Bad timing but unavoidable unless pre-planned. This was clearly avoidable tho. Most of the time $100k cups are not simultaneous.

clearly avoidable? you're actually arguing blizzard should delay their patches so teams can have an easier time at LAN?

oh no we cant nano the reaper anymore, if only this patch we knew about for weeks and were given warning of werent here

That makes no sense, they actually said that one shouldn't expect the patch in its entirety to go live this time.

every one of the pros knew the patch was coming before this match, it wasnt a surprise

also competitive integrity is a strong term to throw around a meta reliant on nanoing a spinning a reaper for a teamwipe

Why are you so fixated on nano-reaper in this - far more widely applicable. Could just as easily happen with a patch the pros like.

ya of course, but I'm 100% against timing patches based on some arbitrary international event schedule.
