Seems like a very weird timing. | ||

Either way, you can't really say something like this, if a protoss wants to get out warpgate at the same fast timing they used to do (used 2 chronos on it) now they have to use 4 chronos on it to get it out the same time. Obviously a pretty big change. 5 CB, hardcore 4gate already used 4. It just means one less CB on probes at the start and a 10second later 4gate. Wont stop its strength at all. | ||

"We got this super huge bigass LAN tournament, but gotta move it because we fear we can't play proplery because Bnet servers might be down." Yeah. Imagine it would not be GSL but something like IEM or Dreamhack, where they have a much tighter schedule and play, for example, on Cebit and thus can't move their schedule freely. | ||

I'm Zerg, so going against Archons hurts, but I just love them. They're so awesome! | ||

A slightly weaker 4-gate economy, and a 4-gate that hits 13 seconds later, is a pretty big deal when you're frantically trying to CB out an Immortal. But for non-Toss matchups, and if you aren't 4-gating or doing another early game all-in, I'd agree its fairly negligible | ||

Speaking about overreacting.. there are tons of Starcraft 2 tournaments nowadays launching/ending on a daily base. They really can't adapt there schedule to everyone nor make them all happy at the same time. I would argue the PTR time was rather low and expected it to be launched a bit later however. | ||

Well, at least they had an entire PTR to test out the changes before applying them to the real game. Hopefully, nothing will get fucked up in the transition between PTR and the full game. | ||

Actually I'd rather see the upgrae completly gone, but since Blizzard will not do that we just wont use Thors vs P again. Pretty much like it was back at the beginning. | ||

Alot of thor based builds involve an early push, in which your gas is starved, you cant get a ghost academy and a ghost without screwing with your timing,. so it makes a big difference in build orders. | ||
