I think obviously it makes most sense from the eSports point of view to delay the main patch, and yes this is important in raising SC2's profile, etc, but I just don't think people get that Blizzard is a business, there are other factors e.g. they need to build in time post-patch pre-xmas in case anything goes wrong, they told a lot of people it'd be out by xmas... another example, getting Blizzard DOTA out (should that be happening this patch) might increase xmas holiday sales, etc. It's a business decision, not purely based around 1 series of games, no matter how significant they are. Yes it would be unfortunate were they to patch it today, and i'm sure they'd be aware of the issues, but to call them retarded, f*cking stupid, etc, just doesn't make sense to me... EDIT: F*** ME that's a big prize pool, though! | ||

Yeah I dont know... I wouldn't be suprised if it wasn't patched for a week. but i did get a warn woot! | ||

I didn't even get a chance to read all of the patch notes though, because the Blizzard updater ran almost right away. Those are the old patch notes, they display underneath the current patch notes and you read them by accident. | ||

Like 75% of my ladder stuff is "found player!" then nothing, then the text goes away, I'm back to the normal menu, and if I try finding a new match, it says my status is locked. Seems awfully similar to the way bnet was in the beta. | ||
