DRG fucked up. Nobeless played well, but any half decent Zerg should have won game 2. I want to call you so many names.

Admittedly a very small number of games and it will most likely balance out again but to say it is just 1 terran is wrong. The patch act as a placebo in zerg and terran minds more than having a huge gameplay effect in my opinion Very few of these 33 games had a different winner because they nerfed fungal range or let terran not spend 150/150 at 25min in the game.
I wouldn't be so sure. The thing is, for the first time blizzard introduced a patch that didn't actually change gameplay, but just outcome. And that's exactly what we are seeing, Zergs that do the same things as before the patch, but lose a few more engagements, because the same compositions are just slightly weaker.

I don't think that's comparable really : /
Well comparable but it's a completely different set of circumstances

I'm waiting for a sick 1 base all in to come about.

I don't want to start a big balance discussion but I think as pro-players patches do have a HUGE placebo effect. I was a semi-professional player in WoW (lol I know right?) but I remember the HUGE effect a buff in a patch could have on my play. You play with confidence, like you "should" win if you play right. But when you feel like your race/class are "weaker" then you feel like your opponent has to screw up bigtime. Almost a defeatist attitude. Not sure that is the case here but I do think any balance patch "buffs" confidence as much as anything. This is why we need to keep buffing units forever so our pros get godlike, we'd have 20-30 Flash and Jaedong's by now (joke).

actually i really think this was a very good adjustment and i would love if blizzard kept this apporach for further balancing, small steps instead of overbuffing/nerfing all the time
look at the hots infestor right now, no one is ever gonna build one of those (not that im sad about it but its a good example)

I wonder if MJ is going to pick up any more players. They only have 2 people and B4 seems to be doing well since he joined the team D:

well, I think you really don't need the baneling nest to hold that push if you go for a 6queen build and have speed finishing (which he had barely). But then you have to keep energy for transfuses, which he didn't.

I forgot to include the GSTL finals (so even more Terran favored thanks to Gumiho) but yes I listed proleague.
