Also remember the blink cooldown change isn't supposed to make it into next patch if we believe the balance test post, so the test map isn't what TvP will look like either.

Its still a much more likely and relevant change than any theoretical SH nerf.

Thanks XMG and ToD! Anything new & creative to keep the StarCraft 2 scene fresh is laudable. I was sad at first to see no Terran (so strange to say that as I originally hated Terran and now I enjoy watching them a great deal) but I bet ToD has a plan for more.
And what's the deal with Stephano? Studying pre-med not as fun as playing StarCraft? I'll definitely be watching - more fun than many of the other things I should be doing.

I really hope this is some sort of oversight. You're literally about to hold a balance test TOURNAMENT in an era in which Terran is suffering immensely, yet you're excluding them entirely. How in the world does this make ANY sense?

I think this is the clear type of game (Mana v Firecake) Blizz was trying to avoid with the new balance patch, I think it does show the Tempest change, while looking useful, still allows these kinds of games to happen, which imo is just not my thing.

The Zerg is losing with their turtle style. If massing one unit works so well, then Swarmhosts will fall out of the meta. They aren't the problem in any case, Static D of the Zerg is.

Yeah, you're correct - if this ends up in a 3 - 0 and turtle sh games in general go that way, the style will fall out. Was just feeling a little frustrated watching but that's what this tourney is for haha

Lol, first Wings of Broodlord Infestor. Second, Heart of the Swarm Host. Hey, Blizzard free units is a bad idea.

My only question is why haven't they given Carriers free units.
