Blink nerf ? retarded, more than hydras for 25 gas
Tempest change ? silly
Hydra change ? Hope you like making colossi before dying to muta transitions
WM change ? It just reverts the PvT meta by ~9 months
MsC vision: When all the pros voices combined, they actually realized nerfing something other than damage, cost or research time is not a bad idea.

The 9 month old TvP meta was using pre-nerf hellbats not WM. WM have never been very vogue TvP. Which is funny they're buffing them when they're ever so slightly becoming standard in some people's compositions in the mid game.

One thing for sure, the accelerated game timer is one of the dumbest things in this game. It can't be mocked enough.
They really need to fix the obvious massive imbalance in the game right now. Watching a thousand PvPs with a PvZ sprinkled in and not a Terran in sight does not make for an interesting tourny.
It's only that way because the game is being played at a faster-than-normal speed. You could argue the default should be the ladder speed and the clock simply slows when played slower.

I know why it is that way
if almost everyone plays this game at "faster than normal" speed, that speed by definition of normal becomes normal.
Oh, I thought I was watching protoss best of the best..

Insert trolling comments about protoss players are honestly just better than everyone else here
If you look at past GSL performances during the "Great Terran Imba" (that was never worse than the current state of Protoss nor worse than end of life WoL Zerg) you'll notice most all the Terrans that got far weren't a product of the balance but proven themselves to be quality players.
Not to mention back then everyone was God awful at the game.

Was there just not any terrans that signed up for these open groups? Seems weird the only terran in these final stages of open stages was Revenge, who imo isn't even that great of a korean terran.
I guess if you look at the bracket stage though, there are 6 terrans, 5 protoss & 1 zerg that was straight invited to group stage (I think they were invited?)
Although now with 2 protoss advancing from open 1, and then either 2p, 1p1z or 2z advancing from Open 2, it'll be quite a sad day for zerg in group stages. Nothing but TvPs and PvPs lol. Then again if Hyun or Leenock make it through, either of them, or Jaedong could go far as well. I also don't see Innovation losing in this first round of group stages so there will at least be a terran in the Ro8...

I honestly don't know how the open bracket is working. Clearly it isn't "open" or else you wouldn't have nothing but top level foreign pros and non-KR region Koreans playing there. But yeah the groups already look quite nice. I somewhat expect two Zergs to emerge from this current open round. Hyun, Violet and Leenock are the three best in there. So I'll hope for that to try and even up the races a bit. I need to see TvZ action because my TvZ is abysmal right now.
Glad to see Incontrol advanced in the enders game tourny. He is such a nice guy if you hate him I don't think you're human.
