and our own game made from the MOD Kit. ok, you guys make the game. i'll be in charge of complaining about how i could easily have done a better job.

more seriously,
nice to see Blizzard's commitment to a design change in LotV. Blizzard is trying to take a very good game and make it into a great game. its a tough job.

i hope this event provides for some good data at the top level of play.

I mean i can understand that methodology, but the outcome is still bad :D
PvP all day simply makes no sense when you wanna showcase the new patch

The thing is, with that method, they don't have infinite options.

Protoss - all of them accepted

Terran - missing TaeJa (retired), Maru (probably focusing on WESG), ByuN (dunno why he's not involved), Cure (again, not sure why he's not there), Reality (almost certainly retired/retiring) and Bomber (also almost certainly retired)

Zerg - missing Dark and ByuL (no idea about either)

Sure but if that is the outcome then we need another method :D
They really should strife for the best possible racial balance here as biggest priority.
Yes Innovation and soO might not be the best players atm (most likely), but i would take them over having only pvp to show any day

When is the patch supposed to hit servers?
I didn't read the patch notes and stuff, but on paper, what is the balance supposed to look like after this patch?

what im asking myself is will WESG be played out on the old patch? Because playing parts of a touney on different patches doesnt make much sense to me.

I hope one of the Terrans does Mech vs Protoss and wins the entire thing.

but did it actually matter more than KeSPA Cup? from what I see they're both in TOP 8 of Blizzcon and (P)Zest got best Korean PvP player (P)Stats against him.

I'm not so sure he got the better deal out of it.

Neeb got Dark. That's probably a lot worse than Stats.

This is great, though I do hope the lineup IS subject to a little change.

With how the balance looks like I wouldn't be surprised to see almost no toss in the later stages of the tournament.
Probably better to invite lots of protoss so they have a higher chance of advancing.

Doesn't the new balance patch only include the cyclone and ultralisk changes and not the rest of them? Or are they going to play on the test map? If not inviting a bunch of protosses doesn't sound productive.
