Dreiven: 'Psi storm is not as good as I want it to be'

Dreiven has been known to the StarCraft community for a long time and has now moved on to StarCraft 2 with his teammates from mouz. Dreiven talks about what he thinks of StarCraft 2 and the new Battle.net so far, and explains that grouping a lot of units has become a handicap for him rather than something useful.

Fragster.de sat down with Dreiven for a chat about StarCraft 2 and Dreiven explains that he misses the old Battle.net since there currently are no chat rooms in the new one, but finds different functions very useful however.

I like the idea with the leagues when players got split between appropriate skill leagues like silver or platinum but I think the divisions are unnecessary. We play with each other anyway so what’s the point of splitting us.

Dreiven also explains that he expected the game to be easier than it turned out to be, and that you now can select an infinite amount of units to one hot key is rather a handicap to him since it's harder to flank armies that way.

I'm a big fan of High Templars and the Storms but they are not that effective as I would like them to be
When asked the question to go for colossus or high templars with psi storm against marines and marauders, Dreiven's choice was the high templars with storm. He still thinks it should be better, and the same goes for colossus since they die very quickly, and are not as useful as they should after they got nerfed. Unfortunately for Dreiven and the other protoss players out there, Blizzard decided to decrease the radius of the psi storm.
