Switching race isn't easy, you just can't expect someone to get to the same level he used to be at in just 1-2 months. This is basically an investment by Morrow, if you feel like you have bigger potential with another race why not switch? Ofc you do bad for awhile but as we've seen now he is starting to improve rapidly and who knows how far he will get.
Despite he used reapers against idra at IEM, he is still a macro player and always has been. Therefor since zerg is a macro heavy race its a pretty logical decision.

Actually i recall somewhere on teamliquid idra saying some smartass comments about morrow when he swapped, and for the record Morrow has already achived legend status with zerg, he RAPED strelok 2-0 **(HE ALSO 12 DRONE RUSHED Him.. thats 12 drones 1 overlord 0 spawningpool and won) So give the boy some of the respect he deserves

Idra raped Strelok too, and when Terran was actually OP vs Zerg.
I still have more respect for IdrA. Way more.

I actually happen to think that the drone-rush has genius. He didnt build any overlords. Instead he did a double extractor-trick to pump out 12 drones.. So when he engaged.. it was 12 drones vs 12 scvs.. and in that case.. it's a fairly even match. But strelok was so paniced.. so it turned out to be a win for morrow.
Great creative use of the short rush distance at steppes of war.
Besides that episode im not a big fan of morrow. But i really dont know why people hate him either (even in his fanclub-thread).
I guess it is because he won against idra... then it must be because morrow is a freaking cheeser-noob. Because everybody who wins against idra, dosnt know the right way to play starcraft. /sarcasm
edit: sorry for the nontopic.. but i gotta say..I guess im a becoming a morrow-fan after the 12drone-rush :D

Fantopic guys. Remember that.

Thats perfectly fine, but why don't you keep it in the IdrA fan thread?
I remember back in the days, when MorroW still was in [MB]. I didn't like him back then. He had too big dreams, and I said to him: "you will never achieve this, its all in your head."
Today, I admit that I was wrong. You've showed us that with great dedication there is no bounds.
I salute your endeavours MorroW. And I don't doubt that you will be the greatest Zerg on the planet.
Fighting!

Good point. Sorry. I just saw something that I thought was a weak argument and responded to it... It was inappropriate, though.

That drone rush was epic, I cant believe he actually did that in a prized tournaments semifinals :p

I think Morrow was the best player at IEM and won because of that. He defeated Huk, TLO, Dimaga and Idra and Idra almost lost to Sarens (who didn't use that reaper strategy) in a BO5 and Morrow was definitely better than Sarens.

Morrow definitely proved that he is a phenomenal zerg player. His games against Strelok were amazing, and he also destroyed WhiteRa on Jungle Basin. It is scary how quickly he improves.

Well i'd love to back you up but at this point in time terran had so many stratergys that zerg hadn't developed a way to stop them, idra played far better then sarens, where is sarens right now? exactly off the map practically ..

Its not about what IdrA thinks =] but really I doubt it will take Morrow long to win a tournament with money prize so... GOGOGO MorroW

Morrow can win something in time. He has the right mindset it seemes.. but he needs to stop sending 5 and 5 banes to save a hatch he can sacrifice against Tarson on Jungle Basin^^

Totally sign me up. Morrow's replay pack after TSL2 helped me so much with my TvZ. He was just really solid somehow without macroing very well at all. Kinda like SC2 Madfrog I guess.
Then he continued to be a boss in SC2. Who the hell goes all-in drone in a prized tournament against Strelok?

Oh btw forgot to say: Sign me up!
Terran or not I will stay a MorroW fan (I miss your TvT though)
