Recorded an interview/discussion with Mana about the test changes of Blizzard for the next patch. Talking about PvT, potential changes for LotV and general balance:

Always happy to hear from the pros regarding the state of the game/changes. Especially since this is mostly the feedback that Blizzard is going to heed

I was happy to see that they are trying out the MSC vision range change that was suggested in the comments on Reddit after the last testpatch was released. So let's hope that they really listen to the pros regarding the feedback to the current test changes

Mana saying pretty much word for word what I've been saying for years, he is a smart man indeed. Cool to hear some clear headed feedback from a pro protoss player.

You could coordinate with Zealously, Teoita, and others from TL strategy who are compiling a list of pro reactions. That means the feedback is more balanced, as pro's from different races are all represented. But there's also no reason to have all the content typed up, these videos provide way more content, and could be included in that thread.

Even if they nerfed Protoss so much that it actually became balanced, the race is so easy to play, any casuals would become grand master.

I like his comments at the end. I've been saying this for years. Kind wonder if I would have made it to GM by now playing P or Z. I was so close with Terran a few times when I was most active.

Fuck me, then I'm truly bad as a Protoss player because I've been playing since 2011 and the best I could achieve was Top 25 master.

Definitely! With all the WC3 connections, I'd imagine he could get an all-star panel going. Anyhow thanks for the video Khaldor, waiting on the book reviews.

He said it himself, blink stalker allowed them to be aggressive and passive and defend anything early on. It's also near impossible to scout to see if its a full commitment for T. Guess they'll have to do finally do something other than blink.

I will give a listen when I get home, I don't suppose some a high-level text overview is possible atm?

Thanks for the interview

Man, real talk from Mana there in the last couple minutes! Tell it like it is!

no don't take the sight range from the Locust. Then they will run into the tanks and actually deal damage. Need to find time to play the test map myself though.
