Blizzard has dropped a controversial new 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:StarCraft 2 patch just a few weeks before a major tournament, and it looks like the Zerg cabal is winning agai𝔉n♌.
If you don't know how StarCraft works, it's a stra🌱tegy game featuring three playable factions: the human Terran, ethereal alien Protoss, or buglike Zerg. Competitive StarCraft arguably set the stage for modern esports, and while StarCraft 2 hasn't kept up with the popularity of esports games like League of Legends or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, it remains a lucrative sport for top teams and players.
It's been very difficult to compete with Zerg players for a very, very long time. Zerg players have been taking consecutive world championship wins for the better part of a decade, and as of the most recent patch launched in July 2022, Protoss pros in particular have been struggling ag🍎ainst the Zerg onslaught. With one more balance patch landing before the massive IEM Katowice tournament in February, players were holding out some hope that the situation would be addressed.
landed on January 23, with a host of buffs and nerfs for all three races that are essentially indecipherable if you haven't spent the last few years digging out your spot on the StarCraft 2 ladder. But basically, the sentiment from players is that changes to key Protoss units make them even less ef𝓰fective at a high level, and the handful of improvements for the faction doesn't do enough to counteract them.
You don't need me to quote a bunch of tweets and Reddit comments for you here - you can just browse social media to see the meltdown for your൩self - but there's that basically sums the situation up: "I just love this. Literally no one is happy. This is great."
Last week, caster Nathanias suggested in a () that speaking up about the "Zerg cabal" had led to blacklisting from tournaments. The notion of a secretive cabal of Zerg players running the game from behind the scenes, like some StarCraft Illuminati, quickly among the community, but a Zerg-favoring patch landing just weeks before a major tournament is turning a lot of StarCraft players iꦺnto conspiracy theorists. Most of them are joking. (Probably.)
