Still believe that Sniper and RoRo were the biggest patch-zergs - those dudes patched themselves a GSL title apiece I have to jump into the breach for RorO here. He may have won his GSL during that era, but he was a genuinely good player imo. I don't think putting him into the Patchzerg category does him justice. This opinion is incorrect Roro was a legitimate BW zerg player before the switch. I think being extremely good at both RTSs puts you outside the patch label. You can still say the patch heavily influenced his peak success, but it was not the only reason he was great at SC2. RorO just gets hated on cuz he was good I'll take roro's gsl win a million times over sniper's, I'm still a little pissed on behalf of ryung poor ryung 
Ryung deserved what he got for dying to WoL Ultralisks while complaining about balance!

Your face is incorrect...
RorO was ana amzing player that was unfortunate to be judged by the fact that BL/inf netted him a GSL win, a feat that he could not quite repeat, so people just called him a patchzerg and called it a day when the guy was busy carrying his dead weight of a team in Proleague.
Calling RorO a patchzerg is like a litmus test for "once-in-2-months-I-watch-GSL" Starcraft fans
Only need this guy now who called Life better than RorO when the latter was winning GSL and the former beating GSL drop outs in Iron Squid

Roro was never great in any sense of the word

Good point actually I think I might come around to appreciating some of his contributions after all

the best part about tsl4 was the story of the peoples champion mycerion nearly qualifying for the main event...

young Serral and Baby Maru so cute <3

I remember watching that elfi vs Life series and being upset at the proud finnish cheeselord not being able to finish off yet another korean zerg. It's funny to think what became of that zerg, and how close elfi got to eliminating him on ro32 in maybe his breakout tournament.

Dang tiny Maru is so cute

Man I remember going through every single PvZ in the Korean qualifiers to do the replay pack for our giant PvZ guide with monk. That was what led me to becoming a TL staff member.
Also, do the other TSLs too pls! We need more nostalgia!

Great article! Looking forward to the next installment.

Seeing the results of johnnyrecco in this tournament makes me so tilted still haha. What a plague sc2 became at that period... Partly explains why I almost didn't play for all of HotS, after seeing / playing the end of WoL.
Cute young Maru and Creator prevents me from puking though.
ThorZain storyline in TSL3 saved the tournament from the korean lagging hard joke that it was for so many rounds, but I didn't really remember TSL4.
Hope Clem will prevail in TSL5 tho.

Great trip down memory lane! (thanks for including Raynors age... i feel old)
|
So Life 4-0 Creator in finals if he acutally played? LUL
|
Oh nice retro. Totally forgot about TSL4 and thought TSL3 was TSL4 for some reason. For a moment when I was looking at the bracket and was like where's SlayerS_BoXeR. Haha. Good stuff.

And yet, after all that, Creator is not the most tragic finalist from TSL4.

HyuN: Retired. That's a bit unfair, he went back to play BW for a long while. Unsure if he still is active.

I have a friend exactly like that: every few months hell watch the gsl finals and lamely post in r/starcraft occasionally to act like he still gives a shit but he doesnt. if he wants to miss seeing the best games cause "only the finals are worth watching" than hes too dumb to deserve seeing them.
