Widow mine buff killed zealot archon. Yeah for sure. I'm not that sad about it, it's such an amove composition. But would be nice to see a protoss composition that aren't as reliant on the mass aoe. Feel it all comes down to forcefields being in the game so basic gateway units can't fight straight up vs basic terran units.
Also bad for templar opening which is more APM intensive than colossus play :/
Edit> Jeez, these positions.

EDIT: No I don't think it changes the regeneration speed. Shields aren't that much better than armor though. Keep in mind that it's only when the stalkers have taken enough damage that at least would've damaged the health without the +shields, regen and then taken damage like that again that shields are more effective than armor. Which isn't very often. If you're adding zealots in the composition, armor gets a lot better already. It's not that simple. Stalkers have 80 hitpoints + 80 shields. Ignoring the fact that they already have +1 armor , which makes armor upgrades slightly better,statistically speaking (assuming units deal a low amount of damage compared to the total amount of shields, and the type of damage dealt to shields is the same dealt to hitpoints) the damage reduction is proportional to the damage taken. Stalkers have the same amount of hitpoints as shields, which means you'll never take more damage on armor (which is permanent) than on shield (can be regenerated), in particular well microed blink stalkers can absorbe much more damage on shields than on armor. That being said this works only for stalkers, most protoss units have more hitpoints than shields, and there's always the fact that they have +1 base armor, which means that adding a further +1 will make more difference.
The stalkers still have to take what would've been armor damage for the shield upgrade to be effective.
For example, say a stalker takes 50 damage without shield upgrade, and 45 damage with shield upgrade. Then the upgrade had no effect, since they still will heal up to full shields.
So it's only for the small window where they take >80 damage without upgrades where the shield upgrade has an effect. And it's only when it happens more than once where shield upgrades are better than armor upgrades.

In other news, does Dreamhack have any plan on a new overlay for 2015 so we can see something in the production tab?

Ok , now I get your point. Still, usually as a protoss player you want to have the shields completely taken out before blinking a stalker back, so what you describe shouldn't happen that often.

yeah they should adjust the resolution so it's easier to see. It's still kinda hard to read with fullscreen 1080p monitor.

On this map pool is BO5 pretty hard though. It is drop friendly and, well, MMA is really good Terran who loves his drops. No big surprise here
