Im not too sure if im a big fan of the protoss upgrades, but time will tell. EMP isnt the problem! ITS SNIPE (im zerg hehehe)

Kinda thinking if these changes were necessary.

A lot of us are hoping this

Even if it forces out just a few more ghosts, that would be nice.

cool looks like im watching vods tomorrow morning

also: Hope the emp change helps out PvT. Im really hoping Protoss doesn't need any other buffs but if they become necessary I'll welcome them

EMP change doesn't make a difference late game because the terran usually has like 6 ghosts anyway. At the same time- it is better than no change. Also like the small changes to the upgrade costs =] overall not a bad patch.

Now go win MLG!!

But really, this looks like a lot more than it is. I'm glad Blizz made it but it's not too huge of a difference, just means terrans need to commit to a couple of extra ghosts late game and I get an extra 4 stalkers and an archon mid/late game.
