If you're not a fan of Rogue it pretty much means you didn't watched the last 2 years of JAGW in Proleague. Definitely one of the most creative/entertaining players. + his wall of ro8 story is pretty cool. | ||

When Zerg is not strong, he drops 0-4 out of Code S. You could forgive Mizen when he called him a patch Zerg because that was just the first patch in which Rogue shone. In reality, Rogue is kind of a Zerg version of Inno, and he doesn't have many fans because of his extremely abusive playstyle. At his best he is much stronger than Dark in ZvZ and more aggressive and more clutch than Serral(of the current version of Serral, at least). | ||

Serral is the greatest player in the history of ever. He's never legitimately lost a match. Also, SC2 didn't exist until 2018. | ||

INno has a lot of fans. | ||

Fan of Rogue though, plays z in a very attractive way. I didn't expect him to win vs Maru whom I considered the big favourite to win it all. | ||

Grats to Rogue, though. Crazy to think that he, Serral and Maru are all within 6k$ of each other in total earnings. That accounts for less than 1% of their totals. And all three of them were in the semis of this tourney. | ||

Inno has won titles almost every year. Patch Terran. You're pathetic. It really looks like you started watching SC2 with LotV. | ||

https://tl.net/forum/fan-clubs/448777-serral-fan-club https://tl.net/forum/fan-clubs/445621-rogue-fan-club Blatant lies. INno was relevant when Terran wasn't overall, you can't say the same about Rogue. | ||

It really looks like you started watching SC2 with LotV. This idea of patch Terran Inno is yours entirely, jumping to conclusions is pathetic, isn't it? Inno, unlike Maru, tends not to shine when Terran is weak; this doesn't mean he never did, but his career as a top player(not merely as a sc2) is much longer than Rogue's, and more successful. | ||

Yup if you think that Maru shined when Terran was weak you're definitely a LotV only watcher. There are probably less than 10 pro who were extremely good when their race was stupidly weak .Nestea, Mvp, MC, Polt for the first 5 years were good example at some points but it was easier for Nestea/MC since the game was young, I don't know who would be the best P against BL/Infestor in 2012 for that. Polt was the only Terran with one good run in the Blink era and I won't comment on PvZ imbalance by ignorance and lack of memory. Terran since then has always been ok and a race you could win with, with ups (late HotS mech vZ, dropping on colossi vP, Liberators bonanza and raven patch in LotV) and down but nothing that would cripple a top player into ro16/8. Maru never had anything close to Polt's miraculous run at IEM Cologne which is probably the best showing of anyone fighting stupid imbalance. That's Maru first win for you, definitely a not Terran favored era :D :D :D (and what a lovely 2rax in game 3)  2013 WCS Season 2 Korea OSL/Premier | ||

I was a soO fan boy and those two apparently had a grudge back in the days and Rogue was always beeting him, so I was hill equipped to love him haha. I also was salty every time people said Life was the best zerg But in all fairness the round 8 + invicibility in bo7 in a really good and he do has some incredibly sick build | ||
