What the hell is up with some people here? Crying about MorroW going mass reapers, saying it's not a respectable move.. First prize money is $5000 for crying out loud. Second of all it's not even an all in strat (game 4 he did the same and got completely shut down but still won the macro game).

Get real, it's a tournament. Not using the strat that gives you the highest chance of winning would be completely retarded.

I think people should be giving MorroW respect for at least admitting that it is imbalanced. Too many Terrans like to claim otherwise or avoid the question, so I give MorroW respect for admitting straight up that he used imbalanced strategies.

And I agree that even if it is imbalanced, there is no reason any T should NOT use the strategy just because it is imbalanced. The game is about gaining any advantage you can, and intentionally avoiding imbalanced strategies is not only denying yourself an advantage, but it also puts you at a disadvantage because you are unnecessarily restricting yourself.

Let blizzard balance the game eventually, and let it be shown on these large scale tournaments why they SHOULD balance the game.

Great play by Morrow. Stop the hating. As much as i dislike Reapers myself, Morrow did a great job of controling this "imbaness" and a lesser player would just have lost their reapers. He played a great series, but now blaming imbalance isn't really what you should do. You play the game thats in fron of you and you're playing to win. Has nothing to do with manner or selfrespect.

Everyone utilizes the strengths of their race to win. If one of those strengths happen to be "imbalanced" you really can't blame the player.

TBH I'm more mad that dimaga didn't build some roaches to beat the reapers.


Because no terran would switch to marauders from his 5 techlabs when he saw roaches pop out, amirite?

Uh, guys, reapers are not all-in, it's a harass play while Morrow expands. HOW IS A BUILD WHERE A PLAYER EXPANDS AND MACROS ALL-IN, jesus.

To be honest, it seems a bit stupid if you can go 5 rax reaper before CC and not be impossibly behind when you fail to do damage (i.e game 4).

It's a problem with zerg, both races can do high pressure builds and maintain probe/scv production, but zerg can't even maintain drone production while defending, let alone trying to do a similar high pressure build themselves, even if they had a build like that

I think Zerg players need to fiddle around with the idea of placing a second hatchery in their main to have sufficient larvae for mass Zerglings ... expo hatcheries are hard to defend against Reapers and you NEED the larvae, so that is the one option open. Zerglings arent too expensive either, so you dont need to expo fast and gas isnt a high priority either, so few Drones should be enough. If the Terran builds 5 Barracks plus tech labs the Zerg should be able to build one additional hatchery too.

Dont blame Terrans to be IMBA if you dont try everything (thats more than IdrA can come up with).
If you cant say what you're meaning, you can never mean what you're saying.

When you are playing a game like this to win, you find every little thing that you can abuse, and abuse it as much as you possibly can. That's what makes competition great, and what makes it hard to create a really good competitive game. If a game can be abused too easily, or too effectively, it's the games fault, not the players'.

Wow I think MorroW regrets his win a little bit because he admitted that dimaga is the better player. Hopefully he is not going to capitalize on reapers so much in the finals against idra (obviously ).

And I don't like the feeling I get when MorroW admitted that reapers are a little imba TvZ. Now those terrankids on the ladder open mass reaper against the Zs... :<

I'm mostly okay with this. Mass reaper isn't exactly a massive problem until you get up in the higher reaches. The less skilled terran players (and there's a significant gap between good and bad terran players) will be crushed mercilessly trying this build. I'm more worried about tournament situations, where there's money on the line. And if I had money on the line, I'd sadly say I would be wholly willing to abuse mass reapers to get it.

That's what you do in a tournament. He played to win, wouldn't you? Especially since Dimaga was the better player, he implied. No way was he at fault, lol. Huge respect for Morrow, however, for voicing his opinion that it is imbalanced to his mind!

I don't understand why everyone has their panties in a bunch about reapers. What's the difference between 5 barracks reapers and 5 barracks worth of marine marauder? I've seen a ton of games where the first push fails and yet the terran wins anyways. This is no different. No one would be complaining if he'd somehow won on the first push with m&m.

No respect for you Morrow.


No, a really great respect for him, for saying that it IS imba.

Pure WIN for both players on the sympathetic part.


Indeed, do you think its Morrows fault that particular strat on this matchup is imbalanced? NO, its blizzs fault, and i would love to see you participate in a 15k tournament and refrain from using it to win that amount of money, so plz stop it

Edit: and its partly Dimagas loss too , he should have build roaches
Leave it to ................... Luck!!

I feel bad for MorroW since he hasn't enjoyed his win seemingly. I think he really regrets playing that way against dimaga who seems a humble and cool person with alot of skill when it comes to TvZ.
