After winning the Code S Season 3 finals with a 4-0 sweep over teammate  Trap, Rogue gave some surprisingly honest remarks about how he was aided by Zerg being imbalanced at the moment.
In the post-match press conference [going by DailyEsports' transcript], Rogue said "I think Stats is the Protoss player who is best at late game PvZ, but even he crumbles against Zerg in the late game. There's no way for Protoss to win after you mass Infestors. I think Zerg needs to be nerfed, and not just because I won this championship. But after BlizzCon, I hope."
Rogue also admitted to barely practicing for his Ro16 group, having lost some of his interest and sense of enjoyment for the game. But after advancing from the group of death despite his lack of practice, he realized "the Zerg race is really empowered right now, and the maps are really good for Zerg" and began to practice in earnest.
When asked if he had any words for Trap, Rogue said "Trap prepared really hard. I won because balance really favors Zerg. I think he'll feel bad about this one."
Regarding Serral, Rogue said "I've faced him in international tournaments, and I think he's truly a great Zerg player. But I don't think I'm lacking in late-game macro play, and I think he won't measure up if we play late-game macro."

Hahahahaha
Mizen confirmed to be Rogue alt

If Rogue were a TL poster he would have been banned for balance whine 
|
Rogue is delusional if he thinks he can out-macro Serral late-game.

Is one of those questions about the Nydus worm? What did Rogue answer?

Big talk but i didnt see Rogue anywhere when Serral won GSL vs the world twice and he beat him last global finals. I guess next global finals will tell
He might be right about Zerg tho, not sure.
|
Soo:"I'm a clean Zerg." lol
Serral is still the best Z player without late game.
|
A KR Zerg thinking they have a snowball's chance in hell against the best European Zerg and probable Best Player. 
He may have forgotten Zerg isn't overpowered vs Zerg. 
|
Rogue has always been very humble and honest

I can't believe Zerg players would latch onto a minor comment about Serral to try and derail this important discussion about balance 
|
Why do players like Rogue and Dark look down or think they are better than Serral in macro game? Serral is a macro/end game Zerg. Both of these guys have played Serral in the late game before and got stomped. Silly Rogue.

I think its a mindset thing, If you think your opponent is unbeatable you will go into a match way differently compared to wh en you think you can beat him.

Rogue: "I won because balance really favors Zerg"
Blizzard: "Nah, we'd better nerf charge next patch."

I don't think they look down on him. They just have enough confidence in themselves to give Serral a challenge. I'm pretty sure that they know Serral is the best right now, but would you expect them to say, "Ohh he's so good, I don't stand a chance, I might as well take the loss."?

I know, it's like you offered us a pack of dynamite and everyone went back to stick and stones.
European ladder players should wake soon tho, it's comming

Serral has really lit something under Korean player's collective mindset.
|
This has been obvious for a long time and can be seen every time Tastosis cast a zerg game, it's always around not letting zerg get to the late game. This shouldn't be an almost insta-win condition for any race.
|
Surely Blizzard will nerf late-game Zerg now
|
This is the problem with balancing the game around different races being strong at different points of the game. The idea that Zerg should be strong in late game but weak in the early game or that other races should be strong at a certain time and weak late-game is so stupid but Blizzard has admitted to doing it and a lot of players support it. That might work well for a while and it has worked for the last few years but in the long term the early/mid-game will be figured out (unless there are broken builds) and whichever race has the best late-game will start winning 90% of the time. Part of it has been the patches they have done but ultimately that mindset and balancing style is the real problem. If you look at the patch notes from last Blizzcon to now the changes aren't as dramatic as the current balance would have you believe and it's due to this. If Blizzard's post blizzcon answer to this is to change the mid-game again I might quit watching StarCraft II. The balance will improve for a while but it will still get to the same point if that's all they change.
Even though the majority of this series didn't go to late-game doesn't mean the status of late-game didn't effect those other games. It dictates every build and decision Trap made.

And people still say it was because Trap playing bad. Why don't you think that the unbalance made him look worse than usual?
