| Blizzard: This will teach them to ask for patches, we will make it massively overkill in some areas, ineffective in others, and WHAM right before a major tourney weekend. This should take some pressure off boys. |

I feel like Blizzard does not just do stupid shit like this out of pure ignorance. I feel like they do it just to let us know that they don't really care enough about the professional scene to change the way they do things. |

| the patch sucks. Plain as that. Mules on the rich fields are now liitle good to the positive impact on income for terran. I think that mules shouldn't be changed. Ghosts aren't that big of a deal. Most people got them for hts anyway so now they are even better :D |

Can you not practice it on PTR or did they give up on that concept?
I guess you can get people to loan you SEA accounts and play with US->SEA->US blizzard troll latency. |

No PTR for this patch. It seems unless it's a large patch (in this case, 1.5.0) they don't bother with a PTR. Save time/energy/money without it. |

| it seems like they are delaying in SEA in order for the GSL semis to happen but they are still doing this right before MLG and Assembly? Makes no sense. Just do all servers on the 27th/28th. |

But... GSL is on the KR server, not SEA |

| Jinro said it best. I play zerg and I think the ghost change is just stupid. QXC put it best, a little less damage to massivem but not that much more, jesus. |

no ptr, they don't really expect the patch to change much in any matchup, so they don't see a reason to watch for any tournament. (assembly could play on sea yay lagfest vs patch what a choice)
I mean they even said in their reasoning, that snipe still works against both t3 units of zerg. And i guess in their internal tests it still worked (maybe their zerg tester don't know transfuse or the terran has some secret ghost micro no one has found so far).
Either way, Blizzard has the opinion that the changes won't affect the matchups, just changing the difficult level in favor of the weaker race at this point, so i guess its a good position for the patch. But its better if players can train in the new enviroment first as it will feel differently. Wonder who is wrong though. The people saying ghosts are dead, or blizzard saying no problemo.
I still go with mass ghosts don't even work pre patch and will miss shakuras turtling terrans waiting for their 20 ghosts. |

little good to the impact on terran income? they mine as fast as a scv on gold....which is still like 10 extra scvs if you decide to drop 10 on the gold....which is still fuckin good.
Or just switch your scv's to the gold and mule the blue...have amazing income on both.... you can't be serious with this post.
ghost change isn't a big deal either? your first point says you're a biased terran and your second says your a biases but really bad terran.
Ghosts are great tvz late game. ATM they make infestors useless, kill broodlords quicky and ultra somewhat well. an Infestor/corrupter/broodlord army should lose easy to ghosts with the rest of the good mixture since ghosts can own both the infestor and broodlord and long as they dont get fungaled....which they shouldn't. With this huge nerf, not only will they be uselss against most things(look at Qxc's blog) but broodlords and ultras will be pretty sick. Especially when you go BL first, wait for a huge bank before attacking and then remax on ultra ling baneling while terran will most likely have like 20+ vikings.
I'm zerg BTW. It's too much of a huge zerf on ghosts but the mule thing is needed. It's the reason why Gsl doesn't have golds and most pro terrans, zergs, and protosses believe it's really powerful to have 10 mules mine as fast as a protoss/zerg/terran on 3 bases. Of course terrans would like to keep it just like any other race would like to keep something as awesome as that but it really needed to be changed. |

no wonder jinro has no success, moaning about changes everyone will experience... YOU NEED THE EYE OF THE TIGER JINRO! STOP BEEING SUCH A SOMETHING! 
Because, you know, releasing a game-changing patch that will affect almost every pro T's lategame strategy is such a wise idea and Jinro isn't qualified to point out how dumb it is?
Ofc ourse Jinro can state his opinion, that's not the point...
And nerfing Terran makes me really, really, i mean really really a sad panda.... poor terrans... terrans really had a hard time since release... really....

That's not true lol. I recommend watching GSL or kr terrans in foreign events where they crush and win. If terran is struggling since release well I wonder how the other races are considered then...
But looking forward to patch release although its retarded to release it right before a majore tournament xD |
