EPTThere were some issues regarding Jonny and his non-attendance at WCG, I believe because his father wouldn't let him travel to China.
He ended up coming to the ESET UK Masters instead and placing 3rd.

It states that you played a race around the time when it was widely accepted as the best race and you won games with it. If pro players play for money and zerg is an acceptable race in tournaments then pro players who pick Zerg as their race are pretty smart if you ask me. | ||

Because it's demeaning of players and gives them absolutely no credit. No matter if there is a problem or not calling them a patch anything is disrespectful and should be ban worthy. You obviously think it's fine but even if it was terran or protoss overpowered (and if anybody knows me at all they know I have a severe hatred of protoss) I would still find it irritating as hell. It's not even funny just disrespectful. | ||

Yeah, it's basically like insulting someone as a "trustfund kiddie" without knowing if the person actually had to put in effort at school to keep his trustfund - or if he would actually be wealthy by his own merits without his parents money - by now. | ||

I believe that he overvalued himself in a slightly oversaturated market and wasn't capable of performing to his own expectations. Dignitas should not (and apparently did not) feel the need to pay for the player... and considering his level of BM, they probably didn't feel the need to pay for the person either. It is good that our community is becoming less accepting of BM. Also, TL mods, thumbs up. | ||

If pro players play for money and zerg is an acceptable race in tournaments then pro players who pick Zerg as their race are pretty smart if you ask me. Agreed, it makes perfect sense right? A patch came out that was clearly intended to buff zerg, ergo zergs post-patch turned in better results, thus they are 'patchzergs'. Problem is the term has lost its 'state-of-fact' and has now been intended as a derogatory term for a long while now ("you're not good, you're just a patchzerg" ect.). This is evident in that either through frustration or ignorance people still use the term, even when the patch has been out for the best part of 10 months now and things have stabilised in terms of global win rates and that zergs have since received nerfs. Whenever the term is used it is 99% of the time used as an attack or to cause offence (‘to troll’ if you will) and if people are trying to build a structured debate about balance then they’ll steer well clear of the term so they’ll be taken more seriously. | ||

in this case is not even derogatory. its plain and simple truth. it would be derogatory to call him anything other than patchzerg | ||
