Stefan ' MorroW' Andersson finished second in his group at Assembly Winter 2011. Asked after the groupstage he explains differences between Europe and Korea and demands new maps to be implemented.
Speaking of builts in general: Do European builts differ a lot from the Korean or American or are there just small details?
MorroW: It used to be kind of divided, because we didnt have replays of each other and so on but after GSL came along and so forth we could see each others built and so on. So now the playstyles have merged a bit and Europeans have started playing Korean builts, so its not super different now, but I guess the Koreans have more calculated the builts while the Europeans are more personal, they create their own styles a bit more than the koreans.
So Koreans are not that superior at all as it seems to be like they were in Broodwar?
MorroW: No, they are not that dominant, because its hard to get that dominant so fast in a game, because it takes years to become so much better than another part of the world. But Europe is taking Starcraft II very serious, so we have a lot of players practicing very hard, I think Europe can keep up pretty long.
...
What do you think is what Starcraft need to evaluate to the next level?
MorroW: I think the maps mostly, but if you get new maps, then new balance will be needed on them, of course. As a Zerg for example, I spawn close position on Lost Temple for example, its instant loss. And if I spawn cross position then it maybe favors me instead. So many maps are so position dependant.What do You think is what
...
When you look back, as you started playing zerg – was it the right decision to change the race?
MorroW: As far as tournament wins go, I would defenitely have a lot better chances with terran, but I like the switch a lot, it made me a lot happier as a player. And I enjoy practising more and playing for fun. I enjoy playing as zerg more than as terran.
...

morrow is a cool guy. maps are whats needed, but its challenging developing them. we have the new gsl maps and even our own iccup and motm maps rising up. we just need people/tourneys to start using them. glad hes liking the switch to zerg ^^
|
Yep maps are definetely the problem right now. It's just a question of what's next? gsl maps, new blizz maps or iccup maps?
|
|
|
Good to see pros are speaking out, but i think blizzard is to stubborn to listen. Their new PTR maps are total abominations.
|
Yea new map please. Actually it would be great if they can use the GSTL maps, I would like to see that.
He switches race even though he wins more as Terran. Respect.

That's the first logical answer I've seen given to that question.
Everyone else whines about a low skillcap or that the talented Korean brood war players refuse to switch over.

The real question is: why is this superiority crap being asked in every single foreigner interview? It's like these guys have inferiority complexes, or are baiting some sort of an answer akin to Demuslim's, and thus starting up another shitstorm. The foreigner scene is much stronger today for SC2 than it was 12 years ago for BW, and even back then, the first to dominate/do well were foreigners like Maynard, Giyom and Legionnaire. It took almost three years for the Koreans to actually rise head and shoulders above everyone else. Not to mention that right now, SC2 is still rather weak in Korea, as most of the talent is still being funneled into BW. I'm actually surprised that Korea is doing as well as it is, given the overall situation.
The "low" skillcap or lack of talent are all pieces of the puzzle, as well as the aforementioned overall SC2 situation in Korea and Morrow's answer. They are all factors, but I think every single person who follows the scene knows that; hence, the question is fucking retarded.

everyone's been saying that new maps are needed. that or zerg need to get buffed. but that is beating a dead horse.

sc2 hasn't taken off in korea, until it takes off they will never be as dominant as they were in broodwar. i believe about 5 million koreans played sc:bw, just look at the numbers of korean accounts on sc2ranks.

blizzard did notice it. they are testing new maps and they said that they will implement new maps more frequently.

Oh no someone has a different opinion to you :O, im sure all the people who play zerg and whine, whine because they find zerg fun which is what makes them not wanna switch.

On what do you base this on? He knows both perspectives and trained more with Zerg than he ever did with terran. He even enjoys the game more now. Still he has more tourney wins with Terran than any other EU terran (correct me if im wrong but I believe he has tons of 1st place wins since beta with T). He can actually even beat many top players with terran without practice! One of the last TLopens he took off a game in semifinal from a supergood terran with terran after being down 1-2 as zerg. And as Zerg he has been doin good be nowhere as great as his terran play (which didnt require half the efforr he's putting in now)
OT: love how good you became at Z morrow! Keep up the hard work! Or switch back to T and show how you can still perform as u did before :DDD anyway, ur a great player!
|
MoRRow for President.... GG against TLO!
|
Haha morrow contradicted himself! Won close pos LT! But it is true that it's an instant loss most of the times.
|
What an awesome guy, and so young.
Also how he said it makes him happier as a player playing Zerg. Its smart.

Uhm, he was one of the few terrans that actually admitted imbalances (reapers and such).

Morrow's interviews are always good read.

Eeexcept he didnt win more as terran lol. He won one big tournament (IEM) because he abused the broken reaper + this was PRE PATCH before terran got nerfed to the ground. Fact still remains that last time i checked the top 200 EU, morrow was r1. He was never even in the top10 EU when he played terran PRE NERF. He's doing far better as zerg and I think that the reason he is REALLY switching is the patch that nerfed terran soo hard and buffed z soo hard. IF it is like he says, that he switched cause of zerg being more fun, then that's a weeird coincident. He swaps races one week after the patch come "cause he thinks zergs more fun" not cause the game simply changed and zerg became a better race than terran.

