StarCraft II

While it hasn’t been officially announced on the StarCraft II SEA portal, patch 1.3.3 has been quietly rolled out to the SEA servers.

The highlights of the  latest balance patch for SC2 include changing the Protoss Archon to a Massive unit, preventing it from being slowed by Concussive Shells; reducing the salvage resource on Bunkers from 100% to 75%; and making Ghosts cost less gas and more minerals to produce, which some have taken to be a minor buff for Terran vs. Protoss.

Full patch notes are copied below:
