I'm really curious (my gut tells me PvP is my highest despite struggling with it early on, I think I figured most of it out as it stands now, then PvZ and PvT is atrocious simply because there's a timing window where u can't scout the terran properly, just when he/she decides how the basic BO of the matchup is altered. I haven't figured out a solution for that yet, just guesswork =. And if anything is overpowered in this game atm, Marauders are. They're simply ridic with stim )

seen the new patch notes?

Waiting for a first PvT where T doesn't get to build anything besides his first depot because of worker harras now. Seriously, T has to pull more SCV's than there are probes or he's fucked because of rapid shield regeneration.

hahaha baneling break protosses hahahahaha
oh lawd

not EU obv..

Uninstalled beta. I have 0 self control. I just play and ob games all day.

got an allright division. Not something insane like first stage of beta had- i.e. Jinro Whitera naugrim xlord etc etc.
Gots merz, goody, lash, firstandlast, yayba. andead, daveron, bigboyat and redtoss.
Prolly some smurfs here and there. Expecting a fun fight for top8:D

I like the patch because fast 2 rax vs P was fucking OP so far, but I don't like how blizzard went on solving this. I have yet to play a game with the new patch, but even in the previous one I harassed the shit out of terrans with my first probe, this should make it that much easier.

Especially since the SCV doesn't have a faster attack rate than probes / drones, unlike in SC1.

Time to get into a stuffed platinum division now

P.s.: Daut, I've seen the new patch notes but are you referring to my first sentence? I don't see anything about matchup specific statistics anywhere in there
