Starcraft II Gateway: United States
We've got some exciting stuff in the works, wanted to let you guys know what's coming! These are some of the experimental changes we'll be testing next patch:

     Quote:
Odin
-Removed Nuclear Strike ability
-Added new ability: Starstreak Barrage (anti-air AoE stun which also deals some damage)

Phoenix
-Auto-attack damage multiplier against heroic units significantly increased

Mothership
-Vortex duration halved, now has cooldown

Spectre
-EMP flight time reduced, range slightly increased
-Percentage-based lash, intended to 1-shot any hero without being able to 1-shot elites

Commando
-Percentage-based snipe, taking into account the difference in levels between the commando and the enemy hero being sniped

Lancer
-Added increased shield regeneration on blink, intended to reward better blink micro

Along with some smaller balance changes/bugfixes. This patch will likely not be published until the tournament is finished.
Hopefully you're as excited as we are!
