So,
you're probably wondering where this new term from and what it means. I got it from watching Orb's stream last nite, in EU... might have been day at his end... You can find the VODs on justintv.

Anyway, from his description, a 'push-over Archon' is an Archon with no upgrades. You see, in a game he played a gainst a Z who was going mass-Muta, Zerglings, he had Archons that were 2-1 on upgrades. On engagement, he lost the fight and accused his units, while subtly insinuating that Z might be OP (OMG!! who would have thought?), that they were not push-over Archons: "These are 2-1 Archons!" he said.

Our hero kept making 'non-push-over Archons' and sending them into battle valiantly. The game ended in the opponent's favour. However, it was a happy ending, where both players said "gg" and did not accuse the other's race of being ridiculously retarded!

So here it is: the story behind the 'push-over Archon' and the man who gave it birth! Please excuse my english grammar as this is not my 1st language
For more iconic moments check out Orb's stream on TL; he's on whenever he feels like (at least from what I've observed) :D

*If I've somehow broken any rules with my post, pls be kind enough to point them out to me so I can edit them out, instead of banning me and removing the thread entirely!

You'd have to do some ridiculous shit to get banned from a blog post.

That said, Archons are still so terrible in SC2 T_T.

This is possibly one of the worst blogs ever. What are you even talking about?

Orbs stream is like a sewer where all you hear is a guy whining and whining about PvZ. I reccomend everyone to stay away so their brain doesnt get melted from stupidity...

Orb's good, he just gets frustrated sometimes... like we all do! That being said: is raging 1 of the trademarks of his stream? YES! It's nothing forced though. It's not like he does it for more viewership.

What else can I say? Check it out for yourselves sometimes! He's awesome :D
