The other is what defines Starcraft 2. | ||

He can play epic macro games and win, but he is extremely aggressive and if he thinks he can win with massive early aggression he will try. That is actually why he is so good, he can do short or long games, also he is very creative in small details. Also people screeming cheese , there was no cheese done by White-ra. Also what Morrow expected when he picked Blistering Sands, Protoss has to be agressive from the start or die. Anyway Morrow seems like great Zerg, and getting better as time goes, he played some great games in Take's tournament today. | ||

If the races were reversed, I'm pretty sure Morrow would cut probes and 4-5-gate close positions metalopolis and blistering sands too. It's clearly the strongest build on those maps/positions, you'd be a fool not to use that. | ||

It's not really cheese, it's just the best opening vs. Zerg at some positions. | ||

Machine vs Kiwikaki saw Machine take game 1 and then Kiwikaki go blink stalkers 3 times in a row to destroy Machine; why? Because he saw a weakness and capitalised! This may be streamed but they are playing for money, not just for you. | ||

Morrow is the only excitement in these matches with some great defense and he tries so damn hard to hang on. I don't want to see a Protoss that just goes "Well my 1-base mega ball of units can beat you, so that's all I'm gonna do." That game on Shakuras was the same thing, only Morrow managed to come back after the first attack and White-Ra seemed to fall to pieces. You didn't see Xel'naga I suppose. | ||

Enough of the complaints seriously. Turning on White-Ra, unbelievable... Edit : Oh look, a Darkshrine, sure is nothing but 5-gates in here. | ||

The other is what defines Starcraft 2. You didn't seem to understand my point. As stated by everyone a billion times, Morrow loves his dronies and defending with the minimum amount of resources. You can a) Play at a disadvantage and wonder why you're kinda meh in a macro game (because, again, Morrow will invest a lot of his resources in early econ) or b) try to abuse on that. Also, you do this four games in a row, you make the Zergy more leary to overdrone, then you go for a standard macro game in game 5 on LT. Standard BO5 high-level play. There's so much depth to this game, it's a pity people just read it as "omg he's so bad my plat buddy can do this and beat morrow". | ||
