I do agree that that was the worst that I've ever seen IdrA player... ever. Especially the Blistering game. He suicided into the middle of the map at one point, and had like 1200 minerals, which is crazy for IdrA.

Awesome interview. Loved the honesty and the confidence to say what he believes. Doesn't mean I agree 100% but I respect that and I hope other players will be just as candid.

At least he's a little more upfront than other terrans about his race being completely imba. Still, you can never call yourself the best player if you play terran. I'm not saying he necessarily isn't, just that it's not possible to tell because a zerg or protoss could be better than you and still lose due to imbalance.

I'm glad he wants a nerf, and if it ever comes in a reasonable manner, we will see how good he really is.

But I gotta point something out,

"But my macro is not any lesser than IdrA's, so I wasn't afraid of a macro game vs him."

Lawl.

To people who doubt his ability (and his claims in this interview), remember that 2nd and 3rd places were zergs, and he was the only T who managed to beat them. So the TvZ imbalance is rather small, and by no means should take away credit from his win. Consequentially, no matter how level headed he might be, if instead of the credit he deserves but doesn't get for his win people talk about the perceived imbalance, it surely does annoy him. Hence, he states both that there is some form of early TvZ imbalance, but also that players skill plays by far the predominant role.

I personally love his attitude and gaming talent.

And that chick is stunningly hot. Watch the full video.

Well whether he is the number one Terran or not people will always have their own opinion but if he thinks he is the best then he can certainly say so. The question asks "who do YOU think is the best of each race?"

wow. great interview, he's not hesitating to speak his mind, all his points are valid and he doesn't seem to be afraid of what people think of him. he's simply addressing the issues at hand.

if anyone's being petulant, i dare say it's those of us who seem so provoked by his very much straight forward demeanor. sure, some of his statements may be called bold, how ever this is to be expected in light of how difficult it is to come up with meaningful and accurate generalizations, especially when you're only 18 and english isn't your native language.

and yes of course i'm biased since we're fellow swedes, but anyway - i will continue to monitor his progress with great interest. even if balance issues made winning the IEM easier, there is no doubt that MorroW is one of the most skilled starcraft2 gamers in the world today.

it's a also pitty that dimaga didn't win the tournament, as a fellow zerg will always be more important than simply originating from the same nation. sure idra is an amazing player, but as far as i'm concerned, manners are to be a priority, not just gameplay, at least if you're serious about being a professional gamer.

after all, it is only a matter of opinion. ^_^

Good lenghty interview, "honest" answers.. sure I guess.
He comes over arrogant though, having attitude because he doesn't get as much respect as he wants.
saying things like "shame on 50% winratio zergs" or "I'm a level above all terrans" doesn't exactly get you fans

Being honest gets you fans. (not sure why you felt the need to put it in quotation marks). Some players *cough* Idra *cough* have tons of fan despite being arrogant and such things, some seemingly just because of it. Also I seriously doubt he made this interview to "get more fans" so I don't see why it matters. You can't please everybody.
