One design issue with terran is how vulnerable it is in the early game compared to its opponents, this is something they should look at if terran starts underperforming after the patch. | ||

Hopefully... I just played on one of the balance maps and the new roaches are super fun. Is this one season before a new season for WCS? | ||

Cool, thanks for the info. So happy they're doing an off-season for balance feedback and map feedback. Should be a good time. And the perfect time to be getting back into SC. I took a 3 month break, and goddamn, it's like coming home.  | ||

I suppose IEM Singapore, Dreamhack winter, Redbull battlegrounds and Homestory cup don't count? Because otherwise now is the time when plenty of tournaments happens just as the patch drops. | ||

This sounds awfully and unnecessarily aggressive >.< I love HSC and Dreamhack, and they are certainly important. But, as none of them award WCS points, which happen to lead to the big $100k first prize tournament, I think most pros would rather have it now as opposed to right before a big WCS event that could ultimately affect their performance in one of the lead-up tournaments. | ||

Doing a major patch with 5 off-line tournaments within a month is simply BS. | ||

Tanks were only in wol because after you traded with banes, any damage you put in mutas remained. Now with regenmutas, tanks with 11% buff is not gonna trade well enough against banes to allow you to swing momentum against muta. I suspect tank buff is only to address roach bane busts. | ||

There's a big difference between patching the game now, vs. patching it while a WCS season is ongoing. | ||

Patches have to happen at some point and tub can't be delayed for every single event, because there will always be another event. | ||

give lalushs micro a try. just try a different eco system. try to change the warpgate tech. try some bw units ... modify them for sc2 etc... add player cards to profil. purchase wcs player pics (30cents ... players earn some money etc). the PTR can be so powerful.  | ||
