Not even going to watch another IEM if there if nothing is done about imbalance. I feel like I wasted my time watching an amazing Pro like IdrA lose to some pesky noob strategy. I laughed so hard when morrow said he practised reaper micro for 2 hours my first time using reapers I easily took out like 30 lings with 4 of them in a 2v2 random.

I just watched the rep of game 1, I'm not even gonna bother playing Zerg in multiplayer until they patch this crap. Nor do I see any reason for why any Zerg should anticipate in any tournies either since Terran now pretty much autowins against them.

I would understand the hate for Morrow more if Idra had played better and still lost, but this was clearly not the case. Look at Blistering Sands game for example. Idra actually managed to surround all of Morrow's reapers and kill them. He was ahead going into a macro game. Then he did terrible attacks into Morrow's bunkers and missed larva injects, leaving his minerals at 1k. I just don't see how you can argue Idra deserved it more with that performance.

Every whiner here would do the exact same thing in morrow's position to win 5k.

Congrats to morrow.

Woke up to see that I missed it =/

Probably not going to watch the finals lol; didn't sound that great. But gonna watch Dimaga vs Tarson asap.

I have a question to ask you enzym, if you humbly would like to reply. You state there are no imbalances, and perhaps not, but what I would like to ask you is this:

Starcraft 1 took several years to balance, and when it was released the zerg imbalances were so heavy it was crazy. Now there have not yet been any balance patches in the whole history of starcraft 2 after the release:

Do you claim that even though Bill Roper and the incredible SC1 team were not able to balance the game (Starcraft 1) for years, STILL Blizzard managed to balance Starcraft 2 so well that at release there were no reason to patch the balance anymore? Starcraft 2 balance by a fluke or perfect foresight by Blizzard was perfectly balanced at release even while Starcraft 1 and probably every other competitive game out there needed patches after release to balance things that pro gamers find out and abuse?

IdrA tilted completely, glad to see the better and more creative player win.

Of course you'll have people whining about Reapers, ignoring the fact that IdrA clearly managed to win against it if he doesn't blunder, and that MorroW won a macro game, and that he didn't even go Reaper in the final game, but eh... who needs logic when you can whine.

Any of you who were here for TSL should know Morrow does what it takes to win. I only saw game four so I can't comment on the rest but if anything, Morrow deserves more respect for abusing Zerg early game better than pretty much every other Terran.

Yes, this.
Don't hate the player. He's here to the win money, he's given a choice of shit maps and he does what needs to be done. Grats to Morrow.
Overall in the tourney he played far better than any other Terran and that was enough this time.
Don't hate the player - Hate the game

Not going to lie, professional gaming needs more female gamers... and less sexism.


So true. And less talk about gay strategies and rape. Look at how the UFC has taken MMA into something that is now regarded as a serious sport instead of a blood brawl.
