Except that, GG Morrow & Idra, congratz, you both played really well. I also loved Tarson & Dimaga play and good manners. Btw. Tarson - the only person beating Morow :D Nice tournament. | ||

When people beat IdrA, it's almost always because they do weird and ultra aggressive openings. If there ever is a guy who plays passive and macro-oriented and wins, sure he'll deserve a lot of respect. But you can't disrespect every guy before that who takes the more obvious route. And MorroW just made best use of what is available right now, you cannot blame him or call him bad mannered / greedy, whatever. Apart from really slight terran opening issues I cannot believe how balanced Starcraft 2 already is without a single balance patch after release. It's frigging amazing! | ||

It sets him at a disadvantage in planning for BoX, in addition to the fact that his games are some of the most popular. This isn't exactly an accurate comparison but even Jaedong couldn't win a starleague if he 12 hatched every game and is known for 12 hatching every game. Dimaga has tried different builds (e.g. quick nydus all-in), and we saw how well that turned out. Other than that, there is no other opening Z build besides 14 gas 14 pool and try to scout and adapt that is safe against 3-rax --> 5 rax reaper. | ||

Doesn't prove anything beyond the fact that Morrow took a gamble that paid off; something that occurs in EVERY sc2 game. Could have swung the other way so easily. Kind of feels like I'm at a 2 party political rally, where everyone is divided between two parties, stating "their preferred party is better and the other is scum" with no reason other than bias (in our case, our preferred race to play). As a zerg player, I feel cheated by Idra far more than by Morrow, in that Idra wasn't on the ball in the end, made the most mistakes and didn't bring his all to the final game. Morrow Vs Miraga was alot more entertaining, as was Miraga vs Tarson; two TvZ matchups that highlighted several back and forth counter/recounter action that simply wasn't in any of the games between Morrow and Idra. Idra is still a great player, but I just don't think he was giving his all in the final game, unlike Miraga against Tarson in the 3rd/4th place decider set. Either way, grats to Morrow, Idra, Miraga and Tarson for coming 1st through 4th respectively, and providing hilarity both through the games and as a source of discussion for this thread  | ||

No, his mindset is " i play to win" - so he hasn`t won money - he lost the money that he would have gained from beiing first. That`s some attitude you need to have. Or do you think michael jordan for example said once: Well beeing second is great? No he didn`t. | ||

Yeah he really should care for himself a bit more in that regard... for his own fucking sake. He should make a schedule like "1 Push-Up after each game". (And yes, look at that guy, he really needs to start with 1 maximum first :D ) | ||
