly match Arthas or the Protoss). But this could all be quite intentional.
Face it, they are going to do everything they can to make this as ambiguous and misleading as possible, all the way up to the announcement. If they did not, the game would be rumbled long before then.
Its not a perfect match to diablo either.

My life is like a dragon, first praised, then hated, now lost.
something is definitely going on hope for the best but expect the worse guys! i'm gonna be back. and please, report the trolls and spammers! and post hunters that don't read before they post
This cant be more true. This way it enables you to expect a different game other than D3, without a huge dissapointment, but yet when it does get announced, you can be shittin bricks.:rolleyes:

Ok for one I am really really sick of you people saying it is about Wrath of the Lich King, or Starcraft. Non of you clearly have read any of the announcements blizzard has made about the splash, and if you have, are just retarded and should die in a fire.
TEASERS ARE TO PROMOTE NEW AND UP COMING GAMES NOT GAMES WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN ANNOUNCED TO BE IN PRODUCTION FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. GET THAT IN YOUR HEAD PLEASE. STOP SAYING "IT LOOKS LIKE SC2" or "OMGSH LICH KING BETA INVITES ZOMGSH ZOMGSH" STOP WITH IT PLEASE
I am dead certain it will be Diablo 3 without a doubt, but also it can be for another game.
Notice how Diablo 3 has not been announced at all?
To reference someone who said
"Notice how WWI this year is in Paris, which has one of the largest Diablo fanbase in the world." "Notice how WWI last year was in Korea, which without a doubt has the biggest fanbase for Starcraft 2"
Do the math
STOP SAYING ITS LICH KING AND SC2 START THINKING NOT TYPING RANDOM SHIT ITS JUST GAY SPAM.
Hey hey... now is that really neccessary Glacier? haha

I agree. I guess I should have said that. But when studying the triangle area between the eyes, and the ridgelines above the eyes, I get a feeling of a texture of skin, or bone. Nothing like the metal helm of Arthas.
Regardless, I'm personally convinced it's going to be Diablo III, and not based soley on the images.
Ah... I gotcha. Whether you are black and gold or maroon and white I don't have much to smack talk about.. So I'll just shut up... Ya'll just promise to send some of that bowl money up north.. We get lonely stayin home at christmas.

If Diablo III isn't announced I am going to distill my frustration by killing a pack of emo kids. Basically I will just have to chuck a grenade into the nearest Hot Topic..........
