I remember in 2014, Apollo and Kaelaris were discussing the idea of patch Zergs in a WCS cast, and Apollo egged on Kaelaris to actually name a name. Kaelaris said you firet, and Apollo, on stream, in one of the highest-profile SC2 leagues, named JonnyRecco.
The world is better when every background has a chance.

And thats why I couldnt be on a desk, I wouldnt need to be egged on. I'd have named 20 or so straight out.

Wtf haha, there weren't any patch toss or patch terrans...
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.

Stephano should be in the #1.

Not only he created the Winfestor/GGlord, but also he created the monster that was the turtle SH style.

Stephano killed esports, but we are just too blind to admit it


I wasn't paying attention to the Starcraft scene during HOTS...what was the initial community feedback to Swarm Hosts? I can't imagine anyone thought the unit was a good idea when it was introduced, but obviously hindsight is biased.


The initial feedback to HotS was that Zerg was getting all the fun stuff, Terran got absolutely nothing after the Warhound removal and until shortly before beta ended noone even knew what Protoss would end up with.


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

Also, I want to make a statement:

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.

Blizzard's lack of response to BL/infestor is their worst move with SC2.

With only reading the title, I knew with 100% certainty that Sniper would be #1. Appears out of nowhere to win a GSL and to never be seen again.

I remember those days when I used to troll TL with the phrase "sick new up-and-coming talented Zerg player" and variations. The thing is, you could know that I was obviously trolling, but you can't really ban a guy for praising a player, so I got away most of the time with this. Most of the time ;D.

Wow, this is really hostile.

I don't approve of this at all. I'm very disappointed in the staff here setting such a bad example. 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.

I think Swarm Hosts were worse.... I know BL/infestor was super overpowered and broken, but swarm hosts were just downright EMBARRASSING.

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
