The semifinals were completed december 10th when the quarters were december 8th; why wait an entire 8 days to play the finals? That just is too long. They change venue and set up a big event. So I'm guessing they need time to set everything up and get people. Could be wrong though. | ||

Balance patch or not, players will just need to adapt their play. A good player will know what to do, even If this particular patch being kinda a Terran's nerf + Protoss's buff. Anyway, I agree that Blizzard could wait...won't hurt anyone. Now it's too late to do anything I guess hahah If they release the patch, people will complain. And If they don't release the patch, people will say "Blizzard only cares about Korean tournaments blah blah blah". I don't blame. Blizzard must win rivers of money from the Koreans. | ||

But everyone who posted actually agrees to one point though nobody really mentioned it. BNET 2.0 SUCKS BIG TIME ! Especially for running tournaments. We need Lan or special tournament servers. | ||

The only thing thats really affected is the phoenix build time and the slightly lower observer cost. I can't see either of these affecting the outcome of a finals. | ||

There is the scv repair priority fix. That could affect the outcome. One one hand, the balance changes are not that big and they do lead to a more balanced game, but on the other hand, Blizzard's not giving the pros the time to adapt to the small changes when they could easily delay the patch a couple days. | ||

PTR is US only atm so most koreans won't be able to test anything unless they have an account. This new patch is going to buff Protoss so badly in air LOL. MC lives with Team Liquid so i think thats a possibility. The balance changes for the new patch are not very significant. Rain just needs to be ready to see more phoenixes faster. | ||

On the other hand i don't know anything about the reactions that went directly towards blizzard when they did a balance patch while gsl was running (the ultra thingie and bugging the phoenix etc). Like people spamming them with mails or gsl people writing an evil letter. If the reaction was in the normal "we hate the firm that made this" way, they probably will go on doing it. | ||

Of course THEY CAN. What's stopping them? Nothing. Will anything stop them? No. Why? Is this game Yours? Well,no. Is Blizzard Yours? No. I am happy that patch comes so fast. I don't care about GSL and how it is doing. EDIT: Same way You could say using new start in finals only is "cheating","wrong" because they "did not use to do it" etc etc. | ||

10 seconds off Phoenix and 20% Void Ray damage to Massive is gonna barely hurt anything. It's not like you have to relearn the matchup. | ||

Had it been something that changed entire openings like the Terran nerfs, it would be different. 10 seconds off Phoenix and 20% Void Ray damage to Massive is gonna barely hurt anything.

The real problem is the when they do stuff like this things like FD ultralisk bugging his way to the finals (Not that he didn't deserve it but still) | ||

Blizzard is balancing it so that the finals is played as balanced as it can be. The Phoenix buff is only going to be good as a tech switch when viking numbers get big. Opening Phoenix against a bio ball is just stupid... Yeah it could do damage, but at any time the terran can basicly all-in you and kill you (PFFT RAIN DOESN'T DO THAT EL OH EL) The only reason to open phoenix is if you see him teching early. + some idiot said that the scv repair fix would change the match-up. GOOD! as a terran player i laugh when people attack my PF. PF>80 food army. | ||