He actually stated in interviews that he did abuse the hell out of the reaper when that was more profitable. The reason he stated was to both "shut up the whiners" and that terran was so fucking easy. And yeah he won some online tourneys as terran after the patch so I dont know where you have gotten your facts.
I like his interviews, he actually explains stuff very good.

Idk look on liquipedia and look at his tournament wins. He has won alot more as terran. When he played Terran he was one of the best in the world. His macro was WAY ahead of almost anyone at the time.
I also don't think that he switched because he thought zerg would be stronger then terran. I mean when the guy switched it took him like 2 days before he even won once as zerg. I remember seeing some of his early replay packs as zerg and oh man was it sad.
I also remember him saying that one of the reasons he wanted to switch was because he liked the challenge of zerg. He felt that as terran there was alot less to work on then as zerg. Its obvious that what motivates Morrow is not so much winning and more of the challenge of playing the "perfect zerg".
I think if there is anyone who can comment on the ZvT with any amount of unbiased perspective it would be Morrow. As he has played both races close to the top.
|
meh idc what he said. If he switched pre patch, fine, he thinks zergs funnier. But when he switches the very moment the patch hits, it becomes obvious.
|
@ Siraz: MorroW said zerg was fine pre patch before they got nerfed, before he played zerg. When the patch hits, BUFFING ZERG, he switchs to zerg and now thinks its T favoured. That's the definition of biased.

kinda strange he enjoys playing zerg more than terran. i quit the game after putting up with playing the heap of shit that is zerg for half a year. maybe he is a masochist, other than that i cant fathom why he would say zerg is fun. funny thing is, i remember a conversation i had with morrow in beta, where we talked about zerg being badly designed and he told me i should switch to terran D:
|
I think a lot of the Blizzard maps are actually fine - they just need to be enlarged.
|
@healing are u serious? so u think Z has an edge over terran right now?

No he's saying that Morrow's views are bias towards the race he plays.
Whether that's true or no [or what he even says] is up for discussion (not really).

I actually think Zerg is fun too.  I'm a low-diamond Terran, but I've been starting to get into the Zergy goodness. Then again, I'm not one of these guys looking to get rank 1 in master's league and fly over to Korea to win the GSL, so I'm not as concerned when I lose a game or two, regardless of race.
|
Love the fact he is still playing Zerg purely for enjoyment purposes. One of my favorite players out there at the moment, I really like reading his interviews.

He won everything you could win as terran. He announced he would switch BEFORE the balance patch was announced.
Are you gonna base peoples skill off their ladder rankings? Right now in Korea, IMMvp is ranked 20th.
" the game simply changed and zerg became a better race than terran" Hahahaha there you have it. Zerg is a better race than terran?
Watch some tournaments, kid. Every zerg, terran and protoss worth his salt knows zerg has a very hard time against terran, and protoss as well.
Guess why they never wanna send out zerg players in the GSTL?

I can see how he thinks zerg is fun. I think their supreme mobility makes them capable of the most trickery, such as feigned attacks and diversions while sacking an expand. It's fun to actually play around in the game.
|
Why doesn't Blizzard use iCCup maps???!!! They're awesome maps they incurage macro games and they just look cool.
But well still nice yo see Morrow making a push about the map issue : D
|
Nice little interview, MorroW is a solid player I really like the guy - good write up

Morrow has self-respect, which is why he plays zerg.
I totally agree, if i wanted to play sim city, i'd get simcity.

A top player, playing both races, then making comments about the races obviously doesn't know what he's talking about unless he says something I agree with.
/Forumhero.

This was a great interview thank you!
also I think morrow is better with zerg then he was with T but that is just IMO. I dont think the maps we have now are that bad though the only ones I dont like are delta and steppes (I play T BTW)
|
zerg is fun but i suck with them
|
as a spectator i like zerg very much, but as a player i hate it. I lose nearly all my PvZ matches -.-
i´m looking forward to the huk-interview incoming later on today, lets see what he as an protoss says about the maps xD
|
It's great that he has fun playing zerg! Nice interview.

The thing is that both GSL and iCCup are changing their maps "on the go" if some bad thing is discovered; Blizzard does not do that. This is the problem IMO ...

What do you think: Which nation is the strongest in European StarCraft II?
MorroW: In Europe it's Sweden and Ukraine I guess.
What about Germany?
MorroW: Germany is great of course, but Sweden has a lot of good players that are established and also many up-and-coming players, so I have to say Sweden.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I'm very impressed with how good Morrow is with zerg now. I can still remember when people thought Morrow could not be as good as he was with Terran. Mad props to him.
|
Would love to see Blizzard implement higher quality maps but MorroW is right in that they'd have to look at rebalancing the game for bigger maps... which is something I can't imagine Blizzard will do well

TLO, socke, insolence, darkforce, goody, hasuobs all consistently strong players, I would say germany and sweden are on a similar level overall.

