    More than 24 is a zerg.
    A zerg is when you step outside your keep and see so many people running towards you that you just turn around and go back in.

    I considee a zerg as a large number of players who wins by the numbers and not by their skills as players. As in starcraft zerg is cheap units who can be mass produced due to low cost. They win by overwhelming their enemies. That does not mean there are not good players in a zerg. Just that it consist of largely bad players who can't hold their own without a number advantage.

    Zerg has no proper definition, it's a complete free-for-all. That said, when I hear "zerg" I think of a playstyle characterized by disorganized, overwhelming numbers. A group of any size that properly coordinates, then, could never be a "zerg" per se.

    Above 6ppl against one is zerg.
    Above 7ppl against two is zerg.
    10v3, 11v4, etc
    24v12 is bigger zerg vs smaller zerg

    Knowledge, freedom, uncertainty and the brutal truths of reality (red pill)
    Security, happiness, beauty, and the blissful ignorance of illusion (blue pill)"

    Zerg is a slang term for a group of low-level gamers who depend on overwhelming numbers to achieve victory, rather than relying on technique or strategy. The term is most often used in the context of online role-playing and strategy games, but it also applies to multiplayer first-person shooters. Gamers essentially team up and agree to attack a specific opponent at the same time. By forming a zerg, the gamers can usually kill an enemy while taking general – but not fatal – damage as a group. This strategy itself is known as zerging.

    Zerg is also used to refer to a single player in a strategy game who uses enormous numbers of basic fighting units during the initial stages of the game to attack and defeat comparatively small-sized, but higher-level enemy units.

    I disagree with this definition only because it exempts good or elitist players. IMO it doesn’t matter if you’re the best on the server, if you 5v1 the worst player with your small man you’re still zerging, even if you’re skilled. You might not need the numbers to take that person out but IMO there’s no difference. The irony of the 1vXers who whine endlessly about being zerged, and then who happily 6v1 is very thick.

    I agree. I’ve been grouped with 1vXers who ignored solo players. I’ve also been with 1vXers who’ve hopped of their horses to kill a solo level 10 lol.
