I don't think disintegration is a good idea. The science vessel worked in brood war because zerg had some high utility units that terran needed to be able to cull, an analogous situation for tempests would be having a few of them near your army to eliminate vipers, brood lords and ultralisks, but I think that protoss should be capable of facing such armies straight up without mutual destruction gimmicks. Certainly protoss needs to invest its gas into units like archons and can't really afford tempests without going all-in on them. In Starcraft 2 you are also more likely to mass anti-air and create a viking / corruptor fleet to deal with an investment into tempests and this forces void rays / carriers and establishes these back-and-forth air battles which I find to have dubious value. Furthermore, it seems that disintegration has bad interactions with transfuse (creating an apm sink to invalidate the ability) and it lacks some of the cool aspects of irradiate. | ||

I guess LotV maybe gave a bump of additional 5-10k viewers. He's had up to 40k viewers on his normal streams (i.e. sim city launch). | ||

I think TB is usually fairly quick at uploading VODs, so it should take less than a day. You can access the VODs now on Twitch if you subscribe to TB! http://www.twitch.tv/totalbiscuit/b/609807425 | ||

LotV looks to have awesome potential, though these games highlighted some issues as well. Protoss, as many people had predicted, just has to change somehow to work in this new environment. Also Tempests are awful and complete killjoys. Worst unit so far by a mile. You can see in a lot of the protoss games (I think especially by Alicia) that players don't know how to use the new warpgate yet. They warp in units directly underneath an enemy army and then seem kinda surprised it doesn't work. This is unfortunately what happens whenever you change core mechanics, but hopefully this knowledge won't deter Blizzard from pushing this change through. To be honest, I think that the purpose of the warpgate nerf (&sentry nerf vs zerg) has to be part of an attempt to make gateway units more viable, because otherwise it leads to games where protoss goes straight to tempests and even forgoes gateways entirely (like Crank did). | ||
