  1. Nice fix on the login, Neo :P .

    After reading the TL thread for these changes, I thought I was dreaming. I say that because people were treating the reduced upgrade costs like game-breaking things. The fact of the matter is that when Protoss is on 3-4 base and gets 3/3 from double forge, they’ve only saved 150/150 :S. It’s not a huge value lol ;o.

    I kinda saw the Ghost nerf coming. I don’t know how much it will change, but I think it will have some effect on TvP in particular. Too early to say how big it will be though.
