Datamining from HotS update background download?

    So, as you may have heard, there's a background download that goes on while the game launcher is left open:
    http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/8662511/?utm_content=news-textlink&utm_medium=launcher&utm_source=internal&utm_campaign=sc2

    This downloads some MPQ files for WoL alongside some new HotS files under StarCraft II\Updates\SC2_HotS_20_BGDL

    This is all for HotS and patch 2.0, I believe. There are 3 MPQE files, but I can't seem to open them. Anyone managed to do so, or to crack the encryption if there is one?

    it's unlikely, iirc WoL ending got leaked because the brazilian copy got unencrypted early (someone at blizzard screwed up?)
    unless that happens again i dont see it being decrypted.

    There is a whole new type of encryption since 1.5 Its no where near as easy to crack :))

    Well at least it's good to know the story isn't going to be leaked as quickly as last time. Hopefully.
