Sorry, but Morrow didn't blindly cheese in g1 and g3. He put down the baneling nest AFTER he scouted the CC first build in both games. That's a response designed to punish a risky build, not a blind cheese. | ||

The third game was questionable. I was looking at the production tab and praying for drones. Then all those lings came... In the deciding match, cross-positions, I really don't get why you would want to rely on your opponent to not defend a bust when you've done it in the two previous games. But game 1, in a best of three, I think was really smart. Jinro didn't see it coming at all. Don't get why you would ever lose respect for him because of that. StarCraft is a game of hidden information. You have to bluff a certain percentage, otherwise you won't win as much as you should. | ||

Huk didn't lose because of lag or PvP. He was outplayed in game one, and was less prepared than Hasu in game two on a map he likely has more experience on, seeing as how he plays in the GSL. Morrow can't macro? What? Are these the first Morrow games people have watched since he switched to Zerg? Morrow is one of the most terrifying macro players in the world, and I doubt he'd have any trouble keeping up with Jinro had the games fallen that way. | ||

It turns the early game into a coinflip. People calling Morrow "hyper aggressive" or thinking he played well are wrong because anyone, even a silver league player, can pull it off. This just shows how this game is too much about chances and all in and not as skill centered as WC3 and SCBW. I'm very disappointed at SC2. User was warned for this post Completely agree that SC2 is a massive coin flip atm. But to be fair ZvZ in SCBW was just as bad or even worse. User was warned for this post | ||

Let it run it's course, people find counters, and they go out of style. Morrow should be congratulated for finding something that caught Kinro off guard and showing that Starcraft is just as much a mental game as anything else. ...and that's exactly my point? I don't care about what politically correct players always say about "showing good games." All of these guys are playing professionally to win money. Yes, in the near future, this high eco aggression style from Zerg will be figured out, but until then, it's as viable as any other "strategy." Perhaps MorroW did it more blindly than July, or perhaps they both know some timings (perhaps even 5 seconds before blue flame). I haven't seen the replays yet, but it might not be as blind as you think. | ||

That's a response designed to punish a risky build, not a blind cheese. That's not what he means... It's possible to counter banelings even if you have gone fast CC. Morrow couldn't really know if Jinro was doing this or not. Hence it's a gamble on Morrow's part. | ||

First: game 2 was absolutely amazing from both players Second: The only one that 100% knows whether he was in the blind or not is Morrow. Maybe he has been watching a lot of Jinro games and builds lately. Maybe he has encountered a similar opening from terrans a ton of times before. I´m 99% sure he knew EXACTLY what Jinro was doing | ||

Jinro should have learned from Game 1 and gone for siege tech instead of trying to rush to medivacs with reactors. MorroW's play was lackluster, 1 dimensional and boring which is why i don't like watching him play. reaper rush, baneling bust...wow. | ||

Disappointing for Jinro, but I'm sure he will be practicing against that now. | ||

Whoever is playing Morrow next will probably put a bit more emphasis on scouting and had Jinro done that, Morrow would have been defeated. | ||
