OMG game 4 of Maru vs Dear was insane! Anybody else watching the season finals? Did anyone go actually, since it's in Toronto? Crowd has been crazy loud this weekend.

haven't watched it, but yeah the crowd is insane, never seen an energetic crowd like that since DH. MC casting hero vs vortix was pretty funny.

Game 1 was better. Crowd was easily the best in SC2 eSports in the foreigner world.

OMG the Terran tears all over the internet have been amazing the last couple of days with the new balance patch. They even got 2 buffs and still cry. I'll admit the oracle does seem even deadlier now though.

I haven't seen new balance patch and I played the last 3-4 days... ?

Also when Patch 2.1 hits, we get ingame BroodWar Music So stoked. It brings a couple clan features like ingame event calenday and clan decals ingame, but still no clan wars or tournaments They will be making arcade and custom games completely free for SC2 as well as ability to play all 3 races for free (currently can only play Terran).

Today, we'll be making the following balance changes for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm multiplayer:

Protoss

Oracle
Movement speed increased from 3.375 to 4.
Acceleration increased from 2 to 3.
Units that burrow or cloak while under the effects of Revelation will once again be revealed after unburrowing or uncloaking.

Terran

Armory
Vehicle and Ship Weapon upgrades have been combined.

Siege Tank
Siege Mode attack period decreased from 3.0 to 2.8.

Widow Mine
Sentinel Missiles now deal reduced damage to units caught within its splash radius based on their distance from the target:
40 damage within 1.25 radius.
20 damage from 1.25 to 1.5.
10 damage from 1.5 to 1.75.

Zerg

Roach Warren
The Tunneling Claws upgrade now increases burrowed Roach movement speed from 1.41 to 2.

Dat widow mine nerf is probably for TvZ. Not certain if the oracle speed buff will really help the unit be more useful.

You need to go on TL again. We're in an outrage.

Outrage? Has something changed? Don't people always get in a huff about balance?
