Rogue didn't consistantly beat the Golden Armada. That was just something Artosis said to hype him up. Even though he won impressive series against Dear/Neeb/herO during that time, iirc he was actually losing most of the skytoss games | ||

Although people talk about Byun as if we were utter crap. He still could beat any player any time. I would still put him on the same lvl as a GSL champion (i.e. Gumiho) and he can still beat any player, just not consistently. To be fair most tournament champions benefit from their opponents choking. When I watch Stats I feel like 50% of his games is his opponents choking. He does nothing and the other guy throws away his army/probes whatever. Personally, I suspect that this is not luck, but maybe part of his playstyle that forces mistakes from opponents? | ||

Even if it was lower, it was significantly higher than anyone else's. Artosis was acting like his win rate was almost 100% which was nonsense. | ||

The writer is a lunatic Biased Terran, who is unable to recognize Byun's abuse of broken mass reaper as far below what Rogue has done in recent months. I have never seen a zerg player handle the lategame against stronger Terran and Protoss races like Rogue. this writer states blatantly untrue things and whines that zerg is imba which is completely false. Take this article down and set some standards for unbiased writing, this is absolutely ridiculous and filled with both indirect insults and direct ones. So I have a direct insult for this writer: Go write articles for the President of the United States, there your talents for truth distortion will be much better received. lmao i love the salt, please keep it coming | ||

--- Shellshock, moderator First of all this is clearly intended to insult the current top player. second of all it is a grammatically wrongly worded insult, so learn some english. third of all if moderators of this forum have the freedom to post insulting comments like this, that is a clear sign of corruption. I have lost a huge amount of respect for those who run this site due to biased anti-zerg articles and posts On another note, you can't spell idiot without some of the letters in shellshock, like "o". User was temp banned for this post. | ||

As far as premier tournaments go, Rogue went 18-10 against protoss in the run up to his blizzcon win. Out of those, he went 1-3 against mass skytoss. All of the Artosis hype was because of the single map he won against Stats in GSL. Rogue was however amazing at doing hydra allins and attacks before toss reached the golden armada. | ||

That just suggests that it is easy to call him a patchzerg. Rest of the article does a really good job at setting out why this could happen, how the patch helped shore up rogues weaknesses as a player and comparing him to other one patch wonders [byun]. I really enjoyed this piece as a jin air fan. | ||

Premier tournaments might be all that matter in the greater scheme of things, but I know I saw him win quite a few games against good players using Skytoss in smaller, online tournaments. | ||

You have a pretty low bar for "suppressing opinions"... "Expressing disapproval as to the website endorsing these opinions" would be a more accurate description. Though there have been way worse articles in the past. Such as "Welcome to ZParcraft II" which despite all the solid research and the statistics turned into a giant heap of balance whining due to being written in the most insufferable tone ever. | ||
