Well no, I mean T aren't "meant" to win, they aren't intrinsically better like Happy seems to think, but these days, when I watch a game, I very rarely think that the winner didn't deserve his victory. Time Warp nerf was great after all and TvZ doesn't seem to have switched too much, it's actually quite balanced. I have to say so far I'm very happy with the patch and the overall state of the game. | ||

Granted Innovation did go up against some odd styles (pheonix collossus). Yeah but thats Maru's playstyle, hes very aggressive and focuses on the mid-game a lot. INnoVation played very passively yesterday. | ||

I agree. It almost feels like protoss are underestimating terrans a lot. I think in due time protoss will adapt and the game should be fairly balanced | ||

Ok thats good, I guess I'm a bit sensitive over the whole Terran superiority thing  I do agree that recent games have been closer and the wins more hard earnt, however I struggle to believe that such a small patch could have such a large impact on the state of the game. It does seem to be working so far though, so what do I know? :D Edit: English | ||

So I guess is was easy before the patch ? :D I don't get trap, sometimes he held WM drop perfectly, and 10min later he's totally lost. He needs obs on his army too, never get one. | ||

I never said that , and I don't think Protoss was easy to play before the patch. But I definitely think playing Protoss was a tad easier than playing Terran and I'm glad Time Warp was nerfed. | ||

Oh I read it :D Obviously, some mistakes were made, but I still like the round robin format - I mean, there is a reason why it's widely used throughout most major sports. | ||

Time Warp needs to be laid with much more carefulness now which impacts every P match-ups (notably PvP by the way where immortal/chargelot/archon is slowly fading away to favor heavy colossi styles) and mines are back to what they should have never ceased to be : a powerful zoning unit and a real early game threat. I'm not surprised at all the effects of the patch are of this magnitude, and yeah, Protoss players will definitely need some time to adapt, but as usual when a race was slightly favored the cream of the Protoss will remain : Rain, Zest or PartinG will show us how it's meant to be done, I'm sure ! | ||
