A new balance patch that's sure to drastically change the way Legacy of the Void is played will be released soon. The GSL broadcasting team, sponsored by AfreecaTV, has now announced a tournament showcasing these changes.

From November 10 to November 14, 16 competitors will have the chance to show off their skill at adapting to these changes and earn themselves some prize money. The round of 16 and the quarterfinals will be held online, while the semifinals and finals will be held at the FreecUp Studio.

This is cool, but hopefully they will push out more changes specifically to Protoss, since this lineup is so Protoss heavy. If it's only DT Blink and 6 Supply Tempests, we will just have a bunch of PvP's that are almost no different from pre patch.

As an aside, by dates, this tournament appears to overlap with the WESG APAC qualifiers, but the exact schedule for that isn't announced yet. If there's conflict there it's possible TY won't participate in this one.

Who knows? From this it looks like right after Blizzcon.

They removed that ability... it's a stun instead
