idra defended morrows supposedly imbalanced reaper play very well, he won one game against it and made a blunder in the other one, where he fought morrows force off creep and then didnt have enough units to finish him off with his all in attack. in the last game morrow played mind games and thus completed his series. i dont understand how so many people cant see how much timing and mechanical skill morrows reaper play takes and how idra still defended and wins against it and then still call it unbeatable, imbalanced and exploitative (and btw, any strategy that makes use of a weakness in the opponents position is exploitative by definition). people have such low standards that i cant even express my disgust for this face of so called starcraft fans. there is no imbalance. and even if there was, complaining about it is nothing but unprofessional and childish. grow up and grow a brain, people, please! calm down and take a step back and take note of what actually happened in each game. | ||

Tarson opened with 5 rax reaper except he rarely did enough damage to dimaga and ended up sacing 10-12 reapers for nothing twice. MorroW opened with 5 reaper and consistently forced the best zerg player off of his macro. Although he only did eco damage in one game, MorroW's harass in the other games proved to be too much. So yes, reapers may not be the hardest build to win with but as MorroW did say in his interview it does take some practice and skill to differentiate between the good and the cheese. This all goes without mentioning MorroW's amazing tactic in the 4th game. He played with Idra's head and totally tricked him with the marauders and helions. Amazing tournament! Dimaga is now one of my favorites and I can't believe how -_- Idra is ALL THE TIME. Damn those Koreans train him well. | ||

He chosed the latter, but was it the right choice? I mean, Morrow is not bad, he could stand a chance against Idra even without abuse, and if he won then, he would both have the money and the respect from the community, and given us a watchable final series. are you kidding me? I have so much respect for Morrow right now. every time he misclicked with the reapers like 2-3 died instantly. and why is it wrong to abuse game mechanics? you do what you can to win. you use every advantage you possibly can, and try to win. totally deserved it, especially when he can win after the initial pressure, and the final game all-in was amazing mind-games. | ||
