They Say That in 2012 - a Haiku

They say that Terran,
is too strong in many ways.
Stim, Stutter step, win

They say that the Zerg,
is the most overpowered.
Max out, re-max, win

They say that Protoss
Is the... okay, nevermind.

In Heart of the Swarm,
Some new changes are coming,
The game is changing

Terrans' not the one
With the only long range siege
Swarm Hosts, Tempests too!

This year has been fun
Big tournaments organized
WCS, my fave.

Distinguished guests came
Tastosis; casting Archon
HD, Painuser

When the dust settled,
No-to-ri-ous P-I-G
The whole crowd chanted.

GLaDe, the Prince of Blades,
Fought hard but only retained
His Oceania crown**

They say that this year,
Barcrafts have exploded here
Here, there, everywhere

Touching stories of
First-timers, old-timers, and
Any in between

They say that this is
Only just the beginning
E-Sports keeps growing

2012 was great,*
All I need to end it well
Is a beta key

(*2012 is read as 'twenty - twelve', so that line IS 5 syllables
**I pronounced 'Oceania' as 'oh-shen-na' so I could fit it in LOL.)

Very good and a nice poem.

I feel obligated to point out that Oceania is pronounced O-ce-an-i-a which is 5 syllables.

Presumably you're doing the Australian trick of cutting out syllables in words to make it work (o-shar-na)?

Thanks TheGentleman No, I am doing the Singaporean trick of mispronunciations by pronouncing it 'Oh-shen-na'.