The matchfixing story wasn't so much a story as a big nothing, seeing as an admin had given his approval after they requested to be able to leave WO and/or drop games in the finals.

I think Germany has as many up-and-coming players as Sweden, but the top players of Sweden are definitely better now (Jinro, Morrow, Sjow, Naniwa, Haypro vs TLO, Socke, Goody, Darkforce).

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=178790
something blown out of proportion - they asked a tournament admin if they could give credit for wins to the other player after winning a game because morrow or sjow would need 11/16? finals wins to actually win the really nice computer up as a prize, and both he and sjow didn't expect to dominate the other player by such a wide margin. They asked the admin if it was fine if, after playing the game normally, if it was possible to give the credit for the victory to the other player.
the tournament admin said it was fine but it got published as a "scandal" before it ever happened. The tournament host also was contacted by the person who published the story and spoke against the plan. After getting to the tournament, the players aborted the plan, and I believe one of them dropped out of the tournament series entirely, and the other went on to win the prize?
Also, irrelevant to the topic at hand.
|
I certainly think Mr. Jinro tips the scales a bit in Sweden's favor after his last two very successful GSL's, but there are so many good players from both areas that it's hard to say. Would love to see more foreigners make it out there, it's just too bad that there aren't smaller tourneys for them if they don't make GSL or what not.
Keep up the good work MorroW!

New maps? Goes without saying. Stale map pools just lead to people getting bored, and I was bored a month ago.
OT:
Morrow is a good guy. I've spoken with him on BWMN quite a bit, and he's almost as skilled at mapping as he is at playing.
GL with Z Morrow. I've got every confidence in you.
|
The funny thing is he said he could win just as many tournaments playing as zerg before he switched and that zergs were just QQing.
Then now he says he def would have had a better chance playing terran.

I like what he's saying. I'm always quite impressed by MorroW's comments on these sort of things.
He's still a pretty young guy, but already sounds quite wise ^^
And with the Sweden - Germany thing. Sweden doesn't even have 1/8th of the German population, so if you count good player / capita, we're doing quite well at the moment.
|
I agree with what Morrow said here. The GSL Team leagues were the biggest showcase of how better maps can greatly improve the quality of games from a spectating point of view anyway. GL in the future morrow, mad props for sticking it out as zerg.

nice interview, many valid points.

The funny thing is that you can't back up your statement with an exact quote/link, because it's wrong.

So Koreans are not that superior at all as it seems to be like they were in Broodwar?
MorroW: No, they are not that dominant
has this guy played a lot of koreans? which I don't think he has, how is he saying it like he has koreans figured out. I know everyone who moved to korea and laddered/competed, they all say koreans > europe,us, and etc. like huk who goes to EU and ladders for few days to reach #1, in his interview he says otherwise.

Yes I dont remember him ever saying that either. He has complained about protoss but thats another thing entirely.
|
MorroW: As a Zerg for example, I spawn close position on Lost Temple for example, its instant loss. And if I spawn cross position then it maybe favors me instead. So many maps are so position dependant.
I think that the claim that your position automatically determines the outcome of the game is somewhat premature. It's not like you can't do anything to change your fate at all. Obviously, MorroW has played a lot more than me, and so he knows what he's talking about more than me, but I still feel that it's impossible for him to have tried every possibility.

maybe you should read the question again? Does the question say "are the korean ladder harder than the NA/EU"? No, they asked him if koreans are as dominant as they were in bw, which they CLEARLY are not.
|
and he knows about korean's playing style how? because he lost to ret? I really don't remember him ever playing any koreans or k ladder. either way, what I am saying is that he lacks encounters with korean players to make any comment about the subject.
however, huk has reached #1 in both EU and KOR and says pretty much contrary to everything morrow is saying in this interview. sorry if I got the swed fans mad or anything.

I think that Morrow is really right.
He spends so much time invested into his gaming
that blizzard should maybe should take in this interview a little more seriously

That's a true Zerg mullet.
I agree... the biggest step toward a balanced game (specifically for Zergs) is a new map pool

And if I spawn cross position then it maybe favors me instead. So many maps are so position dependant. I think that the claim that your position automatically determines the outcome of the game is somewhat premature. It's not like you can't do anything to change your fate at all. Obviously, MorroW has played a lot more than me, and so he knows what he's talking about more than me, but I still feel that it's impossible for him to have tried every possibility.
Of course its an exaggeration to say that "<x position> is a free win for <y race> on <z map>!" However, there can be no doubt that certain map spawns can tilt the scales of balance heavily in favour of one race in a matchup, to the point where with equally skilled players and without a massive blunder you can pick the winner of a map with a certain spawn with a high degree of certainty. It's no fun to watch such predetermined games, and equally no fun to play them, especially in a tournament setting.
