Blizzard has released patch 1.2.0 for SC2 and it promises to be a really exciting patch with updates to Battle.net itself with players being able to create chat channels, a new master league, stalemate detection and customizable hotkeys!

• Battle.net Chat Channels have been added! Players can now join others in both public and private channels.
• Added in-game chat bar command to whisper to other players. Using the "/w" command will open up a list of available friends, party members, chat channels, and other players within your current game.
• Added Battle.net option to auto-join previous private channels.
• Added Battle.net option to prevent chat channel text from appearing in in-game chat display.
• A new Master League has been added! This league now represents the highest tier of players.
• Customizable Hotkey Support has been added.
• Stalemate Detection has been added. This will end the game in a tie for all remaining players if no players have income, production, or destroyed structures for three consecutive minutes. A countdown timer will now appear when the game detects this scenario.
• An Extreme graphics option is now available. Players can now configure screen space ambient occlusion.

Yeah, I've been playing with the patch for a few months already so it's not really a huge impact, but it's nice everyone has it now.

Seems like a decent patch, especially for all the Battle.net changes and customising your own hotkeys, that'll make playing a little bit easier especially for myself

The biggest thing for me has been the phoenix build time being decreased. It allows for an earlier harass especially against zerg.

I agree entirely, I did struggle a little with holding off the early Phoenixes.
