Check out TLO vs BratOK from a few days ago. Also there are a lot of players favoring marauders and banshees now compared to the earlier pure tank/viking. This was seen in todays games. Tank battles using sight range advantage can be interesting too. It is also very map dependent. On steppes of war there are some very nice positions for tanks so they will obviously be used more there than on other maps. | ||

It probably depends on the specific tournament rules whether race switching is allowed at all, but I would think he had to announce it beforehand. Although, Day9's comment imo seemed like speculation. | ||

pretty much after every game with strong zergs we've seen him radically change his zvt, with alot of influence from losses to sen. cant wait to see if TLO will use that 12 hatch build we've seen lately. or if his infestor ling fast hive has moved on to something more malicious. heck he might even go low econ or do some obnoxious burrow harass and just outmultitask his opponents to death | ||

That's why I don't like the guy at all. might be true, but take a closer look at idra, acting like a 12year old every time he gets beat. but still people worshiping him ... I guess that just part of the whole internet culture. | ||

Sorry I've been needing to get that out for awhile. I have not said anything about balance, all I'm saying is that the results of this tournament won't shut people up no matter how much you want it to. That is just the reality of the situation. | ||

I'm going to admit though that I don't know what he specifically called gay this time. So maybe people are making a fuss out of nothing this time. "Idra played very well and deserved to win" That's not acknowledging his opponent? | ||

Sorry I've been needing to get that out for awhile. Lol, so because a player like IdrA practicing twelve hours a day in a korean pro team can play Zerg better than others who could probably be considered semi-casual compared to him, that means there's no problem with ZvT? Give us a break, IdrA is just a far better player who has had much more training time than most challengers. | ||

If you look back at the last tournaments Morrow have played, he's been tearing it up TvT. The reason he lost against Tarson (according to Morrow himself) was that he had never seen that opening before and it countered his own very well. I don't believe he will make that same mistakes again. Sure TLO could win TvT against him, but I still think it's a wise decision to play zerg for him. | ||

Sorry I've been needing to get that out for awhile. Couple of things. First of all, being great at a game, while it gives you some merit to discuss things because you understand the game better, doesn't mean you're good at talking about balance and being unbiased about it. In fact, often times with American players, the opposite is true. Second, the performance of IdrA/Dimaga in this tournament aren't indicative of the state of balance. It's not like all the players at this tournament are on the same level or even near it. There's a clear skill distinctions among the players in this tournament. Today's and yesterday's games were proof enough of that. | ||

Either way theres gonna be complaining if a zerg gets to the finals. | ||
