Yup. I suspect those reapers really set him off since he was making so many uncharacteristic mistakes.

IdrA mad some huge mistakes (besides sky rocketting his money, losing the overlord, misreading morrows strategy, bad queen micro etc.)

Morrow deserved to win this. Plus who wants to see win a guy who seems to have no emotions at all. I bet even if he won he would have the same bored/arrogant look he always have>>

If you judge balance by this tourny, Protoss didn't even make it to the playoffs dude! What do you say about that.

You can blame White-Ra and Huk for underperforming. I mean they didn't lose to any specific strategies or imbalances if you watch their reps, probably just choked.

The important thing is that Morrow did what all the other Terrans in the tournament could not: defeat Idra and Dimaga. This shows him to be the strongest TvZ in the entire tournament, bar none. You cannot dismiss the fact that 2nd and 3rd place were both taken by Zergs. If Terran was truly so easy to play, why couldn't Strelok, Tarson, Lucifron, Sarens, etc. beat the Zergs?

Oh, and he also defeated TLO.

He totally deserves this.

Congrats Morrow. This tournament will surely put your name on the map when it comes to SC 2.

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?


The difference is that Starcraft 2 had a huge beta compared to SC1's paltry (100 person IIRC?) beta. It lasted for months and by doing so they were able to get a lot more information than they could in SC1. Not only this, but since SC2 was huge from the start, they had a lot more and better players available to give feedback.

Regardless of whether you think SC2 is balanced or not, you cannot deny that they have a lot more information and experience this time to help balance than they did with SC1.

And less talk about gay strategies and rape


Did anyone else cringe when Apollo said "rape" in front of hundreds of audience members? I was ashamed to be a gamer.

Is this true for disrespect towards IdrA too? It's rather questionable if bans are only issued for people disrespecting MorroW.

It goes for any player, but i dont see idra getting any hate around here


Because it's obvious IdrA is the better player and just lost to cheesy reaper bs maybe? lolol
MorroW doesn't deserve his win, swedes should be ashamed this guy is representing their country. Ban me if you want, it's worth saying.


and you're proud a usually raging idra that shows no sportsmanship is representing yours?
Do yourself a favour and just STFU

No kidding...these zerg whiners are ridiculous. I guess if Zerg should never participate in any tourneys anymore they might as well delete toss from the game judging by how they did here

Nice series planning from Morrow, I'm curious what his plan for game five would have been.

It reminded me of HDH1 when Whitera kept going 4gate (I think he 4gated the entire tourney) and on the final Steppes match, went 2gate pressure into FE with a nice wall off. Fantastic counter build and series planning.

well didnt see the games yet but im happy morrow abused them. for one blizz might fix it now and 2 now everyone can stop saying terran doesn't win anything. A better argument for it though woulda been if the brackets woulda had all terrans in it though haha
I may not be the best player right now but I think I can beat any 'best' players. I'll beat all the best players and become the best player. Watch me. - Jju
