Nah, I'd go for viOlet, but Bomber was in the poll. D: Can't have two.

now someone just needs to let everyone know what "decimate" actually means.
They use it correctly, no?
dec·i·mate/ˈdesəˌmāt/ Verb: Kill, destroy, or remove a large percentage of. Drastically reduce the strength or effectiveness of (something): "plant viruses that can decimate yields".
Nope. I'm old-fashioned.
What is the old-fashioned meaning?
Killing every 10th soldier in a Roman legion as a form of punishment.

Decimate comes from latin, and deca in latin is 10. The original meaning comes from what the roman army was doing to any legion that would run from a fight - kill one out of every 10 soldiers.
Thanks. That makes sense. But also it's easy to see how it evolved to its current popular meaning. Such is an act of humiliation and genocide, thus borders with complete destruction.

Was this ever confirmed? isn't the IPL also running on twitch API? I, although pretty sadly, just concluded that most of the casuals got bored of BLZZZzzZZZZzzz and slowly faded away in the past few months.

G1: Bomber defends some cheesy attack on Ohana ftw (didn't see it) G2: Bomber opens cloak banshee and does reasonable damage, stalls the third, denies the fourth for like forever. Symbol cracks and goes for a basetrade, his saving-grace infestors pop five seconds two late at his main and he is unable to kill bomber's 1-hp MMM army. Bomber floats his CCs two new locations and all Symbol has left is a couple of beatdown ultras + some lings vs ~50ish now fully healed 3/3 MMM. Bomber starts dropping manner mules until Symbol ggs out.
