Abuse the advantages of your race is one thing when the game has reached a relatively balanced state is different from just being obnoxious. If you do anything in BW, no one will complain about you "abusing" your "OP-ness". SC2, a relatively new game, is still unbalanced (its only a month in...so be realistic). According to you logic, I should just bribe the judges etc to win since it works right? Sheesh these Machiavellian guys are just so annoying. Yes, exploiting in-game features is the same as bribing judges. Just get the hell off the forums with your terrible logic. | ||

At this state of the game, if the Zerg doesn't messes up his controls and his macro, he will win all macro games. | ||

Then the map pool killed him since idra didnt capitalise on his huge advantage after killing the reaper group on map 3. Add that point that idra got mindfucked by that one hellion, i wouldn't know why he would opt for a baneling nest there though actually. can someone explain that to me? | ||

Ban me if you want, it's worth saying. That's harsh, yea Morrow's wins were bullshit but players role is to hurt his opponent as much as possible. If they roles were reversed IdrA would had done the same. It's the race that should be under criticism not the players. | ||

Probably the best terran player, when it comes to timing pushes with excellent macro and micro AND mindgames wins. I don`t see how IdrA was a 2x better player today. He made mistakes he normally doesn`t do. So stop hating MorroW when 15.000$ are on the line. Everyone of you would have done the same - because it`s your job to play like this. It´s not just a little tournament with your friends to have a good evening, no - it`s 15.000$ on the line, in your job. What are you telling your sponsors "well, i figured that 5 rax reapers is haerd to defend as zerg an probably imba, so I tried my best with other tactics and lost"? -Well other terrans were playing this tactiocs too, you did it, why not in the finals? It`s his job to play, it`s his job to win. If there is an imballance, then go blame blizzard, not MorroW who simply uses his units to their limits. | ||

Ban me if you want, it's worth saying. Didnt he only lose to reapers once? The second game Morrow won Idra stopped the reaper harass, just made mistakes and got out macrod, and in the final game he didnt even use reapers. You people crying are just spurned Idra fanboys who think any strat he loses to is imbalanced. Morrow played better, therefor he won. | ||

You know, in that thread about gaming and the word rape I was actually against any form of moderation but to be perfectly honest hearing it said live by a caster in front of this many people was really... uncomfortable. | ||

Fantastic counter build and series planning. Well, to be honest it didn't matter what strat he used on steppes as long as it wasn't 5 rax reaper. It's not good on steppes as most terrans should know. When the only way in your base is also right by the ramp that means you can't actually try to pressure the main because your reapers will get caught. If morrow tried to reaper on that map he'd have gotten destroyed. It wasn't some ingenious strategy, just common sense on his part. | ||

Morrow was the better player today, simple as that. But lets say Reapers are overpowered, how do you suggest changing them without making them completely useless? | ||

Reapers are hard to use - being able to master their usage and using that ability in a game is completely legit. Just as idra's muta trick + banelings completely annihilated thor+marine combo gives a legit victory... One can argue you lose respect of all zerg players since 50 banelings just makes your entire bio army useless. "Hideen tech" is very common, idra did the same on the metolopolis where he hid his spire at the corner of his nat. Idra's loss, as day9 and apollo pointed out, might have to do with his failing macro: his queens were at almost full energy and his resource piled up to > 1000/1000. As a strong macro player, I believe he relies heavily on scout info (idra is VERY good with it) to get away from drone pumps - Morrow simply noticed that and acted according with ov hunts + hidden factory. | ||
