You might have mentioned that Rogue has the 3rd longest Code S streak of all time at 16 straight which puts him 1 behind Dark and Solar who are both at 17 and was the 6th player to earn the NesTea Award behind NesTea, MVP, DongRaeGu, Dark, and Solar, but those aren't unpardonable omissions.

The problem with Rogue is he is first to exploit the weakness of design; is that good or bad...you decide. This holds true to early, mid, and end game. He can adapt. Should that be applauded? Sure. But at the end of the day he is still exploiting design to capitalize on situations.



The way I see it: Rogue is a card counter. Is it legal? Yes, card counting is legal. Do you have do be skilled to do it? Yes you have to be very skilled to do it. Can casinos still kick you out for card counting even though it is not illegal? Yes, they can kick you out once they see what you are doing.



Blizzard is the casino. There are many card counters (progamers) who are skilled - like Rogue. They should kick them out with a "nerf" and have them rejoin. How much better to get wisdom than gold; to get insight rather than silver!

Good Read. Comprehensive. For a moment I thought its kind of pulp fiction short story here. The Length of article would justify sending it directly to a print for a pamflet. And the title, for it to be added to some series of women romantic/erotic readings.



Seriously. Its nice that TL.net defend proudly one of its finest idols in these times of adversity that force all-time greats to undermine their own historic achievements.



While reading, at least a moment I felt I was Korean elitist. Immersion was very strong, and that is clear indication for the excellent writing. Now I Know Rogue. (Said in Tone of Neo)Good Read.

Like herO, but in an unfunny way.



The main power of Rogue is being very, very , intelligent and consistent in finding exploits, which is definitely a skill, but it's also frustrating and boring to watch, imo.

Rogue really convinced me he was a great, great player when he somehow beat Maru without going into the late game in which he would've simply been at disadvantage vs those Ravens. SC2 Archon needs "Terrible, terrible damage" as one of it's quotes.
