I know this isn't my first time pointing this out, but we used to ban people for crap like this, did we not? This term, "Patchzergs" is basically implying that the zergs who've had [limited] success lately are only successful due to some imbalance, and not by their own merit. It's underhandedly, in the snide roundabout way, insulting players while also insinuating some balance whine. It'd be garbage posting even in a balance thread, and this isn't even a balance thread. Really just disappointed. I know we all have our race-bias, but please have the self-awareness to not be a snide d-bag about it. | ||

There was a boom of European Zergs that no one ever heard of performing well after the patch. Coincidence or not, the term patch zergs just applies to the Zergs that have had success only recently. Stating MvP should beat Zergs that have not been dominant for long is not that bad of a statement. | ||

Mvp is a born champion and he rarely loses in the finals... He has the balls to do whatever it takes to win, so I'm pretty sure that if he gets to the finals, he wins. You can never underestimate MC but he did lose a fair share of his finals, to Taeja, Puma, Seed etc. | ||

Coincidence or not, you don't have to invent a term for newcomer players centered around their race in a way that implies that they've been made OP by a very small patch change. If you really think players like Vortix owe their success to some patch, at least have the decency to say it plainly. | ||

If you mean that he continued to win despite terran getting nerfed with every single patch, sometimes even in the middle of gsl season, than yes, he is ultimate patch player  | ||

When did head 2 head results get trumped by maps won? I love ESL and totally respect Carmac.. but this can't be right can it? And for those that do not think its a big deal.. it is. It sets a very bad precedent for other events. It should almost ALWAYS be head 2 head that decides a tie within a group or division. Am I missing something here? | ||
