But of course I ask too much. No one could have foreseen that.

Please stop. PvT is balanced right now. You might not like the way it is balanced, but according to the numbers it is.

Yeah, I know. I'm not arguing that it is fine the way it is. I'm just sick of the endless whining. The game is ugly, but Terrans win just as much as Protoss. Apologizing to Innovation is therefore nothing more than QQing.

Please stop. I didn't say PvT isn't balanced right now.

INnoVation is a player who does not deal well with dumb early game builds, this bad meta hits him especially hard.

But he was screwed anyway, maybe he was preparing a strategy that only worked post patch and now that its delayed his practice was wasted.

Changing the date the very same day was a really shitty move.

Changing the date is very silly. You want to remove known abusive strategies right away.

that is the risk you take when you play an RTS game with racial diversity less than 6 months after its release date. its not like LotV is the first ever game to have big issues right after its release. and its not like any one was blind-sided. any one could get into the beta.

It was previously announced that we would be releasing a balance update to the live StarCraft II client on Thursday, January 28 (PST). Due to IEM qualifiers occurring in EU, and GSL matches that would be held immediately after the patch going live, we have opted to postpone the balance update until Friday 1/29 (PST, or Saturday 1/30 in KR).

Funny, didn't stop them from implementing the SH patch right before a Code A matchday last year.

Well, but GSL at least guaranteed Impact that they'd play his ZvT on a custom map with the pre-patch swarm host, so everything was fine, right?

Except after the patch the custom map didn't work and he had to play on the new balance anyway. I vividly remember TB going apeshit in the LR thread over that. Funny that they care this year, isn't it?

Well, it's always good when they care about those little things which can be quite big for the particular players.

because of what has gone down in previous years with patches... govern yourself accordingly and take responsibility for your decisions to play this game.

the cries of "this is so unfair" have the vibe of a 13 year whining to their parents about some house rule.
