Nice article, good Job, finally some appriciation of Zerg, it feels like his abusive and doint what is neccesary to win, without the desire to look pretty holds him back from beeing a fan-favorite and always beeing viewed as the villian.

So basically Rogue's Achilles heel is BO5 knockout matches. And the format changed this year just to snipe him. Shame on GSL! Another reason to boycott!

Damn, this is great write up from tl writer whom I used to detest before. From "The Emperor Has No Clothes: Rogue's Future Legacy" to "Rogue wins 4th GSL Code S Championship".

Rogue used to be called patchzerg but that title hasn't ever been called to the player who won a handful of championships right after he did a year before. For me, it was just inevitable that Finnish player was younger than Rogue and could do many things when competitions were not stacked as few years back. Rogue nowadays relies more in his mind-games, games sense, strategic planning and good micro but the longer the game subsides, his poor handling of units and multitasking end up costing him a game. His mechanic is no longer superior like his older days when he is about similar age as Finnish player.

Again, record is still a record, though. His impressive resume aside from the Bo7 records and undefeated streak in the offline final matches, should put himself on the top of any legendary Sc2 figures with Maru or Innovation only come to contest.




Rogue & Maru fan boy. ^^

Serral does not have a chance against Rogue in the finals, it would be a brutal stomp. To truly challenge Rogue, it would have to be against Reynor. He would be a threat with his aggressive style and mind games which sometimes can even rival Rogue.

Great recap, thank you.

I was rooting for Creator, but hard to look past Rogue.

I wish the finals would go back to being on a weekend

Creator went on a dream run to get to the finals. I doubt anyone would've predicted he could make it this far. It's a shame he wasn't able to get over the final hurdle, but he took two games more than I thought he would. In the end, Rogue seemed better prepared and deserved to pick up the win, so congratulations to Rogue.

I think this raises the deeply philosophical question whether Patchzergs still exist if every patch ends up being good for Zerg

You could call them "Expansionzergs" instead, I suppose?

Zerg has always been strong, just took a while for people to figure out the game in WOL, as soon as you stay in a stable meta where patch changes are minimal zerg always dominate because the other 2 races cant create new problems for Zerg to solve at the highest level, this is why zerg needs to get nerfed and nerfed hard

Fruitdealer did it on maps like Desert Oasis and Kulas Ravine where getting a second base was almost impossible .

That seems really silly to say when Serral beat Rogue 3-0 in the semis of IEM Katowice, not particularly a minor tournament. I don't think Semis and Finals differ enough from one another to state it'd be a brutal stomp in any event.

Such are mirrors, ZvZ especially you seem to get a lot of sweeps where actually the individual games are pretty tight, or a few gambles paying off here, a misread there and it’s a sweep.

I’d slightly favour Rogue in this current meta to be fair, he’s a tricky customer with everything in his locker, and it’s quite a tricky and volatile matchup.

There was a previous meta where everything was pretty stable into roach/latterly viper wars and Serral was untouchable in the matchup.

Wasn't objecting to Rogue being a favorite - I think it'd be a tossup and more dependent on the form of the day - but rather their statement that Serral wouldn't have a chance against Rogue and that it'd be a brutal stomp - this has been proven to be incorrect plenty.

That's why Serral does the 1000iq thing and take out Rogue 3-0 before he reaches the finals. To truly beat Rogue you have to prevent him from getting into a best of 7. Realistically though, I think guys like Serral, Reynor, Maru, Rogue can take out each other on any given day.

He was referring to Serral's brutal series swept in their recent final match meeting. Nothing personal though.
