The American star Greg "IdrA" Fields talks about the new patch for StarCraft 2, released Wednesday, 22nd of September, from a Zerg's perspective.
IdrA's new team, EG, asked him to comment the changes the latest patch brought with it, and what in his opinion still needs to be done.
“
Blizzard patched the state the game was in several weeks ago.”- "Blizzard patched the state the game was in several weeks ago, and didn't address many developments in game play that have since made the patch almost irrelevant. ZvT and ZvP will remain largely unchanged while the balance issues in TvP will only be made worse, terran will now be even stronger early and protoss even stronger late in the game."
The American, who trains with the best in South Korea, sees the Terran's reaper nerf as a good thing.
- "But it only slightly weakens one of Terran's many aggressive openings versus Zerg," says IdrA. "All other Terran aggression, hellions, hellion drops, banshees, bio allins, tank allins, thor allins, remains mostly untouched."
In contrast to this, he thinks that the increase of the zealot's built time by five seconds was a reasonable change, and might contribute to the early game of Zerg in a decent way, having more time to set up defense against early zealot pushes.
Discuss: What are you thoughts about the new patch? Do you agree or disagree with IdrA?
