Apparently you haven't been reading the official TSL Ladder Standing thread to know this.

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.

he no more deserves the #2 spot than octzerg did when he had it
if he accomplishes something when he doesnt get to choose who he plays, then he'll have done something impressive.

yeah no one expected it but :

NO HE DID NOT DESERVED THE 2 SPOT BECAUSE HE WAS DODGING TO GET THERE.
Dunno how to emphasize it enough unless you are Morrow himself

700 games really isn't that much if you think about it. 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.
