1 and a half months ago Morrow was as good as Machine. Many of us are aware of his antics, but can you say you expected this guy to claim the number 2 slot? Fuck no. Morrow himself would never claim he was capable of such a feat until low and behold. He's still number 2. Fuck, Greg cannot even say he expected himself to sit next to Morrow. NO ONE did. :. This is the most impressive feat considering no one expected it. | ||

Yosh's streak is impressive but i believe a lot of top foreigners would be capable of such a feat given a bit of luck with opponents and cheese. Idra is the only one who can get A+ playing koreans (yes even though he migt have played most of the games against A- guys he has also beaten A koreans). Morrow being number 2 is surprising but given the dodging and choosing of opponents it isn't as impressive since other "underdogs" like octzerg have clearly shown that it is possible to reach a higher ranking in this ladder system than arguably better, but less abusive players. | ||

 .And not to bash TSL or anything, but the format is kind of corrupt; any system when you get to choose your opponents is just BEGGING to be abused in so many ways. | ||

imo A+ vs koreans is far more impressive than 57-0 vs non-koreans, dont u guys remember how testie managed to do 100-0 on pgtour? (yea he picked map and matchup, but anyway, 57-0 isnt that hard, every top foreigner can achieve this if he avoid playing good koreans) 1st spot is for mamon for ~710 games now, thats really sick | ||

Dunno how to emphasize it enough unless you are Morrow himself | ||

You could reach that in 2 weeks at 50 games per day, which if you are driven and dedicated at anything is probably near par. Idra's A+ is obviously impressive, but "foreigner" or no, he is kind of in a class of his own among foreigners now and things like this shouldn't really come as a surprise. He is a good player, but I think everyone already knew that. Yosh has always been good, but I didn't know he was active, and streaks like this are very impressive. Even the very best players are susceptible to cheese, and it's very hard to maintain long streaks on ladders (even more so than top leagues at times) because you don't know the players you are playing against, so you don't know what to expect. Hat's off to Yosh, because he must be playing ridiculously solid and safe so as to defend all the cheese but somehow still able to keep up with people who play standard every single game. Smells like he's been practicing .And not to bash TSL or anything, but the format is kind of corrupt; any system when you get to choose your opponents is just BEGGING to be abused in so many ways. 50 games a day at 15 minutes a game is close to 12 hours for 2 weeks. You don't think that's impressive, hahaha? | ||
