So true, Dimaga is such a likeable guy. I hope he has a fanclub here on TL yea, i met dimaga in the beijing airport last year when i was filming a commercial. really nice guy. lots of smiles and chatter. he couldnt believe that he got recognized in the beijing airport..was fun
as far as morrow saying that his play is stronger that others.. well, he proved it so if you think he is "arrogant" then you might need to check your values.

i love how direct he answers the question, great interview, MorroW is a beast

I feel for MorroW. People just say lawl terran and doesn't give the recognition he deserves as a player. Even on ladder no matter what I do or how I play I just get 'grats on Terran' comments, it gets old.
MorroW fighting~ ^_^
ty for replay pack!
edit: p.s. "and shame on all the diamond 50% win ratio Zergs who complain after each game they lose."
|
Excellent interview, respect MorroW!
Although I'm Zerg and hoped IdrA or Dimaga would take the finals I think he deserved it.
|
Why does he keep contradicting himself? It's fair to call early game TvZ broken but zergs shouldn't blame the game for their losses and he won because he was the best player.
It seems to me like he's trying to sound like a tough guy but every now and then his common-sense kicks in and he says something he actually believes, only to return to fake terminator-mode again.
2 rax marauder reactor hellion on Steppes is almost imposible to stop but don't whine about game balance. Terran could be imbalanced but we should trust him that the other players played worse than him so it doesn't matter anyway. I don't like whiners either, but you can't have it both ways.
I agree it's a well deserved win but he's undermining that when he's admitting early game TvZ is broken.. so in a way he's giving justification to those looking for a reason to not respect his win and has no right to complain after that statement.
I guess it's better than the average polite korean non-interview that could be written without talking to the player since they're so boring and predictable, but it's still a salad of incoherent half-baked ideas if you ask me.

Nice to see someone not responding with the generic korean pro gamer answers. Good read.
|
Good interview, but I'd expect the editor to clean up the spelling mistakes and what not -.- (seemed like I was being trolled at one point after reading it)
|
I'm surprised he actually thinks he was the best player there. Had he said he thought he was the best player on the day I wouldn't be so surprised.

Could be because they're two different games...?

Seems to me like you're just nitpicking here.
What he said was that even though the early game in TvZ is a bit broken Zergs can't blame their every loss on that fact. In the end, the person who wins is still going to be the person who makes the least amount of mistakes and takes advantage of the opponents mistakes, like what MorroW did vs IdrA.
If a Zerg player plays 100% perfectly and still loses to a Terran who makes a bunch of mistakes, then you can point your finger at the matchup.
The 2 rax marauder-statement goes to map-balance not matchup-balance, which is why he also said some maps are imbalanced etc,etc.
It's completely possible for the outcome of a match to be based on the players skill even if a matchup or map is imbalanced. Stop seeing everything as black or white, there's an infinite amount of grey in the middle that shouldn't be ignored.

He doesnt sound 18 at all.

I don't think he meant to say that he was the best player there but the player who performed best in the event. I believe it is a common error swedes do when trying to communicate in english (due to swedish grammar).

Yeah Stefan, lets get Sweden on the E-Sport map! Best of luck from the south!
|
That's a good interview, looks like some Smackdown interview !
Can't wait for the next Morrow Vs Idra, known as Coca Vs Pepsi !
|
She has such nice headphones really I wouldn't mind doing her backstage, I hope morrow did something with her since she just asks for it with those headphones really.
|
