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.

No they should not, some imbalances are super obvious and waiting won't make them go away.

No. Players figuring things out will make them go away.

Hilarious to see all terran screaming "SKILL" when this happens in practically every HotS PvT, turns out you basically can't lose with drops now, even if you drop badly, just scoot scoot away.

First might not be playing the best right now, but when you get constantly dropped, and even when you catch it you lose more then they do, that tends to fuck with someones nerves.

But whatever, after this tournament Blizzard will nerf all the patch-terrans.
Either way, I'm watching something else, this tourny had a lot of PvZ, which was fascinating, but PvT is just a boring matchup now.

What imbalances are super obvious from this series? I see First playing like trash.


But he's playing like trash because terran is imba.

1. Like what?
2. No one knows how to play correctly yet; the game isn't even out.
3. General metagame shifts often fix small, perceived imbalances.

The other big problem with clamining balance on Speedvacs is when you have players like First playing like that (which is really badly it seems) then you can't claim it's due to balance, it's bad play. ^^

I realized during the highlights replay that abedesi doesn't use 'full screen mode' that often which is something he must work on. In big battles please use that feature so that the spectators is given extra vision.

People coughing this up to mines and speed medivacs are myopic. YoDa's decision making and engagements have been great. Every time he's prevented First for going for storm flanks and has constantly denied observers and harassment while being active on the map himself.


His macro is incredible whilst harassing all over the place as well. As tod and apollo point out, never above 500 minerals. He's just a macro beast.

Many terrans defending terran balance, everyone else seems more doubtfoul, weird conicidence isnt it ^^

Personally my guess would be that speed medivac and void ray will be the two first units to get nerfed, or should get at least.

This! Please Blizzard don't do what you did early in WoL and blast everything with nerfs! Let the game stabilize a bit! I mean it hasn't even been fucking released yet, give people time to play around with new unit comps and strats and ways to handle them etc.

The worst thing Blizzard could do is cave into the mindless whining and nerf everything into oblivion!

Complete bullshit. Name that patch. It's like this thread is full of people who have never seen a game of HotS before this.

Queen change for TvZ. There are others i'm sure.


You said TvP not TvZ. But even when talking about TvZ, if you actually believe that the queen patch had more impact on the matchup than the entirety of the HotS changes then you don't even have a functional brain.

Thank you! I am talking about what we see in this tournament of course.


What...? I give up, you have to be trolling me.

Open the notepad and write the following:
1)First post by me (Sapphire), : There have been patchs that had a bigger impact on play then HOTS has on WOL for TvP
-patch in WOL with a bigger impact on PLAY then...
-HOTS had on TvP
2)First post by you:slight insult and asking for clarification;
3)Second post by me: clarification by example give;
4)Second post by you: reading comprehension failuire that brings further insults

Sorry, but if you want to start a trend, you need a more catchy name. Also HotS is not a patch...
