well, you have your facts, people can decide for themselves whether 82% winrate over 28 games against best terrans in the world is a worst match up or if it means Morrow is one of the best TvT players in SC2.

If you look at what terrans he faced, except a couple I believe Morrow is clearly the better one. A better player beating a worse one doesn't necessarily give you much information.

4-0 vs each Strelok and Tarson. :O

But yea. Sorta the point. Not too many terrans better then morrow.^^
also i can claim the same about his tvz and tvp. You gotta understand that there is certain finesse when it comes to this arguement, were talking about a top 10 non-korean player with no apparent weak match ups.

awesome event, everyone is always so manner at these things. im sad naniwa didnt come tho

were many good games and i think show can become a great player if he keeps up the hard work. ive been slacking lately on my practice and it has reflected my scores by not winning any tour yet while in phase 2 i practiced quite a bit and won alot. i can admit im not talented so if i dont get the hours into it im not gonna win, i was happy to come to the finals because there were many great players here.

show is a great guy and im happy he won, i asked him and he said he practiced alot lately and i think he deserve to win because he played smart, creative and fight hard in practice

its maybe uncalled to call judgement on 1 or 2 tvts ive had but in general ive been pretty much unstoppable in tvt since day 1, 10-1 i think my gosugamers stats were there. its just that recently i stopped practicing so much and ppl stopped tank viking (-10 dmg tank nerf) so now i see this new smart style by show just outclassing me, same with strelok some days ago as mentioned in this thread where he just plays a way i have not seen^^

it was a long day and started early in the morning and im sure everyone were tired towards the end i actually only slept about 1 hour this night, maven (admin) called me on my cellphone because i overslept and came 1 hour late, im just so thankful they cares about the players that much and in future i will pay my respects by preparing in practice more and sleeping more, also even more for all the great support ive gotten lately i hope i dont come off as a jackass here with lame excuse of being tired, i think it would he still could have beaten me as easily even if i was at my a-game.

at first when i saw him i thought he was just cheeser but i learned today he is a very smart player with good apm and multitasking, he told me hes actually a macro-oriented player, like swedish TLO bringing creativity with economy )

maybe next tour they should have online qualifiers like enivid said to me because then these finish and danish players could qualify at their home and go here so they dont come and lose qualifier and its a waste. so i think its better with online qualifier. on top of that then u dont have to remove players like zpux just so u can invite the ppl outside sweden, i hope in their future tournaments it will be like this

im very motivated to start practicing now, i learned today that theres much work to be done for me if i want to win in this match up

It was really fun to meet everyone again!

Big props to Maven for putting this together, although I must say the people working at IOL were anything but helpful. If they've agreed on hosting a tournament and even have 8 invited people (Where some are from other countries meaning they're actually travelling for hours and living on a hotel or/we) At least they could make the exception of letting the players have a computer available for them for practice/warmup in between games.

Instead we were asked to buy gametime and create accounts if we wanted to play inbetween tournament games (?).

We didn't really have a designated tournament area for day 1, and we weren't even allowed to finish the qualifiers past Quarter finals.

Some of the finnish players who were knocked out were asked to leave for one hour at day2 because "any players who werent part of the tour anymore has to go outside til 10 AM" (Thats when it really opens, we were there at 9 am) But I mean come on? These guys travelled there from finland and now they're throwing them out for 1 hour?!

Interesting note, related to the above, even the players who had matches coming up in 1 hour (at 9 AM) were asked to leave at first and the staff didn't want us to use any of the computers. Although most of the players got kinda upset and were like "Are you fucking serious?" and after some whining here and there they finally let us use some of the computers for warming up.

Again, nothing against Maven and the actual Sc2 admins, they were great, but the ordinary staff at IOL was fucking terrible.

HayprO finished #2 at the last IOL tourney and was rewarded a cash prize + 10 hours of game time at IOL, when he tried to use that to get a comp and practice on, they said "We've got nothing confirming this sorry, you have to pay".

There was probably more but cant think of any at the moment, It'd be really nice if the staff actually showed some sort of sign of customer service next time. Inviting players over then forcing them to pay additional costs just to get a few practice games in here and there seems retarded to me.
