Agree with this.

I'm happy for the PB nerf in ZvZ (two Vipers can decimate an entire Mutalisk flock in seconds) but I'm a bit worried if Liberators are going to dominate the match up in TvZ now, late game when there is 10+ Liberators you really need PB to kill them quickly and they are usually already split up to cover more ground.

Time will tell, adjustments can always be made.

Can there ever be a such thing as too much freedom??

It's pretty crazy that they would change the date for the patch. It's even weirder that the reason is basically, "oops, forgot about code S".

Maybe they didn't forget about it. Maybe they thought it would be fairer to patch right away, but then players/teams approached them and asked them to postpone it.

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.

there was only 1 zerg playing swarm host so it wasn't a big deal ;p ;p

I remember TB crying in the thread about his poor guy since he was practicing for SH play though
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

The issue here would be that players have no time to practice on the new patch if the patch goes live before GSL. Now they will have couple of days to adjust and figure out ways to play the game.

I think David kim need some good macro protoss play in mid,late game vs terran that why he doesnt say anything after early game.
Even classic using adept and end game in blink of eyes lol.....
But recently i saw protoss did very good vs terran in both later stage in tournament.
But doesnt matter we need to see korean play.

People like you are just beyond ignorant to the state of the game if you think LotV protoss is weak.

I'm just confused on the whole "Protoss weak" thing, at least from watching Proleague and GSL (and other Korean level play) Protoss doesn't seem to be struggling against Zerg really at all and obviously is doin just fine vs. Terran.

So, when exactly is the patch kicking in? I must say LOTV is much more fun for me than the previous expansions.

Ok smart guy, let's wait for it ok? Remember my words and your words. I'm telling you, protoss is doing ok because of MACRO advantage. The adepts menace (requires cyclone and viking/lib) early on, and the PO security is allowing it on PvT/PvZ.

Cause it's probably at different times in different regions, I suspect. Also, things might go wrong and take longer than usual and people might get worked up over that.

Protoss late game options are undisputedly the strongest. I really cant comprehend how you can not realize this.

The amount of heavy splash / AOE damage is ridiculous not too mention how tanky units are. If you cant make it to this stage of the game then you really dont know how to play the game.

Terran has to prepare for your all ins whether theyre coming or not because there are so many of them its actually not possible to scout whats coming. Just spin the wheel of protoss all ins and you'll come out on top most of the time.

God forbid protoss players will actually have to work for their wins.


Dont come at me with your bronze league logic, its not welcome anywhere near a balance discussion.
