What an absolutely awful misuse your recognition on this site for the purpose of player-bashing someone who showed incredible form. Calling someone "Patch-Race" is the strongest way to disregard and downplay someone's achievements in this game, and should only be done under circumstances it is very clear that their race's strength was the crutch that allowed them their victories. That is certainly not the case for Rogue, a player who has always had unique insight into the game and showed amazing play throughout his end-of-2017 run. Rogue showcased impressive play against everything the best opponents of all 3 races could throw at him, and three tournaments in a row he overcame that. Seriously, using such an article to crap all over a player who has worked for years to this success (the only KR Zerg to win any premier tournament in 2017), and showcased amazing play to do so, is low. | ||

If he follows in the steps of ByuN after his blizzcon win, then patchzerg is definitely appropriate. If he follows in the steps of Life after his blizzcon, then I don't think anyone can claim that | ||

Why can't we report this as "player bashing", i've never seen something more insulting toward a player, even on battle.net where there is no moderation, people blame balance, rage but at least respect progamers. For 1 year, only 2 zerg performed on korea : soO and Rogue, and Rogue is the best, while in the meantime Byun, Innovation, TY, Gumiho, herO, Stats, Zest performed on the kor scene. But last post of the OP was "Maru and Innovation, the last savior of the weak terran race", and now : "Rogue the bigpatchzerg". It's pure whine, rather post this on battle net. Worst, it's close to public defamation. So you "read between the lines" and came up with this interpretation? Not bad! I don't wanna make this a poster A bashes poster B thread though so i won't bother after this post but yours is the most stupid thing i have seen in a while, gz  | ||

it reads like a troll, i.e. deliberately trying to cause adverse reactions would fit better on reddit honestly. | ||

I think this was an interesting point to raise and, despite it being an unpopular opinion, I think these sort of things are worth talking about, particularly because it's the community, not the players that assign the players their place in history and labels them with terms like "goat" or "patchzerg". | ||

As a fan of Rogue's, I hope he goes on to have a fruitful career and proves that he is a player worthy of his 2017 results. But there's no guarantees that he will or that any player, for that matter, will see long term success because of a brief period of prosperity. I think this was an interesting point to raise and, despite it being an unpopular opinion, I think these sort of things are worth talking about, particularly because it's the community, not the players that assign the players their place in history and labels them with terms like "goat" or "patchzerg". While I don't exactly agree that Rogue is a patchzerg, I definitely appreciate the quality of this article and the thought-provoking conclusion. Of course there are fools getting triggered because they can only remember the last word. Context matters, something which many readers seem to have forgotten in favor of mindless hate. It's a well-written article, and I daresay that if you changed the last word to "Rich," this exact same article would be unanimously praised for its depth, insight, and wit. | ||

With the word 'rich' it wouldn't generate as much discussion though. | ||

I can't deny I'm enjoying all the kneejerk rage about literally one single word out of the entire article, but idiocy gets tiresome rather quickly. Props to Mizenhauer though, he doesn't shy away from controversy. | ||
