This is painful to watch. Terrible end to an otherwise entertaining and fun tournament.

I really hope blizzard doesn't wait too long before making some drastic balance changes.

They should wait quite a while. Rushing into balance changes made Zerg what it became in the end of WoL. They need to give players the chance to figure out ways to defeat their enemies.

Also, the whole widow mine 1 shotting oracles is because of that stuff buff to +shield damage given to it in order to promote "more mech play."

Yeah. But iam sure that stargate opener can be really relevant here. One oracle to harass, a handfull of phoenix to handle drops, VR for viking and cover colossi. They need new builds.


Bio crushes us so much that we barely hold the timings when teching to our aoe, what do you think will happen when we get phoenixes before aoe?


You harass them and delay their attack, stopping them from doing damage to you. A good offense can also be a good defense. And if they move out their reinforcements won't come to help with Phoenix on the map. And an addition defensive tool helps you to delay even if the army arrives.
Never forget that Phoenix removes Mules from the game.


harrassing a terran going bio with phoenixes..

Hello marines! Hello turrets! Hello mines!
U may delay his push by ~10s, while spending 150/150+300/200 at least
And they will NEVER help you in direct fight

First looks really shaky at the moment. Playing like this its hard to see how he got into the finals.

Too many people complaining about balance when First is just getting outplayed very badly.

The story of this IEM has been Terran players completely controlling the flow of the game through widow mines and medivacs.

The thing is, the + shield damage really does promote more mech play. The widow mine was useless against protoss.

He had plenty of ways to not allow his oracles to die stupidly, he had hallucinations to use and he didn't. He knew his opponent had mines and he flew in blind.

Would be nice if they actually changed the game significantly (BW? TFT?) when they charge us $50 for a glorified balance patch with some shitty single player.
Fortune favors the prepared mind.
