I've wholeheartedly embraced the zerg during midyear mayhem. I turn on ai invite with a LFG invite string and give all the pugenese that are just trying to have fun, earn achievements, or first stepping foot into cyro (it's scary and hard af for new players these days) at least a sense they are together in a tiny way. I offer minimal direction, and my leadership motto is that I have no leadership motto.
I'm also probably way too laid back for cyro at the end of the day.
Someone who stumbles across a 3v1 fight and decides that it’s theyre duty to make it a 4v1 fight.
Or a group that sees a 20v5 and thinks that cyro would be better if it was a 25v5.
I thought about it some more and you’re right - I forgot to add snipe spamming zerglings who only engage a small scale group that’s already fighting outnumbered.
But hey I guess not everyone is decent enough get a kill on their own. If people decide they are going to play the easiest playstyle in the game (snipe spammer) then I really wouldn’t expect them to actually try to win fights on their own either, they are much more likely to get a kill by leeching off of their betters or off of another zerg.
And if a player is leeching off of a zerg that is zerging down a small scale group, and STILL manages to get farmed repeatedly, then I don’t think the word “zergling” is accurate because that person is lower on the food chain than the zerglings he’s leeching off of.
But I like players like that because they make me look great in my videos.

Basically anyone who goes out of their way to engage in fights where they have a numbers advantage. Extra zergling points if you immediately run away from all even numbered fights but are glad to engage when you have the numbers.
It's a double-edged sword. Some of the most fun I have had in this game was fighting large blobs of PuGs. However, as player skill and game knowledge increases over time, it becomes an issue when those PuGs never "graduate" to small-scale groups (or try once, fail and compensate by further increasing group size).
I know a guild that by now is leveraging every available game mechanic and will literally not leave the IC sewer base unless they have at least 5 dedicated healers, multiple negates and +10 DPS, knowing full well that the only enemies they face are Gunzork and I. They will take a district and then hide on that flag for up to half an hour, waiting for single players to cap it.
This defeats the sportsmanship aspect of PvP and removes any actual competition or skill. Part of the reason why they do this is because of the unwillingness to lose. They have no problem wiping the same players 50 times in a row all evening but the second they fully wipe, they will change campaigns and move on, as a way of maximizing their own game enjoyment.
To me, the only silver lining is, that if you follow this approach, you very quickly run into a skill development glass ceiling and never really progress past it.
Zerg = a large group, regardless of the level of organization or tactics. A zergling = anyone part of such a group. It could also be anyone who might as well be part of the group due to following the group and being in the middle of the group, a.k.a. "zerg surfers". However not all zerg surfers are zerglings. Some zerg surfers only follow the zerg to find the large enemy groups where they can pick off players, or to get in on the ticks.
A Zerg is a large mostly unstopped force having gained massive momentum. All the negative connotations surrounding are just silly. All alliances have had groups fall victim at one point or another. (Everyday)
The harshest judges are usually victims themselves.
Which in this case we’ve all been victimized by a Zerg.
I don’t do so well at 1vxxxx but I still support my team whether we are 4 or 40.
