Flash/Inno peak in 2013 coincided with Hellbat and MMMM. Once those fell off he got beat by duckdeok. Flash/Inno peak in 2014 coincided with the buff of thors, rebuff of mines, and nerf of Blink Era. They fall after Zerg/Protoss get used to meta. Flash/Inno peak in 2015 coincided with nerf of SH, rise of mech. Unless your definition of Patch Xrace is different than mine, what you just said is outright stupid. IMO, IMO,a patch terran/zerg/toss is a player that does great when is race is OP, and poorly when is race is balance.. If your defnition of a patch player is someone doing well after a buff to his race, then i apologize, you are right, but i doubt thats the definition most people would say. But if your definition of a Patch player is actually the one underlined, then, you are just soo wrong that even your god awfull top 15 of HotS woudl look great beside it. I agree terrans were OP early hots because of hellbats. But then, terrans were the weakest race for almost a year, and their representation/performance were so low it was never seen before in the history of sc2. Can you blame Inno for doing poorly? when almost every other terrans in Korea (except Maru) were doing poorly too? But the stupidest point about your comment is Inno doing well after they revert the WM's nerf. Terrans were never OP, even, in 2015 they were arguably the worst race, close to being UP: In 2015: FOR 21 PREMIER TOURNAMENTS (42 finalist) 8 TERRANS in finals. 4 wins 4 loss = 19% (far from the 33% perfect balance) 18 ZERGS in finals. 6 wins 12 loss = 43% (way above 33%) 16 TOSS in finals. 11 wins 5 loss = 38% (even less than zergs) And Innovation was performing incredibly well in 2015, in PL and individual league. Hows that a patchterran? Comming from a TL writer, i expected at least a bit of credibility.... P.S: If your definition of PatchTerran is different than mine, then i understand. And if you were trolling (didnt read the whole thread), im sorry, you really, really got me. | ||

I never like to take credit something amazing created by someone else, however I'm always willing to accept blame. Here's the reference: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/90341-pics-hwaseung-oz-new-recruits | ||

BL-infestor is an army composition that is intrinsically tied with the queen range buff, at least as far as the timeline in SC2's history is concerned. Gameplay-wise, Zerg got very good at early game defense, which allowed them to pool resources much faster and reach that army composition too quickly for the other races to deal with efficiently. | ||

That plus infestor's fungals were instant so it was incredibly easy on the zerg side and hard on the other side (especially terrans because of marines), the easy holds early game and the OP+easy composition lategame allowed any top master to quickly become relevant, and current pros to beat higher tier players (VortiX...). | ||
