A wonderful article that developed from an initial draft. Pleasure to read!

Great article, even if the grammar nazi inside me keeps reminding that "enormity of drones" isn't quite what you wanted to say. Synonyms for enormity include "atrociousness, badness, depravedness, diabolicalness, evilness, heinousness, hideousness, monstrosity, sinfulness, vileness, wickedness".

I'll never forget when Samwise and the band was singing the "Swarm" song at BlizzCon 2011 closing ceremony
and i'll always remember also the showmatch of FruitDealer vs (real) Boxer at Blizzcon 2010, that was the first time i ever seen baneling drops used

"We are July, we are Losira! We are NesTea, we are FruitDeala'--- FRUITDEALAHHHHH"

I remember being completely stunned watching him take down that first GSL title. It was unbelievable to think that a Zerg could win that season. Too bad he fell off, at least we have NesTea now! :D

When I saw FruitDealer play, I was encouraged to play Zerg even more. FruitDealer is the man.

interesting article. i will now go eat an apple

Great writeup on one of the early greats. I'm glad that this was written so that younger-generation players know who to look up to when they think about revoltionizing builds.

A great article about an interesting bit of Sc2 esports history. I should go rewatch those games.

Great writeup, the two finalists from the very first GSL are still two of my favourite SC2 players.
