It's one thing to downplay someone's achievements, but there's no walking back "has no clothes" and "patchzerg". It was intentionally written to be inflammatory and controversial. If that's what he wants fine, but you can't argue that it wasn't the point. | ||

If that's what he wants fine, but you have to be willing to take the heat for it. And every writer hopes people would at least read the whole thing before they express their opinions. But sure it's written that way for a reason, still doesn't mean people are right with their criticsm | ||

It wasn't like he was heading in one direction and made a sharp turn. It's the emphatic finish of all the questioning and skepticism throughout the article. That makes it clear what his opinion is. | ||

The new and improved hydralisk was the missing link that aided the transition to hive tech while solving all of Rogue’s problems. He has only won in an era in which Zerg’s dominant playstyle benefited him enormously. | ||

Foreigners aren't worthy enough to get TL articles dedicated to themselves, so it's a non-issue  . | ||

If we apply the same logic : Every protoss abused blink stalker = all patchtoss, and forever Every zerg, broodlord/infestor in wol = all patchzerg forever Every Terran abused 1/1/1 or hellbat drops, or mass reapers, etc... = all patchterran forever. | ||

Is it to tune down the incredible performance of Rogue? Is this a retribution for rolling over Classic? I mean come on, IEM Shanghai, GSL Super Tournament, Blizzcon and now IEM Katowice! You're putting ByuN on the same level as Rogue, that's pretty sad considering the achievements of Rogue. And finishing that article with 'patchzerg' is somewhat a big tell that you're either trolling or trying to get attention in a sad way. I really do hope the level of writing on TL.net will rise because I feel like we hit rock bottom with this one. | ||

Clearly. Indubitably. | ||
