I'd have named 20 or so straight out. | ||

There could have been if adepts were buffed to the state they were, but it was at release and didn't last long. Same as why there is no patch terran: the only era where randoms (that's the spirit of patch zergs, and why VortiX or Stephano can't ever be considered patch zergs, which doesn't mean they weren't helped by zerg strength, everyone is guilty of that) were doing very well with terran was in the early GSLs, but it wasn't because of a patch since it was near release so without a patch. It's kinda sad that you could be good with Z/P just copying actual good players, with terran it's all about micro & mechanics, watching pros play is hardly useful. | ||

Noone thought the Swarm Host was fun though. It was considered pretty unviable as well in early HOTS. | ||

KiLLeR is, results-wise, the best latin american player of sc2. He got a third place in IEM NY in 2011, his run only stopped by the mighty DRG. Also, he got a RO8 at the 2012 BWC, defeated by the juggernaut Rain. Better than Major, at least, who had zero decent runs in premiere tournaments. So, he's not a patchzerg. | ||

Certainly you guys wouldn't like it if all the users started talking like this in posts? This isn't reddit. Teamliquid (and Waxangel specifically) has a long, rich tradition of tongue-in-cheek articles that are really just sophisticated bullshit intended for comedic effect. This is a fine example of such. | ||

Is this the part where everybody gets to tell what they hate the most?  I think Warpgates, Forcefields, Dark Templar and Oracles are still all worse and ruind more games every season than BL/Infestor and Swarm Hosts ruined during the whole existance of SC2. | ||

That's only true because a typical BL/Infestor or SH game usually took around 5 hours to be done. Simply no time to ruin more games. Quality > quantity anyway, BL/Infestor and SH easily had a higher level of destruction to the beauty that is sc2 gameplay. Other than that, Dts are ok i think | ||
